Oh what's that you say? You can't tell the difference between vegetable stock and almond milk when you poured it into your cereal this morning either? And you realized DH didn't put a bag in the garbage can until AFTER you dumped the wet cereal in it? Happy Monday. At least I don't have anymore work Mondays until September!

kissthesky32 · June 2017

I dropped and splattered not one, but two, separate yogurts on the kitchen floor this morning. And we're out of iced tea, so I need to wait for my little caffeine boost until I leave for work. I'm not happy about Monday.

NYTino24 · June 2017

@kissthesky32 Sounds similar to my morning!

I forgot to mention that someone asked me yesterday if I was "due any day now". It's gonna be a long ride between 18 and 40 weeks I guess...

ChattyKitty17 · June 2017

DD made a shirt for her daddy yesterday for a school party today and the puff paint that said 4 hours to dry is still wet this morning and all over my car

am+mommy · June 2017

I'm pretty sure I have a cold

mariposa_767s · June 2017

I'm not a BD hater...I'm not...but the ex made no contact with DS yesterday on Father's Day. What an ass. So DS was upset all day, understandably.

tsa208 · June 2017

I had terribly achy legs all night and didn't get any good sleep. Woke up to realize someone had broken into my garage. Then during breakfast, the husband said something completely rational and not intended to hurt my feelings, but it did hurt my feelings and made me cry. A big hormonal, ugly cry.

@mariposa_767s
I'm so sorry your DS has to go through that! I finally told my son's bio father off in January and haven't heard from him since. He would call every 3 or 4 months and maybe come see him once a year. I told him that's not fair to DS and it's confusing to him to have somebody he doesn't even really know come waltzing in calling himself daddy when he sees my fiance as his daddy. Trust me, my son is way better off without that man and his issues in his life.

mariposa_767s · June 2017

@amber0529 I texted him today and he said he's coming to DS's birthday party this weekend. It's just so frustrating and inconsistent. I do wish he'd either be there or go away. The roller coaster is so hard for a 6yr old.

Edited to add that DS deflects some of his anger for his dad toward SO sometimes but he doesn't understand what he's doing. I know he loves SO, but he's conflicted. He's mad that SO isn't his dad and he's mad that his dad isn't there for him. Luckily SO is very patient and understanding.

cwalker042 · June 2017

I have to drive 4.5 hours with my 2 year old all by myself today. I'm trying to time it where he will nap most of the way. I can't leave until after my OB appt that's at 3:30 today. I'm hoping the drive goes smoothly!

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

@mariposa_767s that breaks my heart to read. So glad your SO is understanding and patient so your DS is able to go through all of his feelings. Poor little guy

jess0211 · June 2017

I have to do 2 audits this week and I don't wanna...

Also, why does this LO want me to eat constantly?! Seriously.

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

@mariposa_767s I'm so sorry. I really hope he can get it together consistently for DS.

I feel your pain. I feel like a hobbit. I literally eat breakfast, 2nd breakfast, lunch, 2nd lunch, and so on.

liz4382 · June 2017

I eat alll the time and I'm never full! I figure, who am I to deprive the baby?

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

Coworker who refuses to use the search function in Outlook. I hate you.

zigzag8412 · June 2017

DH woke up with a 101 fever yesterday morning throwing me into the last minute responsibility of getting DD ready for church and taking her with me early to tech team (plus it was my week to bring breakfast) so yesterday was 100% exhausting and poor DH spent his 1st Father's Day in bed. This combined with the fact I gave my two weeks notice Friday makes me 100% over this Monday as there is not an ounce of me that has any desire to be at work today.
Brights side? I'm starting a new job that I'm simultaneously psyched and terrified about, my current employer is offering me COBRA (thank you, Lord!) and I finished a personal project (pinterest) for the first time in forever last night! I always do projects for others and never manage to finish the ones I start for myself so I'm very excited and definitely in the nesting/organizing for baby mode!

This sounds horrible!! I'd probably keep him up til 3:30, but then he'd nap so long that he'd be up til midnight:/

MaximumEffort · June 2017

@mariposa_767s sorry your DS and you are going through this. My DD's BD is about the same, he lives in another country but when he is near to us he doesn't visit, he tries to facetime once in a blue moon. He has never financially supported DD or been consistent so I don't go out of my way anymore to get him involved. He knows when her birthday is, I don't need to remind him. I only make sure not to bad mouth him in front of her because she will grow up knowing she will always be part him. His mom is the one who asks for is to call, it irks me when then reason is Fathers Day. Umm...nooo, I won't be sending anything deadbeats don't get anything.
DH is dad now and he has been her father figure since she was 3, before that my dad was the strong male figure.

bcashaw · June 2017

@mariposa_767s I'm sorry for your DS that honestly reeks. I'm happy for him that your SO is so great and patient with him, step parenting is hard.

FD came home from 3 nights with bioparents. It makes me so sad that she won't have this quality of life anymore. I just finishe'd singing her to sleep because she wouldn't go down for her nap, usually she goes down no problem but she's all out of sorts right now.

Co-worker casually asking me on Friday afternoon to get create a PDF compilation of everything I've designed for her in the last 6 months. By Monday.

When people think I can magically do a lot of work in an hour:

kissthesky32 · June 2017

@britduhr Nope. My answer would be nope. I'll start working on it Monday though.

Do we have the same coworker??

jess0211 · June 2017

It's storming so bad! Rain, thunder, lightening... just in time for commute which will be at least 2 hrs in this. And I forgot my umbrella so I am drenched.

That is heading here in the next couple hours. I'm just really, really hoping we don't lose power

am+mommy · June 2017

Ohhh I miss rain. @jess0211 it's 111 here today, want to trade?

lala123321567789 · June 2017

The bump is eating the post I've had to re write twice already and I am so exhausted and grumpy at my phone now that I GIVE UP!

Exactly this. My 6.5yo has been awful to my FI lately because he's angry at/about my ex. It sucks, and it kills FI who is amazing to him.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

I am very grumpy about something and I know I'm being irrational but I would like an apology and I feel like finding out the gender today has been ruined and now I don't even want to look. SOMETIMES JUST LET THE PREGNANT LADY WIN.

08-16-08jms · June 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge omigosh you HAVE to look!!! It's killing me! Lol

ElizabethSchuyler · June 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge Please accept my apology. While I do not know why you are mad, you're right and you win. Now let's look at that paper.

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

@ElizabethSchuyler you made me laugh enough that I got over it/gave person who made me grumpy the answer to ungrumpifying me.

ArtificialRed · June 2017

I was teased with an awesome sounding school for DS this afternoon and she did disclose it was a religious school. So I dove in with the research and it's like SUPER DUPER RELIGIOUS. And I am super duper NOT religious. (And at this risk of assuming where I shouldn't, based on their photo, 100% of the faculty is the same race and 95% the same gender. Having grown up with next to no diversity in my schools, I want to avoid that for DS.)

jess0211 · June 2017

@DuchessOfCambridge I am apologizing on behalf of whomever wronged you so we can find out if you're having a girl or boy!

asamapmaker · June 2017

Someone totally said to me "August, right?" No sir, try November... I wanted to say something snarky but didn't

jess0211 · June 2017

@asamapmaker you should have, no one would have blamed you!

This somehow makes me feel better for how terribly I am sometimes treated.

@DuchessOfCambridge I'm dying to know who/what pissed you off. Slowly making my way to Monday bitch fest so maybe I'll find out soon.

ETA: wtf I am in Monday bitchfest. What happened to make you angry!?!?!!

DuchessOfCambridge · June 2017

@bcashaw it was a really stupid "argument" with DH. He didn't actually do anything wrong, I was overreacting over something and then I got ragey because I am my mother's daughter

It comes out more when I'm stressed about something unrelated but I'm trying to reign it in. I didn't like growing up in a household with yelling, so I don't want my kids to have to. Not abusive yelling, just general mom yelling, but it would put me on edge sometimes. On the bright side, I haven't gotten ragey in like two months! Progress.

ETA I feel like I need to channel my inner @MississippiCatfish, I picture her being very chill and not yelling lol
