It's Monday. How do we feel about that? What have you been dying to complain about all weekend? Vents, rants, screaming- it's all welcome here.

stothi · February 2018

I know I'm a broken record but damn it all, I'm so tired!!!!! It's freaking depressing. And if I could stop coughing till I puke, that would be great.

Woke up to bathroom sink clogged (thanks husband), son took 45 min to eat breakfast, and we were in a rush. I start car early to defrost and hopefully not have to scrape windows, but it shut off apparently, and while I was doing that my son got into our house plants, one of which is just tiny plant in water-which went all over the dining room. Nothing all that major, but then he pooped and I just freaking wanted to get out the door on time!

My throat is starting to hurt. I do not want to get sick. I do not want to get strep.

@prpl11butterfly Me too! And we can’t take the good drugs! Wahhhhhh. Hoping it’s minor for the both of us.

cbobell2009 · February 2018

@stothi YES!!!! I can barely keep my eyes open today. I've done absolutely nothing at work besides browse buzzfeed and the bump.

prpl11butterfly · February 2018

@Wishilivedinflorida FC for both of us. Spring and therefore end of sick season is so so close....

Jyoung327 · February 2018

agreeing with @stothi and @cbobell2009 just sitting here in between clients and hit with a wall of utter exhaustion. The last 2 or so weeks DH and I have been going to bed shortly after we put DS down at 7ish. Like, go to work, come home do dinner madness, get baby ready for bed, and then bed ourselves. Im literally accomplishing NOTHING around my house or with my paperwork for work ....getting so far behind and honestly I dont see an end in sight

stothi · February 2018

@Jyoung327 I go straight to bed the minute I get my toddler down, too. Usually I stay up at least 2-3 hours after he goes to bed. Nope. Not anymore. I don't clean, I don't tidy up, I don't watch TV, I just go straight to bed.

ble1 · February 2018

@stothi @cbobell2009 @Jyoung327 same here. Like a week ago dh begged me to go to the grocery store and offered to come along(our house was pretty much out of every necessity). On a positive note I'm starting to notice it is waning down a little, hopefully it'll be over soon

arbell615 · February 2018

Yes to everyone saying they’re beyond tired. I’ve been feeling so bad for my DD lately, she wants to play with me and I just want to sleep and sleep. Current status: laying on the couch under blankets. I have to pee. But not bad enough to make it worth moving yet..........

jumpy57 · February 2018

It's at the point where I need to address laundry mountain. DH is running out of things to wear. He helps me out tons so I should probably at least attempt laundry

jhjocelyn · February 2018

Dd’s preschool teacher mentioned dd wasn’t very responsive when being told to clean up, and had to be told repeatedly... dd is the only kid during her school-time(modified do to her health needs). It must have been pretty bad if it was worth mentioning. And a direct result of me not giving a crap around here lately... can’t wait till I can confess to couch-parenting.

atj13ne · February 2018

The exhaustion paired with the constant nausea = an easily annoyed me! With clients, with kids, and of course poor DH gets the wrath every time i hear him chew or if that particular day the smell of cologne bothers me... woof... so ready to be done with tri #1

xxkberxx · February 2018

I just got over a sinus infection this past Thursday and now I’m sick with comething else (which includes a sore throat like others have mentioned). I’m so tired of being sick and tired! Glad to know there’s others to complain with. Hopefully we all start to feel better soon as we inch closer to the second trimester

edit: spelling

magnolia209 · February 2018

I am also so tired and so cranky! The crankiness just started this weekend. I cried because I wanted to wear socks but the only pants that fit me are capris that would look ridiculous with socks. That was yesterday. Today, I’m on the bus on the way home from work and the guy behind me is watching a show on his phone with the volume up and no headphones. And I feel a murderous rage building!!! I’m posting this instead of saying something nasty to him. Thanks for the place to moan!!!

ashh2018 · February 2018

I finally got over my cold last week. I hope you all avoid the colds, and if you’ve got it, feel better soon!! It was so frustrating to not be able to take anything. I did have to take Tylenol bc I had a fever, but oh man I would have killed for DayQuil/NyQuil. Just still tired and battling headaches, but I really can’t complain. I got a little silly and over dramatic the last week or so, probably just from being overtired and sick and hormonal. I ended up on the phone with my mom yesterday crying and telling her Ive been scared for weeks bc I didn’t have morning sickness - she burst out laughing and said “why didn’t you just ask me?? I never had any morning sickness when I was pregnant!” So, that’s good haha.

My coworker fried fish in the office kitchen at lunch today. It smelled so bad!

xxkberxx · February 2018

@olliedog3 they broke an unwritten rule! I feel like all offices have a thing against people heating fish.

ashh2018 · February 2018

Omg @olliedog3 I have a coworker who consistently brings in clam chowder at like 10am. I can’t wait to tell him I’m pregnant just so I have an excuse to be like “um, that can’t happen anymore”

Count me on the exhausted team. I was doing great this morning, went to work for a couple of hours, came home and put DS down for his nap. Then... because it was the only thing that sounded good to me, made myself waffles and bacon for lunch (shhh, the baby wanted it). Ate, felt fine, and then 10 minutes before it was time to get DS up from his nap I just crashed. I could NOT keep my eyes open. I set an alarm for myself because I knew I was going to fall asleep, and sure enough I did. I am SOOOOO grateful that DH lets me sleep late every day (in exchange for bathtime/PJ duty at night). I'm getting 8-9 hours of sleep per night and still feel like I'm running on empty.

Ugh I have a doozy. I went to the bank this afternoon to get a Cashiers Check for the deposit on our house. We close on Wednesday so I felt proud of myself for not waiting until the last minute to get the check.

They had to have two tellers verify the check because of the amount, and we joked about how it should be obvious which account to withdraw the funds from as it's the one with enough for a down payment on the house. I got my check and went on my way with the rest of my day.

This evening I went to pick up my son from the drop-in daycare we use, and when I gave them my card to pay it was declined. WHAT? So I called my bank to see what the heck was happening. You guys. They withdrew the deposit for our house from the wrong account and put our primary checking into the negatives!!!

I called the customer service line since the bank was now closed, and they acknowledged it was a huge mistake on their end. But because the funds were essentially withdrawn to create the cashiers check, they can't do anything over the phone to correct it. I have to go back into the bank tomorrow and get it fixed. Suuuch a pain in the butt! The supervisor said they'd reverse any charges or fees we incur because of this egregious error, but my mind is just puzzled at how something like this could even happen.

Since I can't drink wine, I'm eating a box of Oreos.

WhyTF is it so hard to find a sitter for 5-7 days a month!?!?!

My husband works 14(days) on/14 off and I work 7 on/7 off. Literally 7 of our days overlap and that’s the only time I need someone to watch the children. Also I work 10-12 hour days so I REALLY would prefer someone to watch the children at the house.
