Our neighbors down the block have a small dog they keep outside often. This little guy screams and barks and howls and cries. Last night he was outside from 3pm when I got home and still going strong out there when I shut my bedroom window after midnight. It was cool out last night and he has been out there in worse weather. I swear they just forget about him out there. I filed a report with animal welfare based on our noise ordinance (really because I am worried about the little guy!) and have contacted our HOA. I am too chicken to talk to the neighbor though. Any advice?
Oh and a personal bitchfest...We shared our little guy's name on social media last night. Every single person spelled his name wrong in the comments even though it's written out in the post. I guess that's something to get used to right?! Blah.

My husband finally caved and I had a Costco hotdog today (see previous weekend bitchfest for that history). I now have horrific heartburn. Sigh, karma.

This kid is my bitchfest. I am too sick and miserable to eat until after two p.m., and suddenly I have the irresistible urge to eat doritos, sushi, and Carl's Jr.

PugsandKisses · March 2016

Some days, Dr's really piss me off. Today is one of them.

maddmama · March 2016

The joint pain in my wrists is real. OUCH

[Deleted User] · March 2016

I am so sick of the kids in the apartment complex across the street playing outside until one or two in the morning, even on a school night, even when it's below freezing out! The screaming and yelling is ridiculous. Moving day can't come soon enough.

I'm watching my 2 year old sister today and on the drive over this morning I started to get a headache. Fast forward six hours later and it won't go away, just continues to get progressively worse. I can't take a nap because she doesn't nap anymore and there's only advil here so I can't even try with a futile Tylenol attempt. I've been chugging water all day but alas, it's just going to be a migraine with a toddler and a dog kind of day.

Also, we registered today at Target and went to several trying to find the swag bags but every store in our area was out. I guess we'll try again in a few weeks..

sunshineandwhiskey · March 2016

The mom and kid I tutor who expect me to drop everything to fit them in my schedule - even though I told them at the beginning of March I have no time. It's six days before my wedding. I may go bridezilla.

stillcozy · March 2016

@schaze many of them are switching lasts years out for this years so hold tight then hit them all up! I might have gotten a few bags from the various places by us...

givemepenguinss · March 2016

@Lindsayleigh1989 is why the Targets have all run out of bags!!

If you don't know them well, maybe leave a note? I didn't realize my dog was howling during the day until my neighbor left a note essentially saying that my dog sounds very sad when I'm gone. I started taking him to day care and keeping my friend's dog with him but I would have never known otherwise.

agradi · March 2016

The asshats at work got me sick... Again. Why the fuck do you come to work when there is 2 pregnant women there who can't afford (physically, not monetarily) to get sick because one has a 3 year old who just got over being sick, and the other has had a really hard time kicking any kind of yuck she has gotten this time around... Fucking jerks.

kimunder17 · March 2016

I am sick! Starting taking and antibiotic last Monday for strep. It has now developed to a nasty cold/cough. I feel horrible! Oh and the antibiotic does not agree with my belly! But you know, being pregnant I am limited on my options and allergic to penicillin. Blah.. This stinks.

simplymizzj · March 2016

@Lindsayleigh1989 Do you have the $25 off $50 honest company coupons in that stash? If so, Target is having a baby sale today where you can combine the manufacturing coupons plus gift cards to get an awesome deal on their diapers, if you plan on using disposable diapers and not cloth.

I do!! But only one or two I think ill have to check that out is it lasting more then just today ?

deuxbouledogues · March 2016

@mnkenned what a good and obvious idea! Thank you! I can't believe I didn't think about the ease of a note... Pregnancy brain right?

That is a personal pet peeve of mine as well. When people spell my name wrong in an email or online when they can see it right there. My name is Tanya but I still to this day (and I'm in my 30s) get people that spell it Tonya. My mom says she probably should of spelt it that way after so many people kept getting it wrong. Even my grandma still spells it wrong!!

Im assuming the name you picked is Elliott, how were people spelling it? Elliot?

The sale actually starts today and lasts all week. When you buy 2 boxes of diapers, you get $10 gc and if you spend more than $150 on baby stuff, you can also get a $25 gc. Just text SAVE to 827-438 to get that coupon. I bought 6 boxes of honest company diapers plus one 10ct pack of honest company wipes to get over the $150 threshold and used (2) $25 off $50 plus (1) $10 off $50 and got back $55 in gc.

Those people are disgusting beasts. People at my job did that all winter, came in when they should have stayed home. It's nice because a 24 hour bug that I'd normally have turns into a 3 day thing because pregnant.

There is nothing I hate more, than Star Wars. That being said, our only TV was in the man cave (and then a small one mounted in the kitchen). My back hurts from watching shows while sitting in a dining room chair, and MH wasn't using the big tv downstairs, so I asked him to move it up into the living room, because there are a couple of shows we watch together in the evening, and end up watching it on the iPad. So we spend all day moving the entertainment center, TV, sound system, etc....and hooking it all back up. He wanted to test the speakers, so he put in a movie for all of us to watch, then is messing with it the whole time, only to take the movie out because he "needs one with more sound". He puts in Star Wars, and leaves that sh*t on. Of all of the movies we could all watch together, you have to put that in?! Knowing that DD and I cannot stand it. I asked him to put something else on, and now he is butt hurt because he "never gets to watch the tv" and he "should get to watch this and then we can watch something else."

I put it in there temporarily until we get a projector for the living room. Now I am wishing I just went and bought the damn projector, because not only is he claiming the tv again, but instead of just bringing up the TV and DVD player, he brought up a million surround sound items that are now scattered all over the (previously) nice looking living room....and now the living room looks like a man cave disaster zone.

Everything that comes out of my MIL's mouth on a daily basis, but my bitchfest for today is when she asked me how much weight I've gained during the pregnancy so far....in front of my husband and FIL.

Then, she proceeded to tell me I should gain at least 25-35 pounds. Um no, not every person needs to gain exactly the same. And, why are you asking this in front of your husband? He doesn't need to know how many pounds I've gained.

She then asked me if the doctor is concerned...no, she hasn't said anything bitch. And neither should you. Maybe you should go and lose 25-35 pounds instead of telling me I need to gain weight. Ugh!

I can't even look at her most of the time, because everything she says is judgy, opinionated, rude and highly inappropriate. End rant.

*Edit to add: I don't need to gain weight by any means and hope this post didn't sound like I'm bragging about my weight. Over the past three years I've gained 50 pounds due to stress, lack of exercise routine & home renovations. I should also say that three years ago I was a tad obsessive with exercise/diet and was underweight. I hope to only gain 20 pounds during this pregnancy since I started out heavier than I should have, which is within normal range for a person of my starting weight.

The gas company is digging up my street again. They come almost every Sunday night to do this. For months and months and months. Jackhammers, chainsaws, yelling. I live in a quiet suburb on a side street. There is no news or updates about their progress. I am aware this makes no sense. SO LOUD. I have a sleeping toddler. PLEASE SHUT UP GAS COMPANY.

stillcozy · March 2016

I hate when people refer to unmedicated birth as natural thus implying any other type of birth is unnatural. Used Medicatef vs unmedicated no reason to imply my childbirth experience hopefully is "unnatural"

betheliz · March 2016

I watch DS alone for nearly 12 hours each weekday. On weekends, I expect/need DH to pitch in and give me a break, but he is constantly wandering off alone to go do things he (thinks he) needs to do without even telling me. If it's really important, just tell me what you're doing and when you'll be done! And I hate that I don't have the same luxury of leaving him with DS without notice.

I will be having a surgical extraction.

givemepenguinss · March 2016

I wish I could deliver a baby in an unnatural way. Like teleportation or something.

I've been having Braxton hicks since 10 weeks. They've gotten worse over the last week or so. I'm only 25 weeks and so freaking miserable. I feel huge and waddle already, can't walk for long period and am tired all the effin time. I'm annoyed.

P.S: this is my third, so I'm also running around taking care of a 2 and 6 year old. Add that DH works crazy hours so I only see him maybe 1-2 hours a day.

I feel ya. This is my third and I feel like the pain and discomfort started way earlier this time then the past two pregnancies. I cant believe I already feel like this now, and there is still such a long stretch ahead. We can do this though! haha

She doesn't nap anymore? She'd be napping today! LOL! Hope you're feeling better!

How do you get swag bags at Target? I've never heard of such things!

stillcozy · March 2016

@randishane011804 oh let me teach you my ways young padawan! Come over to the deals and coupons thread

also all you have to do is have a target registry either set one up in store or online and then go ask for one and they hand you the bag.
