Mine for this morning: I'm toddler free (sleepover at the grandparents) but was still woken up by the dog at 6am because DH wouldn't let her out to pee this morning at he was getting ready for work. So he's in the kitchen making coffee while she was pacing upstairs in our bedroom whining. For fucks sake, let the dog out. Now my sleep in day was wrecked.
nettje we're in the same shoes. We have two dogs right now (ours and my parents) and they're both wonderful at night. Can go from 9pm-6:30am USUALLY without needing to be let out. Friday - Our dog has the runs and needs out twice and K could sleep through a freight train in our bedroom, so I'm up to let them out. I was ALSO up 3 times to pee. Saturday - I mention the lack of rest and exhaustion, and get "oh, I'm sorry. wake me up next time, I'll let them out". DONE. Sat night? Went to bed at midnight the dogs needed out ONCE at 5:20. I poke K twice, "can you let the dogs out?". She huffs, throws off the covers, "I hate these stupid dogs, why do we have to watch your parents dog... etc. etc.". Opens our door, closes it shut (NOT quietly), stomps downstairs etc. When she DOES come back to bed, its in a huff and I'm pretty sure as loudly as humanly possible. 1. I'm not looking to engage in conversation. Go and let the dogs out. 2. YOU told me to wake you. Stop acting like this is YOUR fourth time up tonight. 3. Can you BE any less courteous? The whole point of me not having to do it, is to rest! Complaining and making all the noise... doesn't help. 4. You wake up and COMPLAIN to ME Sunday morning about lack of rest?! Ooh... I went downstairs to eat. Alone. Don't talk to me. lol
megd893 it drives me nuts when DH says he'll getup with DD when she randomly wakes in the middle of the night and then gets all pouty about it when he actually has to get up. He takes his sweet ass time doing it and sometimes she's hysterical by the time he get there. And I'm wide awake. I'll do it myself then!
@pcrunk sorry you're stuck at home with no oj or creamer. I hate not being able to get anywhere I need to get to.
Fiancé took my car to work for an oil change and tire rotation. No big deal, I didn't have anything to do today. Until I woke up this morning and realized he finished off the last of the OJ and we are out of coffee creamer. His car is a stick and I have no clue how to drive it. I could seriously throw a temper tantrum right now. I just want some fucking orange juice.
Oh and, I made this mistake of reading my friends 30 week pregnancy blog up date. She's due 5 days after me and, while I've always occasionally eye rolled her, being pregnant with be makes me want to throat punch her. Her life is so totally rainbows and glitter farts, ZOMG SQUEEEEEE!!!!! Except that it's not and she just acts that way on social media and her stupid blog. So this annoyance was totally my fault. Fail on my part. I know better.
I would totally want to throw a temper tantrum too. I hate when I wake up wanting something that's part of my morning routine, only to find that we're out. I'm not sure why it's the one thing that makes me lose all rational thought and just want to throw myself on the floor and scream. Being trapped without a car would make it 100x worse too

I really wanted to strangle H this am. of course he starts snoring right as I'm falling back to sleep from the MOTN potty break, when it took me an hr to get to the point of about to fall asleep.
I've woken up for the day at 430am thurs-sun and this falling back to sleep thing was major progress!
So very tired. Tornadoes all around us last night until after midnight. Not so close that we were taking shelter, but too close for comfort to go to bed. Like several with in 20-30 miles. Crazy lightning and thunder. Praying everyone is ok.
DS's daycare is closing....we had a spot held for LO for September and now I have to try to find child care for a 2 year old and a newborn...awesome!
That would be on my list of worst nightmares. I hope you don't live in an area with long waitlists.
I called two places on Friday that were contenders when we were looking back in January and one has decided not to open up an infant room in the Fall like originally planned and the other place does not have space for DS right now.
DD got sick yesterday. The power went out at 2am this morning and still wasn't back on from 4-5:30 when we were getting ready for the day. I got to work desperate to try to get as much work done as I can in the mindset that daycare could call any minute to send DD home (she has a fever but not "that sick" IMO) and the internet wasn't working for the first 2.5 hours I was here. Great.
Just after 10:00 and DD and myself have both had sobbing meltdowns and she has already been in timeout. Happy Monday. Background - she turned 3 in March and while I've had a potty for her to sit on for about 1.5 yrs, other than 1 time in the first week, she has not peed in it once. She is absolutely terrified to pee in it, or have an accident on the floor, or in underwear. It has been a nightmare and today I (again) had an emotional breakdown. I kind of hate every single person that has a potty trained kid right now. ETA - her meltdown and timeout were not related to the potty. I would never make her sit in timeout for that.

"I'll do it myself then!" - Seeeeeems to be my motto these days.

DH has to come home from work to watch kids because DD has flu, and I have a dentist appt. I can't reschedule it because he won't have this job once the school year is over, and I have to make another appt to have fillings done as soon as LO arrives so it's all covered by work insurance. And he doesn't have sick leave.
And since DD has the flu, I'm going to wonder all day if I'm coming down with something, or just feeling like my normal, crappy, nauseous pregnant self.

I have no advice, just creepy internet hugs. That's no fun (and 3 sucks).
I talk to my parents every morning, my dad always asks me how I am doing. This morning I made the mistake of saying that I was tired, and he turned to me (over the phone and said why are you always tired? M (my sister) was 40 weeks pregnant with Twins and she wasnt tired) I lost it. I was like stop Fing comparing me to her. We do not have the same pregnancy, hers is 100% different. Thats great that she wasn't tired but guess what I am. Im 34 fing weeks pregnant and if I am tired just let me be tired. Dont tell me because she wasnt im not allowed to me... Really tired of being compared to her pregnancy...When in reality they have been NOTHING alike.

Between my pee breaks and my backache/right hip pain I am getting no sleep. If one more person tells me "Oh, it's just your body's way of preparing for no sleep once he's here" I will punch them in the throat.

I don't usually do more than lurk but I have a big bitch from yesterday. My cousin had a "sprinkle" which actually turned out to be a huge ordeal for her second child with about 50 people. This already had me side-eyeing her because her other kid is only 3. Anyways, I took my 18 month old daughter along because my aunts were upset that they hadn't seen her in about a month even though I would have loved to just have a little bit of time to myself and leave her at home with DH. The entire time we were there my cousin's 3 year old daughter beat up on my 18 month old. She smacked her across the face, stole toys and hid them from her, tried to feed her food she isn't allowed to have, and knocked her to the ground on purpose. Her mom wasn't watching her but has hawk ears so whenever I told her no (like when she smacked my child across the face) she came over and got pissy with me about correcting her child. I finally just left because its not fair for my kid to have to endure that bullying but apparently that upset my aunts and cousin. Whatever, I need to do what's best for my kid.
I could write a novel worth of bitchfest for today.
DH's cousin had a birthday party for her sons first birthday this weekend. I'm good friends with one of her friends and she offered to pick me up from the train station. I really hate asking people for rides and was planning on taking a taxi. My MIL knew I was coming to the party without DH and didn't contact me to offer a ride, no big deal I'm a big girl and can figure that shit out on my own. At the party she asked her if I needed a ride back to the train station and I took her up on the offer. Around 10 they were ready to leave, they told me they are not driving me to the station and that I'm sleeping at their house. I had nothing with me. All I wanted was to sleep in my own comfy bed with my pillows and use my toothbrush. I told her my back was killing me and I didn't want to sleep in the guest room because I wouldn't be comfortable. They said it was dangerous for me to be out at night. It was 10pm and I live a 10 minute walk from the train station in one of the most densely populated neighbourhoods in the city. She wasn't having it so I was forced to stay. She also started yelling at me for not asking her for a ride. She said I was rude and inconsiderate and it hurt her feelings. I hate fighting with her so I apologized. I tossed and turned all night and my back and legs are so sore. I'm still in so much pain and bitter about it. Last night my SIL sent me news clippings of sexual assaults and violent attacks around the city with the following msg "see! you shouldn't be walking around at night, esp since you're prego."
Maybe they shouldn't kidnap a pregnant lady either. WTH?

My bitch for the day is we have had our condo listed for 9 months and our contract is expiring with our realtor tomorrow. I get this email from her today basically trying to point to certain things as to why we haven't sold it - even though I have been constantly asking her for feedback from showings and if we should change the price or certain modifications to decor etc. Each time she said no and then now in some sort of desperate attempt to explain why she hasn't sold it gives us all these reasons. Um excuse me, if you had told us any of this (especially when I blatantly asked) we would have done it ASAP MONTHs AGO! So now we have to scramble to find a new realtor and get it relisted and deal with their recommendations and I am due in less than six weeks. I know in the grand scheme of things this is not a big deal, but it is so frustrating and annoying.
No matter how much sleep I get, I'm still so tired all of the time! 10+ hours of sleep Saturday night and I still would have loved an afternoon nap yesterday. Almost 8 hours of sleep last night and I'm at work wishing I could just go back to bed!
Glad that I can at least sleep for long full stretches though. I keep saying this, but seriously, I can't wait for Maternity Leave! Just over 3 weeks to go!
pbubblegum I would have been PISSED and I definitely wouldn't have apologized to MIL for not asking her for a ride! How is it rude and inconsiderate to not ask someone to give you a ride somewhere?
I just want to start working from home full time now. I'm getting so sick of people, I don't know if I'll make it to my May 18th target date. One particular co-worker is constantly asking me questions, but if my opinion differs from his, it gets dismissed. He also asks me so many questions about our basic job function, and insists there be an SOP for everything; but when there actually is an SOP he doesn't read it and still asks a million questions.
megd893 it drives me nuts when DH says he'll getup with DD when she randomly wakes in the middle of the night and then gets all pouty about it when he actually has to get up.

This. This right here is why I've had TWO nights of uninterrupted sleep in the past 2 and a half years. He's the same way with appointments. "You can barely walk! You need to make an appointment with the chiropractor." I make them for after he's off work. "Ugh, these appointments are just so inconvenient. Why can't you make them for FRIDAY after work when I'm off early?" "Because the chiropractor closes at noon on Fridays." *insert heavy sighs, much stomping*
Our asshole neighbor decided to play shitty trip hop super loudly at 4 am this morning. Well, I've got news for this asshole...in just a few weeks, I'll have a bub who makes an amazing original soundtrack all his own. I can't wait to walk the condo hall hushing the baby back to sleep one night at 3 or 4 am so neighbor can see how it feels to be woken up in the middle of the night with such a freaking racket. This is one of the last weeks I'll be able to get a semi-decent night of sleep, so he better not ruin anymore or I will personally crap on his welcome mat (as soon as this whole constipated up to my lungs thing lets up just a little)…
Our couch was sent out for repair and was returned this morning smelling of cigarettes and "old man smell", according to my husband. Apparently our whole house stinks now. WTF Crate and Barrel? Maybe you should make sure your independent contractors refrain from smoking while they work on your furniture mmmkay? To their credit they have offered to send out someone to shampoo it. But I'm still not happy.
So, my OB appt today sucked! I have super low Iron & super high Sugar. Not only did I fail my 1hr glucose, I BOMBED it. Bad. Hello, Gestational Diabetes & 4x per-day finger pricks. Hello, Nutritionist. Hello, Iron Suppliments. Hello, weekly Dr. appts & bi-weekly ultrasounds.
To top it all off, I'm TERRIFIED of needles, I don't care how small, the extra lancets they gave me don't fit so I only have the ones that came with it which will last only 2 days, and I can't get the stupid freakin' thing to work to prick my finger! I have to start tracking this crap in the morning so it looks like I'm going to have to drive 20 minutes to the Pharmacy so they can show me wtf is going on with it!
Andplusalso, they're keeping me on moderate bed rest and full pelvic rest. I shouldn't be on my feet for more than 5-10 minutes at a time.
FML! Is it June yet?!
Ohhhhhhhhh. And DS is sick. He's been spiking fevers on and off since last night. No clue why.
