Thumbs Up! Thursday

[legalbeagle]

It is Thursday, people.  Tell me EVERYTHING.

[WineNChocolate]

I am having a blah/bad day..My DH sometimes. I shouldn't be saying Dearest to day. I am a very compassionate person and try to make sure to apologize and be mindful of others and sometimes my husband just burns my ass that the only times this matters when it pertains to him.

I ask him twice last night to please put his clothes away so the maid wouldn't have to move around all his crap. Then please move the car you parked behind me since I leave first in the morning. I come in the room last night clothes not moved..I start and say I can help. "Why do I have to do it now? Are you going to do it tomorrow morning? I can." I know my husband he wont do it. This morning I remind him to please pick the stuff up and make sure to not leave his toiletries all over the counters I get annoyed sighing. I go outside that damn car is behind me..I go in and say "Can I have your keys? you didn't move the car" I get total pissed off response. It just infuriated me that he wasn't like oh yeah you asked me twice last night, sorry hunny I will pick my shit up or hunny I forgot to move the car..so sorry. NOTHING.

I proceeded to be late for work and just cried the whole way to work. If this was reversed he would be so upset I didn't apologize and didn't remember something. UGH! I know I am hormonal but why is it different depending on who is doing it. Its just crap.

So I have just been in a mood today. My inlaws are here and I am just not going home right after work try go and get a mani/pedi. I am always the hostess and my DH sits on his ass..that shit ain't happening tonight. They are his damn parents, sweet people, but damnit you can't be nice to me..why go out of my way to help you with your family.

Sorry vent done...I wish I could drink.

Ugh... men. I'm sorry that you've had a rough morning/night. I hate when I ask DH to do something and it takes him forever and a day to get to it... typically I end up doing it myself (like you) and then get pissy. Most of the time it gets me blowing up for him to realize how much i meant business (like keeping "his" dog clean and bathing him on a normal basis.. he's 220 lb mastiff so he gets stinky)

Hang in there! I think a mani/pedi sounds wonderful, especially if your inlaws are over. Blah!

[littlelion]

WineNChocolate thumbs down to your hubby! Go treat yourself tonight.

[Winnifred]

Ugh you guys I'm annoyed this morning because of something that happened at work and I'm just sensitive... so I need to share about another thing that has really been getting on my nerves lately:

People bring in food and place it on a table near my desk and several other people's desks. They then hound us all morning/day if we don't eat the food they gave us. I do not want to eat everything people put in front of me, pregnant or not, and this drives me crazy! Seriously put the food out and leave it at that!

Also OMG cue the 100th time I've been reminded of all of the leftovers in our work kitchen today. We got an email, I don't need everyone to walk by and list out everything available again and again. Am I PMS'ing or something over here?

[Winnifred]

WineNChocolate, I'm sorry about what happened with your H, your frustration totally sounds valid to me! My H is terrible about keeping his clothes picked up and it drives me CRAZY. If he was pissed off at me for reminding him I would probably totally lose my shit.

hmr11913, a 220lb dog? I can't imagine trying to bathe him... definitely sounds like a job for someone other than you on a regular basis...

P.S. I just touched the top of my boobs while reading that for spelling errors and I love how firm/plump they are. I just don't like to look at them without a bra on right now though...

[Winnifred]

littlelion, is it strange that the love tit comment right now really makes me feel like you're actually here for me when you like my posts? It's weirdly walking me back off of the PMS ledge and into normal emotional territory. LOL.

[Becca]

WineNChocolate, sounds like your DH deserves a TPT. Enjoy your mani/pedi and don't rush home.

I went to some baby consignment stores yesterday and found two Baby Bjorn carries for $40 total, one still have the tags on it- score!

[lola]

Oh husbands, they can be so annoying. Mine does the same thing, leaving clothes out all over the floor in front of the dresser, where my clothes are stored. So when I move them all into a pile behind the door (because I am NOT putting them away), he gets mad because I messed up his "system." I'm sorry, what is this system that is random piles of clothes, both dirty and clean, all over the bedroom floor? We have a system. It's called put your clean clothes away and your dirty clothes in the hamper.

He also got mock-offended when I asked him to wear a collared shirt tonight when we go to meet all of the doctors at my practice to choose a new one. I may be crazy, but I want us to make a good impression! I want the doctors to like us and be excited to deliver our baby, and maybe it's shallow, but I feel like attire matters. This man would wear shorts everywhere, and has terrible fashion taste. It has taken me YEARS to get him out of his terrible Vermont wardrobe (no offense to any Vermonters here).

WineNChocolate, I'm sorry your husband is being so UGH today. I hope tomorrow is better!

[kaydee0402]

Winnifred, +1 to really hard boobs right now. My milk showed up early! I guess my body knows what it's doing by now

[kaydee0402]

Becca, awesome find!

I'm always here for ya! Although I'm right there with you on the pms ledge. 

Fyi, I dropped a piece of my lunch and it landed on my tummy. 

[WineNChocolate]

Thanks ladies! Most days I can roll my eyes and move on..it just took its toll today. He has no idea all the crap I do around the house without saying a thing. Like should I have to say these things to a grown man. But then let me forget something and what the hell its like he can't control his need to say something. I sometimes understand the lil old couple with their separate beds and separate houses that live right next to each other.

Winnifred, my boobs this time are actually not as full as they were with DD. Its weird I think it might be from working out more than with DD. lol not as much fat perhaps. But its nice to see the girls will filled out. I mean after lil one... I am warning they are just pathetic looking haha.

lola, haha I totally get it. I would of said something too...like umm we going to a picnic..are we asking your friend to deliver our baby. I didn't think so maybe you could give a lil effort. I look at my DH sometimes and am like where do you "THINK" we are going? He now just asks is this acceptable..it might be actually rubbing off. maybe.

littlelion, haha NO second rule there just leave it till you need it. lol. I can't say I have done that yet.

[fikafairy67]

WineNChocolate, are our husbands the same person? Seriously, the martyr routine gets annoying too - "well I did THIS, and I did THAT!" Seriously, do you want a cookie or a prize? You're not the only one who cleans around here, and I don't have to make announcements about ALL THE THINGS I DO.

This is going to be borderline TMI, but I am super glad my digestive system decided to start moving again today. The past 4 days have been a bit of a struggle!

[Winnifred]

@kc295905, can you please introduce me to your husband so I can rip into him myself? I'm feeling feisty today and he totally deserves it.

+1 to husbands being annoying lately. I asked DH to mail a package for me since he works right by a post office. That was Monday, it was still on the counter this morning. I put it in his driver's seat so he'll remember.

I finally scheduled an appointment with my acupuncturist. Now that I'm back to working, and therefore standing much of the day, my hip is giving me problems so I'm hoping she'll work her magic and make it stop hurting like she did when we were ttc.

My H is clearly going for Brownie points in the "saying the right things" category. I made some side comment last night about not doing something simple (OKAY! It was frosting cupcakes) because I was too lazy. He immediately jumped in with "You are totally not lazy, look at everything you do around here!".

That said, he also leaves his crap everywhere all the time and it drives me up the wall. I once tied all of the socks he'd left in the living room to the cord for his computer mouse. He was not amused and was all "that's so childish!". I told him that so was leaving his socks out for someone else to pick up. But I haven't had to pick up socks since then. It was when DS when first learning to crawl, and would play with his gross socks that he'd left out.

[Deleted]

Lucy, I designated a basket for DH's socks in our living room because he was always taking them off while watching tv and getting lost under or in the couch. Now he's trained to toss them in the basket at least.

I am definitely the lazy/messy one in my relationship. You all are making me feel like I should go home and tidy up

[Becca]

DH just walked into our house with a bouquet of flowers for me. First thing out of my mouth "Were they giving those away at work today to employees?" Yep, I was right.

Lol. My dh hasn't brought me flowers out of the blue. But sometimes he does bring me some chocolate. Good enough.lp

I feel like this is me too! I never have to ask my husbands to pick stuff up or be productive in any way. I'm the lazier one for sure, so I end up on the other side of the equation of feeling like I have to sometimes justify my level tidiness since it's less that his, but still seems appropriate to me. Maybe I should try harder

My back has been absolutely killing me, so my OB suggested trying a maternity support belt. Well, I decided not to listen to her and try out KT Tape. It is awesome! Totally did the job of lifting my belly up and taking the pressure of my lower back. HOWEVER, I'm apparently mildly allergic or just super sensitive to the adhesive because I now have blisters all over my belly where the tape pulled and rubbed the past 2 days. Now I'm covered in Frozen and Paw Patrol band aids and slathered in Neosporin, this sucks.

[littlelion]

Ouch that sounds painful mrsp121308

Ugh, sorry.  My skin is like this too and reacts to everything.  Whenever I have a blood draw my skin breaks out painfully from the adhesive tape they put on top of the gauze.  I find that the little tube of Neutrogena hand lotion (it is super thick, not expensive, like $3 at Target) helps that kind of thing chill out for me.
