BF Monday 4/13

[yalllow]

Is it Monday again?? Dammit!

[fishbulb]

We finally sold my single girl convertible yesterday, which makes me happy and sad. The buyers won't be picking it up until Wednesday so I went out to start it this morning to move it to the garage it wouldn't turn over. I think they left the overhead lights on overnight and drained the battery. At least I hope it's just that.

[yalllow]

I feel like we had no weekend at all. Friday we took the 3 year old and baby to his school for "Book Bingo" and my kid Bingo'ed twice and then melted down when he couldn't have 30 books he had picked up. So, we made a grand exit early. In all, for being one of the youngest there, I thought his attention span was pretty good.

Then Saturday we SPENT ALL DAY breaking down his convertible crib and made it into a full size bed. Went 3 different places to find a fucking mattress. Why is this so hard?!?!? Thought hubs and I were going to kill each other. 

Sunday we spent the majority of the day outside doing chores, getting the house ready to plant the garden and flowers. 

Monday again. 

[karebear]

Oh do I have a bitch!!! DH called me Friday night asking to go to his aunt's lake house with his brother to help get some things cleaned up and do some projects for them on Saturday. Fine...even though its last minute notice. He said he would be home on Sunday arond 12 so I could grocery shop and meal prep. He then told me Sunday that he was going to leave around 1pm and be home. I went to visit a friend and called him at 2:45pm. He was FISHING! WTF Get ur ass home. Dip shit decided to not come home till 7pm. Had to wait till LO napped and went grocery shopping and did not get to meal prep. I was livid he did that to me and took the whole weekend for himself. I would love to leave for a weekend and go somewhere and relax, but he took advantage and did not communicate or even consider I have 2 days for my weekend and to get some things done. I gave him Friday night and Saturday and he couldn't even respect me enough to be home on time.

karebear do we have the same husband? H does this shit to me all the time, not for a whole weekend, but anytime he does anything. His reasoning is because he knows I'd get mad anyways so it's easier to tell me something for example the time I want him to be home rather then the real time. This has developed some real trust issues with me, I don't like him doing anything because I can always predict how it's gonna turn out.

Exactly. I don't want him going out there again without me and I feel his brother was also a bad influence because he doesnt want to go home to his girlfriend. How can you not care about your partners feelings and just say " Well I know you're going to be mad, so I might as well just take full advantage!" I dont get men!

I always need a vacation from my weekends! so busy, and not even by choice. I love saying 'no' to things but sometimes I hafta go.
I hate that I had to go to work today for so many reasons. I'm sick, and I think LO is a bit under the weather too. he was sooooooo cute and so hard to leave this morning. he didn't want to let go of me when we got to grandma's house! It was so hard to hand him over. being a working mom sucks so bad. so bad. sosososososososososooooo bad.
LO even slept in late....if I coulda called off I would have gotten some extra sleep! lo never sleeps in. (I had a client I couldn't cancel). wahhhhhh
and I have court tomorrow and it's LO's birthday so I feel bad I don't get to spend the day with him. I'll have to pack him some extra special goodies for grandmas house.

[kimberpoo]

ohandplusalso, you girls will get a giggle out of this:
I was super stuffed up yesterday and it was orthodox easter, which is essentially celebrated with TABLES of food. but you know how it's hard to eat and hear when you are really congested?
I spent the entire day mouth-breathing while I ate. *gasp snort* *open mouth chewing* *gasp* *cough* *open mouth chew* it was SO awkward. I felt like I was in middle school and I was that mouth-breather all the other kids pointed and laughed at. then to top it off, I couldn't hear squat. so *cough gasp* *open mouth chewing* "what? ehhh? Say it again? louder!" * chomp chew snort*

We were supposed to get carpet installed in the living room last week. We moved all the furniture and crap into the kitchen the night before. The next day, an hour before they were supposed to be here, they called to say there was something wrong with it and they couldn't install, it would have to be re-ordered.

So we had to drag enough stuff back in to live for the next week or so, but there is still stuff piled in the kitchen. So far they haven't called with an installation date yet, but our new counters in the kitchen are being installed on Friday. If the carpet isn't in by then, we'll have to re-schedule the counters because there isn't room to install with all of the living room stuff in the kitchen.

I love the end result of remodeling, but the during is so stressful.

I'm just sick of being tired. I need more energy.

 sanibel21, I hear ya!  For me, I think a lot of it is diet - I've been finding it hard to eat healthy during the day (breakfast, lunch and snacks) - I just shove whatever I have time for in my mouth - which is often something too sugary and full of empty calories - not things good for energy.  :/  So in an effort to get more fruit and veggies in me, I bought a nutra ninja a couple weeks ago and have been enjoying green smoothies (frozen fruit + baby spinach/kale + protein powder).  I don't know if it's true or just to make me feel better about buying it, but I *DO* think I feel better when I have one in the morning and/or as an afternoon snack.

[nattybumppo]

I kind of hate my new washing machine. It's super loud (or at least much louder than my last one). But I doubt I can return it because it's loud. Or maybe I can? Regardless, sounds like a hassle and how would I know any other one wouldn't be as loud. *sigh*

Two guys were taking up one of the benches at the gym to rest their weights on it between sets. That is so rude. There are a limited number of benches and I needed to use one. They may or may not have gotten glared at.

Took LO to the park yesterday and despite the sign that says all pets must be on a leash, there were at least four dogs off leashes.

As I was approaching two older men, both with un-leashed dogs, the one dog started walking toward us so I kind of swerved the stroller around him as I walked by. The one guy looked at me and I normally smile as I pass people but I just glared at him.

I myself am not super comfortable around dogs I don't know, and I shouldn't have to worry whether one of them might approach LO...even if friendly, she doesn't know that. Why do people think their shit doesn't stink? Leash your damn dogs, or go to the DOG park which is a mile away. I don't care if your dog is friendly, no one else knows that, and you never know what might make your dog aggressive or set him off.

[lakecountrygal]

1. DS is refusing to sleep tonight

2. It's 1:40am and the litter box stinks because DH won't clean it

3. I have to work a 12 hour day today (Tuesday) and am dreading it beyond belief.

Despite our town having a leash law there is this one old lady who goes for walks with her dog without a leash all the time. I secretly hope that dog gets taught a lesson by some other dog some day. That's mean of me but commmme on just because you're old doesn't mean you don't have to follow the rules. She lets the dog shit in people's yards and doesn't pick it up she just looks around to make sure no one is watching.

nattybumppo I've been thinking about getting something for smoothies! I wouldn't care if the effect was placebo or not as long as there was an effect. Haha.

Maybe this is an UO, but I wish leash laws were enforced more.  I hate dogs off leash in a general public setting.  I'm not uncomfortable with dogs in general, but when my LOs are around, you can bet I am.

DD1 *LOVES* dogs and we've worked really hard to get her to ask people first if it's okay if she pets their dog, but if we're at a park and she sees a dog, sometimes she runs over to the area and how do I know how your unleashed dog will react to my 3 year old running towards it?  (And how confident are *YOU* (dog owner) as to how your dog will react to children running towards it??)

Leash your dog and please clean up after it.  Cleaning dog poop out of stroller wheels sucks.

It would also help if I could stop waking up randomly between 12 and 2 every night.  I thought it was just a thing while DH was gone, but it has been continuing.  My children are sleeping through the night but evidently I am not.  Ugh.

Not being able to sleep when you finally can is the WORST!!

[sanibel21]

I also hate dogs off leashes. I don't know your dog. I don't need the anxiety of wondering if its gonna snap on my child.

There was a leashed dog in the hardware store over the weekend and it was staring at LO. Not wagging its tail. I was not happy.

Totally agree. My LO is not a fan of dogs. Not really sure why, but when one comes up to her it's like instant terrified paralysis. 

If they're leashed and I approach to pet them, she's okay. 

[zandeela]

I hate taking my dog to a park just to find someone not keeping their dog on a leash. My dogs is great with people but really does not like other dogs which is why I don't take him to a dog park. At one park I was running and someone's off leash dog ran across the street to intercept us, I had to stop and grab my dogs mouth to keep him from eating the other dog. The owner then has the nerve to yell at me for bringing an unfriendly dog to the park. I reminded them that this is not a leash free park and I would appreciate it if they would gain some control of their dog before mine decides to eat it.

I hate stupid people

[linzerd]

I think I have a serious neck problem brewing. I think it is cervical stenosis and it is scaring the crap out of me. Why must my spine hate me?

[bebeski]

My BF is late. I don't know if it's teething or something else...E is now going on night #3 of waking up every 1.5 hours at night. I feel like I put in my time of waking up every 45 min at night when she was a newborn! Waaahhhh I'm tired too! And eating lots of chocolate and junk because I'm too tired to give a crap about eating healthy right now.

[jtizzay]

I can't believe I'm already complaining but my stomach is a mess. Gassy. Bloated. Holy pg hormones. Already??

[Deleted]

I am 100% on board with leashing your dog. Dogs can be unpredictable especially when startled. Taking a dog off the leash at a park where there are kids around is dangerous. That dog will likely get put down if it happens to attack one of them. I sure as hell would seek maximum punishment for a dog attack on one of my kids. No shame either. It is the owners responsibility to control their dog and that cannot be done when they are off a leash.
