@grebretso actually...there was a news article about a kid got meth from his candy and was in the hospital....some people are psycho.
And hmmmm maternity pajama pants...i must look into these! I am running out of room in my current. What about maternity underwear? Is it really needed or can I just buy an upsize of my currents?
@hnbergeron I found Motherhood pajama pants on Amazon for cheaper. Also they had the pattern I wanted that Motherhood said was out of stock in my size.
The worst part of my day the last 2 weeks is putting pants on in the morning to go to work... the struggle is real. Unrelated, a house under construction 5 houses away from me went up in flames last night at 3am. 2 alarm blaze and 14 trucks.. arson most likely. I did hear a voice outside and peeked out to see a fire trucl across the way... didnt realize there was an actual fire and 13 other trucks! Crazy
@cass06_07 I think I gave up on real pants a month or two ago haha. Work pants are scrubs, dresses for church, sweats around the house and leggings or hand me down maternity pants if I'm out in public.
My dog recently started getting my attention when I'm sitting on the couch by sitting next to me, staring, and poking/ pawing my boob. Since my belly has gotten bigger, every once in a while he gives that a nudge too. This is pretty much the only indication he's realized I'm pregnant, but I really don't think he actually knows anything is different. Here he is with his Halloween bandana
@madreofdragons - The big concern here is people giving out pot candy. I buy pot candy - it's my favorite way to relax. They are NOT cheap ($3+ each) - no one is handing out pot candy.
So I'm trying to not fly into a rage, but shit hit the fan big time at work at about 3 today - I was supposed to leave at 3:30 (and then be online on my phone after that as needed at least until I could get back online after doing a little trick-or-treating with my kids). Well - it's 6:30, I'm still at work, I missed trick-or-treating, I missed the last train home and have to wait for DH and the kids to pick me up. Only a handful of people see what a big problem this is (it's both a legal and financial risk - not to mention how disrespectful it is of our time) and it's going to require a ton of work that's going to fall on myself and one person in finance. Did I mention I have also worked 14 hours today so far? I'm not paid enough for this shit.
@cmjenkies I’m glad you’re getting the help you need. Take care of yourself and your kids. I hope DH’s family will still continue to give you some support. You’re doing great! You’re an awesome mom and your kids will always see that you do whats best for them. Take care of yourself and the baby! Xo
@kayjay44- Jeez that sounds awful! I am so sorry. I am now foolishly starting Haunting of Hill House, all alone, because SO is out at the Ween concert. This will not end well.
Insomnia is evil. I woke up a little over and hour ago because the dog asked to go out and now I'm awake, anxious, hungry and pissed at all of the above. Tomorrow is going to be fun. I'm terribly sorry for anyone who experiences it regularly.
So last night our upstairs elephant neighbors got into a screaming match at midnight. I normally just roll my eyes and go back to bed when they stomp around and slam doors up there, but last night was full on screaming at each other. It sounded pretty escalated so I almost called the police but then suddenly it was silent. So obviously I spent the rest of the night panicking in bed that I’d just heard a murder and didn’t do anything to stop it because i was too tired. Happy Halloween?
Shit, @kayjay44. This sucks and I’m sorry. I hope the cheeseburger was delicious and the kids scored some yummy candy for you.
@BourbonBiscuits - our neighbors to the left of us have some wicked screaming matches and I always wonder when is the appropriate time to call? Keep us posted if there’s a CSI team at your place today
Your job sounds awful right now @kayjay44. It sucks you have all this job stress on top of everything else. I don’t know how you deal, I would not be able to handle it. Sucks you missed trick or treating too. I hope that you can make up for the overtime by leaving early a few days when (and if) things settle down.
@kayjay44 I’m sorry you have to deal with that it’s so frustrating. I’ve also had shitty days at work this week with higher ups commenting about my work and some things that were totally out of my control but still somehow my fault. I’m pissed and I told my boss.
Shit hit the fan for me and DH yesterday. I’m so sick of being the bigger person and always trying to placate him just to avoid a fight. He was pissed off from beginning to end bc DS fell asleep on the way to the Halloween festival. Then he woke up and wanted to go in a bouncy house but busted his face within 5 minutes and basically his whole night was ruined. DH was also pissed that DS didn’t want to fully wear his costume so DH couldn’t get a picture and was pissed off that our three year old was being no fun. DS also wanted nothing to do with trick or treating so we all went to dinner with my aunt sister and cousin where DS threw several tantrums, spilled soda all over himself, and basically DH was fucking useless and then on the way home he proceeds to go off on how I’m always tired and I don’t want to do anything.
i lost my shit. I do more than he does in the homefront and I’m okay with that because it’s the nature of our schedules etc but do not for one second get pissed at me for being 7 months pregnant and tired. I just basically lost my mind. He always pulls this shit and later on he apologizes but I’m sick of the stupid ass cycle that this is. He was in therapy and we did couples sessions but I honestly didn’t like his therapist and I don’t feel like I was being heard in the sessions that while he has changed some he still pulls This shit. I’ve said several times in session and out that he lacks compassion for all I do and how I end up feeling.
Ugh anyway sorry for the long rant but I’m just so so so frustrated about always trying to placate EVERYONE not just DH.
@danixbanani24-No apologies. LET. IT. OUT! That sounds like some SERIOUS BS, worthy of him getting told and you ranting wherever you need to. He sounds like the biggest toddler of all in that story! Oh man. He's lucky he survived the night!
@danixbanani24 NO that's not okay. Apologies don't matter unless you actually CHANGE something, which he's not. I'm glad you went off on him and told him how you felt. I understand being frustrated by kids BUT he's the adult which means he needs to not bitch and moan about a child behaving like a child. End of story.
Fun post-Halloween fun: A bunch of the songs from Wicked that were featured in A Very Wicked Halloween are posted to YouTube on NBC's channel. SO. GOOD. Here's the link. Side note: Idina Menzel's voice is somehow even better-sounding than before. I LOVE IT.
I’m so fucking tired - between being pissed and insomnia, I got maybe 2 hours of sleep. It’s IV infusion day so I’m enjoying my little mini vacation. I was kind of glad they blew multiple insertions so I can go into work late.
@danixbanani24 You have a total right to be frustrated with your DH! It sounds like you're having to manage two kids over there instead of one. You need him to be an equal partner with you, not someone you have to manage. I hope he hears you and shapes up.
Thanks guys. I did write a long text message to him this morning elaborating that I had to get my feelings off my chest. Thing is he understood and promised to do better but I told him AGAIN for the upteenth time that I’m tired of this cycle. It happens, we fight, he apologizes it’s annoying and frustrating. Anyway We discussed it and will move on it’s just really annoying when it happens. Glad to have all your support and My therapist too lol
I'm glad you have told him what's what @danixbanani24. It'll probably mean more work for you again but I wonder if he doesn't need a plan of action with smaller, achievable goals and regular check ins to really get him on track to changing his habits? It sounds like a terrible cycle. Some people having a devil of a time changing.
@kayjay44 enjoy! Make sure you take your sweet time getting back to work.
I don't know where to put this question. Is Oregano Oil ok during pregnancy? I feel a pretty rough cold coming on and normally I take oil of oregano....but haven't been sick since getting pregnant so just wondering. I keep reading some dicey things and then some people tell me it's perfectly fine.
@bhou The most legit-looking site that has info on it is WebMD, which basically says that it's possibly unsafe, but not enough trials have been done to really know for certain (this is a common problem with pregnancy and medicines; randomized trials are close to impossible to obtain, because no pregnant woman would willingly join a trial that might result in miscarriage or stillbirth). Anyway, safe route would be to just avoid it, and use a different cold remedy that is safe. Here's the link to the full article: https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-644/oregano
Well, it looks like I'll be going on a babymoon of sorts after all! Though it's not to some beach resort like I'd prefer. H got a second, in-person interview for a physician position up in Alaska, and the employer wants me to come up, too (I guess to make sure that I'm not some big city person who despises small-town living?). So, we'll be heading to Alaska for a very quick trip in just a few weeks! Let's hope that there's not too much snow just yet, as we'll be driving a few hours to the little town once we're off the plane. Group poll: in the email from the director, he mentions visiting with a realtor while we're there, and also seeing some of the neat resorts and travel spots, "since those are popular weekend getaways for locals". I'm reading this as they're either very seriously considering H, or they're just being nice and say this to everyone (money is not an object for this practice, so I don't think they have any qualms about flying multiple candidates in). What's your take? I'm trying not to get too excited, but I may have already looked at houses...
We’re driving up to Everett, Wa this weekend (headed your way @grebretso and @kayjay44) H thinks he can get there faster than Maps is saying. Dude, you’re going with your mother, your 4 year old and your pregnant wife. If anything you should add an hour.
@hannahbananas11 that sounds pretty promising. Flying multiple people people in is one thing, telling you to talk to realtors, bringing you, etc. All seems like they are really considering him and want to be sure he is as serious.

It's been a great season so far. It's the only one of my DVR shows that I'm actually keeping up with. Love David Boreanaz and Max Thieriot.
