Our fucking landlord is trying to raise our rent way more then we thought and would be a bit of a stretch to afford. If the property was in good shape I would understand the hike but we have had to DIY a lot since moving in for a lingering smoke smell- cobwebs in alllllll of the cabinets and corners. We had to replace every light fixture because the warmth of the bulbs would make the smoke smell resurface and it was disgusting.
When we complained about the smoke smell they came through and odor bombed the place and it gave both SO and I sore throats for 2 months. Not ok and it didn't work. we had to do natural remedies to get the smell out. It's finally to a place where the smell is gone and we have settled in. Now you are going to jack up our rent? We would look around if housing wasn't crazy in Dallas right now with so many corporations moving into our area. I just wish our landlord was a bit more loyal to his tenants who were NOT happy at move in and we did the dirty work on the property to get it livable!
As of this April I will have had the same pair of glasses for 5 years. Yes, 5 freakin' years. Not that I don't like the style of the frames, but they're a bit bent out of shape (thanks DD for that), and my lenses are in sad shape, not to mention I'm sure my vision has gone downhill at least a little. I've been putting it off because we don't have vision insurance and will be paying at least a couple hundred out of pocket for it, and with everything else going on the expense didn't seem like a priority but I don't think I can stand it much longer.
I've been told that during pregnancy is not the time to get your eyes checked. Your vision changes due to hormones (just like everything else in your body) so your vision during pregnancy might actually be better/worse than after.
Oh shoot, I had no idea, that never would've crossed my mind. I'll research that a bit before I do anything. Thank you!

I had my yearly eye appt when I was 10w pregnant and my eye doc says that it sometimes won't change and if it does it wouldn't be much.
I had mine checked at like 8 weeks and the doc wouldn't dilate my eyes because she said the stuff they use can increase baby's heart rate. I was like, okay.. that's a new one.

My eye doctor wouldn't see me till after I have the baby. She said the hormone thing as well. I do find that I put my glasses on my head a lot and that's not something I would typically do. I only do it when I feel like my glasses are irritating my sight and these are fairly new prescription from a month or two before pregnancy.

Gahhhh.
A good friend of mine is currently in the same situation. She calls their landlord "slumlord" because he basically doesn't do jack shit. Their bedrooms are completely separated from the main portion of the house because the foundation is so effed up and any time they've had any issues with the property they've had to fix it themselves. The worst part? He used to be an agent with our RE office (when they signed the lease) and still refused to do anything.

I had mine checked really early, I think I was like 5 weeks, and they didn't dilate my eyes either. She just said she wouldn't because I was pregnant, no reason given.

I am getting jowls on my face. And my nose is spreading. And I feel like my face is yellow. Oh and it feels like I just lifted weights with my pelvis. And I think my cat peed on me while I was sleeping - or I put on dirty yoga pants (I don't think so). She has done that once or twice.
That's it for now.
You win. I won't even add my own post. No way to complete with this.
I'm sorry.
It's ok. I'm hoping the jowls, nose, and yellow face clear up after the babe. As far as the cat peeing on me...I need to let her stop sleeping with me. I think she is marking her territory - all of the cats have been really clingy the past few weeks. It's gross - but she's my cat and I have had her for 11 years. I'm sure the baby will pee on me a few times too...
I'm sure everyone is tired of hearing about it, but this fucking tooth is killing me, pardon my French. I just can't deal with this, and there's absolutely no way I feel like this can wait until June when I can get dental insurance or until the baby is born without some type of pain management. I have eyeballed my Hs toolbox far too many times. I want this thing out of my head or I'm going to go apeshit. Because 3rd tri discomfort and sleeplessness aren't bad enough, I have to deal with this shit in my face too.
I feel your pain. My 2 1/2 year old daughter gave me herpetic gingivostomatitis right before Christmas. Apparently, I was lucky enough not to contract HSV2 until my 30s. So my gums were so inflamed and I couldn't eat for like 2 weeks. I still have my wisdom teeth and the gums around one of them still hurts. I don't know when I'll be able to eat with my whole mouth. I don't see the dentist until next month but luckily it doesn't hurt all the time and a tylenol will take care of the pain. Sorry you're considering yanking the tooth out yourself.

I have vision insurance but it's terrible. I got glasses from Warby Parker a couple of years ago and they have been great. They were $120 I think. It's all online, but they send you samples to try on for free. I brought the box of samples to work to try on - it was fun, actually.
I just had a patient get all pissy with me because after I asked for his first and last name (which was about as common as John Smith) I asked him to verify his DOB. He then said, "if you type in 'John Smith' I'm right there." Okay well...you and about 4500 other people.
I then asked him to sign the consent to do his blood work (which is required at every visit....just a signature.) and he flipped out saying "I was told I wouldn't have to do any paperwork today." and took down my name and asked for the patient relations phone number.
Um...yeah. Okay. Good luck with that. GTFO.
When I was working in a dr office I had a pt refuse to give me his last name or birthday. Uhm ok dude, well we kinda need those. He decided to not make an appt with us because we were trying to "invade his privacy."
So I feel ya.
I worked for an alarm system monitoring company for awhile, and one time I had to call a guy because there was a low battery with one of his devices (or something equally banal).... He got himself all worked up and convinced that I was a thief, trying to "case out" his house over the phone. Finally he said, "whatever - I'm going to hang up with you and call [my company] to make sure you actually work there. What's your phone number??"
Whatever. I notified him of his fucking low battery. People....
My work just changed the way we schedule patients & now instead of 4 patients/hr, they want us to see 6. Because of a very cumbersome electronic health record, we struggle to keep up with 4/hr & there is literally no way to do 6. Also, I will now leave at least an hour late because we are scheduled 3 patients in the last 30 minutes, when we used to have none. When my baby is already going to be away from me for nearly 12 hrs I do not fucking want to stay late -- nor can my childcare arrangement accomodate this. There is no administrative time for charting, phone calls, reviewing lab results, etc. On Fridays I no longer even get lunch.
Are you FUCKING KIDDING ME???
I'm sorry - this is so frustrating. And after you just drove so far in shitty weather, too. I would be livid. Do you think all signs are pointing to getting out of this job? I realize you just posted about needing the extra $$ for childcare, etc.; I would just hate to see you so stressed out ... I know it's none of my business - so ... HUGS.
It must be monday.... I went in for my biweekly BPP and baby A didn't want to wake up fully to pass on her practice breathing, so I was sent over for an NST for monitoring. Then in the NST both babies were wondering around off of the monitors so we couldn't get an accurate reading on either of them for the 40 min. i was there, SOooo I was sent over L&D to see if we could make sure all was ok. My original single hour and 20 min appointment this morning ended up being about a five hour one. Just glad all is looking ok for now and I was able to come home! This really isn't meant to be 'bitching' per say since I'm just glad they're alright but I did find it ironic that the day I'm sent in for just the BPP it turns in to an all day affair. These babies want to keep me on my toes!
I am so tired of everyones comments. "You just wait til you have your child" or "you will enjoy this with your child" I want to raise my child how my husband and I see fit not how other think we should.

My shower was this weekend on the other side of the state. My SIL offered to host it a couple months ago which was so gracious of her. It was small, as expected, and I was really looking forward to that as 1.) I am shy and rather uncomfortable being center of attention & 2.) I knew I would have time to catch up and enjoy my family's company. I hadn't seen most of them for about 10 mos. (a few of them, longer) since we moved and we were all texting each other about how excited we were to get together - especially since I'm a FTM and they are all experienced mothers.
Anyway, the shower itself was beautiful; however, the whole time felt really scheduled and rushed. For all the bridal and baby showers I have attended, it was certainly the shortest. My immediate family is really laid-back and we just look forward most to seeing one another. Party themes, decor, food - those are all bonuses... a good party to us is when we all feel we've had time to catch up.
That didn't happen.
Even in the middle of the one trivia game we played, my SIL basically interrupted my 3 sisters sharing hysterical stories about their haircuts as kids. She said, condescendingly, "OK... moving on!" WTF?
So I thought we would at least have time to visit after her agenda was completed but she and my niece were literally cleaning everything up from under us. You would've thought they were hosting another party according to how quickly they were wrapping it up.
The whole thing lasted less than 2 hours which is how long our drive was to get there (and we had to return same-day, unfortunately).
Anyway, TL;DR - I was thrilled to have a shower and the time with my family that I did... I just don't know why it was so rushed. Sorry for the long post - just needed to vent.
We have recently gotten new management at the daycare I work at and when I go over ratio she moves kids from my classroom to another room instead of giving me another teacher. This pisses me off because the parents are paying for this classroom, for the curriculum, for the potty training. And instead their kids are getting passed off and learning nothing. It might be okay if they were close to turning three and had to transition soon anyways, but shes sending kids who still have 4 months and no consent from the parents! If that was my kid, id disenroll.
HAHA. Licensing came in to our school today and wrote up my boss because she noticed how she was leaving me out of ratio or moving kids to other classrooms instead of bringing in a new teacher. So funny I just complained about this earlier. Hopefully we see a change immediately because she said shell be back in a few months to make sure this isnt happening anymore.

jennypm I was stellamakes3 then changed to etherhay. Thank you all for the well wishes for my tooth. The OB explained to me that they would probably use general anesthesia since the teeth are impacted and broken, so that is why I was turned away from the clinic. He also prescribed me a pain pill at a low dose to use, so I've gotten some relief finally!! Sweet relief, I can eat, and I can function finally. My H is off for the next 2 days and my mom comes on Thursdays, so I should be okay for the time period I'll be using it. If the infection returns or the pain returns, the OB says we will continue antibiotics and this medication, since the risk of general anesthesia is too high right now.
On a positive note, my NSTs are going really well and I don't even have to see the Special OB team next week because my blood sugars are on point. That's also a huge welcome relief.
AleWife Sorry that your shower didn't turn out how you had hoped. I would have been sad to drive all the way there for such a sort time. I had to work really hard to not get involved with my shower planning, just for that reason. It is such a nice gesture for someone to host, but you do give up the ability to have the type of party you would most enjoy. Side note- I saw FOALS at outside lands in 2013. I knew nothing about them before we went. They were awesome! One of my favorite shows of the trip and I wasn't even a fan. I am now.

Thanks. I really am very grateful for the time we had. It was just odd to me, is all... She even said, as people were exiting... "Oh, you all can take your time. We are just cleaning up." But she only said it to me, quietly. It's like she didn't mean it and certainly one of those instances where actions speak louder than words. Oh well.
They are incredible and represent so well in a live show! I recommend checking out their videos as well. Even though music videos seem to be a thing of the past (relative to my adolescence), I appreciate when a band still takes the time to do something artistic with it. 'Spanish Sahara' is one of my favorites.
snarkysparklefart FINALLY!! Now, I know who you are! I'm glad you got a little bit of relief with your mouth...hopefully it lasts until you deliver, at least.
I am really really starting to hate my cats. I got in a new bedding set from Land of Nod for little one, and stupid fucking cat #1 puked on it within 2 hours of having it set up. Then this morning cat #2 discovered the nursery and I caught him spraying the new curtains. Needless to say I about killed both of them, and then started having contractions because I was chasing them all over the house like a maniac. It's heartless, but I want to get rid of them. Unfortunately everyone else in my family loves animals and is chalking my crazy up to hormones so I guess I am stuck with them. >.<

I'm sorry - this is so frustrating. And after you just drove so far in shitty weather, too. I would be livid. Do you think all signs are pointing to getting out of this job? I realize you just posted about needing the extra $$ for childcare, etc.; I would just hate to see you so stressed out ... I know it's none of my business - so ... HUGS.
Ugh -- yes that's exactly what I was thinking! Is this a sign that I just need to say fuck it & leave?? (And by leave, I mean, continue my job search... because in my profession, there are just very few positions.) Thankfully the staff & I have a meeting with the office manager on Wednesday & then I have a separate meeting with my supervisor on Thurs, so I'm going to try to make it clear that the scenario isn't feasible. At the very least, I'm legally entitled to a lunch on Fridays -- and to pumping breaks all the other days -- so there's no way they can try to push these changes through without any alterations. I'm trying to stay positive about a compromise, but it's tough because the schedule is already being filled for next week. So that'll be hell.
PS -- just saw your post about your shower -- that's really disappointing! I'm sorry it was scheduled so militantly. I'd be sad about it, too. ::hugs::

The commute alone would really stress me, too - along with everything else... I hope they do listen to you if you decide to stay. Based on how supportive you are in this community alone, it would be a major loss for them if you departed. I know how aggravating it is to look for new work, though - it can be a full-time thing. I'll be pulling for you, girl. Keep us posted.

I am fucking done with maternity pants! Full panel I feel like they are squeezing the life out of me. Demi panel just digs in under the belly. I'm switching to moo-moos for the next 5 weeks.

My cleaning lady, Argh! So when I was in the hospital I had her come for a couple hours to do some basics because you know, I can't do it myself right now. Come home and she didn't dust. I mean who vacuums and doesn't dust first! Also she moved and rearranged some of some baby gifts that i had received but haven't wrote thank you cards for yet and now I'm going to have to guess on some of the stuff. She spent more time in the baby room than anywhere. So irritated. I think she is getting too comfortable, time for a new one I think
