Im on the couch again. Pretending to work. Two days in a row. Haven't left the couch. Haven't showered. Haven't cleaned the house.

For a 2nd week I'll go first.

I've been so tired that I've been trying to get DS to bed faster and I've been purposely skipping pages in his bedtime book to shorten it. So far, he hasn't noticed.

I did nothing yesterday afternoon after I left my new office to go back to my old office. Well, I stopped first to eat lunch, and I dragged that out as long as possible. Then I got an email that pissed me off because it's so presumptuous and ungrateful and ugly (which is why I left. after letting them take advantage of me for years, why am I surprised when they continue to try it now?) that I said fuck it and spent the rest of the afternoon online looking at chairs for my new office.

Also, I didn't take my vitamins last night because I felt so bad. I think I may need to switch to gummies for a couple of weeks. I'm gagging over the large pill and that will lead to vomiting at some point (though it otherwise doesn't upset my stomach).

Finally, I've had lunchmeat three times this week - unheated. It was delicious.

I am really coming to loathe the bacon-maker here. It's a number of cracker-eating things, but the tipping point has been the bacon.

This weekend is DD second birthday and the only people I have invited for a BBQ is DH's ex, (SD Mom) her dad and his girlfriend. We spend more time with them and they love DD just like she was one of their own.
I don't have any intentions o letting IL's know and I haven't seen my parents in over a year and half.

Sorry Not Sorry

We don't live near any family and DD stays with  my mom (she starts preschool in the fall).  Her second birthday was dinner at IHOP followed by cupcakes and presents at home.  She could not have cared less.

This year, I think it will be mostly same.  I need to wrap presents.  Her birthday is a week from today.  Oops.

I'm thinking about skipping my first group lunch with my new co-workers today because they're going to eat at a certain restaurant that's notorious for leaving smells in your clothes and I just do not want to smell like that all day.

[suzyq0525]

I laid on the couch and let my husband wait on me last night even though he has been super busy with work. I just didn't feel like doing anything

[towerclimberswife]

I lied about my schedule for next week. I'm going out of town on Friday, but I told my supervisor I'm leaving Thursday so I don't have to deal with the crazy client we see together on Thursday mornings. :::hangs head in shame::: I'm not at lying, so I feel super guilty, but am so excited I don't have to sit in on that session!!!

[tromeo]

I still POAS every few days just to check that I'm still KU because I think I'm still in shock and with so few and light symptoms, I'm having a hard time believing it until my appts *hangs head in shame at crazy train actions*

To be fair, I had JUST bought a huge pack of Wondfos before this month and didn't need to use any of them, so I have something like 25 of them. But go ahead and flame me. I'm crazy.

[anonymouseliza]

You're not crazy, but it's not telling you anything, really. HCG doesn't evaporate instantly if you miscarry, so all you know for certain is that hcg is still present in your system. It's your money, dude. If you want pee on something every day, have at it.

If it makes you feel better, I found an opk stashed in my purse from the last cycle and I peed on that for shits and giggles. It was fun watching it turn instantly dark purple.

This I do know.  I think I do it more because I'm still in shock.  I think my crazy brain thinks at least it's not negative, lol.  I'm a nut job.

Same. Although I used my last one this morning...lol

I will not buy more. I guess I'm just going to have to start believing.

It just took me half an hour to figure out why my deposit was so off. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

And I just found out about an Issue in the old department. It boils down to being someone else's mistake, but one that I am ultimately responsible for. It's fixable, it's not the end of the world, but I'm pissed off that I have to a)deal with it and b)take responsibility for it when it boils down to me simply not having time to track down someone and forcing them to turn their documentation in. I'm pissed off and feeling sick right now (in my heart and physically).

My cousin planned her sons first birthday party on Mothers Day and since this is sort of kind of my first Mothers Day I'm going to skip so my mom and I can celebrate together and not have to sit at someone's house watching a 1 year old open gifts for two hours!

Not sure if this is flameful or not, but . . .

I just got the staff merit guidelines for this year. I assumed I wouldn't be eligible for a merit raise because I changed positions and had a greater than 5% increase, effective 4/1.

The new guidelines stipulate that you cannot have had a greater than 5% increase that became effective between 09/01/14 and 03/01/15.

That means that I am technically eligible for a merit raise, because I am an internal transfer and not a new hire. Selfishly, even with a higher salary, I want a merit raise. It's totally unfair to my current department, even though my salary will be included in the eligibility pool, because they gave me a raise already. But it wasn't as high as I asked and (though this has nothing to do with them) I was totally dicked over again and again by my previous position, so I feel like I kinda deserve an increase.

I won't ask for it, and I will smile very pleasantly at the new chair when she sees that I am among eligible candidates and I will encourage her to distribute to other employees in the department if there are other eligible employees worthy of merit. Because that's more appropriate. But in my head, I'm going to wish they'd take advantage to increase my salary. Because, selfish.

Hubby and I were supposed to go away Thursday through Monday that was combining a work trip for me and some time off for us. Well I am so tired of his hypocrisy on anything work related and it's priority over us that when we moved it to a "staycation" I purposely did not put in official PTO and have basically been more just working from home.

When he questioned it, I said I had work and we know the priority that work is.   So suck it. 

Of course morning sickness really just kicked in the past two days so the timing, and not going away, was fortuitous. 

(I work all the time so this isn't uncommon. Even when I put in full PTO something will blow up and I have to deal with it).

tromeo, this is totally off topic, but I just noticed we were married on the same day! We were married in Florida and it poured. And the fire department had to respond to the church for a fire. In the room my dress was being stored. Lol

[bugsy54]

I didn't brush my teeth before bed the other night. I was SO TIRED. <<< Not proud.

[bella423]

To go off bugsy54, I never (rarely) brush my teeth before bed. I brush in the mornings

OMG!  Wedding twins!  We got married in the Adirondacks and got SUPER lucky with 75* sunny weather.  However, they didn't estimate the proper power supply and we kept blowing the circuit so the lights kept going off in the tent during dinner.  Once we turned the food warmers off, everything was fine, but it was a fun light show until then, lol.  Good thing we had candles

I was itching to POAS the last couple of days soooo badly for some reason. I think it's because our first u/s was coming up and I wanted to reaffirm I was really pregnant. I had some strange feeling that my period never showing up was some weird fluke and the u/s would be all like "are you drunk, you're totes not preggo." My brain is a serious jerk sometimes. It' still feels surreal, even after hearing the hearbeat and seeing it yesterday. I still want to be peeing on things. Such a mind fuck.
