Weekly Randoms w/o 9/10

lyse01 · September 2018

Bring on those thoughts/vents/stories that don’t belong anywhere else!

for instance, this morning, discovering a season of the Great British Bake-Off that I hadn’t seen yet on Netflix is doing a good job of distracting me from feeling like I woke up with a hangover. Anyone want to bake a signature fruity cake with me?

chelseay416 · September 2018

@lyse01 the idea of a fruity cake is kinda making me gag right now

chelseay416 · September 2018

I had a whole second part of that post that I apparently didn't show up. @lyse01 I tried to say that normally I would totally join you in baking.

And my DS threw a tantrum this morning bc i took a bite out of a hamburger bun and then couldn't put that bite back

lovelybabybumpz · September 2018

It's Monday! No I'm not insane. Just fakin' it 'til I make it. Tomorrow I have to be in SF for work until Friday. I'm gonna miss my DD so much

My BIL called my MIL to tell her that the new baby isn’t invited to their wedding but they still want our 5 year old there as the flower girl. I’m confused because baby will only be two months and they are getting married 8 hours away. My MIL is pissed and said she won’t be attending the wedding then. Also his fiancé is the only one to ignore the fact that I’m pregnant. Not once has she’s said congratulations. I’m pretty sure it’s all her.

harveyisaboysname · September 2018

@lyse01 make it a double chocolate cake with extra chocolate and I’m in!

mermaidca · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname what the hell? I would prefer a 2 month old baby over a 5 year old any day haha! I'm sorry, that seems like a crummy situation.

harveyisaboysname · September 2018

@mermaidca exactly why I’m confused. That baby is going to be attached to my tit the whole time. So pretty much I feel like his fiancé doesn’t want me at the wedding so whatever I won’t go. But if I don’t go, neither does my daughter because there is no way my husband will be able to watch her while he’s drinking with the rest of the wedding party.

sheknows6 · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname I'm sorry, that is seriously childish. I feel like weddings and pregnancies bring the worst out in some people

harveyisaboysname · September 2018

@sheknows6 oh definitely! I cringe looking back at me behavior while I was planning my wedding

blueberrymomma · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname that is ridiculous especially if both your husband and daughter are part of the wedding party. It’s not like they have to pay for an extra plate! I would just bring the baby anyways. Or have your hubby talk to BIL (I assume it’s his brother). My SIL ignore my first pregnancy for so long that she didn’t even hold DD until she was 9months+ old.

DH asked if he could pick anything up for me on his way home yesterday and I asked for saltines. He went to the dollar store becaue he was too lazy to walk into the grocery store(after I told him I didn’t want stale dollar store saltines lol). I kid you not they tasted like cardboard and dish soap. So then I got upset because he didn’t believe me. Long story store he went back to the grocery store to get my saltines and the rest of my shopping list.

blueberrymomma · September 2018

Also I’d like to add that I changed my bump name a long time ago and it never showed up so I assumed it didn’t go through. Well I just noticed it changed today lol. FYI I used to be Baya5 and now I’m blueberrymomma. Sorry for any confusion

harveyisaboysname · September 2018

@blueberrymomma ew nothing from the dollar store tastes good! I’m glad he went back for you. My husband wouldn’t lol

lyse01 · September 2018

@chelseay416 the great thing about tv is that we don’t actually have to eat it. But I do like the idea of a toffee apple cake. or @harveyisaboysname’s chocolately chocolate cake.

Meanwhile, I’m over here trying to figure out how much people spend on a place to get ready for their wedding when the venue’s room is shitty. Maybe also a place with overnight accommodations.

eli_belle · September 2018

DH: How are you feeling this morning?
Me: *glares*
DH: Aww look who is full of pregnancy symptoms.
Me: Actually I'm full of Chili Cheese Fritos.
DH: Which you wouldn't have eaten if your weren't pregnant. I consider that a pregnancy symptom.
Me: Fair enough.

Context: I spent the weekend worried about miscarriage since my symptoms mysteriously disappeared on Saturday morning only to come back in full force Sunday evening. This is DH's attempt to reassure me.

gollygeeitsamy · September 2018

Any other NC/SC/VA moms waiting to see what's going to happen this week?

wearegroot · September 2018

@gollygeeitsamy Yup! We’re prepping in case we need to leave, and DH says work is insane with hurricane prep.

kangstadt · September 2018

@gollygeeitsamy, I'm not quite that far south but it's been raining here since yesterday morning and it's supposed to continue all week. DH is on standby with work in case of flooding (he's on the swift water rescue team). We were supposed to have our roofing contractor start work this week since we need a new roof... looks like that isn't happening.

Also, our backyard is practically a swimming pool and smells like septic. Yay for things we can't afford to fix right now!

mermaidca · September 2018

Hoping everyone is safe!! Yikes.

Piccola1988 · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname that's bullshit. I tend to think you don't necessarily need to invite kids to weddings, HOWEVER, by no means should you invite one sibling and not the other, and I can't even imagine not wanting my own niece and nephew at my wedding. What are they trying to prove? I think you'd be well within your rights not to go and I'm glad your MIL is standing up for you.

@blueberrymomma I'm glad your husband went back for the real Saltines! My husband has this weird thing where every now and then he'll bring home the generic brand of something that I 100% do not want and then he'll act bitchy about my less than enthusiastic reaction.

@lyse01 are you setting up a room block at a hotel or planning to stay in one the night of the wedding? I stayed overnight the night before the night of, so the bridal party and I got ready there. I found it much easier.

professormama · September 2018

Be safe, east cost moms! That hurricane looks terrifying.

I feel like literally all I do these days is complain. My poor husband must be so sick of it.

lovelybabybumpz · September 2018

@blueberrymomma I swear I replied to a comment from baya5 recently. So maybe it took a while to go through?

mermaidca · September 2018

@professormama I feel exactly the same! H actually said "You don't seem happy anymore" - oh no, I'm happy I just like to voice my complaints like all the time.

harveyisaboysname · September 2018

I think my husband actually does love me

sheknows6 · September 2018

@gollygeeitsamy I ROLLED laughing at that pic

mamasbdmate · September 2018

I hate this morning sickness but at the same time when i don't feel sick, I begin to panic

lyse01 · September 2018

@Piccola1988 more like considering turning a three bedroom place into a place designed for bridal parties to stay/get ready the morning of. It’s got glorious natural light through windows in all directions, and is a block and a half from a major regional venue, so has obvious upsides, but might be too expensive to flip/furnish for it to make sense.

blueberrymomma · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname YUM!! I’m hoping to start feeling better soon so I can have some chocolate cake, right now it makes me gag which I’m turn makes me sad lol

becca2345 · September 2018

Any mommies feel they have to pretend to be happy and not tired around their regular people? Makes me want to cry. Fake it till you make it is gonna be my new motto over the next few weeks.

wearegroot · September 2018

@becca2345 Absolutely. Actually I sometimes have to pretend to be happy around my husband. DS has been tantruming and not napping all day, and the dog’s been feeding off him and barking at me and I just had to sit down and cry because I just feel so overwhelmed, and then DH called and said he had to stay late because of hurricane prep, and I can’t tell him that things are falling apart at home because I don’t want to make him feel guilty while he needs to be focused on his work. I’ll tell him when he finally makes it home (because I need to vent) but for now I have to fake it.

kaitykins · September 2018

I had my first ultrasound (yay) and labs and such today. While at my labs my dh took my dd (2.75) to chickfila and brought back my lunch for after the blood work. But my dh cup sprung a leak and spilled everywhere and then my cup (in the bag with my fries), sprung a leak too. So my sweet tea, gone. My fries, gone. My chicken, cold. I was literally feeling like crying. I made my DH drive us back to chickfila, went in, showed them that the straw poked a hole in the cup and we’d lost our soda and fries. They replaced them. I was happy. Also my chicken reheated in the window of the car (yay for bright sunny days)

tumblefluff · September 2018

@harveyisaboysname we’re going to wedding soon that only babies under 1 are invited to. I can’t wrap my head around that logic. I’m pretty sure my 6 year old can be quieter than a 6 month old. Personally I’m in the camp of all or nothing. There should be no in between. Although I say that and we started with a no kids policy then made an exception for my nieces and nephews because they were in the wedding. Then my husband’s cousin asked if they could bring their 1 year old daughter because they were flying across the country.

tumblefluff · September 2018

My appointment for my first ultrasound was scheduled for tomorrow. I got a call today to reschedule to Wednesday instead. I’m so disappointed even though it’s only one more day. I have crazy anxiety right now because I want to know everything’s all right!

thatbaintforbetty · September 2018

@becca2345 my youngest sister tuned 11 yesterday and she had both a family dinner on Saturday night and a Sunday get together with friends at the roller rink that I was expected to attend. Nobody at either event knows. It super difficult to hide everything when all I wanted was a nap Saturday. And all the kids and parents and teens and bo and food and feet was awful at the roller rink. Gag city and I had to act like I was fine and happy and chase after DD constantly.

I nauseous and need a nap just thinking about it.

lilpotatomama · September 2018

I bought DH a little cake for us to eat from my work. He doesn’t get home from work until midnight.
I need strength because I don’t know how I’m supposed to wait four and a half hours to dig into this.

lilpotatomama · September 2018

Also. I cannot remember who it was that said that they like to go to the admin’s profile and read the threads they shut down, but WOW. Thanks for providing my Monday evening entertainment!!! I hate conflict and yet I can’t tear my eyes away.

wearegroot · September 2018

@sdelg09 Yes! I’ve been doing the same thing! But I’m happy we haven’t had any real drama in here. I’m perfectly happy watching it unfold in other boards. Also, check out the May 19 intro thread. They’re off to a great start.

lilpotatomama · September 2018

@wearegroot well that was really... something. The cringe! Suddenly I’m also very grateful that we haven’t had much drama.

lyse01 · September 2018

Drama llama starts p3, for anyone else playing along at home.

@wearegroot @sdelg09 who are all these people that think keeping a secret from their partner is a good idea?!

lovelybabybumpz · September 2018

@sdelg09 I said I love drama and will stalk threads for it but I had no idea you could check out from the admins profile. Gold!

kangstadt · September 2018

DH is already complaining about picking up the slack in housework. Ugh. Yes, I get you work 40 hours a week versus my 20, but you never heard me complain when I did dishes for weeks on end because you were tired and didn't get around to them. Now it's almost like he's resentful of me for sitting around on the couch instead of helping do housework. I had full intentions of doing housework yesterday, and then I felt like I was going to puke so I didn't do as much as I wanted (although I did fold three loads of laundry because DH never folds clothes). The constant comparison that he feels his job is more taxing than mine is irritating. I tried my best to have an honest discussion with him last night about how it makes me feel, but it ended with both of us being cranky at each other (and a sink still piled with dishes).

End rant, haha.
