TW Tuesday

[telos]

Who gets your nomination today?

[bibliothecary]

SNOW.

[jordanelizabeth]

The people still calling into my office knowing we are located in the snowed in area. I am one of three people set up to work from home so it's a little crazy.

[vtcnicely]

McDonalds for advertising 2 for $3 egg mcmuffins on this site. Seriously, we're a pregnancy board I don't need your cravings!

[skinandbones]

I'm trying to reschedule this home safety study with a potential foster home. My NT scan and midwife appointment are the same day/time. This woman is giving me a hard time because she needed to take off work. Lady, I've explained it's a time sensitive medical appointment and have offered to work around your schedule for the next appointment.

[carabassa]

For my twatwaffle today I nominate my stomach.

Before becoming pregnant, I would eat a bowl of oatmeal in the morning and be satisfied for 3 or 4 hours until lunch.

Now, I eat my bowl of oatmeal (a slightly larger serving), and within 20 minutes my stomach is like, "oh hey, hi, hey, hello, HEY THERE. Yea hi. So the oatmeal was cute 'n all, but uh, what's next? Maybe some hash-browns? Eggs? Bacon? Oh! How about you make me some pancakes."

Seriously, stomach? I FED YOU 20 MINUTES AGO.

[mommabakes]

Winter. I am seriously over the snow, wind, cold temps, ice, etc.

[shannonabigail]

The state of Georgia for not ever getting snow so I have to go to work.

[malelz]

My boss for fucking up my schedule royally. He has me closing 4 out of 5 shifts this week and the other 2 managers only have to close twice. It's not like I want to spend time with my family or anything.

[telos]

So I just registered DS and DD for the same preschool next year (hooray!) - DS will be in pre-K and DD will be in a play-based program for potty trained two-and-a-half year olds (fingers crossed). The best part is, the flexible before and after childcare program is awesome, and they'll be in the program together and break off for "school."

TW? The infant/toddler waitlist at this school. They're currently only accepting "applicants" who will be under 12 weeks old in March 2016. So now I feel like a total slacker because my fetus missed the waitlist. WTH?

[Deleted]

My favorite co-worker who told me she couldn't do lunch. Then I was asked by the most hated co-worker to cover phones so she could go to lunch with my favorite co-worker.

Seriously, what the hell is going on? Is this the twilight zone? We haven't done lunch in 2 weeks and yet you're going with HER?

I want to cry. Maybe I should have posted this, in things that made me cry.

Creepy internet hugs. I have a friend (we use to work together) who would always make lunch these lunch plans. I would then rearrange my schedule so I could go. It never failed that she would cancel. I finally stopped making lunch plans. Now when she mentions going to lunch I'm like maybe?? 

It sucks when you feel like you are being put off by someone.

Wait, so they are wait listing fetuses that don't even exist yet? How does that work!

[stephanie012]

The idiot who is driving around in a rental car during a state of emergency who just crashed into the side of DHs plow truck. When the cop asked why he was on the road, the guy said he was driving around trying to find someone to shovel his driveway...wtf???

I know, right?!  I joined a childcare waitlist when I was pregnant with DS and you had to have a doctor's note confirming the pregnancy to hold a spot.  It makes no sense that, in the first trimester, my kid can't even get on the waitlist.  I mean - I'd understand if they told me there'd be no openings until March 2016, we'd make other arrangements for a few months, but my kid's too old?  For heaven's sake, it's the size of a plum.

So... what do you need... an affadavit that you are having unprotected sex and expect to be pregnant in the next few months, but not TOO soon? So bizarre.

My childcare search is so frustrating to but only because I'm new in town and don't know what I'm doing.

Are you certain they don't mean newborns who are under 3months old? Accepting fetal applications just seems like something from the twilight zone.

[daffodil428]

I nominate myself for tw. My poor husband has been outside clearing the snow for an hour, but I'm inside. I feel guilty, but also think it's very cute he is concerned.

I cleaned up inside for what it's worth, but still feeling like a tw.

[notelsie]

People at work who think it is my job to do their jobs. Get off your lazy asses.

Oh, I am certain. I told the director at the open house that it was ridiculous (in the nicest way possible, because I still want my kids to go to there). It's actually pretty common IME for unborn children to be put on a waitlist for enrollment - but you're just on a waitlist and when a spot opens up, it opens up. Sometimes (depending on the age/program) that can take longer than a year. My suspicion is that their waitlist just got way too long and unmanageable (possibly, because they don't require that the child actually exist) and so they made the decision just to suspend all waitlist applicants for a while -- whittle down the current waitlist -- and start accepting the younger kids in 2016, to fill the open infant-level spots.  The way she phrased it wins a TW nomination, to say the least. 

[noname]

To my coworker that I share an office with. She's tormenting me with lunch fumes. every. day. I swear she eats the smelliest foods- today gyro salad, yesterday cabbage soup. I'm dying trying to keep myself from dry heaving at my desk.

[skylark12]

Okay it's officially the dog again. She was outside playing with a frozen turd. And is now begging to go back out.

[divinemsbee]

@mrspanpan Your dog is too cute? What breed is it? H and I have been going back and forth on getting a larger dog in a couple of years, so, of course, I'm doing research.

Mine is me, we went to Arby's for lunch (H did awesome on his PT test so we celebrated) and when I was getting out of the car the bag broke and I lost an entire order of curly fries. On the ground. Boo.

i would go back and get more.  curly fries are the only thing that keeps arby's still in business, i'm convinced.

Me too. I cry over food. A lot.

[snyder124]

My snot factory of a nose . As if I don't have a hard enough time sleeping already. Oh and the nurse at my work who blatantly told me I looked like shit last night . Thanks for that .

[flippinchica]

My TW is the guys working on the plumbing. They had to dig under our house to fix the pipe. Now there is extra dirt they need to haul away so they showed up this AM and woke me up to move my car so they could bring the truck around to load it. Problem is my husband's motorcycle was in the way and he was at work. I don't ride the thing so I don't know how to move it and I felt like the clueless female. I called him and he was all pissy about it, not really at me but I was the one on the phone with him and talking to the guys. I hate getting put in the middle. He ended up being able to come home for a minute and took it to work and left the car parked on the street but not the shenanagins I wanted to wake up to.

[jgesi]

My TW nomination goes to superbowl fans that are invading my city! I need to find a cute shirt for our pregnancy announcement picture, but the mall is so close to the stadium, and there are SO many people. Not to mentioned they all seem to feel so entitled, cause they paid a lot to be here and what not. Be nice or GTFO!

Edit: I'm too mad to spell correctly.

[aotto87]

Tuesday is the TW.

WHY YOU NOT FRIDAY!!!!
