Terrible Thursday Vents go here

[djc315]

I'm sorry, that sounds rough! TamiTaylor

I was annoyed, again, that DH thinks that baby duty is solely mine in the mornings. He opted to stay up late with me, but then was annoyed that I was letting N play around in the bed after he nursed instead of getting out of bed.

Also, he stayed in bed while I showered & N was playing in the living room. I just can't see myself staying in bed if the situation was reversed. Or not helping out in the morning if he was trying to get himself & the baby ready to leave. It's one thing if he's not there, but I think not helping when he is there is a total dick move.

[lolo]

My kid sucks at sleep. The longest stretch we got was 2 hours. You are not a newborn, kid!

[slipsey]

I placed an order with zulily on nov 22. I finally got an email that it had shipped dec 8. Now it seems the package has been lost. I don't want a refund, I want the socks I ordered. Wah!

The budget deal that Congress is currently working on would cut funding for federal student loan servicing...if that happens a significant portion of DH's company will be laid off (100+)

I totally thought it was Wednesday today. Huh.

Yay, we're closer to the weekend than you thought!

[winecheery]

DD woke up once last night per her norm, if she's gonna wake up, but instead of eating/rocking, anything normal that would help her go back down, she wanted to stay up and hang out…omg it was adorable, but at the same time 4:30am isn't exactly prime socialization hour girly! She was like I'M AWAKE and you should be AWAKE toooooo!

This actually isn't that big of a vent but considering that I'm so tired today I feel like I'm hungover…maybe it was worse then I remember in my MOTN stupor...

[winecheery]

eeeek TamiTaylor that's no bueno :-(

This is not mom or kid related in any way.

We're going to do this big physical fitness initiative at my school.

Part of the kickoff program is supposed to be a demo of sumo wrestling, but in those big sumo suits (you know the ones.)  From what I understand, the point is to demonstrate to the kids how difficult it is for overweight/obese people to exercise.



I don't like the sumo suits to begin with, but we're going to use them to teach kids how hard it is to be fat? 

I have an email sent asking for clarification since I'm HOPING I'M wrong in my understanding.  (But I don't think I am.)  And if I'm right  plan on doing everything in my power to keep this from happening.  It is SO fucking insuling it's not even funny.

I'm having BF pain again and can't tell if it's thrush, vasospasms, or what. I think DS's latch is fine. I'm ready to throw in the towel but I really wanted to past at least 6 months.

DS1 threw up twice in the night from coughing and only slept maybe 3 hours. The baby cried every time I attempted to put him down. So changing the sheets twice, giving 2baths to get all the vomit off him and finding new pillows was really fun while the baby screamed the whole time. Poor kiddos (and H & I) had a really rough night. The day is looking like more of the same, but add in diarrhea and overtired kids.
Yuck. Yuckity, yuck, yuck.

Oh, and the receptionist at the clinic said I was so lucky to stay with the kids. I am, but I really don't think today was the day to tell me how lucky I am. Yup, I am lucky to smell like puke and deal with sick kiddos all day long. On days like this, I am pretty sure my H feels lucky he gets to leave the house and not deal with it for the day.

Vent over. Thanks for letting me get it out. Back to soothing and calming the boys.

stealthmom eek, that sumo suit thing sounds bizarre!

Well, my dog got attacked by an off leash and out of control dog in the park this morning. She's fine, but I was so angry at the owner. His dog came running up to my (leashed, under control) dog in the park and he yelled at me not to drop her leash after his dog went into scary attack mode. I was wearing Audrey and I didn't know what else to do...at least that way my dog could run/defend herself (which she did). He didn't even have a leash for his dog, which I bitchily recommended that he remedy after he wrestled his dog to the ground and apologized.

Yeah, and I just got clarification that it's pretty much what I thought it was going to be, although it won't be an actual sumo demonstration.  It's just going to be a demonstration of how much it sucks to be fat IN sumo suits.

I get to wake up my super cranky toddler for a second day in a row so I can go pick his sister up from school. FUUUUUUCCCCKKKKKK

This ENRAGES me.  I have a dog that ignores other leashed dogs but doesn't tolerate unleashed dogs.  We were attacked in the on-leash section of a local park last year, which didn't help his issues either.  I hate when asshole owners have their dogs off-leash.  I usually yell at them to leash their dogs and they almost always say "its okay, he's friendly!"  That's great, asshole, but MY dog isn't and you are in the effing leashed area of the park!

I'm glad to hear that your pup is okay, dog attacks are so scary.

  Please share the script with us if it happens. "Hi kids, want to see how much being fat sucks? Try on this suit.  See? Fat people can't do anything.  Now go find the nearest fat person and tell them what you learned today."

My vent: Something at work is really, super, extra pissing me off right now.  It's not my fault people are incompetent and I'm not going to redo my work because of it so leave me alone. 

Lucky for DS, when he woke me up at 2:30a to nurse he was too darn cute to be annoyed. "Mulk pease? Tan to! (thank you)"  Now if only he could learn to politely let me sleep! 

[redheadk]

I'm just having one of those days. Nothing in particular other than having too much to do and not enough hours in the day thanks to having to take the dog to an unplanned vet visit for what turned out to basically be a dog pimple. Someone else there was putting their dog down, though, so I've tried to just chill about it and be thankful it's not cancer.

I was a lucky one who GAINED weight BFing.

Yeah, I think this is happening to me too! So much for burning 800 calories a day, or whatever it's supposed to be. I want to scream bullshit at everyone who says bfing helps weight loss :/

I'm here too. It sucks balls.

DH is away on a business trip. DD woke up every hour last night. I'm tired.

It's not going to happen if I have anything to say about it!  Which I have (said something about it) and I emailed the coordinator with alterntive ideas.  Let's hope she's receptive!

Also- I'm super hungry.  I ate my lunch two hours ago.

Hang in there!!

I've been searching for a new rental for us. We currently rent a single family home and I really dislike it. It's claustrophobic (not necessarily because of size, more because of the lack of natural light that comes into the house). And it's small, too. I saw a listing for an apartment in a town that we love and looked at it with the girls this afternoon. It was also small, but had lots of light and the flow just seemed better. And it's was $450 less a month. I really, really wanted to leave a deposit but couldn't without talking to DH, who I didn't get in touch with until later, and who said he wanted to talk about it more tonight.

Not surprisingly, it's since been rented. I'm more bummed that I would have thought, especially since the space wasn't absolutely ideal, but it had a lot going for it (I could have walked to Trader Joe's!).

[toesie]

I'm getting a bonus but it's a lot less that I expected, it's even less that last year. I'm so disappointed.

Try heat? There are also meds if it's vasospasm and gets really bad. You may have to get the info from an LC.

[countthestars]

Ugh @djc I was just coming in to say the same thing. H is somewhat helpful MOTN (kind of) but doesn't get up in the morning with her ever! Like hello, I don't want to be up either...
