Monday vents/complaints/whatever else

[wicked22]

General every day complainants your having with work, family, other people, and other shit that just bugs the crap out of you.

[wicked22]

LO's dad called Saturday to see him while I was at the water park. I called back 2 hours later and asked if he still wanted to see him as there was still alot of time before bedtime. He answered with maybe tomorrow because he was already back to wherever he was staying for the night. So I was waiting for him to call sunday morning and nothing. Look at his facebook and he went to an all day outdoor concert. This isn't the first time he's done something like this and I'm just super annoyed at his lack of responsibility when it comes to being a parent. Not sure why it took accidently getting pregnant for a second time for me to see it.

1. I have no motivation and no desire to be at work today. Boo Mondays.
2. My sinuses are all fucked up today and my right ear is plugged and it's annoying the absolute shit out of me.
3. It's cold in the office today. The overuse of A/C is one of my most hated things. It seriously makes me ragey.

SS and I had a fun weekend, but boy was he a special kind of energetic and needy 24/7. I'm exhausted, which made me a little cranky pants this morning.

Also annoyed with people who don't take general responsibility for themselves and parents who coddle their college age children.

And while I'm getting over it since no one has said anything, a good friend posted something on my facebook that was pretty damn obviously baby-on-the-way related and we're not 100% public with the pregnancy yet. She knows this...ugh.

Being back at work after a week-long vacation sucks ass. I was in the office for less than an hour and my boss sent me, like, five emails about things he needed me to do. It was like "Welcome back—now get back to work."

And to add insult to injury, I got rejected from a job I did a phone interview for last week. I'm not even sure I wanted to work at this place or that I would have been happy in the position, but the draw was that it was five minutes away from my house. Oh well. I guess now isn't the best time for me to start a new job anyway.

Basically, this day is shit.

As to #2... Amen.

As to #3, that would make me super ragey. Hopefully no one caught on..

[trtlcrzy]

We started telling family this weekend about #2. We didn't do anything big really. The last person I told was my mom. That idiot goes and posts about it on Facebook. She didn't actually tag me in the post so it didn't show up on my newsfeed thank god. I texted her and told her that I didn't want it on Facebook yet and her only response was "sorry". I didn't think I would have to say that I didn't want it on fb, apparently she has no common sense. I am not telling my work until after my appt in 2 weeks and I have tons of coworkers as fb friends. So far no one has said anything to me, so that's good.

[EatsRitz]

I really hate when family/friends share news on FB that is not theirs to share. My SIL did something similar when I was going to be induced with #2. We had to tell her because she was coming to stay with DD, and not even 5 minutes after I told her about the induction, she posted something on FB about getting a new nephew the next day. Ragey.

[mishy2010]

I haven't been telling people to not put it on facebook when we tell them and now I feel like I should. I had someone announce DD's birth before us on FB it didn't even cross my mind that someone would share our pregnancy before we're ready to announce. Ugh, over sharing people suck.

[britterrss]

Other people posting on FB about MY pregnancy would piss me right off. Luckily nobody has said anything on mine yet. And MH and I are going to deactivate our FB starting sometime in January so that nobody can comment on birth or delivery or what have you until we are ready (read: maybe like 2-3 days after the baby is here... at least).

[danabsd]

My huge knockas hurt.

And I'm way sad about Blake and Miranda.

[piperhalliwell]

Apparently you really have to spell it out for people, and even then they might post something without permission. If you haven't had the "don't post" convo, I would definitely follow up with the people you have told.

My friend had been specifically told not to tell/post/hint at anything until we posted our official announcement, yet she still made her post. The more aggravating part is that she didn't apologize or respond at all when I politely asked her to remove my name from the post. At least she did take it down. I know it was probably something she did without thinking, but come on, at least say "oh sorry."

Me too! they were so cute.

[SubtleGrandeur]

piperhalliwell, I feel you on the FB thing! My aunt posted a comment on one of DD's pictures that said "Can't wait for #2!!" I deleted it as soon as I saw it. Not sure who else noticed, though. I'm not AS mad about it because all of our close family/friends know. But, we're waiting to announce on FB until after 1st tri is over... maybe even until we find out the sex from the Harmony test.

I am also irrationally upset about Blake and Miranda. I really liked them!!

[mrsmuq]

1. I'm constipated as fuck and very uncomfortable. I hate 1st tri.

2. My son has been the neediest, whiniest (think Caillou-whiney) toddler the last few days.

3. MH leaves for a four day "boys only" vacation Friday. My mom just backed out last minute about taking DS overnight on Saturday. I might cry.

[auchick913]

When we told DH's mom (who was then going to tell the rest of the family), I had to really stress to her that I didn't want people posting about it on fb. And I only knew to say something because some people did just that the last time someone in the family announced their pregnancy to the family. I even disabled posts to my wall because I just didn't want it to happen. Luckily, everybody has honored our wishes.

[auchick913]

My rant is that it's fucking hard to be pregnant in a foreign country. I mean... they don't even have milkshakes, wings or ranch dressing here. Basically anything that I am craving is not available or easily replicated. I am DYING.

I'm so sorry, that sounds legitimately terrible!

No milkshakes?!?! Where is this hell of which you speak?! 

[kate61487]

Ugh the Facebook thing would make me ragey. We have hardly told anyone yet, but that is just extra incentive to remind everyone not to post. (and obviously that doesn't guarantee).

My whine is that I am so freaking tired. I really can't complain because the reason I'm over tired is that we went to the Taylor Swift concert last night, and it was amazing. But the show ended around 11:30 and we didn't get home until after 1:30 because the foot traffic getting away from the stadium was so bad.

Ok. Deep breath. You can do this!

Put 2 scoops of ice cream in a cup, fill up to top of ice cream with whole milk. Mash around with a fork. Voila, milkshake.

Fill a pot with oil. Heat until hot. Drop chicken wings in for 25 minutes or more. Eat delicious chicken wings.

Btw I'm never leaving America. I need me some milkshakes.

In London you can get milkshakes from a food cart. With Reese's peanut butter cups. Or Snickers. Or any other sort of chocolatey candy goodness. It's magical.

My kid is a terror today. She screams if I walk into another roon, freaks out. And acts terrified if the baby comes near her. She didn't nap so she's currently in overtired mess I'm losing my sanity. Is it bedtime yet?

[tkford216]

What happened to Blake and Miranda?!?! *running to google search now* (ETA: WTAF? They were perfect. )

Also, as to FB posts.. we've been telling people specifically to not post things until they see a big announcement from us. And just in case, because I know how dumb people are, I changed my privacy settings to things tagged with me have to be approved before they show up on my timeline.

[mishy2010]

I weighed myself today bc I felt lighter and I have lost 7lbs since my last appointment. Nothing really appeals to me anymore and I don't feel like eating. I take my vitamins and try to eat a balanced diet but I don't want to force feed myself and end up getting sick. I'm hoping since I hit 11 weeks today that I start to get my appetite back. I'm not looking forward to getting yelled at during my next appointment.

I'm having the same issue. I'll be hungry, but start feeling sick after a couple bites. Trying to force feed myself just results in puking, so I'm just eating when I get hungry and stopping when I feel sick. I'm pretty much living on cereal right now.

[mrsred09]

My DH is seriously on my last nerve! We spent most of the weekend super cleaning the house., of which he complained the whole time! I come home today after a rough 10 hour workday to find the house an utter mess and him just sitting on the couch playing a stupid game on his phone. I really think he just let DS run wild today while he played on his phone! He wants to be a SAHD, and while we could swing it financially, no way in hell is that happening! Our house would be an utter mess all the time and all he does is play on his phone when DS is playing. So annoying!

[akraus2015]

I have a 13 hour work day today. You cannot do that to a pregnant lady. I just took a nap in my car and had a pop tart for dinner.

[apunicorn]

Sorry to everyone having a shitty Monday! Mine started with a smoothie, moved on to nausea, and 12 hours later I am finally on my way home!

I have not yet had a milkshake during my pregnancy and I need to change that ASAP.

[dreadpiratebuttercup]

I had a strawberry milkshake this afternoon, inspired by this thread

Last week I had a root beer milkshake from Whataburger. It was life changing.
