Monday whines/wins

[bliz1712]

Whine: I dropped my phone outside this morning, which I've done hundreds of times before, but it hit the cement just right and cracked my screen
Win: the positive of that is that it's in the bottom corner so it's still usable.
Whine' Saturday w3 planned something and my mom changed it to a week before. She told the gal to change it for me but in reality the original weekend is much better. Now I may not be able to go.
Whine/win: I'm hosting a scrapbook part tonight. I haven't done one in almost 5 years. I'm hoping to make some money but I'm nervous at the same time.
Whine: I'm really having baby fever and haven't really come to terms that I'm done having kids.

[summergirl1211]

Win: The craziness of last week at home and work has finally subsided.
Whine: Now the day is going so slowly and I don't know what to do with myself.
Win: The Packers won a huge game last night. Yay!!
Whine: But of course, 2 of their 3 injured players were on my FF team and I'm getting my butt kicked AGAIN, this time by laurski81.
Win: My parents are coming to visit this weekend and I'm excited to see them.
Whine: I can never come up with yummy and easy meal ideas when they visit.

Whine : I have some horrible clogged ducts I can't get rid of. If you touch my left boobie I probably would cry. I am terrified of mastitis.

Win : my supply bounced back from that weird low week.

Win : I am only working a 8 and a 12 this week.

Win : my happy place is now open, the most amazing pumpkin patch, and we are grtting season passes

Whine : Ellison is currently licking me

[junkytrunk]

Win: we moved into the house this weekend! Yay more space!

Whine: movers are expensive!!

Win: finally got all my stuff back that has been in storage for the last 4 months

Whine: idk how we had so much stuff! It feels like we have unpacked all that needs to be in the living room and we still have multiple boxes labeled "living room"

[laurski81]

Whine: My supply has tanked. Tanked. I can barely pump anything anymore and it is not for my lack of trying.
Win: I do still have frozen BM and it should last me until Cece hits the 6 month mark if I use that with my fresh stuff.
Whine: I think my frozen BM makes her super gassy and hurts her stomach. I don't know this for a fact and honestly think it is just her digestive system in general but she seems worse after the frozen stuff and I don't know if I should continue giving it to her or throw it all out. It doesn't smell funny or anything and doesn't taste bad either.
Whine: I have an awful head cold and I think both kids have it now too. My sister called me today to tell me that Henry threw up but he doesn't have a fever and said other than being congested he is acting normal. She told me that she would just keep him because she's not sure if the puking was due to really not feeling well or all the running around he was doing right after he ate. He hasn't puked since.

Win: I went to Target and only bought what we needed. It was tough, but I put down the birthday cake oreos.

Whine: My sciatic is killing me and even the pregnancy massage is not doing much for my aching feet. I walk like a 80 year old right now.

Win: I have several bottles of wine stockpiled to deal with toddler tantrums and a newborn.

I'm love titting all the wins and LOLing at Ellison

[origamimommy]

Whine: Today marks my 3 year anniversary of the day I went back to work from maternity. Thanks for the fucking cry, Timehop.

Whine: Tyler had an awful drop off this morning, and I still get extremely emotional when he gets upset like that.

Whine: His teacher is a smoker and it's extremely obvious and now I don't know what to do.

Win: Ryan Adams released his version of 1989 so I'm listening to that.

Win: My work bestie finds out the sex of her baby tomorrow, which means I find out Wednesday. YAY!!! I can't wait.

[aylafsu1881]

origamimommy, I didn't get to comment in chat stew about it. Maybe mention the smoking to the director. Maybe the teacher can wear a different shirt to work while she smokes and change into a fresh one when she gets to daycare? This way she won't smell as strong.

[mightybee]

Win: I got so much shit organized the last few days with Dylan and my H out of town. I even had "free time." Life with just a baby to take care of seems worlds easier than it did with D!

Whine: I miss my little D. And my H.

Win: My mom said having D surprise visit her was the best. They had such a good time together.

Whine/Win: I'm starting to think about going back to work full-time. I'm feeling kind of blah with where I'm at now and have been itching to focus more on my professional identity. But then that means a huge shift from being with my kids all day/everyday (one that I'm not 100% sure I want to make right now). Still lots to think about but the wheels are turning.

[trixi282]

Whine: Apparently I'm an idiot and I forgot to pump this morning, so I was leaking all over the place, and didn't bring my pump to work.

Whine: I hand expressed in the sink just enough to stop dripping all over the place.

Win: I actually have work, billable work to do today, and the day is going fairly quickly.

Win: We got new furniture yesterday! A new sofa and 2 chairs in our family room, and new tables for the living room. I love it all.

Whine: It's Monday, and I'm butt tired. Simply exhausted, I want to go home and sleep.

Random: It's Monday, and H doesn't work Mondays. So he has the girls today... but the last 2 Mondays he hasn't done a damn thing for dinner.... Last week he did the "want to go to the store and we'll just grab dinner while we're out?" It's his way of getting out of preparing dinner. Chump.

She found her open mouth kisses. She was licking my arm and side?

[xanthepants]

Win: pictures for the house are done and post me and H had a grown up nice conversation about it all afterwards.
Whine: day 3 migraine again. I hate periods. For the love of all that is holy.
Win: I had such a nice visit with Trixi this weekend, Joey is a doll and Cosette could learn a thing or 2 from her regarding sharing. Emmeline is a beauty and such a dream. I can't believe I got to meet her. You all should be jealous.

xanthepants, I'm glad the pictures are done and you and your H had a good talk. Hopefully he's finally coming around. I know my mom ended up having a hysterectomy because her migraines got so bad and were tied to her cycle. I hope you find something to give you relief. And yes, I am so jealous! I'm sad I missed it and am looking forward to another chance soon!

Joey is a pretty good sharer most of the time, she happened to have a good day Saturday.  But Cosette was very sweet too, and I adore her!  Even if she had a mini-meltdown - did you notice J just standing there like "oh, why is she crying? I'll just wait here for her..."?  We have those too, you just didn't see any!   Joey had a blast and was so happy to have friends "at the new house" to play with! 

I can't wait to get together again soon!

Win: we had an employee appreciation/recognition luncheon thing on Friday at work. My boss nominated me for an award and I won $1,000!

Whine: it's taxed, and we are probably using most of it to buy new tires for H's car. I wanna go shopping :*-(

[bliz1712]

That's an awesome win @aineefarrahfowler. I hope you spend just s little on yourself, you deserve it.

[cbear]

I'm late but I have whines!

I had a super bad migraine yesterday, I seriously don't know how you do it xanthepants!! I had myself convinced i was having a stroke! I want to send you all the hugs because that was awful

Win: H took over kid duty and I basically went to bed at 7 last night.

Win: I got my last paycheck from the bank last week, plus my first paycheck at the school AND h got paid all in one week I feel like we won the lottery!!

Oh, what a great win! You should go shopping, girl - it is your award for being great employee, I would not spend it on H's car. No way!

[lkamenko]

It's Tuesday, can I continue this thread?

Whine: I was attempting to upgrade my IPhone5 to IOS9 and something went wrong and my phone got completely frozen. Went to Apple store and they told me it the known issue(well, why do you release new OS with known issues?) and they will fix it quickly.
40 minutes later they told me that they had to reset my phone and since I had screwed up my ICloud back up all my contacts, data and pictures (thousands of them) are gone...forever. I felt like I lost important part of my life. Seriously, as if big part of my identity is erased.

Win: I guess I can start my life all over again now, right?

[summergirl1211]

lkamenko, oh no! I'm so sad for you. Losing your pictures and everything is the worst. I know when I had my phone stolen awhile back I cried because I lost all of my newborn pics of Riley. It was devastating. Big hugs lady.

[starfishy]

Oh lkamenko I would have been in tears. I'm so sorry. Losing pictures is a huge fear of mine.

[bliz1712]

lkamenko, I feel your pain, I was there last year. My memory card on my phone failed and I lost at least 4 months of pictures, a majority of them from Eliza's first few months. now I'm crazy about backing them up.

[aimeefarrahfowler]

Anyone scared of losing your pictures, I've been using google photos. There's an app you can download and it will automatically backup all your pictures to your google account. It's better than icloud (to me) because it's unlimited free storage. It does resize pictures if they're bigger than 16mp, but my iPhone only has an 8mp camera, so im not losing anything. I'm really happy with it!

H uses this too and I signed into it on my phone so I can save his photos to shutterfly for when I make albums! He's awful at sending me pics he takes so I love this.

[paddyb]

aimeefarrahfowler, please spend some of that money on yourself...even if its just a little bit!
