TP Thursday and randoms

[bradysalon]

Anyone you want to give a little throat punch this week?

[bradysalon]

I want to TP the parents of my students this year. Half of them have been HORRIBLE! Emailing me at all hours of the day and night and freaking out when I don't get back to them right again. Um- sorry- just trying to teach your children. I've been stalked after school by one parent who sits at my car to demand information about the mom (pending custody case). I've never worked harder for a class in my life. This has been an awful year.

bradysalon that sounds terrible! Waiting at your car?! Have you told administration about that? I admire what you do bc I would definitely not have the patience for that! Hopefully the rest of the school year flies by and you're able to enjoy your summer!! 😊

[mrscatfarmer13]

bradysalon that sounds so stressful. When is the last day of school?

[mrscatfarmer13]

I had my ultrasound this morning. We heard one strong heartbeat at 170bpm, baby measuring 7w5d instead of exactly 8. I'll take it!!

[cutay]

bradysalon , that definitely warrants a TP. You poor thing. I can't even imagine. How is stalking okay?! What grade do you teach?

mrscatfarmer13 , YAY for a great ultrasound!

Nothing too crazy on the agenda for us today. My MIL is coming over to watch DD so the hubs and I can go see "Guardians of the Galaxy 2" tonight. I'm so excited. Especially for all the buttered popcorn.

On a side note, my MIL's sister had a house fire a few days back and lost everything. Her dog was inside and didn't make it out. Everyone is devastated. I can't even imagine. If you guys don't mind keeping her in your thoughts, it would be greatly appreciated!

I have the opposite problem.  My parents are not organized at all.  I had two kids come to school on a field trip day without lunches this week.  Parents don't show up at conferences.  Phone numbers don't work.  I don't hear back from parents when I email them. I send home a weekly letter with upcoming dates and information and they have no idea what's happening at school or when.  It is incredibly frustrating.

bradysalon - what the actual f***?! That's terrifying. I hope you've told the administration because that is just wrong.

mrscatfarmer13 YAY for a great ultrasound!!!

cutay, I am so sorry to hear about your MIL's sister, the house, and the pup. So incredibly sad. Keeping them in my T&P today.

I have zero motivation today, especially when my brain keeps reminding me we could have stayed in bed watching the Star Wars marathon. Shut up, brain.

Not a TP, just a minor vent: My MIL asked H if I've gained any weight yet. (She's a lovely woman most of the time but sometimes the filter isn't always working...)

[belle0720]

bradysalon WTF! Waiting by your car is not okay. I would definitely talk to the administration about it if you haven't already.

mrscatfarmer13 Yay for the good ultrasound!

cutay How horrible, sending positive thoughts her way.

[belle0720]

Well I'm officially nauseous every hour or two if I'm not eating. Yesterday we went to the store to stock up on a bunch of healthy snacks so I'm not dying at work all day. I feel like I'm going to eat them all by lunch time though.

Our kitchen perimeter countertops are going in today, I can't wait to see how they look! We're also going to the farmer's market for dinner today which is always fun. And I'm so glad that this week is almost over, I feel like it's really dragged!

[veganontuesdays]

Oh wow bradysalon, that is so intense!!! Yikes.

[veganontuesdays]

Congrats on your good ultrasound! mrscatfarmer13,

[leekpartyof2]

So many throat punches to stupid parents, bradysalon, sarahandben108.
Congrats on a good ultrasound, mrscatfarmer13.
belle0720, add me to the nausea list. I'm trying to keep eating, but it's hard when nothing sounds good and the super-sonic sense of smell has also kicked in.

[cutay]

I'm also nauseated ALL the time unless I'm eating. I'm currently heating up mozzarella sticks because it's the only thing that sounded good.

[veganontuesdays]

Definitely nauseous all the time now and I am trying HARD not to compare to my last pregnancy. I know all pregnancies can be different but just thinking about how long I was sick for last time has actually got me all up in my sad feelz.

I find the only way I feel good is stuffing my face.  If I have gone too long without eating I am a nauseous mess. So enjoy the mozzarella sticks!

[belle0720]

veganontuesdays I've been thinking the same thing, at 10 weeks I started feeling great again so I'm looking forward to that milestone.

Also, I'm drinking this "Pink Stork" morning sickness tea right now for the first time and it really seems to be helping me feel better. Tastes good too!

I'm also constantly comparing but so far they are so different. I'm so mad at myself for not having MS at all last time. I just took a shower and immediately had to lay down bc I'm so dizzy. That combined with chasing a toddler around and H being at work until 10 or 11 at night is making for really long days this time.

[veganontuesdays]

That's it. I am making a pregnancy comparison thread. Get in there.

[babydsmama]

I can't wait until we're all over this hump.

[leekpartyof2]

I'm jealous of all you who have been through this before. Since this is my first pregnancy, I'm struggling with things that I 'knew' in an academic sense, and how they are in reality. It's so much worse than I thought to feel sick almost all the time and not knowing when there might be an end in sight. (sorry, I know this is whiny, but I have to pretend I'm ok for so much of the day that this is my safe space, so to speak!)

Those sound amazing right now. 

[leekpartyof2]

belle0720, I was looking at that tea and it seemed expensive so I didn't get it. But maybe I'll bite the bullet. My grapefruit/ginger/sparkling water blend isn't quite cutting it this morning.

[babydsmama]

leekpartyof2 feel free to vent! I reread my first post about comparing the 2 pregnancies and read it as very woe is me but I'm feeling really terrible today and as you said this is a safe space. Bahaha so woe is me aka FF button through first tri please!

Don't you dare apologize. My last pregnancy (looking back on it) I think that I truly went through some prenatal depression when I was feeling this sick without an end in sight. It's the most helpless feeling. I tried explaining it to my H as the WORST hangover ever experienced but then remove the fact that greasy McDonalds will help, and that you can sleep it off and feel better tomorrow. There is no feeling better tomorrow.

That's a pretty good description and I really didn't get too many hangovers! I explained it to DH yesterday that when you have a stomach thing, if you throw up, you'll generally feel better. But that's not the case with this and that's what's so demoralizing. It's nice to be reminded that I'm not alone.

I have to go find a gown for an Army Ball we're going to at the end of the month. I'm going to Operation Deploy the Dress today to try on some free ones since I don't really want to buy something new that I might just wear one time.
Any way wish me luck. I went last week and didn't find anything I liked, but the volunteers assured me that they get new stuff everyday so I'm trying again. 😊

Hugs to all who are feeling really sick right now.

A general feeling of being hungover is a great way to describe pregnancy. Just the blah feeling without the fun the night before.

[kensie5226]

I gotta TP all day nausea. I've lost 7lbs. Today I puked in my garbage at my desk. Thankfully I have a very sweet and understanding co-worker.

[typo31]

Ugh it sounds like a lot of us are on the struggle bus together today!

My husband just left for a bachelor weekend trip through Sunday night, and I was a total basketcase saying good-bye to him today - I could not stop crying. I usually thrive having the house to myself, doing all my puttering tasks and eating takeout in front of the TV. But the idea of being alone here all weekend, feeling so shitty and being unable to do even the most mundane house work and dog walks due to nausea/fatigue/anxiety... I feel so overwhelmed and helpless. Pity Party!
