Re: Weekly Randoms Thread 8/27
I dreamed I was pregnant (shocking, right?), and I went in for a checkup and they told me I had triplets. Oh and I was 6 months PG, so they definitely should have known before then. They ended up giving me a c-section right then, and my babies were like 8 pounds each. Where TF were they hiding? Then I went back to work and worked for an entire day before I told my boss "oh, by the way, I had my babies." She was like "yeah I know, you're able to button your jacket."
And one of the babies was named Clyde and I was so sad because I have no idea why I would name my baby Clyde. There was more, but dang it was a crazy dream.
I think this stems from the fact that there are 4(!) twin pregnancies in my O16 FB group and one didn't find out until 20 weeks because their OB sucks.

I think we need a new show. I have TV on in the background pretty often, just for noise, so we're always constantly circling through the same three shows.
And also sometimes Scrubs, but I really don't like feeling feelings and the pregnancy hormones just actively laugh in my face now about that when I watch it and then sob uncontrollably because
Anyway.
A few ladies here recommended Vikings, which I'm really interested in trying, but I'm worried it'll take more focus than I have for most TV shows. I've also heard good things about the Last Kingdom. I watched the first few episodes of Sharp Objects but couldn't get into it. American Horror Story starts again soon but even rewatching those has gotten old. Anyone have any recommendations? For now, Vikings will probably be my jumping off point (as long as it's streaming).

I have bummer randoms. We rehomed one of our dogs yesterday. He really didn't seem happy in our house (peeing on things, barking at DH, trying to run away) for a while, so DH found a friend of a friend to take him in the city over. I feel like such a shit human right now because of it. He was a really sweet good dog, and I always felt safe with him around. They'll probably have more time and space for him so I'm sure it'll be for the best, but wow do I feel crappy.

We have a wedding to go to in a couple weeks that’s semi-destination (it’s like 4 hours for us and I think there’s very few guests who live there) and they’re having no kids, so they referred us to a nanny service. So today I contact the nanny service. It’s gonna be $200 for us to get someone! The service is really designed for the bride and groom to hire for they’re guests, so we have to pay the same amount for our one kid that they’d charge to nanny everyone for the whole event! I’m so pissed. Ok, you don’t want kids at the wedding and you don’t want to pay for the service, then give us the option of going in with everyone else who has kids. It’s just really shitty hosting to force your guests into this situation. DH is gonna try to talk to them to see if they can connect us with other guests with kids to see if we can split it.
Pregnancy hormones are of course making more emotional about this. Also the fact that it’s taking place at a winery and I can’t drink.
That's sad, but you're not a shit human. You found a great home for your beloved pet!
I actually had a coworker named Clyde, so it's funny that I decided my baby would be named after him. The other two had names as well, but they were less offensive to me in the dream, so I'm not remembering them.

My doctor told me that I wouldn't have any side effects from stopping zoloft.
I love parks and rec! And I used to own all the scrubs DVDs (back in the days before netflix bingeing). I'm currently tearing through Insatiable on Netflix. And watching Succession on HBO with my husband and our friend. I love crazy ex-girlfriend which is on Netflix too.

@MRDCle, sorry to hear about your pup, but I definitely agree it sounds like he'll be happier. Don't beat yourself up too much!
@wearegroot, that's insane. I'm probably biased because we have a ton of kids in my family and extended, so we had a kid-friendly wedding, but I agree it's super rude to expect people to just drop 200 bucks for one night of nanny services. Do you have family members nearby who could babysit instead?
This week has been pretty crummy so far. My DH waited for a roofing contractor to show up yesterday but he never did; insurance agent was supposed to contact me yesterday and didn't; our downstairs toilet isn't working and is backing up again (
End vent. Hope the week gets better for all of us!
That is ridiculous. I'm sure the bride and groom didn't intend for that to be the arrangement!

@wearegroot I get why people have a kid free wedding but $200 for a nanny? For one night? You could find a local teenager or someone you trust to watch the kids for waaaaaay cheaper.
I suppose I could leave DD with MIL but we’re not really comfortable with the distance (ie I’d love to pop in and nurse at some point).
Also, my apparent UO is that while it’s nice to assist in helping people find childcare, it’s totally not the bride and groom’s responsibility. Background: My wedding has been pushed back like three times and I will continue to refer to my partner as DH because it’s easier. My wedding guest list goes from 60 (aunts/uncles included) to 200ish (cousins/partners and some extra friends) to north of 300 with kids. I want the kids there but I can’t afford the kids there so it’s going to be kid-free except for my kids.
On weddings and being kid free... I don't think it's the bride and groom's responsibility unless it's a destination wedding. However, if it's a destination wedding I feel like that's different. You shouldn't ask someone to fly across country then tell them that they're totally on their own for childcare in a place where they know no one and have no support system...
I just had my first day of the semester teaching, and I have 2 classes back to back. Holy sh*t it was brutal. Basically standing, lecturing, and leading class for 3 hours straight killed me. Especially the energy it takes to project loud and enthusiastic enough to keep my 150 lecture class engaged. I was so hungry and thirsty by the end that I was seriously light headed walking back to my office. I can't wait until I'm showing and I can get away with eating snacks while I teach... right now I feel like it just looks unprofessional. I am definitely remembering a water bottle next time though. And I might give in and use a microphone so I don't have to project so loudly. I hate doing that though.
OAN - BOY OH BOY do I HATE when people take conference calls without a headset. I do not need to hear all this stuff.

@wearegroot Woooow that seems unreasonable to expect guests to pay the amount of watching several children at a wedding. I hope you get in touch with other guests to split the amount, that's a really tough situation with a destination wedding.

Anyways @thatbaintforbetty I was trying to say that DD gets excited/nervous when a big event is coming up (like first day of kindergarten tomorrow) and then she can’t sleep. I was the same way growing, still am now. I just hope both our kiddos get some rest tonight.

I think what really set me off is the whole thing that I’m paying the same amount for one kid as for a whole wedding of kids.
Unfortunately leaving him with someone isn’t an option. It’s just too far, and I wouldn’t want to inconvenience a friend with watching him for 24 hours, and the only family around is my parents and I don’t trust them with him (my dad physically can’t do it, and my mom believes that his life threatening food allergies aren’t that bad and reading labels is too much of an inconvenience for her). It is a college town so I’m going to see if I can find someone else more reasonable, while DH contacts the couple to ask if they can hook us up with another family to split the cost.

So last month the sale fell through two days before closing due to financing, now today is 3 days before closing 2.0 and our realtor did a clean sweep of the house before the buyers walk through on Thursday. Apparently the power went out at some point and the thermostat reset itself to heat, and we live in VA with 130% humidity, so the gorgeous hardwood floors that were a major selling point have started to buckle. So now we’ve got the A/C blasting in the hopes that the floor will settle before Thursday, because we do not have the money to fix it.
Edited for typos. So sick of typos!!!
That being said, it drives me NUTS when my husband locks himself in our office playing video games, which is his preferred use of his free time. I don't actually want or need a break from my daughter, but it pisses me off when he acts like she's my sole responsibility.
Because he’s got to micro-manage everything (he’s got OCD) he made a schedule for himself that included time for family and time for play. It seems a bit extreme to me, but it works for him, and I no longer have to remind him that he has a family to hang out with.
