fitzfizz · February 2020

My WTF today is caffeine addiction. Why TF does this have to be so hard to quit? I'm trying to be good and limit myself to under 200 mg, but it is hard. I am on the struggle bus this week.

babycakesday · February 2020

@fitzfizz My dietician recommended mixing half decaf and regular and slowly switching to decaf to make it easier. I’m a caffeine addict to and this is the hardest part so far. Hope it gets easier.

My wtf is wtf can’t I sleep if I’m so exhausted?! I just want to sleep for a full night. My SIL came over yesterday to watch DD so I could nap and I still couldn’t get some sleep.

profmcgonagall · February 2020

@babycakesday, I am the same way. I can barely keep my eyes open in the afternoon but am wide awake in the middle of the night.

My wtf is that literally nothing sounds good to eat. I’m hungry but I don’t actually want to put forth the effort to prepare something and eat it.

thats_chelsea · February 2020

@babycakesday the same exact thing starving but nothing looks or sound good!!

ginevere · February 2020

@profmcgonagall same! I keep going to the grocery store and buying things that seem good and once I'm at home I just don't want it anymore.

@babycakesday 3am seems to be my unwelcome friend this week. I just can't sleep through the night either. Once morning comes I feel like I could literally sleep all day!

My WTF is this snow. I live in NH and I just want spring already!

westslopemama · February 2020

My WTF is also waking up at 3am and not being able to sleep when my son is finally sleeping through the night!

dolewhipper · February 2020

My WTF is my DH to possibly cancelling on me for couples therapy (AGAIN) this week. Bro, you're only hurting yourself and this marriage. I can still go to therapy without you, and get some use out of it to learn how to deal with your BS behavior, and show that I'm willing to put in the effort.

angthesa · February 2020

My WTF is my upper back pain. Like i could understand lower back pain but upper??? In between my shoulder blades???? Why??? And this weather. Seriously it has been raining for like a month. I am tired of the rain and my pups and I would like to go run!

babycakesday · February 2020

Yup 3am here too. I’m going to try and go to bed earlier tonight and see if it helps. Being awake since 3 with half of the caffeine I usually get has me feeling sluggish.

@ginevere & @angthesa i will trade weather! It was 80 and humid here the other day which made our day at the rodeo awful. I miss northern CA cold weather.

Edited: to fix tag

babyodo · February 2020

@dolewhipper - I'm surprised your counselor will continue having sessions without YH present. At my practice, we let that occur once, maybe twice, before recommending that the couple seek individual therapy on their own before returning to do couples work. Absenteeism by one partner means having to repeat work at future sessions. Sorry, I got on my therapist soapbox.

Add me to the insomnia & nothing sounds good to eat camp. I was exhausted when I got home from work yesterday and all I wanted was a nap, but my dog kept barking at squirrels in our backyard, so I didn't get any rest whatsoever. I decided to get up and start cooking dinner, but nothing sounded good. I still cooked dinner (blackened salmon with avocado salsa, wild rice, and sauteed green beans), but only ate a small portion because it was just blah to me, but I knew I needed to eat something healthy. And then MH didn't eat any of it when he woke up from his nap and instead had four string cheeses for dinner. I wouldn't have even cooked an entire dinner if I knew he wasn't going to eat it!! Needless to say, I was a little bitchy by the end of the night.

So, my WTF this week is with all the crazy one-off posts/peggies here and on the TTGP board. I get it, mercury is in retrograde, but good grief. The audacity of some of these posters is incredulous.

deaddahliah · February 2020

@babyodo it’s seriously insane. If they want to post and flee they should go to the real answers thing that the bump tried pushing over communities. And if you want to “bond” with 500 randos there are plenty 💩show Facebook groups for that. I’m seriously impressed that our chill board got labeled as bullies in less than a month.

fitzfizz · February 2020

@babyodo Yes! That was my secret WTF today. I mean, there were occasional peggy’s in TTGP but this has been nuts. People with other BMB experience, does the random one offs tend to die down later?

Seriously. I was in October 13 and December 17 and they were far worse than this. Everyone here has been nice so far that I can see.

deaddahliah · February 2020

@fitzfizz I think so, but also they will gradually be met with more and more snark. The further in we get, the less anyone gives af.

carrotsandpeas3 · February 2020

@fitzfizz yeah things will die down. All the randos getting positive pregnancy tests and not knowing who to talk to is at the peak in first tri in my experience. Plus once we all know each other better and have an established boards, the few fly bys get kind of hilarious.

pelomama · February 2020

Agree with @deaddahliah, after the excitement of a positive test fades, they’ll be another round of “look at my 10w scan and tell me if this is a boy or girl”, but the drivebys should slow down.

Yeah if you don’t want a community, there are tons of trashy FB groups that serve the purpose you’re looking for. I don’t think anyone was that snarky at all 🤷‍♀️

pelomama · February 2020

WTF to first tri exhaustion and nausea. This is the 3rd time I’ve done this and I don’t remember being this wiped before. I’m passed out by 9pm and even with my b6 + unisom cocktail, still feel gaggy all day. I’m over it.

coldbrew · February 2020

Sorry you’re dealing with that, @dolewhipper

@fitzfizz yep, by second tri we’ll likely see the same people around.

I’m also in the food sucks and waking at 3am camp. I have/had a serious caffeine addiction and somehow have been surviving on less than probably even 100mg a day but yet I still can’t sleep. Once I wake up I’m up for hours.

smg2302 · February 2020

Nodding along re: Peggys. I am ready to let my snark flag fly if y'all are.

morethanamama · February 2020

Also nodding along. I tend to not wanting to feed trolls but jeez, sometimes the audacity is too much for me to shut up. I try to be understanding of the people that are genuinely new and clueless, give them at least a pass, but won't let a stranger call us bullies! I rolled my eyes so hard because the other day I was juts thinking about how strange it was that we didn't have any drive bys, and here we are 🤦🏻‍♀️

Wtf to my nanny who is late no matter what. I told her I had a call at 9:30 this morning and she got here at 9:40. I was so stressed on a video call trying to wrangle my kid. Thankfully I was on mute and he was just making a mess in his room while I was watching him on camera, but JEEZ.

Omg I forgot about all of those 😂

one of my groups had an ultrasound thread so those who wanted to look could, and everyone else could ignore if they wanted. For the not drive by bumpies.

NME44 · February 2020

My WTF is how on earth does it take 24 hours to get blood work back??? I’m fairly certain the desk person was just lying to me and could see the doctor hadn’t reviewed results and was just buying time so I didn’t call again today. I mean, I know the doc has to review them first no matter how obviously displayed on the screen they may be, so that’s what I would have done too. Still annoying.

fitzfizz · February 2020

@NME44 That definitely may be the case, but depending on the clinic it might also be true. We have an on-site "lab" where blood is drawn, but then it is sent every afternoon to the actual lab and the results for most things come back the next day. Some labs take several days. So, maybe someone isn't lying! (trying to be charitable) But you are still allowed to be annoyed

NME44 · February 2020

@fitzfizz, the office is in the hospital. I suppose it’s possible they send them all to the lab at the end of the day, it just doesn’t make sense to me, lol! How do y’all keep specimens from hemolyzing all day?

ETA: I also want to be clear I wasn’t criticizing the office staff, even if they were “being charitable”

it’s nothing critical...just hard for me to wait.

fitzfizz · February 2020

@NME44 Now that is beyond my level of knowledge! I just know that I usually don't get labs back until the next day. But yeah, if it is in the hospital, there is no excuse! WTF

mdfarmchick · February 2020

Here’s mine... someone shared this with me today and I’m over here laughing and also mildly embarrassed for the OP

fitzfizz · February 2020

@mdfarmchick Ugh, that has to be one of the weirdest I have ever seen. So unnecessarily graphic...

deaddahliah · February 2020

@mdfarmchick yikes

kuntreegirl1018 · February 2020

That’s hilarious

kuntreegirl1018 · February 2020

My WTF is similar to others.....Why can't I sleep? I’m exhausted. My SO is getting all the sleep while I lie awake at night. I find myself getting mad at him for sleeping so soundly and I know I shouldn’t.

Also WTF do my boobs gotta be so sore? I don’t even want them touched during sex.

pelomama · February 2020

@mdfarmchick that’s equal parts SO TACKY and hilarious 😂

dolewhipper · February 2020

@babyodo I know it’s not usually suggested but my therapist is also our couples. It’s what DH wanted, she agreed, and at this point I don’t care I just want to fix the issues we’re having. I think he got the vibes I was sending and said he will go.

I’m pretty sure the snark has been at a 1.7 out of 10 here. Let’s crank this shi up.

@mdfarmchick you win WTF today.

AB518 · February 2020

@mdfarmchick That gender announcement is funny, but it is weird.

The drive-by Peggies seem to be extra crazy over the past 24 hours. The one on the TTGP board seemed like a completely insane person or someone just trying to stir up trouble. I don't remember there being this many one off posts with my last BMB, but I also joined a lot later. I was going to post earlier today that this was my WTF for the day, but it looks like it already was for several people.
