Let's hear them, guys!

mrszoess · July 2016

I ran out of
moisturizer and now I have to go to babies r us bc they're the only local place that has it.

mrszoess · July 2016

We recently got a new jeep that is huge. It's the Volvo something something. I don't even know. It's mostly DH's car but it's the only one right now that has a car seat in it and I HATE driving it because it's massive! I love my little RAV4 but we haven't gotten a car seat for it yet. Today I have to go into Hoboken, a super congested city in NJ for a 1 year old's birthday party that is known for never having parking. It's a BITCH to park there and I have to take this tank and somehow find parking with my daughter to go to a park with some sprinklers and it's already super hot out. DH won't be able to be there and ugh.

In laws are coming over for a BBQ today. DH prepped a lot of the food yesterday, but this morning decides to go play golf and won't be back until just before they get here, leaving me with all the cleaning and the dirty dishes he created yesterday. I didn't invite anyone over, why is this my responsibility?

mothernorth · July 2016

I have to bump on my laptop instead of from my phone because it isn't charging properly and I don't want to waste the battery. The web version is waaaay too busy and distracting for my taste!

mrszoess · July 2016

oh god @michi1382 I hate Hoboken

good luck

ByeBabyBunting · July 2016

I made to many plans today and I don't want to do them or even shower for that matter.

UFJen · July 2016

My husband got offered OT today and went into work. Now I have to clean the house by myself and I just don't want to. I know it sounds whiny and I am this morning!

kmtz89 · July 2016

we had a party at work today which was awesome but exhausting and now I have to go to a wedding reception this evening and I just want to lay in bed.

queen_frostine · July 2016

I had an incivility problem with a student who got mad and yelled and cursed, so we had to have a meeting yesterday with my supervisor, and I feel it was a joke. They told me that my understanding of the policies I was following was correct and they took it seriously to the point of having a police officer available, but basically the kid was upset about his excessive absences (he thought they should be excused) and the outcome of the conference where he was rude to my supervisor so she could SEE what was happening was that he was let back in the class despite his absences and after giving the "I'm sorry you're all upset when I should be upset" version of an apology. I feel the upshot of it is we are saying "you don't have to follow the rules and can be totally rude and inappropriate toward authority figures and no one will kick you out on your ass for it."

Petty because he really does have problems. The rest of the summer semester is only three more days. And while I think he should get immediate and brutal consequences for yelling at me, at least the truth is that he won't get really anywhere afterward if he keeps it up.

brzvice · July 2016

I just want to stay on my couch watching food related programming today but in fear of hearing the Charter Spectrum "Beatbox" commercial one more time and losing my &%$# I am sucking it up and putting on my bra and clothes to peruse the local farmers market.

ignoscemihi · July 2016

Today is my ticker change day and I don't like any of the 30 week size comparisons on Babysizer.

LauraPCOS · July 2016

I'm bored, but I'm also lazy and that is outwinning bored - but ya I really need to clean my place and weed my garden. I did the dishes though, that counts for something right?

mizzkbrat · July 2016

FI and I are getting a 4D ultrasound as an anniversary present to each other. Our appointment was at 1:15. It's now 1:22 and they are still doing a scan of another patient. I just want to see my baby's beautiful face for the first time! Hurrrrrry uppppppppp

Its now 1:23. Grrrrrr

maf9866 · July 2016

@LauraPCOS this was basically me all morning. Bored but too lazy to go out. I fell asleep so my dh started watching a show in the living room, I woke up but don't like the show so I went back to sleep, but because I went back to sleep, he started another episode. Now I'm laying in bed waiting for it to be over so I can retake the tv.., blah.

missmaehurt · July 2016

I want to organize our cleaning closet and hang stuff up, but I also really want a nap. Decisions, decisions.

Kaessi · July 2016

We are planning on going to the lake in a bit but my H loves to stay out allll night & cruise the lake. I just asked him if he plans on staying out late & he said, "Probably". This pregnant chick turns into a pumpkin around 10 at the latest, which means I have to take my own car so I can leave earlier & I really don't want to. It's about 30 mins away and hate driving those curvy lake roads at night. I really just want him to say, "It's ok honey, we can leave whenever you get ready." But of course that's not gonna happen....wah.

Michi1382 · July 2016

@mizzkbrat Do you have pics to share?!

Michi1382 · July 2016

@mrszoess It was fucking awful, as
predicted.

emk20102012 · July 2016

I have lots of tomatoes ready to come in from the garden which means I need to be canning them today, but I can't figure out how to make that happen while I am sitting in the recliner. Such a petty problem!

MrsHudson2014 · July 2016

I wish my problem today was actually Petty, but no. It's a real problem.

Finally I do! Little bugger wouldn't stop sucking on her chord though. Haha

LauraPCOS · July 2016

My hubby got me up and out of the house to weed the garden (he helped). I guess the soil was so dry that every time I pulled something up it went all dusty cause now I can't get all the dirt out of my nose!

Schell2013 · July 2016

I'm on holidays. Today is the last day. I don't want to go home and adult yet. I'm just not feeing motivated.

blaf322 · July 2016

Good news is that, from experience after 4 wheeling, the dirt will come out on its own lol @LauraPCOS

TurtleMomma · July 2016

The sensation of my nursing aversion is constantly changing. Today it's a tickle under my tongue and it's annoying the crap out of me. I want DS to continue to nurse and I want to tandem nurse with his sibling, but the sensation is driving me nuts.

Sprinkels28 · July 2016

Netflix is not working.

NOOOOOOOO. That is not petty. That's an emergency.

Sprinkels28 · July 2016

I'm considering signing up for hulu trial. I always always fall asleep to netflix.

Kaytee1087 · July 2016

@Sprinkels28 We have both and I love it. Hulu has a lot of shows running now, you just get the episode the next day.

My petty problem is my head hurts because of the weather and I just want to go to bed. DH insists on staying up watching TV instead of coming to bed to cuddle with me, which leaves me sad and bumping alone on my phone.

SpaceBurger · July 2016

My dog is stealing my fan breeze

You can even see his dumb hairs blowing around hahaha

blaf322 · July 2016

@SpaceBurger... He's so fluffy! Also, whata jerk... Fan thief

@Kaytee1087 ... I'm the same sometimes, just wanting DH to go to bed with me. Not sure why. But thought I'd show some solidarity... I've been in your shoes girl!

This is a constant struggle for me!

NoraAurora · July 2016

@SpaceBurger I had to stifle myself from laughing out loud in bed at your dog because my H is asleep. I nominate you for winning petty problem Saturday

missmaehurt · July 2016

@ibabyloveb87 The nap won that round

maf9866 · July 2016

This is a hold over from all the days, but it's just really bothering me today. I'm putting it here because to me, it seems petty in light of all the real problems that have come up this weekend with you guy. Here it goes:

I am feeling so... Blah. Down. Unhappy. I don't think it really has anything to do with being pregnant, besides maybe it's stronger because of hormones. I just can't seem to pull out of this slump. All I want to do is sleep everything away. My place is a mess because of packing and the laziness that is following this unhappy feeling, my dh and I aren't in a really good place because of the stress of moving and we really haven't been having sex which is causing problems, my 3 year old is really testing me in every way and my dh and I keep fighting over who is yelling at her and why, I still don't feel good (ok that's pregnancy related), and on and on. It's no one big thing but a million little things that I can usually brush past, but now I just want to disappear. Sorry for the pity party, I just needed to write it down somewhere

blaf322 · July 2016

Awe @maf9866... I'm so sorry it's all piling up for you. I can understand why you'd be feeling down. Keep your head up! I know you can pull yourself up and I'm sure you and DH will find something good and fun to do together to pull you out of the rut. Xo

NoraAurora · July 2016

@maf9866 - honey I'm sorry. I can relate. Pregnancy may be more to blame than you realize- if for no other reason than it can be the place from which other issues are stemming from. I tend towards depression during 2 out of 3 pregnancies, and the feelings don't make much sense all the time.

I know that I for one am already on the zoloft train for postpartum - I would be on something now if it weren't for certain studies making me gun shy of SSRI's during pregnancy. Try to be kind and patient with yourself and your family, as you know things get harder from here for a little while before they get easier again. But they will get easier - in the meantime it helps me to try to mindfully demand less from myself and those around me and let things go that would normally otherwise need to be done/etc. And talk to your OB about the way you've been feeling if it has been affecting your daily life for more than a couple random days.

ibabyloveb87 · July 2016

@maf9866 So sorry you're feeling blue! I had a week like that but it passed so I chalked it up to hormones. I hope you start feeling better soon but don't be afraid to talk to someone if you think you need to!!

ball4768 · July 2016

@maf9866 I can relate to this too. I've been on pelvic rest for the past 8 weeks and that has made DH and I both irritable. I've been swinging between anxiety and depression for the past few weeks as well. I've given my doctor and best friend a heads up, just in case these feelings continue postpartum. It's completely normal to feel depressed during pregnancy, but it's tough to get through it. Hang in there! You are not alone!
