Good morning! I have a headache. I also have a busy day ahead of me. I have to work for a few hours because I didn't last night. I also have to start packing for our trip. I should probably clean my house too.
Last night we went to dinner with my mom and stepdad. My youngest sister was being nosey and asked "If you aren't having anymore kids, why are neither of you fixed yet?" I was explaining to her "we use charting and that works fine for us" when suddenly my husband in a very serious tone says "Actually...she's pregnant." My stepdad literally started choking on his ice from his drink! Hahaha!
I am starting to freak out, I have to have a nerve conduction test tomorrow. About a month ago Kenzie put her feet up on the counter and kicked her chair back I went to run over and slipped and have been having weird issues ever since. I was having a feeling like someone was putting a match on the back of my neck and then my legs and now its getting better but not 100% and its like my legs ache. My Dr. did all sorts of blood work for autoimmune things and they were negative so now thinks its a pinched nerve. He told me the testing is not pleasant. I hope its not too bad.
Had my normal Wed morning shitshow. It's pure insanity when I arrive at work. It's part that Wed is the first day I'm in all week, part that there's a big project with a lot of moving parts and a lot of people always going on on Wed, and part that I can't get in any earlier than 9 because of dropping M off. I don't even need coffee because the adrenaline kicks in. Then I need it badly at 10:30 when things settle down and I start to crash. Good times.
I've had a stomach flu or food poisoning all day. I'm really hoping it's food poisoning because I do not want anyone in my house to get this. It's horrible.
Hi all. Lately I just feel like I can't catch up and get on top of things.
This is a big year for us for milestone events. There's 2 50th birthdays, 2 80th birthdays, a 60th and my parents 40th wedding anniversary. Just this month is the anniversary and a 50th.
We're going to surprise my parents in a little over a week. They still live where I grew up which is about 8-9 hours away. My brother lives further away in another state and they're going to drive up to surprise them too. He's had to come up with stories to keep them in town that weekend so they may suspect something is going on by it should still be a good time.
Then a week later is a friends 50th. He's not married or seeing anyone so we're organising a surprise dinner for him with some friends and family. The only close family he has is his mother and she's helping us with the guest list.

I'm cold, I'm tired and still not feeling 100% like myself. I'm so ready for bed but alas I have a ton to do. MH will be home in two hours. Then I am heading back out to work. The only negative side of working for the greeting card industry is that big holidays mean being super busy.
DH came home Monday night after being away since he left for work Friday morning. Yesterday he told me he was feeling jittery and anxious. I urged him to connect with his doctor (he's on meds, they have been helping, but the doctor does not require him to see him on any schedule nor has he required him to have any type of therapy/counselling) as, if the meds are working properly, one would not expect that you would be feeling that level of stress/anxiety.
Today he is pissy about the fact that I didn't want to invest in BlackBerry stock (don't even get me started on this) and that if we had we would have made $100 by now.
He is so very unpredictable in terms of his mood, and what might be a possible trigger for stress/anxiety/anger and it's exhausting. It was actually easier to be alone with J for the weekend than to have him home. Less stressful. I didn't have to worry if what I said or how I said it was going to be misinterpreted or cause him to lose his shit.
I love my DH very much but I'm getting really burnt out. I am not sure how to help him understand that his behaviour is not normal or reasonable. And that it's completely ruining our marriage. He always blames me though and says I stress him out and he can't talk to me, etc etc. He doesn't understand that I am not and should not be his therapist.
I suppose I should just say it to him. But I am legitimately afraid that he will say he doesn't care, it's all my fault and I'm the one with issues.
Bah. Life is seriously tough sometimes.
Sorry ladies. Serious downer. I just needed to get that out.
bethypoo83, I'm so sorry. I too feel like sometimes I walk on eggshells around H and it's exhausting.
When I was in deep with ppa/ppd my mom called my doctor because I couldn't even do that for myself. Could you contact his doctor and describe his state right now? Maybe he or she would encourage therapy or a dosage change?
Ugh I'm sick and I think DS is too. I feel guilty because I had a short fuse with him today. He was super whiny and I was feeling crappy. I just feel exhausted with a scratchy throat. He doesn't have a cough, runny nose or fever so I don't think there's any point in taking him to the doctor. Hopefully we'll both feel better tomorrow.
Nearly a foot of snow coming our way during the morning commute
Good reason 😉
They don't close the schools very often. It was actually a last minute call by the mayor. Many of the children in the public school system here rely on the school to feed the kids. Sometimes what they eat in school is all they eat for the day so they very rarely close. 😞 It's really sad.
