@annabenanna Sorry you've had a bit of a rough time lately - hope things start looking up! And I like everyone's idea about the wine reunion, haha! I've been saving a really expensive cab that we ended up not drinking at our wedding...and I think birthin' a baby is the best reason I can think of to go ahead & divulge!
Thank you @Kaessi! I'm so excited for this week/weekend because it's a kid-free week/weekend! I think DH and I both need it! Birthin a baby is definitely the best reason to drink an expensive bottle of cab!
Question to all the winos out there, are you members of any wine club? I used to be for about half a year at Club W.... but found the wines to be underwhelming...and for what we paid, it was much better value to take that money and go to Trader Joe's/Cost Plus and find our own bottles.
@annabenanna ... Our good friends were and with the one they used, they rated the wines and put in preference of types of wines... Things like that so you get more of what you like. I'll ask about what the name was and let you know.
First MBF , here goes... I got in a huge screaming at the top of my lungs fight with my mom and 17 year old sister today. We have been living together for about 2 years now to save on rent and bills, I have 3 kids and the 4th on the way. My mom parents my 17 yr old sis way different than the treatment/abuse I got. My mom had let a 17 year old boy come stay over nights for pretty much weeks now and never once cleared it with me. She let's my sister do whatever she wants and is always running to help everyone else... she does help me with the kids like feeding and bathing but nothing routinely... lately she has been gone a lot and I feel a tad overwhelmed with having the entire chore list on my back ... because even when they are here they don't help and I mostly mean my sister... she feels like her life is so hard and sleeps all the rime. What I wouldn't give for a freaking nap ! She sleeps literally all day, I cook and clean and buy food for the whole house and take care of my tribe all while my husband is working. And then he has the nerve to start staying later or leaving earlier from home to go to the gym ! I get he needs his time but I get absolutely NO time for me, ever. The kids go everywhere with me ... I don't use the bathroom or shower or sleep by myself. And I've kicked her out of my life before for the mistreatment I receive and it always circles back to Bulls hit. The past 2 nights she has come home after 11pm at full fuck ing vlume slamming dishes and talking loud ... and she says she was cleaning the kitchen at 11 pm. There are more details and back story but you'll have to buy my book ... lol, really I should write about this fucked up shut I deal with from them . I don't feel like I have anyone to vent to and my BFF just lost her mom so I don't want to share this shoit storm about despising my family with her.
A while back I actually bought a nicer bottle of champagne for some friends that were coming over. I was so excited to drink nice cool glasses of it. The day I picked that up, I also picked up a pregnancy test just in case because I had a strange feeling.....
Long story short, the champagne is still in our fridge, and I can't wait to toast our little babe once she's here

@bnsmith85, LOL. I feel like all the wine clubs may be like that, kind of underwhelming, you know? Maybe it's best to just get everyone's recommendation of their fave wines (top 5) and then make a list and try them all. LOL. I want a wine collection like @Kaessi 's!
I had my appendix taken out back when I was 16 weeks and there is major stretching going on where one of my scars is. It hurts and it's making me irritable today.
@amye102485 I'm sorry you're dealing with scar pain esp so soon after the surgery! I had surgery in the abdominal area years ago and def have felt pain due to pregnancy stretching even though that scar had been healed...and now weird stretch marks are sprouting from both ends of the scar lol.
My late MBF is that Labcorp is ridiculously packed even though I got here at 7:10am (they open at 7)....and I really need to go to the bathroom but don't want to give up my seat, I'm starving and feel like I'm about to either throw up or pass out, and I just want to get this done so I can pick up food and get to work before I'm late.

@annabenanna Ohhh I like this idea! Should we start a new thread? I'm not sure if I've ever explained how I got my wine collection on here, but...I always like to tell people that for Christmas, my H bought my a liquor store! Ha ha, okay so not really, but there was a store going out of business in my hometown and we would stop in every now & then & pick up some deeply discounted bottles. One day, when I was out of town for work, DH stopped in and asked the owner, "How much for all of it - everything you have left?" They estimated there were probably about 1200 bottles of wine & some other randoms and she gave him a very reasonable figure, so he called two friends to see if they wanted to split it, came back with a trailer & loaded up the remainder of the liquor store! I ended up with close to 400 bottles - probably the best Christmas present ever! This is what we used at our wedding as well. I think we figured that on average he paid about $1.50 per bottle! And there
were four bottles that were priced at over $150 - I got two and the
other friends got one each (since DH did all the work!). These are the
ones I have saved & plan to partake in after I get done growing a human!
its not monday but for the second week in a row I've been told my apt needs to be rescheduled WHEN I ARRIVE AT THE CLINIC. IS IT THAT HARD TO PICK UP A DAMN PHONE? We don't have a car and so the 10 minute car trip each way is actually a 45 min- 1 hr public transport deal and when I just get told the Dr isn't able to be there it's like WTF
Ugh @kmolleltz - that is SO frustrating!! Why do they keep canceling? Maybe next time call before you leave to make sure the doctor is there (and do it with a snarky tone... )
He primary works at the private hospital and then does the obgyn clinic every tuesday at this private clinic on my side of town. I plan on delivering at the actual hospital but making it out there for regular apts is a challenge and so I figured this clinic would work out better.But since he hasnt been showing up (most likely because he's too busy at the hospital) than I probably just need to go there. Luckily this time all my complaining got me his phone number so we can actually talk to him about when/where is best and stop getting the run around. @LMNOBaby
@bnsmith85 when its time to deliver we will have a car (a friends or a taxi) which means we can get there in about 30 minutes. With my apts we would be relying on public transport which will take around an hour and then some walking because there isn't really a direct route.
