Deep Thoughts/ Tuesday Evening Randoms

[turtlegirl]

I am only 32 weeks pregnant, but just feel huge and done already. The days I ride the train to work and sit at my office all day are just so uncomfortable. Hopefully I only have 3 or 4 weeks left of actually going into the office.

I selfishly don't want to go much longer than the 37 weeks both my previous pregnancies have lasted.

PB Teen sent me an embroidered binder and some sort of bag at my old address. I did not order it. It was for someone with my same name that lives in a different suburb. The street names begin with the same letter but otherwise not the same. The shipping info is correct on the packing slip and was originally correct on the shipping label but then another label was placed over the top with my old info. So weird.

I've called twice and UPS has yet to pick it up. UGH. I'm just going to drop it at Goodwill bc WTF, I'm not chasing down PB Teen and UPS after having to go out of my way to pick this shit up at my old house. Anyone want a binder and bag with the name Lily on them?

I just found out my 19 yo cousin is pregnant. She has serious medical problems ( Crohn's) so bad she had to go to a school for medically involved teens. Baby Daddy is a 24 year old recovering drug addict who spent 15 months in jail recently.

He is super disrespectful to her & his family is super gross ( just really disrespectful & awful & trashy)

Her Dad just died & she found out she was pregnant a week later. I am so sad that she is taking this on so young & how hard this is going to be for her. She's a really sweet and a nice girl. She just deserves better

PS they break up once a week publically on FB

Thanks to the Chinese thread, I had beef and garlic sauce for dinner. #sogreasy #sogood

Really crappy BFing day. Discouraged.

[rugbywife]

Both of my kids are currently sleeping. It is a miracle. I just ate a great dinner but it wasn't filling enough. I want to eat all.the.bad.things. Will drink a glass of water instead.

Today was a shitty day. DH started his course and has been MISERABLE as a result. DD was super cranky and DS wouldn't sleep much. I, surprisingly, took it all in stride. Except for when I was waiting in line at the drive through at Starbucks. Both kids were SCREAMING. And of course, when that happens, the line takes FOREVER to move forward.

I ate too much at dinner.

Thankfully an after dinner walk up and down hills while pushing the stroller makes me feel slightly less guilty.

Also one drink and I was buzzed. Lame.

[redheadk]

@savestheday That's sad. Is she planning to keep the baby?

@notquiteblushing I'm sorry, that's rough. You're doing great. The beginning is SO hard!



DD napped for 20 minutes today and DH has a work cocktail thing so won't be home until late. She is so grumpy, it sucks, and it's just been a shitshow around here this afternoon, culminating in her sobbing on the dog bed. I'm thinking we might go get Chick-Fil-A (shut it, all of you, I want that lemonade) then do an early bed time.

Perfect beach day. No clouds. Or sharks lol

and it's always some jackass that ordered 5 complicated drinks for other people. I hate when people use the drive through for that.

I have no idea what it was, because I wasn't watching, because I was flipped over, looking into the backseat, trying to shove DS's paci into his mouth while he screamed, which doesn't really work, while shaking his car seat, which also (thankfully, lol), doesn't really work.  But it was one of those cases where I felt like I deserved a coupon.

+1. Though we should have quit while we were ahead because we followed the beach with swimming in the pool and let's just say the bummis did not contain the code brown.

About to do Tae Boe Cardio Sculpt. I always getting a few minutes of anxiety beforehand bc I know how hard the workout is.

I wrote this post 12 min ago and have been browsing gbcn ever since. This place is like a black hole.  I'm now debating not even doing my workout bc I've gotten lazy in 12 minutes even though I have my workout clothes on already.

No joke, I have spent hours on here without realizing it. It is kind of scary.

Ok, so we have a realtor now. Offer going in tomorrow, probably? I need a paper bag and maybe some Xanax.

cool!  What's the house like??

Costco margarita was on sale, so of course, I had to buy one.

In other beverage-related news, I'm lately addicted to lemonade and Arnold Palmers. I'm going to turn into a lemon soon.

My office has water damage from the flooding last night. Second time this year. The fan sound you guys. It's bad. Thankfully a co-worker is OOT all week so I text him and told him I was using his office.

Wasn't his procedure today? Is there a recovery period? Maybe it will improve tomorrow.

[bananapancakes]

Hugs @notquiteblushing. The beginning can be so difficult. I know you know this but feel free to vent and/or ask questions here.

Sorry about the crappy day rugbywife. What course is your H taking?

@vicmo, squee! Good luck!

I am so mad with the damn zoning rules. Our property is outlined in yellow. Where we wanted to put our shed is in pink. We learned we need 15 feet from our fence so that won't work. So the only other area that is flat enough and won't be in the middle of our yard is marked in purple. Not where I wanted the shed and we have to pull stuff up to prep that area so it's going to be a pain. Why can't I just put a shed where I want on my property?! Ugh!

My 3 kids are sitting in one box watching Tom and Jerry together. It's kind of sweet.

Daniel Tiger is a whiny bitch.

I hate you all for recommending him.

Yeah. She's like the oldest in her friend group to have a kid. Most are on their second kids uggh. She doesn't believe in abortion. I have no idea what she will do for childcare since she works 2 PT retail jobs & her BF works full time ( making like 10.00 an hour). Her Mom workd the overnight so she has to sleep during the day. I have no idea who will help her with the baby. Her grandma is in her late 70s & not in good health & the BFs family. Uhm. No.

She wanted to go to college so bad. She just bought a brand new jeep with BIG payments & they live with her Mom. Uggh.

Yes. Thanks. He just screams at the boob 70% of the time now. It's so sad.

I am doing laundry in my brand new washer!!! Woooohoo!!!

[namasteak]

Does anyone here sell the Usborne books? I'm looking for 7 of the "that's not my" books.

I feel so much less pressure to clean after DS goes to bed since we hired cleaners. Smart move Nama!

You just need to calm down, @roseyposey. When you feel so mad that you want to roar...

I hate their stupid jingles. Every time I go to the bathroom I hear "Flush and wash and be on your way!" in my head.

[yellowbrkrd]

I had a long day at work. I am now laying in bed while DH does all of the chores. That man is too good to me.

Also, M is adorable. I left for work early this morning and got home pretty late. I said to him "I didn't get to see you all day." He laid his head on my chest, hugged me and said "all day..."

I just saw a trending thingy about Jessa Duggar being pregnant. I wonder how those girls are feeling now. I don't want them back on the air, but I also hate that they have lost their livelihood. I couldn't care less about the parents, but I hope the rest of the kids will be ok.
