Monday Bitchfest 3/14

I am getting this started cause I am about to blow my top.
Today was supposed to be my first appointment- DH and I rescheduled our work days around the exciting idea we would be seeing our baby for the first time. I arrived 15 minutes early, just like the asked in their nice welcome letter, even though I am an established gyn patient. I show up and the bitch receptionist gave me such attitude about the fact that I don't have an appointment today because it was rescheduled. News to me! Apparently they put me in for the wrong appointment type and didn't realize it until recently, so they rescheduled me. without calling me. I bit my tongue so hard because I wasn't sure if I was going to starting yelling or sobbing. The receptionist told me my appointment is April 4 at 8:15- unfortunately, I will be on the other side of the Commonwealth at 8:15 on April 4 for work. So she finally found the next available appointment- I will be 13 weeks and 3 days pregnant when I finally see a doctor- who isn't even my doctor. WTF. DH is irate because he had to ask his boss to change her huge meeting to another day. I am irate because I look like an ass to the judge I was supposed to meet today and rescheduled around my appointment. She happened to see me walk back into the building on my way back from the appointment I didn't have. I am torn about leaving this terribly managed practice and starting over with someone new because by the time I can get an appointment with a new practice, my appointment with my current practice will be around the same time. Oh I am so so so mad.

Re: Monday Bitchfest 3/14
My monday bitchfest:
I keep having these awful dreams that I'm being cheated on with SO's ex. Frequently. They put me in such an awful/off mood during the morning/early afternoon and it's all I can think about. My sinus infection isn't even attempting to ease up, my leg aches like growing pains, and I'm sort of cramping. All in all, just not in a fantastic mood. Small bitchfest but cranky, nonetheless.
My Monday bitchfest is that it is the Monday after daylight savings time and my already tired self is extra exhausted. Also been waiting to share this meme below (which so far is the only highlight today).

Mine is that I ran something over on my way to work. It caused my tire to go flat immediately. I had to call roadside assistance which took an hour to arrive, then I had to go to the tire store to see if I could get it repaired/replaced, and it seemed like EVERYONE was there, so it looks like another hour wait at least. All of this while I'm supposed to be covering for someone who is on vacation this week, and training someone else, and taking a class for my position, and I'll be 3 hours late if I'm lucky.
Maybe I'm just hormonal and irrationally annoyed or maybe it's just because this one woman I don't particularly care for keeps doing it.
Also, I'm watching Tiny Househunters and these people are maddening. You are looking for a TINY house, stop complaining that it's too small!

My bitch fest is lame. I spent all day vegging out with FI and the kiddos yesterday, and today my home is in shambles it seems and I get the pleasure of cleaning it all up!

@lilylover27 omg I LOVE that meme haha!
@JDMRS UGH I'm so sorry, that is infuriating. I would probably see if I could find a different practice and get in earlier.
Mine is that DH forgot to put our dr appt today on his work calendar when it was scheduled a month ago. Of course yesterday a meeting came through for our appt time. I was so pissed, especially bc I get increasingly anxious the closer the appt gets hoping everything is ok. I was going to try to reschedule the appt this morning (we're supposed to hear the heartbeat for the first time) but luckily his boss was able to move the meeting. So hopefully in an hour we will have good news and hear that heartbeat!!
My bitch today is that it was hard already getting up because of Daylights Savings Time, but I got to work and forgot my laptop at home! UGGGGH. So I had to go back!
The facility I manage hosts a lot of my programs but we also rent it out to the public. Well today I found out that we have it booked on the day we are supposed to have a luncheon for our volunteers. I think I may be able to work it out but it's going to suck. I'm just bitching at myself because it's partly my fault but also the fault of my coworker who didn't check the calendar to see that it was already booked.

I needed this thread on Friday.
A little background info: DH's best friend and his wife (who I am pretty good friends with because of their friendship) started TTC around the same time we did and got KU on their first cycle. She immediately began rubbing her pregnancy in my face. Every conversation we had now had to be about baby. It was like our friendship no longer existed because she was pregnant. She had no regard for the fact that we were not as lucky as them and were still actively TTC. To be honest, she basically ruined our four month TTC experience because of all the attention she drew to the fact that she was pregnant and I was not.
Fast forward: After my viability scan last Tuesday, DH and I decided to tell our parents and two couples we're very close to, one of which was the aforementioned lucky duck, one-and-doners. DH texted them last Wednesday and invited them to dinner on Saturday night. On Friday, DH's BF texted him and asked since it was his wife's birthday next Tuesday (tomorrow), can the dinner on Saturday night be her birthday dinner. OH HELLLLLLL NO. The insensitive bitch who demanded all the attention be on her and "baby" for months wants to make the night I reveal that we're finally pregnant all about HER?! HELL. NO. Now, I know there was no way of them knowing what our intensions were for that dinner and so I can't REALLY be mad at them, but that logic does not calm the rage monster living inside me! She has a special way of making everything about her and this was no exception.
Anyway- DH just basically told his BF no, that we invited them out to dinner with another couple and if he wanted to do a birthday thing for his wife, he needed to plan it another time. So, at dinner when we revealed, I looked at him and said "Now do you understand why we didn't want tonight to be all about her?" He said "It could've been about both."
ETA: @MRSCORKER - I think pregnant women do that to show that they're actually pregnant and not just fat. At least that's what I always think when I see photos like that.
I had a victory over BF today. I've been blah about all food except the idea of an Italian sub. So today, I said to hell with it and bought a sub from Firehouse. And it tasted so so so good. Thank you, Expecting Better, for making me feel less crazy (also my mom the pathologist who said life was full of risk but really, I drive to work every day and that's so much more dangerous than anything else I do... So.)
I don't have a Monday bitchfest so far. I'm sure I will once my boys get home. Lol

I admit this is so petty, but...we went out of town this weekend (about an hour & a half away) so I could shop & DH could go to a casino for a few hours. On the way there, DH tells me to be thinking about what I want for dinner, I can pick whatever I want. Yay! I was craving steak, and had it narrowed down to two places. He then calls a friend of his that lives there and asks what him & his family were doing for dinner, and if they want to meet us that night. They said they were just doing stuff around the house, and they would love to, just let them know what time. So...a few hours pass and DH texts me to coordinate dinner because he's at a table & can't use his phone. So I sent a text to the wife suggesting a time...and she text back that that won't work for them, how about an hour earlier? Ok. Since I didn't think DH would be done by then, I asked them to come to the area where we were, that way we could go ahead & meet up & then DH could meet us when he got done. She text back..."Oh. We were thinking we would go somewhere by the house. And we have some other friends meeting us too." And the place she wants to go is a chain place that we have in our town, and don't much care for. And...dang it, I just wanted a steak. At this point, I would have just said never mind, except these are his friends and this was his planning...and I can't get in touch with DH because he's apparently enthralled in a game of roulette...and I don't know what to do, other than try to walk to the casino where he is at and find him. Which is about a mile & a half from where I am and I had to walk on the side of a busy/sketchy looking road to get there. By the time I get there, I'm covered in sweat & near tears & have lost all ability to think rationally. Long story short, DH called them said we wanted steak & they suggested another chain place, but at least this one had steak. It wasn't great, but it was okay ...and everything turned out fine. I was just an anxiety-ridden, rage-filled, hormonal, kinda crazy, PG lady for a bit & didn't know how to deal!
@JDMRS Omg I would've had so much rage (or tears). Good for you for holding it together and I'm glad they got you in sooner!
@LGW2015 FX to hear that previous heartbeat!
@CopperBoom86 ew I would be so annoyed and you are totally justified that you should get to have your day and not share it with her. Hopefully the husband just said that because sometimes guys are stupid about these kind of things.
@kaessi I totally feel you. I'm so picky right now, that once I finally decide I want something, I have to have it. This past weekend we were out running errands and purposefully went a certain direction because I HAD to have Long Johns Silvers chicken. We get there and it is closed. I may or may not have shouted out the F word in rage and scared DH lol.

Ah but he missed an important aspect of that curse- it should include- "And may your arms be too short to scratch."
So I called the office this morning to see if/when I should come in and what new restrictions she might add to the list. The nurses were busy, I was told someone would call back as soon as they were done with a patient. It has now been 6 hours.
The annoying part is that I had to update my boss today about my status. Since my restrictions will likely not be lifted now, I forfeit my job. So I could go back to the salon (and I could start tomorrow and get paid cash tomorrow) but I can't do anything until I know if she's putting me on bed rest or not. So I'm out of a job and don't know if/when I'll be able to work again.
And then I did all the facepalms, and sent him back out for normal potatoes.
The upside is we have an excuse for steak and mashed potatoes now, so that's good.

This morning, I was having some nausea (well a lot of nausea) and my SO told me I was grossing him out by swallowing so hard...not something I even noticed I was doing.. I was so annoyed at the time, but now it is funny.
My Monday was redeemed when my coworker brought me a meatball sub for lunch without me asking and our registration office was celebrating "national chip day"...so food comforted me!
