I've noticed these aren't the most popular on our board but maybe someone else needs it today also.

My bitchfest is to myself. WTAF! I have had the hardest time sewing my darn crib skirt. I made all of the rookie mistakes you can make, and I will double check and still make the mistake. I was so frustrated and angry yesterday that I didn't finish it. Grrr to me and I am completely blaming pregnancy brain. Also it's Monday so boo! All I want to do is finish this skirt and I can't because I need to adult and go to work like the rest of the world.

edit: Words are hard

DH grandma went to the ER Saturday. She was throwing up and dizzy and started having chest/arm/jaw pain so she went in. She had abnormal EKG results so they transferred her to a bigger hospital to better monitor her. They don't think it was a heart attack but her doctor was supposed to come in this morning to look at her EKG results and compare them to previous results. If everything looked normal they would chalk it up to her diverticulitis and send her home. If not they would do a heart cath to check for blockage. DH has tried to get ahold of his mom and uncle several times and they won't answer/call him back. I know that no news is probably good news but it's so frustrating because we just want to know what's going on.

Both of my grandparents passed away last year and they were both in the hospital for seemingly minor things so I know how quickly things can take a turn for the worst.

Hope things get better and you get some good news soon!

My only complaint is that I didn't really get any me-time this weekend so its hard for me to start the week without feeling refreshed and prepared. So far so good though...

I interviewed for a new position in my current company five weeks ago (first interview) and I had an interview with the hiring manager's boss last Tuesday. I loathe my current job, because it has turned in to testing for 7 of the 11 months I have been here and was not what I was told the job would be. I'm not doing what my job description says at all. I want this job so badly and waiting for news is driving me crazy! Unfortunately, I told the hiring manager about my pregnancy because I wanted to be honest up front with her since I would be out on leave four months after starting the role! I'm really hoping that doesn't factor in to the decision...

DH was complaining about this foot issue that he gets from time to time this morning. It is mostly caused by wearing unsupportive/crappy/worn out shoes. He seriously wears shoes until his foot wears through the sole or they completely fall apart. The thing is, we can 100% afford for him to buy new shoes whenever he'd like. There is plenty of money in the account at all times, I have a well-paying stable job, and I've encouraged him to throw his shoes away and buy new ones many times.

So, I don't have any patience for his whining about foot pain. He knows he has this issue, and he knows the solution. He just is too lazy or cheap to do anything about it. I basically ordered him to go buy new, high quality shoes from a non-discount store tomorrow when DD is at daycare.

My coworker is out on medical leave as of middle of last week, and had three weeks to train the temp who is covering for her.

Some really basic parts of her job, which I told her to MAKE SURE the temp knew how to do, and are things I don't usually do - she didn't bother to even show her. I'm now trying to train this poor woman in things I've only ever done a couple of times, AND do my job AND pick up the expected slack of having someone new on staff.

I'm so annoyed with my co-worker, she knew this was coming, and I made a binder with everything to make sure the temp knew before she left... and she had three weeks of one on one time with this woman! It seems like it was wasted. The temp even said "I feel bad, but it seems like she didn't actually show me how to do anything... useful?"

All I can think is she was sabotaging the temp so her job would be secure when she got back...

charmedlifex3 · April 2016

@fremdschamen My husband does that same thing! He wears flip flops when it's snowing then wonders why he fell and twisted his ankle. Again. PUT ON REAL SHOES. Ones with tread. And no holes.

This is definitely a FWP. My stupid ear bud keeps shocking the inside of my ear! It's not the ear buds - it's the headphone jack on my laptop. It's so annoying but I don't want to sit here in complete silence so it's a sacrifice I have to make to avoid going insane.

Snaps816 · April 2016

I just have an overall case of the Mondays. I'm having a hard time maintaining any interest in my job. Between knowing that I am leaving and the fact that business has been super slow, it's just hard to get motivated at all. I've always thought of myself as having a good work ethic, and took pride in that, but for the last few months I've just been mentally checked out. But I really need to leave this job on good terms and have a good reference from them so I've got to find a way to get myself into gear. I'm trying to get into that parent mentality of "this isn't for me, it's for baby" but I'm not quite there yet.

mkfolse22 · April 2016

My DH is military and is leaving tonight for a month so he will be missing the anatomy scan next week. I don't want to find out the sex without him so I'm gonna wait until he gets back and we can find out together. But I don't want to wait so long to find out!!

haboobjob · April 2016

@Fremdschamen DH plays soccer every Friday (he's the goalie) and every Friday night he complains about how swollen his knees are/he's so hurt. This complaining often continues through the weekend. Every week I tell him the same thing: either stop playing, play a different position that doesn't cause you to be diving on your knees and/or see a doctor. Sometimes I just think he enjoys complaining and wants to be babied.

emmeline714 · April 2016

@kfolse22 what i had to do with my DH is pretty much had the anatomy scan done but when it came to reveal they actually put the pic and the gender in a sealed envelope and did not share the news with no one or open the envelope until we were together, just a suggestion......

I want to go home i would have been home by now but the other chick that comes in the PM couldn't come in for who knows what reason I WANT TO LAY DOWN !

bearsandbeets7 · April 2016

It's turns out DHs grandma was so sick because she has a fungus in her intestines because she hasn't been following the diet for her diverticulitis. I feel like I should have some sympathy but I have none. If you have a condition that is easily treatable with diet and you still don't follow it you deserve whatever consequences come with that. She's had it for years so it's nothing new to her. Maybe I'm just being harsh but it's Monday and I'm feeling extra bitchy.

Duffgurl · April 2016

Ok here it goes. My DH woke me up on March 23 in horrible pain in his stomach and back. Went to the VA ER and sure enough he needed his gallbladder removed. Was told it was in and out procedure and very simple. So they did the surgery the following day and he came home the very next day. While at home he was just not recovering. No appetite, cold and hot, was just miserable. I asked him several times babe should we go to the hospital and he said no to wait till his post op appointment on March 30th. So we go to that appt. wait around like 20mins for a volunteer to push him in the wheelchair because he can't hardly walk. Finally I decide to push him myself. With our two LOs. Anyhow back to the appt they where concerned with his symptoms and asked for bloodwork told him to come back as soon as he was done with the bloodwork and go from there to see if he would need to be admitted again. Well we go after done with the bloodwork and everyone went home! I was so pissed. Waited around for an hour and was told no to go home and wait to hear if he would need to come back. Sure enough as soon as we get home he gets the call. That his white blood cell levels are extremely high and he needs to come back in. By that time it was already like 9pm and my husband told them he was exhausted as well as are family. That he would come in the following morning. So we did just that. Oh that day we came in everyone at the VA was on there game. For all their mishaps. So they ran dye in him and did a ct scan and X-ray and sure enough there is a leak! Which is making him sick. So they said they want to put drains in. They did so the following day April 1st. Omg it was like night and day seeing my DH. He felt so much better. Great news but now we are going on today and he is being told they might need to do another surgery to fix the leak! I was like if that's the case why didn't they do that in the first place or better yet the first intial surgery after the gallbladder ripped open in him they should have took their time and make sure all was cleaned and ok. I'm just so pissed off with the VA. So now I am waiting to hear back from my hubby to see if he is being released and good to go or he needs a surgery or what. I'm just so exhausted and stressed. Being pregnant and having two LOs with no family near has been tough. I'm doing it but man I'm tired and I just want my husband back.

Sorry for the rant and misspelled or bad punctuation. I'm tired.

Over the weekend, I was in a wedding, and someone wanted to come see our condo, which is for sale. So, DH cleaned up, but had his parents help him, and they decided there was too much clutter, so they put all kinds of things away and now I can't find stuff. This includes putting away hand soap by the sinks (???), and taking most of the stuff out of our shower caddy because it was too "cluttered." Now, does it really make sense to clean out the caddy, but leave some bottles around the tub, not actually clean the tub, and leave the shower curtain open? I appreciate they wanted to help--and the place was really clean for the most part!--but I wish DH had done it himself. I felt so violated when I got home, and upset at myself that the condo wasn't already in showing condition, and annoyed that they did things like move my sewing machine off of my desk in order to stack it by the wall with some other packed boxes. Why???? I love my in-laws, but I'm a sensitive pregnant lady and I don't want people messing with my stuff.

My stupid 21yo brother in law who is supposedly drug free now is apparently getting hitched this weekend. My SIL and I know from his gf's snapchat story and my MIL guessed at it because he needed his birth certificate. Nothing says 'mature enough to get married' like avoiding telling anyone the truth about anything.

charmedlifex3 · April 2016

@acciobaby123 My brother is the same way. He drives me up a wall - 27 and acts like a little kid. He pitched a FIT because my parents "sold the house out from under him, and left him with no where to live" ... Last year. You had to actually ... get an apartment? And PAY BILLS? At 26!!! the horrors.

He's still sulking about it and hasn't come to my parents house for a holiday in over a year. He DID borrow their house while they were gone, trash it, and have a bunch of his friends come stay to go skiing. They moved a whole hour and a half away, not too far to go to have a party, but it's MUCH too far to show up for Christmas. *eyeroll*

Adulting is not his strong suit.

At least your BIL is only 21? I know I was still kind of a stupid kid at that age. (Which is why I waited until my 30's to get married and have kids;) )

acciobaby123 · April 2016

@allisun85 yup and his gf is 18.... I know a good bit of people who actually were ready and prepared for marriage at that age, but I don't think my BIL will be ready at any age. The good thing is he doesn't think he's entitled to anything from his parents, but I can tell how much his actions are hurting his family and it makes me sad. Your brother sounds like a peach, it's a wonder how siblings can be polar opposites

Fremdschamen · April 2016

@Duffgurl That's awful! I would be so annoyed!

I thought of another little one. I am SO sick of the "Is she fat or pregnant?" looks from everyone! I just want it to be a bit more obvious so people stop giving me weird looks.

charmedlifex3 · April 2016

@fremdschamen apparently once you trade in those looks you start getting "Should you be doing that??? Can I help? Should you sit down?" looks of panic instead. Fabulous. (sarcasm font)

pelorunningmama · April 2016

This has been an ongoing issue for me. I work directly under my CFO and CEO (small company). They share an admin. Repeatedly the admin has been told that she also needs to support me. Because she was in the position before I moved into my current role, she feels like she does not need to support me. Once every three weeks or so, she will not talk to me and is incredibly rude. She pretends like she doesn't know how to do things when I ask her to do certain jobs. And, because I'm on a "flexible" schedule, she feels like she needs to gossip about me to other people around the office. Little does she know I work from home to make up the few hours I'm out of the office a week to pick up DD.

I'm not a super sensitive kind of person and prefer work to be professional, to the point, and drama free. I hate the idea of complaining to my boss, but am running out of ways to handle this.

emmeline714 · April 2016

I will go punch her for you lol @LWC1112

Bookhousegirl · April 2016

@Duffgurl that sounds awful! I'm glad they finally figured out the problem but I would be so frustrated as well!

My bitch is why does DS always have to get sick on Sunday night into Monday when I'm supposed to work Monday morning?! Obviously I know it's not his fault, and I feel awful that he's not feeling well, but I have had to take like 3 Monday's off (and I only work 3 days/week) over the last 2 months.

acciobaby123 · April 2016

@bookhousegirl my sons do the exact same thing! Hope he's feeling better

Katienu · April 2016

@bookhousegirl you're a good mom. There is a mom at my DDs day care that would send her kids sick and hope out sitter didn't notice.

Bookhousegirl · April 2016

@acciobaby123 thanks! He actually seems totally fine today, I think it was a teething fever, but luckily I'm off tomorrow so I can make sure he's all good.

@Katienu that drives me nuts! I'm convinced DS got the stomach bug 2 times in 2 weeks because one mom kept bringing her child back before she was fully better.
