What the fuck husband?! Why are you whining all fucking night and going bat shit on the blanket? Just calm the fuck down and stop it! Ugh. I was actually exhausted enough to sleep and couldn't because he wouldn't shut up. I finally get the sense to move to the couch and only get like 90 minutes because now it's time for him to get up for work.
Ugh. I'm so tired and I know I won't be able to get any more sleep for now. Hopefully I can manage a nap later on.
That is my husband every night.
Want to know what fixed it? A big ass bed.
We went to Thailand a few years ago, and the bed in the hotel room was 9 feet across (I don't know why) - it was the best sleep that I had gotten since getting married.
When we moved into the new house a few months ago, we recreated it. That's right - 2 queen beds pushed together - 10 feet of sleeping bliss. Please don't get concerned for the state of our marriage (OMG, separate beds?) - it's fantastic. We cuddle, etc., fall asleep on his side, and then when I inevitably wake up a few hours later, I just scoot on over to my side and sleep the rest of the night. Absolutely fantastic.
This sounds perfect. We are contemplating getting two twin beds to push together instead of another king. I wish we could do queens, but our room would be nothing but bed lol
WTF. Two nights ago, I dreamed DH got shot twice at work. He is stubborn and won't wear his bulletproof vest. I don't know why it bothered me so much but I slept like shit last night because I was so worried about him at work.
He doesn't actually refuse to wear a vest, right? Either way I am sorry that you had that dream. Seems like one that would be hard to shake off.

How do you find sheets to fit?
It's two queens. I assume she puts sheets on two queen beds.

He doesn't wear it to work, says it's hot & uncomfortable. He takes it with him and says if he has a call, he throws it on over his uniform. That just isn't enough piece of mind for me.. :/

WTF incompetent painters - who spent 8 hours last Friday painting my bathroom, but didn't finish and left it unusable until they can come back this Friday to finish - every time I glance in that room, I notice another surface that shouldn't have paint on it that does - the floor, the tile part of the wall, the tub, the mirror, the faucet, the toilet paper holder. I am so glad that I don't own the house, and that I am not the one who is paying for that crap work.
WTF ANTS. We had a slight ant problem the past month with the really tiny kind of ants, but we've been using sprays/traps and thought it was getting better. However, the past few days I've noticed a few huge ants with wings around the house. Last night, there were SO MANY of them and a few even in our bedroom. Ugh. Some Googling showed they are probably carpenter ants. Time to call an exterminator today.... :-(
OMG, I should not have read this. I FUCKING HATE ANTS.
Thanks! The admitting nurse was a huge bitch which annoyed me as a nurse. Stop encouraging the stereotype that nurses are bitches. You know, even though half of them are. Especially before people have procedures! They are nervous, be nice!
Ughhhh. That makes me crazy too! I have never had a bad experience with a nurse as a patient (not many chances to either) but I have worked with quite a few nurses who have perpetuated that stereotype. Stop!! You are making the rest of us look bad!

Me too :-( There have definitely been tears shed over these fucking ants. My husband thinks it's irrational that they bother me so much, but they REALLY gross me out. I won't say anymore about them though- I know by hating ants myself that you don't' want to hear anymore about them!
It's two queens. I assume she puts sheets on two queen beds.
I assumed that with her pushing the beds together that they may be using one base in which case it would be hard to spread it as two separate beds.
I assumed a bit too much.
Yep - 2 platforms - 2 sets of sheets - 2 quilts right now, but the ultimate goal is to have the quilts sewn together with snaps/trim down the middle so I can make it up as one bed but still wash them separately. And we still need to do a headboard. We're lucky that we decided on this sleeping arrangement while we were planning/building the house - the master is 18' wide and during framing, I added another 2' bump-out so there's 6' of room on my side (#firstworldproblems I know)
WTF DH. I have always wanted him to go eat at PF Changs with me. Nope, nope, nope. He says it's stupid to pay so much for chinese food.
He's out of town training, and the other guy training with him wanted to get PF Changs for dinner. He said ok. Seriously?? We've been together 5 years and not once have you gone to PF Changs with me.

That would make me so mad lol. Give him hell for it when he comes home and maybe you can go again soon!
My WTF is also to H, for always climbing over me when he gets up to pee in the wee hours of the morning. WALK AROUND THE BED. I think he's scared that a zombie will grab his ankle on his side or something. He always ends up crushing me somehow and waking me up!

What the fuck, back? A month ago, I started going lap swimming as a low impact means of exercising to start losing weight. Last week, I started getting pain/soreness on my left upper back. I think it was because I always breathe on the same side (right) when I swim freestyle. I just want the pain to be gone!
I'm gonna look up other means of aquatic exercise that I can do until my back gets better. Fuck, though!
My WTF is first myself. My daughter went to sleep last night earlier than ever. I couldn't sleep until 3:30am and then woke at 6:00am. My son leaves on a school trip and I was already anxious about it, being extra tired is making it much worse. (he is going to Italy for 10 days)I am hiding my anxiety from him but it is getting difficult.
Also WTF to my husband's employer. They aren't giving him any hours but they don't want to lay him off and they don't want him to leave the company. We can't live that way.

WTF coworkers! The office is not an appropriate place to discuss: -the death penalty -Ferguson or any other racially charged subject -breastfeeding in public -gay marriage or any related topic of sexuality or gender. -feelings about the president
How about we just stick with celebrity gossip? I get it, I'm weird and don't have the same views as you. This is why I don't share mine and try to avoid making sweeping judgemental statements about politics.

I always avoid talks that have to do with these topics, especially at work. Religion/income is also something I avoid completely.
I also refuse to add anyone from work onto social media. I've pissed off a few people bc of it, but I think that part of my life should remain private.

How old is he? Italy is amazing. I went for a month in college and I loved it. Where is he going? Sorry about the anxiety though. I know that is the worst.
WTF pets? I know the time change is crazy but could you all please get back on a normal schedule? It sounds like we have galloping horses instead of two cats.
In my house, we call this phenomenon Thunder Paws.

**Unless I am or become close to someone.
I don't do social media with coworkers either. Usually I just put in my headphones, but I always feel like an asshole for not standing up for what I think is right. But I like my job and don't want to get fired.
lol thank you. They have all been tetras except for Bissel and Hoover - they were plecos. Bissel was my fault - I bought him too soon and there was no algae for him to eat. The tetras ate Hoover and Isoceles. I have a Marina 360 tank with a built in filter (I'd have to look up what kind). I haven't actually tested the water but I'd never had a problem with it with previous fishies and am treating it per instructions with water conditioner + some kind of ecosystem crap recommended by the fish place people. Honestly I think I may have just shocked them. Their tank had gotten pretty bad with algae since the last cleaner died and I opted for a full water change. I took double the time to repatriate them since I know full water changes are not recommended but they still died. thoughts?
Tetras are tricky. Are they cardinal tetras (do their stripes run the entire length of thier body or only half?) I would say the full tank change played a hand. I would recommend getting a ph and mineral checker at the store for the water. Always helpful - especially with freshwater tropical.
Plecos are awesome. I would also stick with some hardier fish - Molly's, guppies, danios, platys, etc. make guppies are beautiful. Betas (1) are also great for a community tank as they usually aren't too bothered by the other fish.
Some ballsy people add a few goldfish but generally, they are the dirtiest fish, which is funny considering people usually keep them in small bowls! How many do you keep in the tank? The general rule is 1" of fish per gallon.
I would say to stay away from the full tank changes (but you know that). How many tetras do you have? Are they fully schooled (at least 5 or 6) if not, that's likely why they are dying as well. Tetras need a group.
***stuck in box****
I had a mix: black neon, painted, lemon tetras. I just bought a guppy last night and he seems pretty cool so I may get another. I didn't realize that betas could live with other fish - I thought they had to always be kept separate since they liked to fight? I have a 2.2 gallon tank with never more than 3 fish + the cleaner fish. I don't know if my tank is big enough for 5/6 tetras + cleaner fish so maybe I should just stick to guppies?

Exactly. There is a woman here at work, who is constantly pushing my buttons. She is the type who would try to get u to say something offensive, and then get you fired for it. So I keep my mouth shut, even when it's hard.

Thanks for the awesome info so far!
I kept a betta in a tank with other fish for a while. He was pretty cool and liked to try to intimidate the cats. We stopped because I was just too busy to deal with their tank on a weekly basis. We also seemed to ignore them after we moved.

He just turned 16. He is going all over. I know they are going to Venice, Tuscany region (Pisa, Florence, Sienna) Rome. He is just lucky we paid before our work troubles. I have never been overseas and I wanted to make sure he got the experience. My older son refused to go when he could have.

I do the same thing. I dont want them seeing my personal life.
Married 10/10/10! TTC Baby #1 since April 2014 BFP Oct 16 - EP terminated Nov 6 2014 Off the Bench January 2015! BFP #2 June 1 2015 - EDD Feb 12 2016! Baby Boy born 15th February 2016!
W - Sorry about the job uncertainty - that sucks. FX for you! mrss44 - I'd stress about that too! I work with a lot of folks in law enforcement, and I'm always keeping them in my thoughts to stay safe - I'll add your husband to my list! blush - I went to Italy when I was 16 with my Latin class - it was awesome! We were in Rome, Naples, Positano, and went to go see Pompeii as well - lots of Latin history. Your son will have a blast!
My wtf is kind of just a whine - back before DH and I were TTC, we had sex all the time. Like, at least 5 times a week. Then he started getting these terrible headaches, and then he started getting the intense nerve pain in his face, and the sex super dried up just as we started TTC. I totally understand why he isn't up for it much of the time, but it's just frustrating while TTC, since that's kind of the critical component.
