Re: Randoms week 3/18
H had the weekend off and we were able to do so much! My house is actually pretty clean, I pickled a ton of eggs, and we cleaned our yard and garden area up a lot. It needed to be done so bad!!
We also have a dang goat that should be giving birth like any day. She always keeps us on our toes though. Her udder started swelling a few days ago and I just knew it was time and of course now it's staring to shrink again.. Ugh. She's killing me. Pic of said goat (the black one).

@nopegoat sounds like a productive weekend! Those are the best!
Hubby and I went to the movies and saw Captain Marvel which was really good then went out to dinner, felt so nice to bet out of the house and go on a date. Feels like its been forever. Sunday was spent cleaning up the house and yard, feels so nice. It was in the high 70s yesterday so it was really nice to be outside in the sun.. stupid rain is coming back this week..
Awesome. So just to recap: you'd rather stay at home with your dog than spend time with your grandkids. Got it.
@nerdtoyourmother I'm sorry girl. My MIL has pulled the same shit. She has legit gone over a year seeing the boys because it's too much of a hassle for her to find someone to care for a miniature yorkie and catch a free to her plane ride to see us but fully expects H to take off work, us to pull the boys out of school early, find someone to take care of our entire farm, and drive 9hrs to see her...
I hope the root canal goes well!

It's fine and things will work out, but it is putting me in a mood. And I just came from one of the math classes that I push in to (for no reason, I seriously have no SPED students in that class) and as usual coming back from a break/long weekend the teacher has nothing planned so the students are playing Yahtzee - which, fine, let them have fun, no big deal. But he also has NO control and NO classroom management and one student that takes every opportunity to just destroy the class by doing whatever the fuck he wants. I can't sit through that class today when I am already cranky and HANGRY because I did not bring a filling breakfast when I came to school.
Sorry for the rant.
Meals were usually simple and bland. Baked chicken or fish, steamed veggies, brown rice. Salads.Lighter soups. Veggie noodles or whole wheat noodles with a light pesto sauce instead of acidic tomato sauce or heavy Alfredo.
Frequent small meals with lots of water afterwards usually helps too.
Also during an attack water and kind of rocking back and forth on my left side actually made the attack end quicker.

The pain was honestly the most intense thing I every experienced with the attacks. I had an attack after my youngest was born and took him with me to the doctor's office. I ended up having to go to the emergency room with the baby and call my dad because I was 1.5 hours from home with our only car. They wanted to do the surgery that day but I refused, because I needed to get home to my husband and other son with our car and arrange child care. They said I would not be able to control the attacks with diet, and I said (literally I said this) "Screw you, yes I will, I have no choice. I am going home NOW." I got the Eat Clean Diet book by Tosca Reno and ate super clean for 2 months before my surgery. Not one more single attack. They told me that when they took my gallbladder out it was basically a "bag of stones".

@indulgentgypsy I hate when the IRS just doesn’t give you your money. You earned it, they took too much, so give it back already. Ugh. I hope you get it soon.
@nerdtoyourmother What the heck? Is it like a toy dog or something? Seems like they need to invest in a kennel for it if they don’t trust the dog being alone. What a load of crap. I hope the root canal goes well.
So DD has had diarrhea x2 days. DH has diarrhea today. I’m just waiting for it to hit me. It may be delayed because I’m sooooo constipated! Hahaha.

I'm trying to help build healthy cleaning routines for myself. Like on X day of the week, I run my laundry. On X day of the week, I fold my laundry. I just know that things will be better if I have set days/times that I complete these tasks so that I don't get behind or overwhelmed once the bambina is here.
Plus I'm in so much pain from my fall yesterday. It was so stupid and baby is totally fine but I'm having serious trouble walking today.
@kingdommom New furniture is always exciting! Happy Anniversary!
@Panaceia I hope you feel better! Glad that baby is doing okay. It’s so dumb they couldn’t find a sub for you... it’s not like they didn’t have time to prepare, right? And I would think that Grade 11 kids would be responsible enough for themselves... obviously not.
We owe SO MUCH in taxes this year. So much. It hurts. We always owe - MH doesn’t want to adjust because he’d “rather we hold it than an interest free loan”. But painful. Thanks, Trump. Seriously, we were hit pretty hard by some of those new tax changes.
I dunno what else.
Haven’t had an appointment in over a month so on my way now and AS (finally) next week!
@Panaceia, @bartonolivia I hope you guys feel better ASAP!
Oh that's so frustrating @mamanbebe I hope by some miracle she sends the right parts.
@Happyin14 yuck. I'm sorry. We haven't done our taxes yet and I'm scared we are going to owe again. Blah.
@frenchbaby18 hope your appt goes well!

@indulgentgypsy ugh, sorry to hear that! Financials are always a stress for us too, and such a big one at that. Hope the taxes end up well for you.
@leendenny @bartonolivia @ccmama3 @Panaceia hope you all feel better soon! Gosh, March has been a rough month for illness and body pains!
@frenchbaby18 I am SO jealous of France’s maternity leave policies....
nothing new here to really report, DH and I have a hospital tour tonight at 6. We are using the hospital across town this go around because we had not so great experience with the one down the street from our house with DS’s delivery. I’m looking forward to my mom watching DS for the night (yay, sleepover at mimi’s!) because just a few hours of non-kid time with DH will be nice.
I’ve also been eating everything in sight and I’m not looking forward to the weight-gain comments from my OB when I go in on Friday 😒

@cbeanz I feel you. One of my really close friends is getting a hysterectomy because of some issues she is having which mean she won't ever get to have kids. And so I'm feeling pretty guilty...
@Cbeanz huge hugs! My sister dealt with IF and then had to have a full hysterectomy because of endometriosis before kids and my BFF had 1 kid before she had to have a hysterectomy from endometriosis as well. I always feel so guilty when I have to tell them the news.

Hioe everyone one else is feeling better!
My H and I have tried to help as much as we can. We try to keep an eye out, have run/scared people off, called the police, and even put up a trail camera of hers and one of ours to try and help. She was out there today and I brought her a couple dozen eggs and we talked for a few minutes. She asked me if we checked the cameras lately. Besides this weekend when we were busy trying to catch up on our own stuff, my H hasn't been home. In fact he just left again for 1 maybe 2 weeks. These cameras are 15-20ft up in the trees to make sure they aren't seen and taken and my pregnant ass isn't about to jump the fence and climb a tree to check them. I told her this and she actually was put off and then said there was a ladder I could have used. 😳🤨😡
Yea I don't think so. Seriously not liking any of our neighbors at the moment.
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
If one of the cameras is hers then why doesn't she check it herself? Some people have no concept what gratitude looks like. I'm insulted and angry on your behalf.
I said bye and walked off after that. I guess she assumed that since we were closer than her on a daily basis because she doesn't live on the property that we would be the ones to check them??? But we all know the saying about ASSumptions and it really boils down to its not our property, not our stuff being stolen, and really not even our business.
I didn't see her ass pull out the ladder or try to climb the tree either while she was there today so yea I'm definitely not going out of my way to help anymore.
, 💙💙💙💙💙💙
@nopegoat Who the hell suggests that a pregnant lady go on a ladder 15-20 feet in the air to get a video recorder for a neighbor. If she wants it that’s bad, she can climb it herself. Sheesh.
@jenniferjoy37 right?? My H holds his breath and does his best not panic when I insist on getting stuff off the top shelf of our pantry with a step ladder (because I'm a strong, independent, vertically challenged woman 😂😂😂) these days. There's no effing way I'm checking the cameras myself.
