Monday Bitchfest (8/22)

Taylor72 · August 2016

What has you saying "UGH" today?

M&Max · August 2016

Work? Haha - but in all seriousness, I'm so freaking tired. I could totally go for a nap and a snack right about now...

mrsstuessy · August 2016

There is so much I could bitch about, this board included. But, for my own sanity, I am moving forward. I remember so much drama on my last BMB, especially at the beginning. But after things settled down and when we were all a few more months into our pregnancies it was really enjoyable. Hopefully the same will happen here.

I had a permanent crown put in 3.5 weeks ago and on Friday I felt a crack in it. Seriously I freaking $1,000 crown that I had to pay for out of pocket and was supposed to last me many years broke in less than a month. So, I called and am coming in this afternoon. I will definitely not be paying anything more to fix this. Totally their problem, right? I mean, I am going to eat with my teeth. It's not like I was chewing on rocks. It definitely should not have broken this quickly.

Dannylion24 · August 2016

Ants! I hate chemicals, but ants have absolutely taken over my kitchen this summer and I couldn't take it so I hired pest control to spray. Two weeks later they all came back so the dude had to come back out today. Better work this time!!!

My aerobic capacity at the moment... I'm not super fit or anything but I do go to the gym several times a week (aerobics + weights). However, this weekend at the gym and again just now (walking during lunch) I feel short of breath very quickly compared to a few weeks ago. Over the weekend I could barely do 10 minutes on a stationary bike. I'm not ready for this symptom yet!!!!

LittleChick2 · August 2016

My issue today has been that 2 people have gotten stuck in my elevators at work; before 10 am, in different elevators... I see some huge discounts being handed out today.

@m&max Totally with you on the nap and snack!

@mrsstuessy I'm a little irritated about the board today too, but hopefully over time things will sort themselves out. I'm going to head over to your post soon and see if there's a thread I can help with. As far as the dentist goes, go in and make a scene if they aren't willing to help. My husband had an issue with some work he had done and it was the only way, in the end we also had to get a second opinion that said his issues were due to poor work done by the previous dentist. Good luck!

@Dannylion24 I've heard of putting corn meal or borax near an ant nest, I believe they carry it back and it kills everyone because they are unable to digest it. Perhaps it's something more natural that you can try if they come back again.

ShelbyTaryn · August 2016

My pregnancy brain.... I drove 41 miles to work in rush hour NYC metro traffic this morning WITHOUT MY WALLET. That's right, no drivers license, no cash, no credit/debit cards, etc. And you know when I pulled into the parking lot at work the gas light came on! Thank goodness DH finds my preggo brain entertaining, he came and dropped off a credit card to me! Would have been a long 40 mile walk home!

Dannylion24 · August 2016

@LittleChick2 thanks for the suggestion! Also, I'm sorry but I laughed out loud about people getting stuck in elevators. Where do you work? A hotel or something??

pinkshades05 · August 2016

@ShelbyTaryn So glad your DH helped you out! That would have been terrible!

LittleChick2 · August 2016

@Dannylion24 I actually got stuck in it with a customer last year too lol! I work for a property management company. I'm so glad I don't have to pay the invoice for the emergency trip out from the elevator company, they charge hundreds of dollars an hour.

NurseLaLa · August 2016

Food in general. I'm starving, but I have no appetite. What the heck, body?

mamabear2015 · August 2016

My kid won't. Fucking. Sleep. Doesn't he know his momma is in her first trimester and needs NO HELP feeling miserable?!

herewegrow · August 2016

Bitching at myself today... This is #3 and I can't decide when/how to tell our families we are having another. I know since it's not our first it won't be a huge deal anyways, but I'm so on the fence... We have five weddings in the next two months, two of which are cousins on either side. My issue is do I go on and announce and make it NBD or try to hide it until after so as to not "steal anyone's thunder" around weddings? I'll be 12-13 weeks and definitely showing by the last wedding of a cousin, which I'm a bridesmaid in. Any advice, ladies?

Dannylion24 · August 2016

Holy cow @LittleChick2 that suuuuucks!

bww_0331 · August 2016

@schef070911 Yes. This. I just returned from the gym and these are my thoughts exactly. I even thought I was "taking it easy" and I still got nauseous, short of breath, and had to take a break. Yikes.

JessWannaEatEverything · August 2016

Bees!! I was doing yard work - and found out the hard way that there was a yellow jacket swarm living in my gate! My husband thought this was really funny, because my top girl name contender is Bee... not sure if it's a good sign or a bad one...

catem07 · August 2016

@herewegrow I'd try to tell people before that last wedding because if you're up there showing people will just whisper about it behind your back. If that doesn't bother you, though, it probably doesn't matter if you wait until after. Or they may come right out and ask at the wedding, which would probably be worse because that would definitely take attention away from the bride.

STM2017 · August 2016

I third the vote on this board today! Sigh. I know there are always arguments in online communities, but I didn't think it would happen this early. It makes me sad that we couldn't even have a few months of sunshine and rainbows.

So my PSA: This community CAN and WILL be amazing if we let it and work on it!!! Some of the women I talk with the most in my life are from my May 2015 group. I have met women from other provinces and had play dates with our kids! Our group bonded together and sent gifts to 2 mom's who had babies hospitalized. We did a "secret Santa"
and sent gifts to each other's babies for their first birthdays!!

I'm just saying that not everyone is going to agree on everything, just like in real life we don't always agree with those around us. But that doesn't mean some incredible friendships can't form and we can't overall have an amazing support group/community for one another! ESPECIALLY after these LO's enter the world and we all struggle with the challenges of parenting them!!!

Let's just get past the initial chaos and just have a little fun!

End rant.

firewife86 · August 2016

Wtf happened to the board today?? I haven't been on since early this morning and it's turned into a drama fest of some sort?? What did I miss? Where did our boards go? Titles are missing, etc.

shoegirl1975 · August 2016

I feel like I missed something today?!? But also not sure that I want to scroll through 4 million posts? lol! all I know is our S13 group is still very close, my Dd's best friend in fact is a fellow S13 baby....I think all the new "rules" are killing the spirit....but anyway: here is my bitchfest: Dear Dr's office for the love of all that is holy can someone PLEASE just call me back and tell me if I need progesterone?It is a fertility specialist, so you would think they are more on top of things?!!? They were supposed to call back Thursday with my Betas...no one called..I called Friday and got told "it looks ok, someone will call you back to discuss..." yeah...no one has called me yet!! so freaking annoying!!!

Poison&Wine · August 2016

@Dannylion24 Holy cow with the ants! Im
glad I'm not the only one. They are making me insane. They are in the kitchen, in the living room, bathroom, everywhere. I've sprayed them and used "home remedies" until I'm blue in the face. I give up. The ants have my home now. Lol

Poison&Wine · August 2016

@STM2017
I also had my last pregnancy with the May 2015 birth month! I wasn't very involved. I mainly lurked. I plan to get more into it this time around, though! Hate that I missed out on all the fun. I'm definitely on board for the "everybody love everybody" train, though. Haha. May 2015 was a vicious board at first. Yikes.

andrea0418 · August 2016

@shoegirl1975 I would call the dr office. I'm not patient

shoegirl1975 · August 2016

@andrea0418
I finally broke down and insisted on speaking with someone... good news!!! Progesterone levels are great!! They aparently have a nothe that they spoke to me...uhm..nope??

shoegirl1975 · August 2016

also getting this silly ticker to work is going to be the death of me today!!! lol!!!

Dannylion24 · August 2016

@poison&wine I was in February 15 and it was vicious too, however it did keep things interesting. Funny bc there weren't really 'rules' about organization or not starting AW individual threads, but smackdowns were immediate and without mercy. Probably why like 50% of my board got banned when the hammer came down in Jan 2015 and then the rest dipped.

Oh god. The ants. They are killing my soul. They got into the kids' medicines the other day and I literally started crying.

shoegirl1975 · August 2016

ticker check...

ShelbyTaryn · August 2016

@Poison&Wine & @STM2017 I was a May 2015'er too! I mostly lurked but want to be more involved this time around

I sort of stopped following when there were constant porn gif's being posted in retaliation during the mass exodus. So. Much. Penis. Things were hilariously crazy at one point!

Poison&Wine · August 2016

@Dannylion24 Yes. I thought the ban was great. There was a specific group of ladies on our board that were trying to run the whole thing. They are what made me leave, and when I decided to peek back in, poof!, all gone. Haha! Curse those ants. We should get our ants together. Different colonies fight to the death of you mix their anthills lol so if you have anthills, take a scoop out of two different ones and swap em around. Plus, it's oh-so-satisfying to watch them destroy each other. Mwahahaha

Poison&Wine · August 2016

@ShelbyTaryn That's awesome! We are all here together again! Don't worry, I mainly lurked, too. I made the mistake of asking a question once. Bad idea haha!

STM2017 · August 2016

@Poison&Wine and @ShelbyTaryn, I thought I recognized some usernames!

I actually lurked through most of my pregnancy (especially during the really bad weeks/months) and then jumped back in during the last month after the mass exodus. Then I became much more active after DS was born. And then once the Facebook group was formed, well, let's just say I'm a highly active member! Lol!!

There are a couple other M15ers in here too! So glad we can all "hang out" again!

rachelgreene-2 · August 2016

@Dannylion24 ugh. Ants have been an absolute nightmare for us this summer too! We haven't seen long lines of ants, but there are just a bunch of random ones in random places all over our house and it's driving us bonkers.

Ant traps haven't worked, peppermint essential oils haven't worked, baking soda hasn't worked, borax hasn't worked.... I think we're going to have to go with getting it professionally done. Or we'll move and the ants can stay.

mrsw0920 · August 2016

@shoegirl1975 I would be calling them again!

cookies754 · August 2016

These ant stories remind me of my creepy spider story. For 6 weeks, I was getting bit only on my stomach and back. I thought they were hives
of some sort. I made an appointment with an allergist and she told me that they weren't hives, but some sort of bug bites. We had an exterminator come out and tell us it wasn't bed bugs (thank god). We were stumped, especially because DH wasn't getting bit, and I continued to.

I finally caught a teeny tiny spider on me and five more hanging from our ceiling. Had a guy come out and the bites have finally stopped. I can definitely relate with going crazy with the ants. It was unnerving after a while. I'm still creeped out they were only biting my stomach and back, it's like they knew I'm pregnant.

I say rip off the bandaid now and it will be old news by the time the weddings arrive.

Ditto!

Dannylion24 · August 2016

@cookies754 eeeeeek that is so creepy! So glad you found out what it was, and thank the Lord it wasn't bed bugs. We had a run in with them once at a vacation home. Barf!

lovelongdog06 · August 2016

My MIL scheduled a trip and was supposed to fly here tomorrow, but decided she had a bad feeling about it and canceled with really no other explanation. We told her and FIL I was pregnant yesterday only because she was coming and we wanted to tell them together. Ugh. Now I'm annoyed because we announced and didn't have to, and also because now I will question whether MIL will flake out on being here in time to watch DS, my biggest fear because we have nobody here.

chelle087 · August 2016

@cookies754, I Would have been totally freaked out! I hate spiders!

I am going to complain about sandboxes today. We put ours on the deck because our deck is totally closed in so I can let DS play while I get things done in the kitchen. I am so sick of sweeping and vacuuming sand, both outside and inside, that I could scream.

I was thinking that I would just move it to the yard next year, but now am not so sure with a LO on the way...

schef070911 · August 2016

@Dannylion24 @cookies754 OMG - we had bed bugs in January and February this year before we were TTC (we think DH brought them home from a hotel where he attended a conference). We had to go through all our stuff and bag it up for treatment, I lost about 10 pounds from stress and we only had them in our box spring (we were very, very lucky). I would not wish that on anyone. It was terrible and really embarrassing - I know anybody can get them, but having them made me feel really dirty and gross. Thankfully we've been BB-free for six months now so we're in the clear!!
