I'm already sick of hearing and seeing everything about the Super Bowl. Even though I'm a pats fan and am very happy we won, it's over. Move on. Talk about something else for crying out loud.
It hasn't even been 24 hours yet...
I know, I feel like such a grinch. But it's all H and BIL will talk about today. It's getting annoying.
So my kids (3 and 1.5) both have colds and it is making them so cranky. Getting DD1 to school today was a nightmare. We were up a half hour early and still ended up leaving the house late because literally everything ended up in a crying fit. Bathroom? FIT! Shoes? FIT! Breakfast? FIT! Hair? FIT! Sitting around kind of calm and then all of a sudden realizes there is snot in her nose? EPIC FIT! I believe this is all because she can't decide which she hates more: Having snot run down her face, or having me wipe her nose. For some reason, wiping her own nose is no longer on the table.
And DD2 has coughed so much that she lost her voice, and she breaks down into the saddest silent cry over literally everything, especially when DD1 starts crying.
Oh no poor babies and poor momma. I hope they feel better soon.
I am seriously getting frustrated with sleeping on my side or with a wedged pillow under my hip so I don't lay completely flat. My back is killing me from it and then my hip starts hurting. I need some relief... I feel the couch/recliner is about to become my bed for the next 3 months or so.
I roll up a small blanket and use a pretty flat pillow to help me not lay completely flat. Maybe the blanket may help!! I also take Benadryl to help me sleep/help with my stuffy nose.

Yeah I currently use the boppy wedge pillow under my hips and a pillow behind my back so I won't lay completely flat but it still kills my back.

I feel you, sleeping is so shitty right now. I swear I turn in circles all night long. My snoogle is not cutting it this time around.
brittneysandraallisong87 thank you, I'm trying to stay calm and not overthink until we get there I really hope it is just an infection antibiotics can treat I stress about her so much she raised me I get so worked up over these things.
I hope everything turns out fine! T&Ps are with her.

I'm going to be the 500th person so complain about the snow. I'm supposed to come in to work at 2 b/c the heaviest snowfall will have ended around then. However snow will continue to accumulate and we are going to have icy roads later (as my boss warned us). So let's put employees at risk to serve the 2 clients that will actually come in. I'm pregnant and DH has a congenital heart condition that prevents him from being able to do things like shovel. But I can't wait until whenever the plow guy comes around. I'm already annoyed and DH is super PO'd that I'm going to do it and not call in sick so it's looking to be a great day. Ok bitch over. Edited for grammar
I don't want to sound like an ungrateful bitch, but I am going to. After my break up with my kids dad, I had no money to move away from him, so my parents offered me my old room back. This, is am extremely grateful for. My bitch is that I don't want to share a room with my 18 month old, I don't want to always take cold showers cause so many people live here. I don't want to hear everyone's opinion on my daughters!!! Ughhhh! Okay, rant over.
I can completely understand/sympathize. I had my DD young so I lived with my mom (stepdad, sister, brother, 2 stepsisters) it sucked. DD and I didn't actually have a room.
Any idea how long you'll have to stay there? I'm sorry you're in that situation.
Thanks,I actually should be out my march/April so it's not too bad. Just having a hard morning dealing with it all! I can't imagine living with as many people as you did plus my child. Your stronger than me lol!

So I am pretty sure I have that disorder where listening to other people eat/chew makes you want to go straight up postal (my poor husband has been victim of my anger towards his chewing). If my coworker puts one more piece of chex mix in her mouth I envision myself walking up to her and slapping her hand. She chews with her mouth closed for the most part but the initial chew is done with her mouth open so I hear crunch, saliva, CRUNCH. I may murder someone.

I have this, it's called misophonia. I share an office and my office mate is the worst offender in the whole world. He SLURPS his tea every morning like a child. He manages to make things that aren't even crunchy so loud when he eats them. He eats corn a lot and I swear to god it's like he tries to make it as loud as he possibly can, because he doesn't even close his mouth the whole way when he chews. I seriously get ragey just thinking about it. And he eats breakfast, lunch, and early dinner at his desk every.single.day. I dread 9am, 12pm, and 4pm. A lot of times I have to get up and leave, I just can't handle it.

So, you're not alone.
UGH!!! I completely feel you. I shared an office with a guy just like this. He would eat cucumbers WHOLE. One day he ate a gallon size (<-- yes a gallon size) bag of celery. I was in such sensory overload that when I got home my H tried to eat a bag of chips with me in the room and I had to leave. Luckily my boss moved that coworker to the back of the office FAR FAR away from me. I have been trying really hard to get it under control because I literally see red when people eat around me, but nothing I do makes me less angry about it. Bah.

I was awake this morning from 3:30-7am working, finally got back to sleep around 7 before my next call at 9, and my mom calls at 7:30, waking me up. The worst part is I was having the most amazing dream where I'd just found hundreds of boxes of peanut butter M&Ms in my dresser drawers and I was just about to start eating them all when I got woken up.... That dream was seriously going to be better than a sex dream. Mmmmmm... Now I am craving peanut butter M&Ms...
I am supposed to be putting together our tax papers for the accountant today and I am just googling freezer meal ideas instead... way more fun!
Ooh, you just reminded me to file ours this afternoon. Thanks!
I'm actually feeling pretty peaceful this Monday. Just wish DS hadn't slept in the pack n play in TN for 2 nights because he's waking up twice nightly on his big boy bed now, and he'd been doing soooooo well!
snapdragon sounds like your girls haven't been themselves for a few days now. May they feel better soon and give you some sanity back!
They really haven't. Ugh I shouldn't have even sent DD to school today; the teacher called me and said she wasn't being herself at all, and she had one of those almost-fevers (99.9), so I went and got her. Then when I asked if anything hurt, she said her ear hurt, so we're going to the dr. this afternoon. I'll have them check out DD2's ear while we're at it. My kids have never had ear infections before (through some miracle), so it never even occurred to me to think about it.
Fuck I am crabby today! I have a designer coming this week to check in on a project that he has been incapable of making decisions on, and leaving them all to me, but then not liking the decisions that I make. The project is supposed to be nearing completion when he gets here, but it is far from and makes me want to cry. My assistant is as worthless as tits on a bull, and I can't sleep at night anymore. Thank god for this thread, so I can get that out.

I feel another sinus infection coming on so I stayed home from work today. I decided to go to the little clinic to get checked out. The doctor at the Little clinic was overly cautious, and refused to give me any kind of antibiotic. I was pissed since the antibiotic is the only thing that actually works for me. She instead prescribed me a nasal spray. I went to pick up this nasal spray, and total cost was $150.... Are you effing kidding me? Yeah. No. I left without my prescription, and decide to just come home and rest. Hopefully it goes away on its own soon.

Just curious, how long has your DS been in a big boy bed? Looks like he is a month older than DD - based on your siggy. I tried transitioning her when she started to climb out the crib at 15mo and it was a disaster! So she has been in a sleep sack ever since. But now my little ninja has learned how to break out of the sleep sack! Ahhh!
I'm sorry for all the bad days and sicknesses going on.... stupid Mondays and stupid winter!! Happy, healthy thoughts coming your way.
So I just heard from my doctor's office. I failed my 1 hour GD test. UGHHHH. I am so pissed and so upset. I know the 3-hour test may have a different result, but I am terrified of it (they always have trouble finding my veins, I am so busy at work that I don't have time, yada yada). I have been incredibly lucky with this pregnancy and had very few symptoms or complaints so I feel like I am bound to fail the 3 hour (it's only fair, right?). I am pissed at myself for eating my face off, too. Dammit.

jerseyakl - With each kid, I fail my 1-hour and pass the 3-hr. Don't worry yet. There is still a glimmer of hope!
To everyone else, (because I'm too sick/tired to tag everyone) sorry about the sick family members, sorry you are sick, sorry about the weather, sorry about crappy coworkers, and sorry about the sad tv commercials and the Super Bowl. I hope that covered everything.

Just found out they moved all my appointments so I don't have to dig myself out today- they did this for my safety. So now I feel like a bitch for my previous bitch.

Possible TMI....So I finally picked up our 8ft tall mirror that we used at my Aunt's farm house as a decoration for our wedding in sept 2013. I was super excited to use it to trim my lady jungle today cause the mirror sits on the floor, and I still somehow managed to cut myself several times with the trimmers. Fuck this, I guess I will just be hairy the rest of my pregnancy.
veganontuesdaysshmee Are we the same person? Mouth noises drive me absolutely crazy! The worst is even when DH's mouth is closed, his chewing is still super loud.
My bitch is at the downside of being super productive this past weekend - I was so achy that I couldn't get comfortable to sleep last night. I even started building a pillow fort around me in the bed, it only marginally helped. I can't bring myself to splurge for a pregnancy pillow right now, but after last night it's mighty tempting.
Hope all the sick kiddos and mama's feel better. Hope all you snowed in mama's stay warm.
My bitch is that I have gone to Ikea 2 weekends in a row (2 hour drive) to get a crib. First weekend, they didn't have the crib I wanted to look at, so I decided I would just order one online... Well, I got home and tried to order it and it was out of stock. So my mom and I went up this weekend and it was out of stock in store too!!! So, this weekend will be my third trip to get the damn crib! A guy that helped us gave me a number to call to make sure that it gets held for me, so that is a relief, but I just want a crib already!!
IKEA is a pain in the ass. This piece of furniture I wanted forever would keep showing online that they had 2 available but no one could ever locate them.
Sorry to everyone dealing with weather and illness.
My bitch is that my washer is NOT getting fixed today. A part needs to be ordered.
I think on my lunch tomorrow I'm going to have to go to Target and buy socks. I am refusing to go to the laundromat.
robotpcr I feel your pain on being washer-less. We're in an apartment complex and we called Thursday morning because our washer stopped spinning? I don't know anything about the mechanics but DH said it wasn't spinning anymore because the gears were ground out or something? Anyway, we are one of 2 units in the entire huge complex that has our own washer and dryer in our actual apartment, the rest share a community one. So when we called and told them, they never showed up. Called again Friday, never showed up. DH finally called again this morning, and they've been checking our community washer instead of the one in our apartment. Why the F wouldn't they call us to be like "uhh hey, nothing's wrong" and then we could have told them they're looking at the wrong one!
Last time something stopped working it took 2 weeks to get the new part, I am gonna be livid if that happens again. Our laundry is piling up and I hate that there's nothing I can do about it!
