Not really. I wish my dogs could do the laundry, but that's not new or bitchworthy

Jens_Hoes · May 2018

@morgantu
that gif reminds me that I'm bitchy about GoT not coming back until April 2019

PensiveCrayon · May 2018

First of all, it's Sneak Peek. I know it's very difficult to switch between the -ea and the -ee but I CAN'T EVEN with Sneak Peak. (I know, I'm a jerk.)

Second of all, who microwaves bacon? My mother-in-law, that's who. (More of a WTF Wednesday thing but it's relevant today.)

And third...darn it, I forget number three. WHICH IS A BF IN ITSELF.

Gwyneddlesliegrace · May 2018

I have an UO. The first official royal wedding photos were released and they’re mediocre at best.

I thought the whole thing was underwhelming. Her dress and styling was just so.... blah. Everyone else's too - Kate, Meghan's mom. Someone please tell the queen to step away from the lime green.

LLynde5 · May 2018

@Gwyneddlesliegrace and @hkom while I agree with the lime green. Not my favorite.

I thought even though it was a Royal wedding, it was Megan’s second wedding and nicely done! He dress fit her personality. Classic and understated. She is kinda an easy breezy chic and that’s why she pairs so well with Harry. It made me think she would rather be in Africa helping children then worrying about what the world thinks of her dress. Lol

gracie4400 · May 2018

@khom I agree with you 100%. Even if you liked Megan's dress, it just seemed like it didn't fit her right/needed to be taken in or something. And Kate Middleton wore her dress on two different occasions before the wedding. I won't even where the same dress twice to an event and I'm not being photographed for the press!

hkom · May 2018

@gracie4400 Right. I'm totally all for her being simple and "easy-breezy," but you can do that and still dress for the occasion and have it be special because hello your are marrying a prince. The dress didn't fit her and IDK what it was made of, but the fabric made it look heavy and stiff. It looked like a sweatshirt! It was too casual for me and just... boring.

I actually love that Kate re-wears dresses often, and I usually like her outfits a lot. I just thought hers was boring and frumpy.

CecilB93 · May 2018

Probably a UO from the sound of it, but...I couldn't care less about the royal wedding.

Petty BF...
I'm to a point where I hate food. It's not even aversions (though part of it is) it's the fact that I have to modify everything I eat. I just want a big juicy burger with BBQ sauce, crispy onions, bacon, an actual bun, fries, and a Dr Pepper. And I can't because it's too many effing carbs, and that pisses me off. I'm not quite 11 weeks in and already 100% done with GD and wishing this pregnancy was over.

brittaniahutto · May 2018

My bitchfest includes severe bleeding, and cramping (unlike anything I've ever experienced before) all happening this morning. Now I'm on bed rest for 2 days and my job is being very difficult about it.

mittenlove86 · May 2018

@Jens_Hoes OMG I am going through GoT withdrawals!

@PensiveCrayon my husband has microwaved bacon! He says it tastes the same, but I’m a vegetarian so don’t ask me

As far as the royal wedding, I agree about the fit of her dress. I think it may have looked nicer if it had been taken in a little bit

morgantu · May 2018

@brittaniahutto wow, I'm sorry your work is being lame, but are you Ok?

hbmama21 · May 2018

My BF is that my son is still sick, which makes me sad in itself, but on top of that—we can’t start the formula trial until he’s well. I just want to wean him and eat all the foods already!! BF: Food allergies suck a$$!

hbmama21 · May 2018

@brittaniahutto I’m really sorry you’re having such a difficult day and work is being crappy about it! I hope the bed rest turns it around and your work recognizes this is not a situation you control.

AGK2015 · May 2018

Psh, y'all are bonkers. I loved everything about her dress, including the fit; it managed to look absolutely gorgeous AND demure (not to mention comfortable!). But then, my own wedding dress was three or four sizes too large (two weeks between engagement and wedding, no time for alterations, and of the dresses David's had in my budget, it was either three sizes too big or two sizes too small), so the chances anybody's about to hire me as a red carpet commentator are pretty slim.

LLynde5 · May 2018

@CecilB93 I’m sorry about the GD. I have my first 1 hr test next month and dread the whole thing. I barely survived twelve weeks of GD last time. I can’t imagine going longer. All I have to say is Breyer’s Carb Smart ice cream didn’t do anything to my test strip readings if I ate the recommended amount. It’s no burger but it was something because it didn’t taste diet to me.

@brittaniahutto if bleeding and bed rest wasn’t bad enough. I hope your employer has a come to Jesus moment over there and sees their ridiculous behavior.

temmetime · May 2018

Ditto on not caring or seeing anything about the royal wedding. I asked DH which he'd rather be forced to watch: the royal things or Kardashian things and his cringe made me chuckle.

@CecilB93 Oh man I'm sorry you have to deal with that.

I might have missed it somewhere - how are you sure you have it already?

@brittaniahutto F your employer! That really sucks. I hope you are ok though!

I came to bitch about my computer plug in not working (macbook), but with some savvy rubberband skills I have it charging! It's the little things. (& hoping for no fire...)

CecilB93 · May 2018

@temmetime they made me do an early 1 hour glucose test because my "BMI is over a certain threshold" *all the eyerolls* I'm not huge by any means, I get that I'm concsidered overweight, but good lord not that much!! I'm just pissed off about the whole thing honestly. Usually they don't test early unless you've had issues in the past with GD (or family history maybe?), so their reason for testing me is upsetting. But, blessing in disguise is I'm able to monitor now rather than the last half like most people would have to do.

@LLynde5 good luck on your test!! Crossing all my fingers for you!! I'll have to look for that ice cream, I've been cheating and eating a few bites of regular ice cream at night after I've tested my glucose, but before I eat a healthy snack before bed. I'd love to have ice cream without worry! Thanks for the suggestion!

temmetime · May 2018

@CecilB93 Wow! That's quite upsetting that they decided to test you early. I'm definitely in the overweight category also (BMI is so stupid) and it has never been mentioned to me WIll they test you again later in the pregnancy?

CecilB93 · May 2018

@temmetime I don't know anyone else who has been tested for the reason I was honestly. But no, since they've already determined my glucose is high and I'm already monitoring, they won't have to test me again.

LLynde5 · May 2018

@CecilB93 there were a few pluses for me with the Diabetes (in my best Walter Brimley voice). One is I watched everything that went into my mouth and walk as I was told. I only gained 15 lb and was down 25 lbs a month after giving birth. Two with the extra appointments I got to see our girl more often which gave me peace of mind. Three my husband felt so bad for me he did most of the cooking and found some pretty tasty low glycemic meals. There is nothing fun about it but those are my in retrospect silver linings.

And thanks for the well wishes!!

Jens_Hoes · May 2018

@mittenlove86 I can’t even really complain because my husband and I started streaming from the beginning for the first time maybe a few months ago? We finished last month, so we’ve only had to wait a little bit but it’s torture!

@brittaniahutto I’m so sorry about your bleeding. I hope you feel better and your job isn’t such a dick.

I loved the dress but didn’t love the fabric. I did think the whole thing was beautiful and very her. I’m sure it was less pressure since she won’t be queen one day. I also heard the queen wears bright colors so that people ina crowed can see he’d. But really, I think she enjoys being the queen and being the center of attention!

I still cant get over the pictures. The fact that they paid so much for the cake and invitations is kind of obvious and reminds me of a “I have a friends with a nice camera” moment. Like, “I have a friend who is a fashion photographer.” It actually came off quite unprofessional to me with the crooked horizons, cut off limbs, underexposure, and subpar posing. I expected more from a world renown photographer.

runrinserepeat · May 2018

A day late, but I'm so sick of feeling like my boss second guesses everything I do. If he wants to do my job for me, he should just do it.

Also, add me to the "don't really care about the royal wedding" camp. I didn't even see a decent picture of the dress to really know how I feel about it.

katy0990 · May 2018

So, I know it is Tuesday now, but I need to vent. I am a teacher and this is my first week of summer vacation. As I was on the phone scheduling my appointment for tomorrow, my principal beeped in. She said that She needs to see me tomorrow at 11. She was very cryptic and gave no other information. This was a rough year. Last year, I felt so supported and grateful to be on her staff. This year was completely different. I am terrified that she overheard someone talking about me getting sick and found out about the pregnancy and will choose not to renew my contract. We are on a year to year contract, so if she wants she can just not renew mine and never give a reason. So, I meet with her at 11 and have my ultrasound at 12:45. I. Am. Terrified.

morgantu · May 2018

Oh no, @katy0990- fx that it's a positive meeting.

maureenmce · May 2018

Oh @katy0990 I hope everything goes okay! Keep us posted! Sending you good luck!

Katzalia · May 2018

@katy0990 fx your meeting with her goes well. Hope you can distract yourself until then. Good luck tomorrow!!

CecilB93 · May 2018

@katy0990 FX it's good news! Let us know how it goes! ❤️

echo-charlietango · May 2018

@katy0990 Ack! I super hope the meeting goes well, that is nerve wracking *creepy internet hugs*

Hollyyyyy · May 2018

@katy0990 Good luck tomorrow!

deutschmama · May 2018

@katy0990- we were on the same year-to-year contracts, it always caused so much stress for people at the end of the year. Thinking of you, let us know how it goes!

hbmama21 · May 2018

@katy0990 Good luck today! I hope it’s a positive meeting and her thanking you for the hard work through a challenging year. FX!

Jens_Hoes · May 2018

@katy0990 good luck today.

temmetime · May 2018

@katy0990 good luck today! I hope it's a positive meeting and her verbalizing her appreciation for you!

morgantu · May 2018

hey @katy0990 how was the meeting? i saw that the us was good!

katy0990 · May 2018

Thanks for all the support ladies. Unfortunately, it was not a positive outcome at the meeting. I asked a couple of months ago if it would ever be an option for a part-time position. I made it very clear that I did not want to give up my job, just that if anything ever came up I would be interested. Today, I was told that my contact is not been renewed because I had asked about part time. I feel like there is more to it than that, but because I am only on a year to year contract, there is nothing I can do. I taught in a low income school and all but one of my students met their growth goals. I got a glowing evaluation less than three weeks ago. The thing that is most upsetting is that I have seven weeks of sick time saved up for maternity leave. I was hoping to have the baby in December and then take off the rest the year since we are able to take unpaid child care leave. Now, if I get a new job, I will be lucky if I can take the six or eight standard weeks. I am so glad my ultrasound went well, though.

maureenmce · May 2018

@katy0990 I'm so, so sorry. Is there any kind of appeal process?

katy0990 · May 2018

@maureenmce Unfortunately, because it is a year to year contract, there is nothing even the union can do.

LLynde5 · May 2018

@katy0990 I’m so sorry you have to deal with this:(
