Thursday venting club

AmberLiz99 · August 2016

who else has something they need to vent about today? Let's start a club to get things off our chest.

First of all, the lady I interviewed with lady week sent me some info on Sunday night and said she would call me this week about "next steps". It's now Thursday and I've heard nothing. I sent her a follow up thank you, and nothing. Arg!! I need this job, it's almost perfect, and I'm going crazy waiting!

Also, dh is obsessing about his car, and it's driving me nuts. He cinstantly wants to be working on, buying stuff for, or talking about this stupid vehicle. I hate it! I'm trying to be patient, but it's a freaking car! The kids and I would sure appreciate just a little of his time and attention. (And yes I've talked to him, not looking for marriage advice, just need to vent because I try to be nice when I talk to him about it

)

@AmberLiz99 don't lose hope on the job, I'd be surprised if she got back to you within a week even if she intended to. Not sure how big the company is, but it's rarely one person's decision and they usually are required to interview a certain number of candidates before making the decision. And with vacations etc in August it is usually a little longer. Fingers crossed!

Maybe. But it's a 5 person operation, and I spoke to the president of the company. Really hoping you're right!

An electrician is here fixing all the things my husband effed up over the weekend while I was gone. I told him not to mess with the light switches and outlets, but he did and basically broke half of them. Idiot. So we are going to have this expense on top of the new roof that gets put in tomorrow. Uuuuuuugh

Oh, lots to vent about.

(1) I must have the only dog that gets freakin' pneumonia in the summer!?! That was a fun $700 I didn't plan on spending.
(2) my water heater has been making these crazy popping noises so I figured it's best to replace it since its 9 years old and I don't want it to leak all over my garage. Well, no one told me they are so damn expensive!!!! So, $960 later a plumber put in a new one so hopefully we're good for another 9+ years. Another unexpected cost eating into our savings that is supposed to let me be on an extended maternity leave until December...might run out of money before then!
(3) Ethan had a rough night with sleep last night. He was awake every couple of hours tossing and turning but didn't want to eat. He's currently sleeping on his tummy in my bed. I really should be sleeping to.....

I have to drive into work today since my temp replacement broke her computer by accidentally spilling water on it and needs mine. We're a remote branch so getting her a new laptop would take a while. Just annoyed that I have to go to her rather than the other way around. Eh well.

1) I hurt my shoulder a few days ago and my chiropractor said it was really bad and of course my dog went into heat so I gotta keep bending over to clean that up.
2) my mom is so annoying, I went to her house Tuesday cause DH had to work and I still couldnt lift Preston and every time she's have a cigarette, shed try and handle him! Really woman?! How many times have we been over it?? She even tried to pull a fast one on me "here smell my hand, it's fine" and she holds up her left hand. Bullshit mom I know your right handed so in like "give me the other hand" rolls her eyes and holds it up and I knew it! She didn't wash her hands again. How hard is it to just wash your hands after your cigarette?!?!
3) Iam also so sick of needing this pacifier. God forbid I leave the house without it by mistake. I know DH and I agreed Wed wait till he was older but he'll I'm trying again. Luckily nap #1 wasn't as bad as I thought cause he didn't have has and this is his easiest nap so it was about 10 min and crying/whining (no real tears though) then 15 min of on and off whining as he was drifting off and now he's asleep. I figure I will do this process on my own and if he gets bad gas I'll let him have it but if hes just whining, I won't cave.

Ok now I'm done whining

I need to vent about how stupid my job is. I went into labor at 33 weeks, they stopped it but clearly I couldn't go back work. (I was still 5cm dilated and spent two of the next four weeks in the hospital before I had him) almost exactly a month later I had him, and I previously decided to take 12 weeks off. This was not news to anyone as I told them all right away and told them all I was doing 12 weeks to have the summer off to avoid having two kids in daycare. I also have email documentation of all of it since apparently that was the only way my hr manager would answer me. They messed up my disability, then they messed up insurance for the baby, then they messed up all my vacation time and if that wasn't enough corporate emails me yesterday asking me why I have no hours??? Turns out my hr manager never processed my leave!! So they only saw my 4 weeks then 6 weeks I was able to use my disability. They assumed I had gone back to work in July, which I clearly didn't. So I call, no answer, email and she tells me I NEED TO SEND THE PAPERWORK?! Umm, isn't that YOUR job??? She doesn't answer my response back then emailed me at 4 this morning and says oh I'm so sorry I did it wrong and I will fix it! I can't even tell you how bad I wish I could tell them to piss off and stay home or get another job lol

I blew up at my DH last night. He fell asleep while doing one of the night feedings with LO last night after he had only eaten 2 oz (he eats 4 to 5). He hadn't burbed him nor changed him. DH has been having trouble getting him to eat durring his MOTN feeding and I could never understand why because Chase always does great with me so I got up durring this feeding to see how it was going. I know he's tired as am I but dude come on! When you only feed him 2 oz he wakes up hungry less then 2 hours later and he's screaming from gas pain! It screws his whole schedual up for the next day as well. I've never wanted to punch my DH in the junk so bad before!

After the one five hour stretch of sleep (that happened so early in the evening that I was awake for ALL of it) Jackie has been back to sleeping 2.5-3 hours the last 2 nights and it pains me to know she's capable of it and just not doing it.

Ugh that sucks. Preston did this to us by giving us mostly 6-7 hours stretches then suddenly went down to 4 for the past week.

I know there is another thread for this, but according to the wonder weeks app babies generally have a sleep regression right around the time that they go through their leaps, so that could account for the sleep pattern change...I am a newbie to the app and have been reading so (read too) much that I could have seen that elsewhere.

I think they wake more cause it's like a growth spurt and they wanna eat more. Sleep regression is more like waking for no reason and happens when they learn major skills like rolling, crawling and walking.

@AmberLiz99

did he get a new car or something? Lol.

One of the ways I was able to get Damien back on the breast was by greatly limiting bottle feedings to practically none. Well tonight right after putting him to bed, I hopped into the shower. During that time he started crying because he was hungry again. My husband opted to give him the bottle instead of getting me. Now I'm trying to do the following feeding and guess what, the breast is now no good again after sucking poorly for a few minutes (I couldn't even get a good latch). I hope it's just this feeding because he is about to leave on a golf weekend getaway and I'm so burned out that I don't want to do this breastfeeding battle alone.

I think it's sweet that he wanted to give me my "me time" in the shower but he knows how difficult this bottle/breast thing has been for me. I shouldn't complain but I can't help but be frustrated. We'll see how the next feeding goes...

Update: He's feeding just fine and I feel like an a@@ for complaining. My husband took care of our son in my absence and I'm grateful for that!

Going through the same thing all week. The longest stretch since Sunday has been 3 hours, with most nights only 2 between wakeups. I figure it's just part of a growth spurt and hope that that long stretch comes back!

Don't get me started

I might kill my husband by the time this move is over. We have a million things to do before we are all moved out on Wednesday and he had the nerve to ask if he could go out with the new homeowners tonight.
