Oh she and the whole entire bus got to see my alter ego which my parents have always dubbed The Dilemma come out. I don't think she will be giving any other pregnant ladies problems anytime soon
This week has been a struggle. The recent school shooting that happened in Colorado was up the road from us. I have been sick so the exhaustion from that mixed with hormones and fear of a school shooting had has had me feeling pretty down. The sun is out today so I’m praying that helps turn it around but I wish I could do more to help. My husband is an officer and had to go over there to help families so I’m trying to help support him too.
@gbud630 I like that your parents names your alter ego 😂😂.
@annewheeler2 Imm sorry for your tough week. I feel distraught by all of these shootings and helpless too. I’m glad your husband has you to lean on after tough days supporting the school.
@leylea89 it was their sweet pet name for me as a child 🤣 my first name is Gemma so I’ve always been Gemma the Dilemma - but when I go full force it’s an ‘uh oh here’s The Dilemma’
@annewheeler2 Another CO mama! Yay, but I know how you feel. I’m so sorry that your DH had to be there. It’s so tragic that it has to happen yet again in CO, and so close to the Columbine time frame.
So my DH forgot to look in DD’s bin when he was picking her up from daycare. They usually do a cute craft for mother’s day, and I’m really sad that I didn’t get one. It’s being petty, I know, but I really wanted something from DD because I know DH wont get me a card from her. He hates cards. 😭😢
@annewheeler2 That’s a lot to deal with at once. Hope something good happens to cheer you up! Thanks to your husband for his service. Schools are in such a fragile state these days...
*DH has been amazing and supportive, this is not his usual M.O. I need to rant about it though! I planned lunch for MIL and my mom for today. I made DH participate in the planning process, so he would know what was going on... He is even the one who picked lunch over dinner. I made the plan because DH always waits until the last second and leaves me scrambling, or regrets not doing anything. Last night he wanted to go to a friend's birthday party at a close by bar. Sounds good to me. I remind him to not stay out late: we have plans starting at 11 am, and I will need your help in the morning. At 2 something am, I wake up to pee and text him to come home. At 5 something am, I wake up to pee, and he isn't in bed, so I look for him. He brought 3 people home. One is passed out on the couch, and the rest of them are playing beer pong in the garage. Are you fucking kidding me? I am NOT a nagger, I do not bitch at him, I usually let him do whatever he wants. Yesterday, I was exhausted, and knew that being pregnant, I would likely not have a ton of energy today and need his help. I told him I was pissed and to shape up. I wake up today, and he has cleaned the living room and kitchen. Something was spilled in the living room, and he cleaned that up too, and started a load of laundry. He is asleep in the guest room, and everyone is gone. As long as he isn't still drunk when he wakes up, I'm not mad. However, I can't shake this super pissed off at him feeling!! He didn't listen when I told him what I needed, and made me feel like the bad guy, and be bitchy and nag in front of his friends. Please please don't be drunk when I wake you up in 15 minutes because I don't think I can handle blowing up at you and then being a pleasent lunch host.
@fromcatstokids oh no, I’d be really mad on that one too. So sorry mama - I really hope he’s in good shape for your plans today! Otherwise, cold wake-up shower for him...
@fromcatstokids I hear you, but it looks like he at least tried to make an apology tour by cleaning. If he’s still drunk or hungover, he can’t really change that so I’d just press forward and like pp said, ice cold shower will do the trick.
Maybe make sure he has eggs and toast too. Not that you should have to baby him but he’s human. We all are. Since you said it’s not his usual ammo, I’d just let it go now. You’re gonna have to do that anyway when baby gets here because nothing works out anger to forgiveness switch like a child. It’s just practice.
@mamahmh2 - Agree. I keep waking up at 2 or 3 am and staying up tossing and turning for hours. I usually fall back asleep just before I have to wake up and get the kids ready for school.
@jenniferjoy37 He was still a little tipsy when he woke up, so I had to keep re-directing him to get the cleaning done, but everything turned out ok. He was super apologetic about the whole thing. Turns out that the "spill" in the living room was the person who passed out on the couch pee'd herself. Thank goodness we're buying a new one this month anyways.
