Lol thanks, @kmolleltz

DD is 13 months old and has always had trouble breathing, even without being sick. She's a big mouth breather, she snores and her problems breathing will wake her up so she can't sleep well--she has slept through the night twice in her life. Twice, my friends. So my mom encouraged me to take her to a Pediatric ENT and we have an appointment tomorrow. I had to have Adenoids and my Tonsils removed around her age for the same reason, so did my husband. So I'm thinking (and honestly kind of hoping) that that's the case for her, too because I want my poor baby to breathe! I don't like the idea of her having surgery but I really want her to breathe effortlessly and it breaks my heart to see her like this. I hold her upright at night as much as possible but it doesn't usually do much.

So fuck you, Adenoids...and any other nose breathing problem causes.

Edited for spelling.

Thank you @kmolleltz, I so need to vent right now. My husband just woke up to a text message from his identical twin brother that basically said "Bro I have cancer. Don't tell anyone." And his FB status is some cryptic BS about not burdening your family with your problems and taking secrets to your grave.

My poor husband is freaking out right now. His twin has diabetes and doesn't take care of himself at all, and I've watched my husband fall apart time and again because he thought he was losing his brother. And I'm freaking out because I don't even know what type of cancer and I want my husband to get checked out ASAP!!

I'm just so angry at everything right now. We just found out yesterday that we're having a boy. My husband missed 10 years of his first son's life because he was falsely accused of something and was in prison. Now, instead of dreaming about this baby's future, he's wondering if he's going to miss out on his second child's life. I know there's no reason to think that way until we know more, but as soon as the word cancer registered in his brain, that's where is his mind went.

Fuck you cancer.

Sorry if I'm hysterical. My husband is a wreck right now and I can't stand seeing him like this. Pregnancy hormones probably don't help....

@krzyriver Sending you all the positive vibes

We just can't catch a break. Last Thursday my husband was in a car accident and I'm pretty sure his car is totaled (we don't have the final word from the insurance company, but the airbags deployed and the entire front end is smashed). A 22 year old woman hit him and two other people. Yesterday we went and picked up the police report and it says that he's at fault and didn't have insurance. His glasses flew off during the accident, but he gave the officer his wallet with both his ID and insurance in it, the office didn't even look for it!! His phone broke in the accident so he had called me from two people's phone at the scene and when I called them back after I left work to try and find out what was going on, they both said the woman was at fault. Ironically the ER doctor had witnessed the accident them got paged, and said it was her fault. So i have no idea how the officer decided it was his. Now he's got to go to court to fight all of it, not to mention I've had to drop him off at work 5 hours early because he doesn't have a vehicle. His mom was supposed to buy a vehicle yesterday so he could buy hers and have a vehicle again, but she didn't want to go get the paperwork that the dealership needed so he's in limbo again. I wish there was something I could do to make everything better, but I can't.

This seems trivial buttttttt I'm still mad.

The long weekend was looking amazing! 80 and sunny and beautiful. Now this system off the east coast is trying to possibly become Tropical Storm Bonnie and the weather has turned to 80% chance of rain all weekend. Most of our plans involve being on the boat with a bunch of friends coming into town. I am SO not ok with this weather ruining my Memorial Weekend.

Also, this may get some backlash but.....I have a friend who ever since she had her baby (now toddler), has been really, really lame. I know I am a FTM and probably shouldn't judge, but all my other friends with babies still find some time to be normal adults and will still hang out/come to the beach/boat/etc.... This particular friend made a slightly snarky comment about the weekend "I guess you'll just have to sit around and be bored if it rains". Hey, remember the day when you would have been mad that your holiday weekend was rained out??? I know I shouldn't be annoyed by her... I'm sure she is doing the best she can, but I just can't imagine it's as difficult as she makes life out to be when every other friend I have is perfectly capable of being normal. Plenty of babies sleep and eat on the beach. Plenty of people still find time for their friends. *rant over*

queen_frostine · May 2016

My problem is petty compared to car accidents and cancer (hope it starts looking up for you guys!) but I'm just. so. tired. I thought after the semester ended and I didn't have to be at work all day long I'd have energy to do stuff that needs to be done around the house, but so far, no. Two naps a day and a lot of sitting here thinking I should do something but not wanting to get up to do it.

TurtleMomma · May 2016

So many headaches lately. It's hard to function. Tylenol either doesn't work at all or it stops helping after an hour. I'm trying not to rely on caffeine but damn, I'm miserable.

krzyriver · May 2016

Well I'm happy to be back here just a couple hours later bitching again. He MIGHT have cancer. Apparently he bleeds a lot when he has BMs. If it doesn't stop soon, they will test him for colon cancer. Now my husband has really bad hemorrhoids all the time which cause him to bleed. His brother says that he doesn't. So who knows right now. But my husband is still going to call the doctor because they don't know their father, so he is open to any testing to be safe. He doesn't want to risk that he might be bleeding and doesn't notice because of the hemorrhoids.

But I could kill my BIL. He had us all freaking out all morning because we thought they had found cancer and that it was bad. And he ignored all our texts and calls and he was just lying in bed. I know he's scared, but that's an awful thing to drop on your brother and then disappear.

I'm still scared for both of them, but at least no one has cancer yet. I pray it stays that way.

AgentCarter · May 2016

We still haven't received our marriage certificate in the mail, and every time we try to call the courthouse, the line is busy or no one answers. HB is driving down to the courthouse (which is very out of the way) today to see someone in person about it-- which is going to push back his entire schedule so that he'll probably be working very late tonight. Ugh.

CopperBoom86 · May 2016

@krzyriver - That sh*t is cray! I'm so sorry he's putting you guys through that!

His hemorrhoids could be internal. If that's the case, there would be bleeding, but not outward sign of the hemorrhoids. I hope that's the case! If so, he owes you guys one hell of an apology.

krzyriver · May 2016

@CopperBoom86 He can be kind of a drama queen sometimes, I was praying that was what was happening. So I guess I should be happy. Lol. My mother said the same thing about hemorrhoids, so I hope you guys are right. She also said that if they really thought it was cancer, they wouldn't wait to do a colonoscopy because they're pretty standard procedures. So that made me feel better too.

Hubby is still going to talk to his doctor and try to get tested. It definitely makes him nervous that he doesn't know his father or any of that family history. But he isn't worried, he's just pissed at his brother.

krzyriver · May 2016

@TurtleMomma I'm in that boat with you. The only thing that helps me is a nap, which sucks cause I can't always go lay down. I hope you feel better soon!

@RainMira9e I know how you feel. Everyone who promised me I'd have all this energy in the second trimester lied! I take one nap in the morning and then try to power through the rest of the day. But nothing gets done and I usually go to bed early.

AgentCarter · May 2016

I'm back (so soon!). Just had a nasty encounter with someone from another department in our university (who was badmouthing my boss, who is the nicest, most accommodating person), who doesn't understand that an office of two with a huge workload may take some time getting non-urgent things done around graduation and while preparing for incoming students. I work in international relations, so we not only have a lot of things going on, but we also have to follow government regulations, which very few people seem to understand.

kmtz89 · May 2016

I feel like I need to poo but its 10pm and I don't want to get dressed/bundled up to walk to the outhouse. Blehhhh I can't wait to have indoor plumbing

mrszoess · May 2016

oh my god @kmolleltz you're my hero.

SpaceBurger · May 2016

Hahahaha @mrszoess ditto what you said

coffee89 · May 2016

@kmolleltz how long until plumbing? I don't want to walk the 20 feet to my bathroom, I can't imagine going outside!

coffee89 · May 2016

@ibabyloveb87 is it possible she has something going on you don't know about or a lack of sitters? We don't have many people around to help and DS had a lot of feeding issues when he was a baby and a lot of people rolled their eyes at us for not wanting to go out. Now at almost 2 he is such a curious handful that it is actually difficult to take him places, especially if it isn't a kid activity. I couldn't take him to the beach to enjoy adult time, I'd spend the whole time chasing him out of danger and keeping shells out of his mouth. Being an adult sometime means making sacrifices and watching sesame street while eating goldfish instead of running the town. I'm a normal adult, I just happen to require people to understand that toddlers are freaking hard.

ibabyloveb87 · May 2016

@coffee89 I understand what you are saying. I am close to her and I know some of it is lack of help. I'm not saying I expect her to be able to do everything, or even close to what she used to be able to do before baby, but other moms are noticing the same things and asking me why she's never around for anything. Like I said, I shouldn't judge since I haven't been there yet and I'm sure she is doing the best she can. But several of us have stayed with the baby and he's not been hard to deal with out and about. It was really just some of the passive aggressive comments about the weekend that set me off earlier. Hormones get the best of me sometimes!

coffee89 · May 2016

@ibabyloveb87 I would have been upset by the passive aggressive comments as well. I've got a "friend" who shut herself off from everyone in anyway possible when she had her first child. I have seen her in person twice since then and her oldest is almost 3, but she is always complaining about how she never gets to do anything and no one understand what being a good mom is.

haha aw thanks guys. Well plumbing is coming up.... but literally all house is currently is walls (rough block) and the roof. Thankfully to do the toilet chamber/plumbing is only suppose to be about $300. But the house and a whole is probably still gonna cost $1000-$1500 depending.... We're getting ready to sell our little farm harvest so hopefully that will cover about a third of the costs.
