MondayWhines and Wins

[xanthepants]

Whine: I totally wanted to eyeroll at Pistol packing Cousin who claims someone was jiggling her door this weekend so she went after him with her gun in the middle of the day and now is completely paranoid she is going to be robbed. We had to talk her down that we doubted someone who 1. heard dogs barking and 2. was chased offsite by someone with a gun was going to attempt to break in yet again. That would be the dumbest crook around, but you cannot convince her of that, because the world is out to get her stuff. I'm convinced it was the UPS guy. She immediately was trying to convince us to go and buy some guns before they get banned. Sigh.

Win: I get to see my Seester and Mom in 4 days! Happy dance.

[nursedesi]

Whine: I have laryngitis and have been having a million migraines lately

Win: we bought a tv for our room so I've been able to watch tv in bed lately

Whine: crazy busy with appts this week

Win: one of them is out of town and we will be able to get some yummy food

[origamimommy]

Whine: I have SO much to do on my last week.

Win: If I don't get it done, nothing's going to happen, sooo...

Whine: I already had to request time off at work because Tyler's daycare is closed from Christmas Day until January 4th.

Win: They were completely cool with it and said family comes first, no matter what. Umm...what??!?!?!

Whine: After a weird incident with a daycare we were looking at, we decided to keep Tyler where he is and put the new baby in the same center. It's going to be a fortune every month and will eat up every last penny of my raise.

Win: At least I got the raise? And Tyler won't have to move. Plus I really do love his current center and it's close to work. I think it's the right decision, but ugh! ...Money...

Win / Whine: We will only have to pay for daycare for 2 for one year, because Tyler will start kindergarten. HOW, LORD, HOW am I already planning for Kindergarten?? #allthetears

[xanthepants]

nursedesi,Oh no! about the migraines. Do you take anything for them? I'm sorry girl - feel better.

I take amitriptyline every day and imitrex when I get them. I'm going Friday to have my dr increase my amitriptyline. I took imitrex last month 8 times and 4 times already this month.

I'm so over it!

How have your migraines been lately?

[paddyb]

whine: I am trying to put together a special calendar for my sister but half the pictures i have found aren't the right size.

win: I got to eat lunch with my H today while out running errands.

[roo1582]

Win: Only 4 more days of work left until my 2 week Christmas break.

Whine: I have to deal with my job for 4 more days.

Win: I applied to one position with my company last week, and have at least one meeting this week to meet with managers for other open positions.

Whine: I haven't heard anything back from the HR person responsible for the position I applied for. So since I'll be out of office after this week, it looks like I won't hear anything until after Christmas. Also, one of my work friends is applying for the same position so I feel slightly at odds about applying for it in the first place. Although, we'll see what happens...if its meant to be...

Whine: Kayleigh has been miserable about eating lately. She's basically existing off of berries and yogurt. I'm tired of fighting with her to eat her veggies and some meat.

Whine: I've been eating miserably here and my pants are getting tight and I'm developing a good muffin top. But I have no desire to eat anything healthy because its just seems so blah right now.

Win: I did join a gym because my company recently decided to pay up to $30 a month for gym memberships. At least if I don't go, I'm not losing any money on it...

[bliz1712]

Whine: I copied the calendar I made for my Mom to also give to my MIL. I remembered to change some photos out and include their family instead of just my parents. However, I forgot to change out the birthdays and anniversaries, so their calendar has my parent's and brothers stuff. lol

Win: I have only a few people left to buy for.

Whine: A close friend of ours is cheating on his wife. She apparently is going to be leaving him and asked for a place to stay. I guess time will tell. He's such a douche.

Win: Our get together for Christmas are before or after so we should be able to have as much time to ourselves as we want. Although I'll be happy to go wherever we get invited should they invite us.

[xanthepants]

nursedesi, Thanks for asking, mine are slightly better. I went back on all the drugs and am back on my ridiculously expensive BC. So I'm about at 1 a week or so. Which is great for me. I'm ready to get off the sleeping pills though. Come January appt. I'm going to asked if I can start weaning off.

[paddyb]

another win: we will be closing tomorrow!!!!

[xanthepants]

paddyb, Yippee!

[junkytrunk]

Whine: I'm still pregnant

Win: I'm grateful I've made it this far, being that M came early.

Whine: I know if she isn't here by Thursday, I could probably choose to be induced that day (which would be best since I know we'd be home by Christmas) but my Hs family's Christmas is at our house on Saturday and i don't think he'd want to be dealing with that too. Since I might not be home for that. I'm ok not being there.

Win: at least she will be here by Christmas!

[trixi282]

whine: i was super sick Saturday night and have to lysol the house...

Win: i feel loads better today, and still "worked from home" even though i didnt do much work

Double Whine: H decided to go into work tonight so I'm on my own with the girls 4 nights this week... and it seems like E now has pink eye that slowly developed over the course of the day.
So i had to call IL's to ask for another big favor to see if they'll come chill with Joey for awhile so i can take her to Urgent care.

Win: any hours H works today will be time and a half!

Whine: i'm not sure how/who will be staying home with E tomorrow. I already have no PTO and H doesn't either... maybe we can work something out that allows me to still go in, because i have a meeting tomorrow I don't want to miss (although i could if I had to).

[heatherbee]

Whine: why is my 3 year old being so awful lately ?! Please someone tell me it's not just my kid. He has had so much attitude and spends half of his waking hours being defiant and yelling at me and the other half in timeout I feel like ....

Win: My 1 year old hasn't reached total jerk phase yet and her mini tantrums are still cute.

[cbear]

Whine: I forgot the puppy neediness motn lol

Win: he's cute

Win: this is my last week, then 2 off!!!

origamimommy did you not accept the new job?? I must have missed your final decision

[origamimommy]

cbear I accepted it! The raise I was referring to was the new job.

[roo1582]

heatherbee - Not just your kid. Mine is horrible. I swear we broke her at some point because this can't be normal.

Oh awesome!!! How did your old boss/job take the news??

[trixi282]

Whine: it's definitely pink eye... in both eyes.  Poor Emme.
Win:  She took the eye drops like a champ, thankfully!  Let's hope tomorrow is the same.

Win: H said he could stay home most of the day and will call tomorrow and let them know he's just coming in late...

Whine: it counters the hours he worked tonight, so no time+half...

Win: at least he won't lose hours!

Win:  Joey seems to have not gotten our sickness - I think the throw up at IL's house was a fluke from a coughing fit.  

[summergirl1211]

Whine: We STILL don't have our Christmas tree. My H wanted to order it online this year and it's taking forever.

Win: It'll be here tonight though!

Whine: I'm still waiting on the big sale I've been working since April. They've promised us a million times it would come in and still nothing.

Win: Their legal team is actually reviewing it today and the procurement manager promised it to us tomorrow. I really hope it comes in this time because the deadline is Thursday!

Whine: Work sucks. And it's only Tuesday. And it's our sales close week for 2015, which means lots of chaos.

Win: But I'm taking off between Christmas and New Year's and I can't wait!

[laurski81]

Whine: Neither kid napped yesterday so they were miserable when I got home from work last night.
Win: They were both out cold by 7:30pm
Whine: Cece was still up 3 times last night
Win: Cece was ONLY up 3 times last night and put herself back down one of those times. The other two only took about 15 minutes each with me rocking her. Henry slept straight through to the morning!
Whine: My H and I were both so exhausted after getting them to bed we didn't even use that to our advantage to have some fun together and it was our anniversary.
Win: We were in bed by 9pm instead.

[paddyb]

whine: Henry was hell last night and was screaming/crying/refusing to go to bed until 11 pm last night. It was past my bed time (and obviously WAY past his).

[aimeefarrahfowler]

Whine: Team awful 3-year-old. He goes from being a terror, hitting T and screaming at everything to being super sweet and wanting me to pick him up all the time and hold him. He's also in this weird nap phase where if he takes a nap he's up until 10pm but if he doesn't take a nap he makes everyone miserable from like 4pm to bedtime.

Win: We finally got a new dryer over the weekend! Our old one broke months ago. So nice not to have to hang up all my clothes to air dry! I can do more than one load of laundry a day! And they come out all nice and soft, not stiff.

Whine: T managed to pull the drawer front off the silverware drawer over the weekend. Kids are literally tearing my house apart.

Win: I'm off work from the 24th to 30th!

Whine: Seriously need to buy Christmas presents. As soon as I decide what to buy...

[origamimommy]

cbear, they seemed okay with it at first, but now they're seriously pissing me the fuck off.

They are expecting me to complete all of the work that would have been due from now until January (end of January). They keep piling more and more work on me and expecting me to finish by Friday, and I promise, it's not happening. The problem is that she keeps scheduling review meetings to go over all of the work I've done, and I am not working at home right now. If I'm honest, I am not really working at work either, haha!

I will get done what I can and then peace out at 2pm on Friday. I am so over it at this point.

[roo1582]

Whine: A grilled cheese food truck came to my office today but the line is beyond crazy and probably an hour long wait. So I sit here grilled cheese-less

[mrsplaydoh]

It's a new week but I'm going to add to it...
Just got back from Dr. visit...

Whine: Dahlia has pink eye and cannot perform in her ballet performance tonight or go to school tomorrow which is her Christmas party.

Whine: Juno has an ear infection in her right ear and loathes taking medicine, we have to wrap her like a cat at the vet and shoot it down her throat hoping she doesnt throw it back up, that'll be fun for the next week.

Whine: I didn't catch on yesterday morning that Dahlia had pink eye since she's never had it before, just thought her eye was runny from her cold she's been fighting all week so I was wiping away the drips with my hand all day until I noticed redness above and below her eye and some gunk in the corner. F!

Win: They're both on meds and should be feeling good for Christmas Fx

Whine: I'll probable have pink eye for Christmas/my birthday

Whine: Husband also has a sinus infection thing going on, Serenity Now!!

[junkytrunk]

mrsplaydoh I caught pink eye from M and had it on my birthday and thanksgiving, so I feel your pain. Just start putting the drops in your eyes if you notice anything! 2 drops for adults, 1 for kids. Hopefully you don't catch it too!

[jodielyn10]

Whine: you know you haven't had enough time to get on the board when you start reading from the top only to realize half-way in that it's from LAST week.

Win: Eli got over the bronchitis and teething that was waking him up at 5:15 at the LATEST every single day for the last 3 weeks. He actually slept until 6:30 on Sunday.

Whine: As I get excited that I got to sleep in until 6:30 on a Sunday I start to wonder where it all went wrong. What has my life become?

Win: Today we had a white elephant gift exchange at work and I scored a really nice bottle of wine!

Whine: I originally had a bottle of really nice bourbon that would have been my H's stocking stuffer (I always get him some sort of booze for xmas) but it was stolen from me in the last round.

Win: Wine!

Win: Tomorrow is my Friday!

[somethingcleverer]

I hope everyone stays healthy for your birthday and Christmas mrsplaydoh

[laurski81]

I'll keep this going...

Whine: Cece originally fell asleep at 8pm last night to only wake up at 10ish and was up until past midnight. It may be a tooth coming in or she's just a jerk.
Win: My H actually got up and took over for me and let me get back to bed at 11:30pm and he stayed with her until she finally fell asleep after midnight.
Whine: I'm getting sick again
Win: Today is my Friday and I'm planning on leaving early as well.
Win: If I can shake this cold and the kids aren't sick; I am taking them tomorrow to the Yankee candle thing I wanted to do weeks ago and my H can build their kitchen while we are gone.
Whine: It's supposed to rain tomorrow and that would just royally suck when carting two kids around.
