I left my purse at home today. So no headphones for when my coworkers are obnoxious. Luckily MH has today off, so I'll text him later, but he probably won't bring it till lunchtime.

Hugs @erin2021! I've started being pretty blunt with people that ask when we are having babies. "Been trying for quite awhile now but thanks for asking."

Totally unrelated but I had to tell you that every time I look at your avatar it makes me smile and laugh.

I've just started telling people we're not having kids. One, it usually ends the conversation right there. And two, if I ever do get KU then I can tell people on my own terms instead of having people "check-in" when they think I do something only a pregnant person would do, like pass up a drink. FFS, I can feel like NOT drinking once in a while.
I have to bitch about the stupid interior design lady at Lowe's who I talked with last week about our kitchen remodel. I popped in to talk with someone about having an estimate done and the woman took my information and asked me a few questions about what we are looking to do. Then she told me that with what we are looking for, it would cost at least twice what we are planning to spend and that she couldn't help me based on our budget. This was all without having even seen the inside of our house.
I understand that it is possible we have no idea what we are in for, but to tell me she cant help me without taking any measurements or looking around our house? Ummm, no. We just want someone to come in, look around, and give us some options based on what we want to spend. I am pretty sure with our tiny little kitchen that somehow, someone will be able to work with us. We dont need granite counter tops and all stainless steel appliances. We know that is not in our budget. I just want a freaking dishwasher.
I wanted to punch the stupid lady in her stupid face. She ruined my day. I think it is safe to say we wont be going back to Lowe's with the measurements she wanted us to take.
It was. She said the thing about it being a mercy because the baby had Turner's syndrome, which would likely have meant a lot of health problems if she had been born, and also that she definitely would not sexually develop and would be infertile. It was still the wrong thing to say. I wanted my baby to be born, and she was wanted unconditionally. The fact that she would've had problems didn't make it any easier to lose her. But I know my mother, and I know she meant well.
I've had people say similar stuff to me bc one of my losses was complete trisomy 10 which is incompatible with life. I was like...ummm I choose to think that it's just bad luck and shitty science but thanks.

Yeah @erin2021, I am so sorry about your brother! I went out for a drink on Saturday night with another couple (who has kids) and got all sorts of unsolicited GKU advice. The wife literally said, "I heard that if you have sex the last day of your period you'll GKU immediately." And then continued on to say that we should go to the doctor to see why we aren't pregnant yet. I just smiled and nodded, but was totally pissed when I got home. I understand that people mean well, but I really don't need to hear about old wives tales when it comes to GKU. Thanks.
kaliRN, cabgirl, Big hugs. My mom is similar; I don't think she does it to be malicious, but I think she feels that I am being dramatic and over exaggerating PCOS and the fact that I am not ovulating. She had 4-6 year gaps in between me and and my siblings, so she keeps telling me to "relax" and that "it will happen." She was 19 when she had me, so she had 12 years to "relax and let it happen." I will be 30 this summer, relaxing will not help me ovulate.

Last week, a lady complained about being "shoulder checked" by a guy. We reviewed, it was totally incidental contact. Today, the guy comes in and said that he heard about her complaint and he wants to complain about her complaint. Are you fucking kidding me? He said that he is being harassed. When I asked him for specifics, he said that 2 years ago, she took the fan that was in his department, and she brought blueberry muffins in and offered them to him, and he is a diabetic. Gasp!! How dare she offer a muffin! FFS, 12 days until vacation...

I'm legitimately sorry you have to deal with that, but holy shit that made me laugh hard. Especially the muffin thing.

I was told by a coworker that you should just have sex for 15 days straight as soon as your period ends. I told her that would hurt my vagina alot.
I am frustrated because the last two things we have to do in our kitchen is install the countertops/sink and then do the backsplash. Getting the countertops has been an absolute nightmare for a few different reasons.
The dummy who ordered our cabinets screwed things up and we had to reorder a few of them and so the countertop measurements were off. Because of that we held off ordering countertops until the cabinets were installed so that we could guarantee correct measurements. We then had to wait a week for a template to come in so we could verify the measurements were correct. It was only supposed to take three days to come in but someone forgot to actually order the template... We finally got the template, went in, and verified the measurements and placed the order. Guy told us the turn around time was 2-3 weeks but usually closer to two.
So three weeks later and we still have no countertops. DH calls, they look on the computer, see that they are sitting at the warehouse and should be put on a truck in the morning. Ok... DH calls the next day. Countertops, what countertops? Your countertops haven't even been ordered yet!! WHAT?? So now we have to wait another 2 weeks for the countertops to hopefully even get to us.
SO SO PISSED!
DH has been talking to the manager of the store about them compensating us in some way for this whole mess. I have been without a kitchen sink for more than a month and it completely sucks.

So my actual bitch is that since 2 dpo I have had constant cramping and my boobs have also completely ballooned. I can't fit in any of my bras and I am way too large chested to go braless. FML.
ETA: Also super nauseous. All of my symptoms are spot on with when I had a cyst on October. I have GYN appointment tomorrow. Thank god.
TTC #1 since August 2013 DX: Endo November 2014: Hysteroscopy, D&C June - September 2015: Clomid + Novarel + IUI #1-3 January 2017: Laparoscopy - endo removed
Dude, I told you last week Wallie that all you gotta do is chug V8 and you'll be totes KU in no time! I'm adding it on to my Baste-A-Baby product line as a sure fire way to spawn in no time!

I'm glad you called. Keep us updated on how it goes. Fx they can give you some answers.
Hope your appointment tomorrow with be helpful, @wallflwr926. Hugs to everyone dealing with insensitive and ridiculous people regarding GKU...
My bitch is that my youngest sister's boyfriend broke up with her last night for basically no reason. She is still in college and has been dating this guy for a few months now. A few weeks ago before the break up, he had asked her to their college's spring formal event. She had bought a dress and shoes, scheduled a hair appointment, etc. and was looking forward to it. Now, less than a week before the formal, he breaks up with her out of blue. Talk about horrible timing. What an idiot.

Sorry for all the insensitive comments today. It's so hard to balance hurt feelings with well meaning people. My bitch today is that my patient is pretty independent so I'm trying to get caught up on some paperwork but my instructor keeps grabbing me and saying "since you aren't doing anything can you do ___" I don't mind helping but there are four students standing next to me just chit chatting. At least acknowledge that I was doing something.

Love tit for commiseration, I remember those days.
Don't be afraid to say no! Prioritization will only get more important the further along you get!! Sometimes you have to get your own stuff done.
All things I am sure you know, but just some advice from a fellow nurse who doesn't mind helping others! It is a balance I still sometimes struggle to find.

That sounds awful! You should def. get compensated for that, I can't imagine!

I certainly hope so... All of the screw ups have been totally the fault of their employees.
I feel like I don't even know what is a fair compensation though? A percentage of what we spent? Free installation/delivery? I just want my kitchen to be done
And now we have decided to list our house... so this countertop crap is literally keeping us from putting our house on the market.

Gems from my step mom again: she says if you just stand on your head for 30 minutes after sex every time you should have no problem getting pregnant.
