Petty Problem Saturday

sourlemon · September 2016

What petty problems are bringing you down today?

sourlemon · September 2016

We are having our master bathroom remodeled. Today the tile was supposed to go down. Tile setter opened the boxes and the small tiles are not the same shade as the big tiles. Nothing is gonna happen now until Monday and we may need to change the design of the floor and it won't match the rest of the house. Mainly...this project was supposed to be 4 weeks total and now we are headed into week 7 with no end in sight.

I want my toilet back in the master so I don't have to walk to the other side of the house 5 times a night.

ea301 · September 2016

@sourlemon ugh. That is so annoying... We had the same thing happen with our kitchen a couple years ago - it took forever to finish for stupid little things like that. I can't imagine being without my toilet right now though. Have you pressed the contractor to get things done quicker? Play that crazy pregnant lady card!!

sourlemon · September 2016

Yeah I've done everything I can to press the issue. But it just seems like there's one problem after another. Some should have not happened but some are just bad luck...like this tile thing. The boxes say they are the same...but they were manufactured a few months apart and the big ones are way darker than the small, even though they are "the same".

princesslockness · September 2016

@sourlemon I'm sorry. Having a toilet on the correct side of the house should be a priority for the contractor.

My petty problem is H has the entire weekend off, instead of just tomorrow. So he is coming to see L and I. He was supposed to be here at 10 am. Turns out he slept in 3.5 hrs and won't be here for another hour or so. I want my husband NOW.

My petty problem is I took the glucose test this morning and haven't felt right since. We went to a little town fair but didn't stay long. I want to be outside enjoying the most gorgeous weather of the year instead of laying around watching baseball!

slartybartfast · September 2016

I was supposed to climb this morning with a friend. It feels like a thing that the rest of my week physically depends on. She canceled on me last minute. I did cry. I did.

dmontgo · September 2016

Petty problem is that I woke up so tired that I didn't think I'd be able to go out. I ended up taking an hour-long nap, finally went out to one store, and then immediately regretted it because it was a grand-opening. The store was so packed that there weren't even carts left. I would have left, but I saw a very soft grey hoodie that I wanted to wear coming home from the hospital. There were only 2 left. So I grabbed it and waited in line for 30 minutes.

I wanted to go to more stores, but the crowd wore me out. So now I'm home, all dressed and looking hot with my hair and makeup done, but have no desire to do anything. DH is out selling some models, so he can't drive me anywhere right now anyway. I just feel like this is a wasted Saturday and I look too fabulous for that kind of nonsense.

kattyc-2 · September 2016

I hate that my boobs touch my bump if I don't have perfect posture when I'm sitting. Never thought I would miss my small boobs. I also hate autocorrect because it makes mobile bumping take 3x longer than it should.

sourlemon · September 2016

There's a mosquito in my house. I can't get off the couch to kill it. I just know it's gonna bite me.

Austenista · September 2016

I wanted to go to the Cheesecake Factory for lunch. Everyone else wanted Jason's Deli I was mad about it all the way there, the entire time I ate my meal, and then for a while after that. I knew I was being a brat, but I couldn't seem to care. All I could think about was that I was going to take myself for a lunch date to the CF and to see Bridget Jones's Baby this week when I can do what I want. See? Such a brat.

swhiddon33 · September 2016

I REALLY want a chocolate milkshake but our area is dealing with an apparent gas shortage and it feels ridiculous to use gas to satisfy this completely unhealthy craving.

cayaylonglegs · September 2016

The furniture store delivered the wrong dresser for the nursery today and I am having a full on meltdown. We've already waited two weeks and who knows how long it will take to get corrected but I just want this baby's room finished.

I probably wouldn't be nearly as mad if I wasn't a week into this GD diet and can't have anything that I am craving. DH thinks I am being 'difficult to be around' right now and he's probably right but I give zero fux.

Lisa3379 · September 2016

I just went to Costco. On a weekend. Clearly prego brain took over, because that was an absolutely idiotic thing to do. Now I need the rest of the afternoon to recover.

sourlemon · September 2016

Oh no @cayaylonglegs! I'd be having a meltdown too.

SmashJam · September 2016

@Austenista at the risk of being annoying because I'm like all the other people who out voted you...holy crap I just realized I miss Jasons Deli. I used to live outside DC and the school I worked at ordered Jasons Deli every Friday. Yum.

Austenista · September 2016

@SmashJam *growls*

I just am not the one tonight. Made everyone dinner, I wasn't hungry, didn't mind. But I've talked and spent time and visited and gone to all the stores today. I've retreated to the bedroom for peace because I keep getting asked "what's wrong?" and "are you sure you're not hungry?" StepMIL is playing Dolly Parton and Willie Nelson loudly from her phone.

Batteries are dead, need my daily quiet time, let me just recharge in peace. No, nothing's wrong. Yes, I'm sure I'm not hungry. No, I do not want that Willie Nelson song stuck in my head.

DiFazette · September 2016

I want another piece of lemon tart but I'm full. Why is life so hard?

phoenix870509 · September 2016

I wanted Cici's Alfredo pizza. Like seriously, I could taste it and everything. Go to Cici's and there is no where to sit and a line out the door, plus 3 (yes 3!) birthday parties (one walked in behind us). Needless to say I did not get my Alfredo pizza. *cries*

cgss11 · September 2016

I didn't remember to change our address on our registry when we moved. Just got a call from our old landlord and our travel system was delivered there. Thankfully, we just moved 30 minutes away so I went and got it. But of course I checked and a few other things had been bought now so I'll have to go back and get that stuff.

But yay for getting the travel system I guess.

Christinaruth74 · September 2016

@sourlemon that's super frustrating. My H is a carpenter and has stories similar to that all the time.. it can be so disappointing on both ends. He is currently working on projects for me and we have hit numerous bumps which has delayed the process even more, so I totally get it. No one wants to pay to live inconvenienced for an extended period of time. #FWP

Mine is.. I've been a little MIA lately because ive just felt so crummy. The vomiting had ramped up along with the persistent nausea. I called my OBs office because it's been really debilitating as of late and they suggested I keep watch for signs that this is a viral thing running its course. Sure enough, who's in bed with a fever tonight? This guy.

Im just miserable. I'm thankful that tomorrow I can rest, but my H starts a new job on Monday so if I'm not well by then it's just going to be a long day of tv for the toddler. Wah.

Ok, I'm done.

sourlemon · September 2016

@Christinaruth74 tummy bugs are the worst, especially with toddlers! Feel better soon.

tinattt23 · September 2016

I have to go to ikea today. I hate it. It's always a zoo. And I'm extra mad because it's to replace a peice of furniture that broke during our move. So I shouldn't even have to go. But I can't finish unpacking until I have my bookshelves to fill. And I want to be done unpacking. Such is life.

sourlemon · September 2016

@tinattt23 how can you hate ikea? I love it! But I've only been 3 times in my life so it's still "new and awesome" to me.

tinattt23 · September 2016

@sourlemon It's a love hate relationship. I love everything in ikea. I hate everyone in ikea.

PensiveCrayon · September 2016

@tinattt23 That is the most perfect way to put it!

maamawaabangi · September 2016

My sunglasses broke!

KateH1216 · September 2016

I could put this in the why am I crying thread as well...We went to hang new blinds we had ordered for our 16 year old and the nursery. Come to find out that I ordered them wrong. So now the right ones won't get here for another 2 weeks.

SarahF8611 · September 2016

My friends threw me a surprise sprinkle this weekend and now I have to organize all the babies clothes but I haven't switched my toddler's room out yet. Blahhhhhh.

ea301 · September 2016

Delayed and petty, but this has been on my mind this morning...

I haven't told everyone about my pregnancy for a bunch of reasons (job hunting primarily but also nunya bizness type stuff) and haven't shared publicly on social media. Recently I got a Facebook notification from an old friend (one of my BFFs from high school) saying she misses me and we need to get lunch ASAP. Since she has a demanding job and I am currently unemployed, I said she should just name the place and time and I'd be there. No response. So I repeated that to her in a private message, along with a spoiler alert sonogram photo so she wouldn't be surprised to see my current baby bump. No response. She's super active on Facebook and I know she saw it. I shouldn't be surprised but I would have at least expected a "congratulations!" or something...?

The same thing happened with an old college friend. Both of them have kids of their own, so I don't know why they wouldn't be happy for me. Makes me wonder why I even bother sharing good news privately if it's just going to be ignored. And I feel really silly for caring. Stupid social media.

ashleygorokhovsky · September 2016

@ea301 did she post the original message on your wall or privately? It's possible she isnt able to see private messages (you have to agree to Facebook messenger for that). Just a thought... Maybe she isn't being insensitive!

fauxpa-2 · September 2016

@ea301 For whatever reason I miss a lot of messages that are sent privately through facebook. I just never get a notification, and sometimes it is sent to a weird box so I never see it until months later when I just happen to look around. I agree with @ashleygorokhovsky that there is a very good chance she just didn't get the message. I'm pretty sure facebook now says on the message if they saw it or not, so you may double check. If it doesn't say "seen at" and a time they haven't read it yet.

ea301 · September 2016

@ashleygorokhovsky @Fauxpa The original message was a photo comment, I think... I know she uses Messenger - we've chatted there before - but you're right, it's possible that she hasn't actually seen the message. This was 10 days ago though... so, I dunno? I will try texting to see what happens...

The college friend has definitely read the message - we were chatting back and forth and she stopped responding when I mentioned being pregnant. :[

My dad was going to come over yesterday to help with some small projects (moving heavy furniture and putting together a bed that he originally built). He had a conference on our side of the state and was going to stay at our house to avoid a 3 hour drive this morning. Original discussion, he was going to be heading over around 4/5 pm. Then when I followed up with him at the end of last week, he was going to be over in time for dinner (by 7:00). In reality, he didn't get there until 8:45 pm. Needless to say, no projects got done. Now I am exhausted on a Monday morning because I stayed up late (9:30 is SUPER late for this preggo lady) and nothing got accomplished. This is the third time in the last month that he has either bailed on plans with me, or had to change them last minute due to events with his new wife. I've done a lot of petty crying over it.

yellingbanana · September 2016

We had relatives over, a family of 5, for the weekend. The kids were all sleeping in sleeping bags in the living room. At 1:00 am, my DD 2 threw up all over herself, the sleeping bag, and the carpet. I felt so bad for her, but it sucked giving her a shower and quietly cleaning barf in the middle of the night.

No, this is not a petty problem. This sucks. You have every right to complain to everyone you see today about this. Yuck. Kid puke is the worst.
