Early Bird Gets The TP/UO

[melody330]

Anyone else awake at this ungodly hour? I've been up since 4:15 because I fell asleep at 8:00 last night. Thankfully DS didn't have nightmares and STTN.

Anyway, TPs or UOs usually go together. So share 'em if you've got 'em!

[melody330]

My TP is for my body. I feel all the signs of a fever. Chills, sweats, achy, but no actual fever.

I guess I have an UO too. My partner teacher texted me a very long message about a kid last night. A few hours later I still hasn't responded so she just forwarded again. It wasn't anything urgent, and could have been handled today. I just didn't have the energy to respond, and two year old at home after working a full work day has be so run down. GIVE ME A LITTLE WHILE TO GET BACK TO YOU DAMMIT! don't send the GD test again

Mornin. The 2 year old was crying on and off for over an hour, so now I'm up. She usually goes right back to sleep for H, but he'd already been in to visit her twice in the night. She always asks me for snuggles so now I'm fully awake and starving. Debating if I should try to go back to bed after a snack or not.

TP to H's work travel. He has to go to L.A. next week. It was supposed to be one day of meetings, maybe 2, which generally means at least 3 days with travel time since we're east coast. Now they've added another meeting so he'll be gone all week. I've known it was coming and I've been trying to just not think about it, but now it's next week and it's getting me down.

[melody330]

katelou same here. I'm surprised I slept through the dogs and DH coming to bed last night. I'm so worn down!

[melody330]

comicSans work travel is the worst. DH has to go to Germany about once a year and I dread it.

Do you have family or friends who can come help out? I always find that solo parenting during bath/bedtime is the hardest.

No family nearby, but we'll try to get together with friends once or twice. That time between nap and bedtime is sooo long. Not our first rodeo though. We'll survive, but I'm dreading it. And of course she's being thoroughly 2 this morning so that doesn't help my anticipation of next week.

[acorn99]

I have minimal TPs today. I think I have been whining and complaining too much lately, and I need to be more optimistic.

I do have a UO: the terms sis/sissy need to fuck right off. Whenever I hear someone use that term rather than just the word sister, it is like nails on a chalkboard in my brain.

[Ray]

I hear you with the sissy thing @acorn.

I have no TPs today. I am still super pumped over LED's baby birthing lol that and we are leaving to go camping today until Monday. I absolutely LOVE out travel trailer and I can't wait to just chillax I have to prep the house just in case we get a showing while we're gone first though lol.

And I have chocolate covered peanuts. So...

Also - I just scored a HUGE box of 0-3 month clothes for 25$ !!! There is easily like 65+ things in here. Woot!!!

[sarcaztic10]

No TP right now.

I got up to pee at 3 am and then couldn't fall back asleep. I am exhausted every day now and all I want to do is go to sleep as son as I get home but I cant.

[housecarder]

Up and down all night so I am tired and cranky. Today seems like it's going to be a vomiting day. I'd normally just hide in my room once H gets home but DD has her "end of year celebration" tonight. Basically her kindergarten graduation, and I'm not going to miss that. So I need to try and get ahead of the nausea. Ugh.

[madamewaffles]

TP to my body. I've been waking up every morning for the last 3 nights at 2:30 with horrible GI cramps, go #2 a little, and then feel fine. Falling asleep after that is a nightmare!

I have a friend who is more of a couple friend/family friend. She's DH's childhood bff's wife. She has this very boisterous persona where she prides herself on being "sassy" or "keeping it real" or something. Anyway, she says Sissy, Sister-Friend, Seeser :/ and SeeSee all for sister (she has two girls). She has all these words I can't stand. It's so phony and odd.

[sarcaztic10]

I have to keep telling myself that it would be rude to yell STFU to everyone around me. I really cant take the constant conversation about the latest Survivor episode or how they went to their moms house and got leftovers and so on.

I just want them to be quiet!!! Its obviously time to invest in some work headphones so i can block out the noise.

UO: Not sure if this is a really a UO or not but I can't stand it when adults call their Mothers and Fathers Mama and Daddy in conversation to other adults. Example "I went over to Mama's house and had dinner and Daddy said..."

I call my Mother Mom and if I talk about her to others she is always just called 'my Mom'.

[rungirlrun]

I can't really complain bc this trip is for fun, but the last thing I want to do is get on a 6 hr red eye at 11pm tonight. DS is going to be so overtired that he will be crazy. But the good news is I had a dr appointment yesterday and she gave me strict orders to make sure my H does all the heavy lifting and toddler chasing. So I'll take that as a win!

[TnT10]

I'm with you ladies on not sleeping so well, ugh! I hope everyone can get some rest tonight.

TP to my body today: I've just felt really uncomfortable and like somethings off since last night. My back is killing me (that's nothing really new but this is up higher than usual), I am very nauseous (haven't been at all since 1st Tri), pressure on my lady bits, and just all around am so uncomfortable today. I've been having some cramping and BX off and on too. I stayed home from work so far and have been laying around, not much has changed. Should I call?!? I don't want to be the crazy lady but bleh.

[lostinfaith225]

Tp to my body too. I think I have restless leg syndrome. Every night when I lay on the couch.

Constipated and it makes me nauseated. Le sigh. The good news is ds is having a sleep over at the inlaws tonight. Taking him after his eye appt this morning.

I'm also on team waking up 400 times a night.

[cavewmn]

I was planning to stop off at my ob office after dropping off DH. I forgot....
I loathe narrow one way streets with both side car parking......

Really wanting to get stuff off my plate but instead it seems more is being added.

[cavewmn]

I have one brother who calls me sis/sissy. But I think it is because anytime he tries to call me by name it usually isn't my own. lol

[cabbagecabbage]

My UO that probably isn't all that U. I can handle the belly touching. I am fine with saying "boy," "July," "I think we've picked but we're keeping it a secret for now." For whatever reason, I cannot stand how every single person I encounter asks, "How are you *feeling*?" with all this genuine concern. I just hate having to answer, "fine." I don't want to go into a tirade or lie but what do they want? I'm super pregnant. Of course I'm fucking miserable. Is it like a test to see if I'm gracious enough to lie? And I don't even get mad at the people. They're being nice. It's just such an annoying question and I get it multiple times a day.

[housecarder]

TnT10 if water, moving, etc doesn't relieve it you can call and they can put you on the monitors.

I usually resort to "I'm hanging in there. Only 4 weeks to go" or something.

sarcaztic10, yeah mommy and daddy sound very juvenile esp now that I have a kid who calls me mommy. Works for a 2 year old, not so much for a 32 year old. My BIL calls his parents mommy and daddy. It's kind of odd but fits him so I hardly notice it.

[housecarder]

So my son just came up and goes "Hey smell this finger" I asked why and he goes "Because it was in my butt!" and laughed. Boys are so gross sometimes.

People are weird, especially strangers. Yesterday a cashier at Walgreens looked genuinely disappointed when I answered her question of when baby is due ("About a month from now.") Her response, "Oh. You are moving much slower than I would have guessed for someone only 8 months along." WTF? Only? Also, is there a mandated speed in which I am expected to walk at until it's allowed for me to be "slow?"

I still call my parents mommy and daddy but only to them. Just never made the transition. But if I'm talking to someone else I say "my mom" or "my dad".

I think calling your SO "mom or dad" is weird. My XH's parents did this. Like my MIL would be like "Hey dad can you come here?" to her husband. I get saying it to your kids, like "hey go tell Daddy dinner is ready" but I call my husband by his name or sometimes a pet name.

Asking how I'm feeling doesn't really bother me. If it's a stranger/aquaintance, I know they don't really care and are just making small talk. I will be honest with a friend. What gets to me is when people ask if it's a boy or girl and I say I don't know and they look at me like I have 2 heads. I know most people find out the sex, but not knowing until the birth isn't that ridiculous.

[tikoberry99]

I had a lady ask me if I was "positive" I was having a boy because apparently I'm carrying high and she has had 3 girls and i look just like her.....yeah I'm pretty fucking sure since I had to have IVF and got genetic testing and the nurse blurted out before I was pregnant that my embryos are both boys! Plus we've had it confirmed by multiple u/s.

TP to my dad. I'm sick with a sore throat and my dad called and asked how I was feeling....I said "tired and in bed" he says well what are you going to do when you are sick with a newborn? You can't spend all day in bed" Really? No shit! I'm in bed bc I don't have a newborn yet, obviously I don't plan on abandoning my kid when I'm sick! I don't have a kid yet and plan on doing whst I've always done until the baby comes.

Lately my answer to that question has been a very simple "uncomfortable". Seems to get the point across haha
