Tell us who the biggest twatwaffle is in your life today or just give us the rundown of 10 random things for today.

1-September is looking to be crazy busy with appointments, hoping it makes the time fly & gives me less time to be anxious about the pregnancy.

2-My neighbors are obnoxious & the mother refuses to curtail their children's behaviour when Baby Daddy isn't home (we live in a half a double) & she knows we had to get a white noise machine to block out their excessive noise. She waits til we get PO'ed enough to say something then tries again the next day. Baby Daddy is of course clueless at his new(ish) girlfriend's rude behaviour so excuses it. I worry about when we have sleepless nites as we already have lost sleep (daily) since they had a new child 2 years ago, as they put the nursery behind our master bedroom. They're having another.

3-S/O got a new job and his boss is a piece...he realized he's not getting paid at all what was promised nor the hours he was told he was working. His boss has a major attitude issue & he's afraid to address this as the guy only keeps 6 employees & is fire happy. He's been nasty about him attending appointments w/me despite telling him we're high risk. Then s/o noticed half pay & is only getting credit for part time hours. The stress is real.

4-Family is weird right now.

5-I really want sushi. There's this thing called an Ocean Roll. I can't stop thinking about it.

6-All the animals have gotten extra cuddly since I've been pregnant. Animal cuddles are the best.

7-We want to go to the beach but Summer is running out! We may go for a day trip at the very least soon.

8-Our 10 month old Boxer pup has gotten too used to us being home during COVID. He's gonna have a tough time adjusting when baby comes. I should prolly start working with him now.

9-How many breakfast sandwiches can one person eat?

10-I need to get on a cleaning spree. Then realize I'd rather nap.

@animommy - I've never had an ocean roll, but I looked it up and it sounds delish! Looks like it's all cooked meats - is there anywhere near you that sells it?

I have a few TW in my life this week:

1 - My MIL is insistent that she and FIL go to FL for a month on vacation. FIL is obviously terrified, but is going to go because MIL wants to. The entire time we were at their house this weekend he kept talking like this is the last time they're going to see us, he hopes the older kids will tell the baby about him, telling/showing us where all of their important papers/keys are "just in case." Additionally, she keeps trying to get us to commit to going down there with them. Uh, no, we already cancelled our family Christmas vacation to FL with the kids in December because of COVID-19, we sure as heck aren't going down early. Neither DH nor I plan on testing being high-risk for coronavirus complications on top of our already high-risk pregnancy. No thanks.

2 - Multiple family members: I am a grown-ass adult. I don't need anyone doting on me or spoiling me aside from my husband. I can find my own food, I'll rest when I'm tired. Leave me alone and stop trying to force me to sit down or eat when I'm not hungry. I promise I have it covered. If I want to swim, I'll swim. If I want to stand, I'll stand. If I want to sit, I'll sit. If I want to lay down, I'll lay down. If I'm hungry or thirsty I'll find something to eat or drink. I'm only 4 months pregnant, I can't wait to see what the holiday season brings :eyeroll:

3 - DH randomly gets the idea that we should fly across country in December to go visit the family friend who officiated our wedding, who moved away and is having a hard time with the isolation. Excuse me, what?! We already cancelled our family vacation plans that month due to COVID, what makes you think I want to be 7.5 months pregnant with our HR pregnancy going through likely (2) International Airports and sitting on super congested airplanes with other people. (Also, flying coach while pregnant sounds miserable - are you paying for an upgrade to 1st class, DH?)

@WildMagelet oh wow I just looked this up! The one I'm craving is specific to a local place in my area & they do it with Tuna, Yellowtail & I THINK one other type of fish, avocado (not for me!), with mango & seaweed salad on the outside, topped with fish eggs (hold that too!). But I gotta take a look at these others! Hmmm!

Also, what gives with family lately?! Why would they wanna risk going to the HOT SPOT for any amount of time?! I feel bad for your FIL, it sounds like he is scared beyond belief to go & I don't blame him!
And preach! I am not one that appreciates being coddled either! I get the exact same way with so I hear ya! I simply CANNOT get behind the whole "ohhhh they're just being niiiice". No way. I can take care of myself & don't need to BE babied, I'm HAVING one! Ha!
I'd ask hubby oh...you going coach or first class?

I'm just full of unsolicited opinions today, forgive me.

@animommy - I'd definitely have a list of rules including first class airfare, N-95s, alone time at our destination, and we have to visit my Aunt that lives 1 - island over, if she'll have us. And that's all assuming we don't have to quarantine for some unreasonable amount of time after getting back just for visiting that state. There's NO way I'm doing a car trip for that long (over 2,000 miles each way). We could take the train and get a private room, but that's 44 hrs stuck in on a train, and since he works in the rail industry I'm sure he'd hate that. I just don't see the point in risking it.

@WildMagelet oh that's great! I was being sarcastic tho if you didn't wanna go imply he was going alone haha! I HOPE by then COVID is much less of a concern so you can travel safely tho! But yeah he best be prepared cuz you think ahead. You go girl!

The twatwaffle is either me or my H. One of us left the lid on the salt shaker super loose and while I was cooking I grabbed it by the lid and dropped salt allllll over the kitchen.

@WildMagelet I’m also a hard pass on flying right now. I feel bad for your FIL

@animommy bad neighbors are the worst

I’m also not comfortable flying right now. We had a cancelled vacation in March so now we are going to lose a $576 flight voucher if we don’t use it by January 😢
