My DS is today... he’s been getting scared of “noises” and things in his room and getting up. Today it was before 5 am and DH let him lay down on the couch which is right outside our bedroom door. He then proceeded to keep me up by humming to himself and flopping around.
I get that kids get scared and need comfort. I don’t wanna seem like a terrible mom for being irritated but we both don’t do well without sleep and now I’m grouchy.
Co-workers or other people that say “I knew you were pregnant, I just had a feeling.” I call BS. People always are nosey and if you are around “that” age and maybe your child is old enough where it is “usual” to have a baby again...they just wait for the announcement. Really...I have been pregnant four times in 2017. Did ya know those other times...no. Maybe I am just cranking this morning too!
Winter for me....seriously! I selfishly started this and then the propane people got here so didn't get to post! Last night i smelled propane downstairs but i have a weird nose and i think i smell gas all the time, lol, so I sent DH to check. He smelled it to, the pilot light in the furnace wasn't lighting. He it it, but it only worked for a bit. I smelled gas this mornign so called the techs and they said we likely didn't have enough propane for it to kick back on, which i didn't think of since I cooked last night with propane and i could smell it. Anyway, i went and checked the gauge and she was right! We only had one tank at 20% the other was totally empty. Called propane, they delivered in 45 minutes, which was amazing. So all in all, everything is worked out and fine, but a lot to deal with early! And I had to take a tepid shower (I take mine almost too hot) and its like, 54 in the house so it has some warming to do.
@chaser61 I was totally one of those coworkers who figured it out and said it out loud based on people leaving for the doc constantly, lol. I should have kept my mouth shut i know!
@hillbillywife its still hard that you didn't get to sleep regardless of the reason!
I’m the twatwaffle today.. DS told me he needed to go potty so I helped him unzip his feety pajamas but guys.. I CAUGHT HIS PENIS IN THE ZIPPER. This poor kid.
@acunamatada I definitely did this at least once to DS when he was little, and he's done it to himself. He refuses to wear undies to bed, so his fault. He's 7 now, he knows better.
@acunamatada oh great, I'm probably going to do that a lot! @hillbillywife no sleep is not good for anyone across the board @SmashJam what a pain... I would not know what do do with a furnace so I'm glad at least things got resolved @hayhay93 I'm always a wreck before appointments! In sure it will be ok @chaser61 I've had some people telling me that too although they knew we were trying and I literally turned down drinks pretty strongly- I know it can be annoying
My TW unfortunately goes to DH. For the 3rd time in 4 days he forgot to either shut off his phone or put it in silent mode. He has a group chat with his Texas friends and they inevitably text EARLY because they are 2 hrs ahead. Third night this woke me, and this past night it was 4am!!! And now I'm up with the alarm and of course he is still sleeping...bitchy bitchy bitchy today!
Facebook commentors. The idiocy seems especially high today. I eyerolled several anti-vacc comments and said so, and now I'm a pot-stirring sh*t-starter who's a big meanie head to a bunch of people who can't spell. And said a political statement in sarcasm in response to a friend's post who shares my views, and apparently she has a huge family who disagrees with her and they're all aimed at me now. If I hear one more "what exactly is your point" when I've blatantly stated my point several times I'm gonna start laughing hysterically. The self-righteous indignation of the dim-witted is truly staggering. I'm done with social media for the day.
My TW is myself.... forgive me J18 for I have been MIA for over a month... I’ve been lurking but i got way behind and couldn’t figure out how to jump in and catch up again!
May i come back please???
@acunamatada We are trying to potty train now... I’m sure i will do that as well!
@christycalifornia don’t even get me started on those ant-vaxxers. You can’t argue with ignorance...
My appetite....i brought some yummy leftover carne asada for lunch, but then I remembered that there is a Costco across the street (in dangerous walking distance). And now I want a combo pizza instead. I hated pizza with DS and still wasn't a big fan after birth. Its not even 11am and I am already hungry for lunch!
@wildtot i LOVE Costco pizza. I brought a yoghurt and fruit for breakfast but realized i was teaching near an illegal Pete’s so i stopped and got a breakfast burrito.
Everyone and everything. My son got sick around New Years, the kind of hacking cough you just hear it the first time and know you are doomed, the kind that will bring everyone down one by one like dominos...I of course got sick, then my 74 year old grandmother who we help take care of got sick and despite all the medicines didn't get better so I had to be the one to take her to the emergency room with every pneumonia and flu infested person in this city. They had no beds upstairs so we had to spend 12 hours (7P-7A) in the emergency room. I therefor missed dinner, got zero sleep, had no water, and despite wearing a mask the whole time now feel so completely run down I feel like I'm relapsing. I also was the only one who could go fill her prescriptions since my husband had to work. I about collapsed in the 4 people deep long line for the pharmacy. Special shoutout to the man who was behind me and cut me off when I went down the wrong aisle to get to the window!!!
My husband had to stay home with our son, who was very confused why everyone was gone and woke up multiple times asking where we were, the dogs barked the whole night and so my husband didn't get rest...he is cranky...and I am not here for any of it. (Insert clap emojis between each word)
@BrittG13 That sounds like an awful time had by all and I’m so sorry you’re going through that. I hope your grandma is okay and that you’re feeling better soon.
Mmm pizza. Wasn't wanting pizza before, but now...must have pizza.
Mine is the person who scheduled my appt a month ago on MLK Day - I alerted her that it was a holiday, but she said the practitioner would be in then. Shocker, she's not and I had to reschedule, with very, very few options, and have to trek to a different office for the appt because of availability.
Thanks ladies for not calling me out on being grouchy lol. Hopefully better sleep tonight!
@chaser61 oops.. that was totally me.. like this morning. To be honest it’s probably mostly because I knew it was about “time” lol. I’ll try to refrain from doing that again. You never know if someone has had a MC that you didn’t know about.
I don't know who the real TW is, but I about lost it this morning after I made a breakfast smoothie, poured it in my Yeti and realized we had no straws.
TW our home lender. We closed and moved into our home this past April. We had the worst experience with out lender and our builders. I should be out of the woods from problems you'd think but no! I just got an email asking to sign documents that should have been signed at closing. It almost seems fishy. The email also looks super unprofessional. Now I have to call management to see WTH is going on.
@moguippy I don't think we have one. We got a new build and didn't go through a typical real estate person. But I am certainly escalating this. We had so many issues with our home (quality of work completed) that we are just getting that fixed and completed. Trying to catch it all before warranty expires.
@wildtot i hope you get things with your house figured out. I second what another poster said to have a lawyer check it out. With the furnace thing this morning i threatened to walk down the street and light the real estate agent's house on fire, I had such a bad experience buying this one!
Men...Look I get it, being sick sucks. However, you can take medications (99% of the time) to feel/get better. Please, do not complain about how craptastic you feel. Try being pregnant AND being sick, asshats! You will not get any sympathy from this chic.

My DH knows better than to utter the words “I’m tired” while I’m pregnant. 4th go round he’s finally learned.

It takes that long to train them! Oh my! This is our second and my DH has done a pretty good job since I’ve been sick, but he was tired and went to bed at 8:30 today!
My bf says things like “It’s pregnancy, not cancer.” when I complain about being tired lol... He tries to say that he is just as tired and just as sick. HA. @zombiehoohaa

Yeah, he’s my every day Twatwaffle. But he’s been pretty nice lately since he knows I’m leaving next month and is scared I won’t come back lol. @AlyLynn07@hillbillywife
So I know this is from Tuesday but I really need to use it today. My dog is a huge TW today. DS2 woke me up about 430am this morning, asking me to cover him up. As i walked into the hallway, i thought i smelled something funny. I cover him up and walk back into the hallway then decide to walk downstairs to see whats up. Huge piles of dog diarrhea on the carpet. He was nice enough to put one pile on the hardwood dining room floor at least. So, i go upstairs to wake dh to help me because it needs cleaned up like now. We get the floor cleaned and spot scrubbed for the moment and i realize its 530....my alarm is set to go off in 45 mins. So i decide to lay back down to rest. Big mistake. Now I am at work with a horrible headache, tired and crabby. Id ask to go home early but i am already leaving early to go have my 1hr glucose test and bloodwork done. Yay! I give up today lol

@hayhay93 I wish my boyfriend would utter those words to me. Me and him would be duking it out. Growing a baby is TIRING. I was super tired for what seemed to be no reason last night. I couldn't do anything.

ANG = 08/03/2009 BEC = 07/03/2018 New Thing = EDD 02-26/2021
I definitely had words with him for that statement lol. He doesn’t give up though, if I even say I have a headache, he says “so do I, I did blah blah blah today while you rested” lol. I’m like... AND?????
I can't complain to my husband because he is a one upper and it just pisses me off. Even when I was 2 weeks overdue on my last pregnancy, he would one up me if I dared to complain. I would kill to be able to take a nap. However between watching my kid all day, cooking dinner, and working my job afterwards, there is no time for rest
That’s exactly how my bf is. A total one upper. I tried to tell him that it bothers me when he one ups me but he said that I’m just not appreciative of the hard work he does for me and I don’t realize that he’s just as tired and just as in pain as I am. I just give up. I don’t think he will ever understand. @cseley321
@hayhay93@cseley321 DH and I have an understanding, if one of us complains first about an ailment, the other is NOT ALLOWED to say "so do I" or "me too." Only one person at a time may get attention for not feeling well.
@busymommy23 Ugh so sorry about the dog poo. That's such a terrible way to start the day.
Re: Twatwaffle Tuesday 1/9
I get that kids get scared and need comfort. I don’t wanna seem like a terrible mom for being irritated but we both don’t do well without sleep and now I’m grouchy.
So I guess I’m a twat too.
