What's your twat-waffle today?

zizzabell523 · October 2017

DD falls asleep playing with my hair. Some nights I fall asleep with her. Usually, DH wakes me up when he goes to bed. Last night, didn't happen. I woke up at 1am to find him snoring in our bed and I still had to shower brush my teeth, etc., which woke me up and I had trouble falling back asleep. This is coming from an exhausted pigeon (neither early bird nor night owl). I need my sleep. I try to be in bed around 10 and if I had my way, I'd wake up around 9. So, I'm running on fumes today. I caught myself nodding off driving DD to her dentist appointment this morning. Having 2 kids is going to be .... interesting .... for my sleep needs!

Everyone. Everyone is a tw today. So maybe that means I'm probably the tw??
My friends that I talk to every day that rarely, if ever, upset me, pissed me off today over a playdate schedule. So you know, reallllll important stuff.
Fil is a tw for another scheduling conflict that, because of my anxiety and worries, could keep me and DH from taking the weekend away as planned.
DH is a tw for not just telling fil the timing we set and the timing they're using are 2 different things.
My stove is a tw for burning the end of one of ours spoons while I cooked lunch and cleaned the playroom simultaneous.
The floor is a tw for tripping my son last night, giving him a never ending bloody nose that is now all bruised up and sore today.

I think I may require a nap.

DH and BIL. BIL is trying pawn off this crappy ass Bronco on us as a “project” for DH and so MIL will stop yelling at him to get rid of it because it’s in their driveway. I don’t want it in my driveway either, or for it to become the time and money suck that I’m sure it will be. We also have to go have dinner over there tonight and I am tired thinking about it because I know MIL will comment on how I look, feel, etc and I just don’t want to hear it. She’s trying to look for signs that this baby is a girl. She has two boys and all grandsons and this is the last baby for us, so it’s “her last chance for a girl”.

I broke the news about being pregnant to one of my best friends today. Her responses were as follows: "Was this planned?" and "That'll be tough to juggle everything."

The cashier at the grocery store who commented on all the pumpkin flavored things I bought. She said, "are you doing a pumpkin project or something?"

My work is the TW today, or this week really. I think I complained about this before.

I've been taking the first week of October as vacation since I basically started 5 years ago to volunteer and attend a local festival. I was promoted last spring and took over a beginning of month process that apparently means I can't take even a day off after the 1st until this is done. Then, when I try to get working on it, the very first step can't be completed because someone in IT didn't do their job. And on top of that, a whole ton of other tasks are being dumped on me by my boss who agreed already that if I can get the project done, I can take time off later this week. Why is everyone conspiring against me?!?!

It has to go to my husband today. He's a SAHD and I know how hard it is and how hard he works and that he needs a break sometimes. But I work from home two days a week and he treats those days as his off days. So I'm over here trying to get work done while keeping the baby happy, keeping the dogs happy, and trying not to throw up every 10 seconds. I love being able to be home twice a week but they are by far my hardest days.

Oh girl I feel you on this one. I work from home too and its taken SO LONG to establish boundaries in this regard, and even still sometimes its like they forget you, I dunno, ACTUALLY HAVE TO WORK. You don't see me getting time or days off! Not cool!

fraufarbissina · October 2017

@mrsmtothek Gah yes! My "breaks" from work are spent taking care of the baby. I don't wanna complain because I fought really hard to be able to work from home so that I can be with her more. But when I see my husband sneak away to take a nap in the middle of the day...

ETA because it was my first time GIFing

I work from home as well and try to do the bulk of my stuff when my husband is off 2 days a week. WHY is his to do list always 8392729 miles long of crap that doesn't matter when I say I need to work?!?!

Um....yah, that sucks. Sorry. My husband is thinking about doing the SAHD thing for a year before going back to work. I'm hesitant because I'm afraid he will throw everything on me right when I get home instead of doing things together.

My toddler. DH has parent teacher conferences tonight and I'm solo parenting after a thrilling day of morning sickness. I'm dreading what the third trimester will bring with even more fatigue and pain and a 3 year old at that point. I really did not want to go outside, but I have lost my will and just want to sit, so here we are.

My second TW is Jeff Lewis's baby on Bravo's Flipping Out. I am having some hardcore amxiousness after hearing that child scream like a banshee and how high needs she is, I'm terrified.

I will add my work and select coworkera to the tw list today. I have been running a 5 week long report, reporting once a week and sending it out to the same distribution list. I got in this morning to an email from my director asking me to reformat the body of my email to the "standard".... Umm, where was this direction in week 1 when you got the first report, and second what is this "standard"? Then it continued from there. It felt like today was another Monday. Hoping for a better day tomorrow, then I end the week with 2 wfh days, and also have an SO who likes to pretend they are my days off and I have to do a million things plus work.

I have one co-worker in particular. She is one of my clerks in the children's section who does 1 storytime a week. Somehow, she needs 5 hours to plan her storytime EVERY WEEK! Woman, you have been doing this for 11 years! It is not that difficult.

Also, the tickers that NEVER work for me.

fraufarbissina · October 2017

@justsuzie yeah my husband hands me the baby literally the second I walk in the door. But then he makes dinner and does the dishes and all that so it works for us. It took a while to get a good balance and we are still working on it. The plan is for him to go back to work and I'll stay home once baby 2 comes. In the meantime it's so sweet that he has this special time with his daughter.

Parents of toddlers at a library toddler time. It's about 50-75 TODDLERS with ONE librarian in a large room. Does this mean you send your 2 year old in and sit in the back and talk w your friends???? No. No the f it doesn't. Hugs reach, folks. Yep, so now your kid is the one standing in front of the teacher/librarian blocking all the other 2 year olds' view bc they are a special snowflake.... no. They are not. Oh, and 1 shaker means 1. Not 5. Seriously?! Thank goodness our librarian is a badass and totally stopped group to shout out "whose child is this?" regarding the before-mentioned snowflake toddler and then started pointing at all the mothers sitting/standing by themselves "is she yours?" I love that woman.
