    +1 WTF to DST. This is a FWP, and we don't have kids, but DST really screwed up our thermostat. It was too cold to get out of bed this morning because the therm thought we were an hour later. I guess I thought it would autocorrect like a phone or something.

    @failuretofly Yup same problem here! DS was up at 5:30 this morning.  He’s been going to bed at his normal time so he is just getting an hour less sleep. It’s messing up his naps too!  On Monday he napped from 2:30 until I woke him at 5:15.  And then he was cranky as hell but if I didn’t wake him he wouldn’t have slept at night.

    @failuretofly- sounds like our house. DD has recovered, but DS woke up at 4:50 yesterday and 5:30 today... at least we're moving in the right direction? Maybe?

    My WTF today is DD - she will really only wear dresses. In the spring and summer it's really no issue as I can find loads of cute short-sleeve dresses that she likes, but this week we're finally feeling fall and the 40's and she has one dress with sleeves, AND she's picky about her clothes now... greeeaaaattttt. Went on Carters, Old Navy and Gap in search of L/S dresses she approves of and she picked one. ONE!

    Winning is this fall weather and the hot cup of cinnamon hazelnut coffee I had this morning. Feels good to be in fall clothes and not sweating!

    WTF: Is it me or the responses have become a little more snarky as our hormonal selves are approaching the finish line? Nothing has been directed at me but I'm reading like "OMG if that was towards me I'd flip my shit!"

    And also WTF to DST...throwing my toddler's sleeping off, thus momma's as well!

    blueskies17 my superiors keep doing this, too!! Every meeting I end it with "Just an FYI - I have X,Y,Z to do and I have X time left. I am prioritizing as best I can, but blahblahblah." Apparently it's just falling on deaf ears because I just got assigned some more crap to do on top of my already large to do list.

    WINNING - pretty sure I am getting a new car this week. Not sure what exactly yet, but I am pretty pumped!

    WTF - I have been trying to drop hints to DH that we have a lot of shit to do in the house before the baby comes. We need to deep clean, like bad. We need to do some organizing. We need to do some purging. I wanted a bit of that to be done (by him) before my mom is here TOMORROW from out of town to visit and help decorate for Christmas. He informed me that he plans to work on the outside of the house today (his day off). Ummmm ok I mean but what are you going to do? Just mow? It's needed but not something we need done immediately. So annoyed. I don't want to nag but IT'S THE ONLY WAY THINGS GET DONE

    WTF to myself. my DS caught a cold at daycare that i promptly came down with. i am a sneezing MACHINE. and coughing. congestion. i sound like a frog and i think i've pulled every single remaining muscle in my abdomen and lower back. whomever was asking the other day about the best way to sneeze without injuring yourself - the answer is that there is no good way.  :s

    @flowerpower5838 UGH I am with you on the DH gripe... he always picks the most random projects that he thinks NEED to get done ASAP... when literally the rest of the house is falling apart, laundry & dishes are piling up and the floor hasn't been vacuumed or the toilets scrubbed... like maybe let's do all of the the above, THEN worry about rearranging the furniture in the basement we never use?!?!

    Winning: DH & I managed a nice anniversary dinner last night without screwing up my sugars, and had like 4 straight hours where neither of us snipped at the other and a mostly full night sleep.

    WTF: I'm stuck in the middle of a technical dispute at work because I seem to have become "the one who writes things" ... but I hate writing technical things when I'm not the actual subject matter expert on any part of it.  I'm literally transcribing things as best I can, based on other people's notes and notebooks, with a language barrier one side and technical barrier on the other, and then getting hammered by someone else who seems to be of the mistaken impression that I had anything to do with study design, execution, etc, beyond being "the one who writes things". 7 more work days after today! Then it's someone else's problem!

    EXACTLY! How many ways do I need to hint and/or outright state that the living room needs to be vacuumed so the Christmas tree can go up. I know the excuse is always "you have to be direct with men! tell them what you want!" Well that doesn't work either! Clearly a sore spot for me right now lol.

    @anewadventure I feel your pain. I caught my DD’s cold last week and I’m still suffering. So much mucus. Between my daughter and I we’ve gone through 5 boxes of tissues. I’ve been coughing so much Ive had a side stitch for days. Pregnancy and having a cold sucks!!!

    @kyrwyn I wish my DH's table-to-eye problem was just him missing dirt and chores. Mine trips over everything in the house, and instead of putting it away, complains that it's there "out of his vision" in the first place. I get it, you're 6'4", but you can still use your eyes!

    WTF Am I never going to sleep again?  I️ was up LITERALLY every 20 minutes last night. How am I️ supposed to survive the next 4 weeks?  This is my last chance for sleep probably forever, and I’m exhausted and i fucking can’t!!  GODDAMN YOU BLADDER AND HIPS. GODDAMN YOU TO HELL!!!
    Also WTF to apple for making it so my “I” turns into this weird thing I️. 
    Winning - I️ just had the best lunch ever from my favorite Puerto Rican place. Nap time!

    @babybison That sounds impossibly annoying. I'm pretty lucky with DH -- he's got flaws but he genuinely tries hard to pull his weight.  After 5 years of dog ownership, I've trained him to shuffle his feet in the hallway so I don't have to hear about stepping on dog toys (like at the beach when you want to avoid stingrays).   :D  Maybe a similar approach will work for your DH, so you don't have to hear about it if he trips?  It doesn't get anything picked up more, but I don't have to feign sympathy when someone steps on a half-mauled antler. ;)

    @flowerpower5838 @failuretofly My DH seems physically incapable of seeing anything that's not at table-to-eye height.  Cobwebs at the ceiling = invisible. Dirty toilets, floors, etc = invisible.  I wonder if it's some sort of super specialized DH adaptation to get out of housework.  :D
    Ugh yes... My DH cannot see bathroom dirt/mess... Like we went probably 3 or 4 weeks without cleaning them a while back (so gross, I was just so busy/tired/pregnant) and he literally only noticed that 1 of our 4 toilets was mildly gross, and thought the rest was fine... even though all the counters/sinks/showers were coated with soap scum/toothpaste residue/general grossness... He just... didn't notice... I don't get it. He only notices when I do clean because I put all the crap away that has accumulated on the counters and he can't find it anymore. Could care less that it's actually clean... MEN!

    Omg, so last week, one of my coworkers hit a bicyclist. Or rather, the bicyclist ended up running into the side of my coworker's car, but it was 100% coworker's fault.

    We work in a business park, so the roads aren't busy or "official" or whatever and don't have lines or anything. Coworker was apparently passing a semi (these roads are wide enough for two cars--and yeah, there aren't lines or anything, but it has to be an illegal pass) and there was a bicyclist turning into a driveway or something, and he ended up running into my coworker's car.

    People have been debating whether coworker is at fault. "Oh but you didn't actually hit him, he ran into you." Wellllll, coworker was illegally passing. And just now some coworkers were talking about it again and he was apparently speeding. This obnoxious coworker of ours was like, "You're allowed to speed to pass!" Um, actually, you're not. You're only supposed to pass someone if you can comfortably pass them without exceeding the speed limit (I know this law is constantly broken, but still).

    Seriously, people?! Just because you like someone does not mean they're in the right. He broke multiple laws and should just feel lucky that the guy suffered minimal injuries. Geez.

    @failuretofly Are we married to the same guy? I go through this All. The. Time. He just doesn't see the mess. Then I ask for his help while cleaning up and he goes "Why, what's left? It looks good!" Um... I haven't started cleaning yet. But then he really appreciates how good everything looks when it actually is clean. Completely baffles me.

    My DH can see the mess. Like, our stairs get dog hair drifts with unimaginable speed, and it bugs him more than me, BUT instead of getting a broom or vacuum to deal with it properly, he'll use his bare hands to collect up some of the dog hair, which takes forever and isn't as effective. So bizarre.

    @Amber_Waves my husband doesn't see bathroom messes but sees dust etc. Men are so strange.
