Last night was dd's first night in her crib. She woke up twice to eat, and I think twice because her binky fell out. Tonight I'm going to try to pull the binky out before she's fully asleep and see if that helps. She used to sleep for 5 hours at a time, but this week it's been 3. Ugh. I want my good sleeper back.
I'm walking a dog in a parade tonight for the humane society. Last time I took a dog to an event for them, it got off leash and ran around the parking lot for a good 15 minutes. Here's hoping tonight goes better, lol.
My baby shower is this Saturday. MIL hadn't RSVPd so on Monday I texted her asking if she got the invitation, she said she didn't but she would be coming of course. Great, I say I'll tell friend throwing the shower.
Then MIL asks if I want her to make sure GMIL got hers too. Sure why not. Then she asks if she can invite FILs half sister that I *might* have met on my wedding day. MIGHT HAVE. Seriously?
So I ask H if I've even met her and he's like "I'VE barely met her!" so he calls MIL and says please no, don't invite her, it would be weird. MIL whines about random extended family not bring invited so maybe they should just plan a family GTG and not come to shower, H handles it as I pull my hair out.
After he hangs up with her she texts me again asking if I can give her my friend's phone number so she can RSVP. 1.) I ALREADY SAID I WOULD TELL HER 2.) The phone number is on the invite I just texted a picture of to you 3.) You got a "save the date" email which you DID get and sent a pic of to me which you could just reply to anyway.
Fast forward to yesterday when she texts me that GMIL can't come after all because its the bday party for FILs half sister (that I MIGHT have met) and oh by the way SHE SAID SHE WOULD HAVE LIKED TO COME TO YOUR SHOWER.
Bitch why did you tell her about it when we already said we weren't inviting her??
Yes she is already in BEC territory with me for many reasons, one of which being she said she's going to camp out at the hospital while I give birth. NO.
@fs That is annoying. Re: the hospital...my mom wanted to do the same thing. That's why she wasn't alerted to the fact that I was in the hospital (the same one she worked at, haha) until hours after I was admitted.
Our inspection for the house sale is this weekend. Everyone cross your everythings that this goes well...I need to dump this mortgage STAT!
What is it about babies that makes people extra-crazy?
I mean, she's super crazy as is, but since I got pregnant she's upped her game. She's very passive aggressive, lays the guilt trips on thick, and says so many inappropriate things all the damn time. I just don't understand the thought process behind any of it.
Speaking of MIL's mine leaves tomorrow after living with us for 3 weeks after knee surgery!!! Last bath I have to help with tonight, last meal I cook her that is not good enough, last beer I drink in front of her that is "not necessary".

Dude, you know she got that invitation. But some how felt slighted. Then decided to wait for you to call, so she could be an ass hat. My MIL is the same brand of crazy.

I totally believe she did get it and said she didn't in some kind of weird PA power play.
Whatever. I sometimes pretend I don't get half the asinine texts she sends me.
@fs, we didn't call the ILs until I was actively pushing, knowing they would have a 3+ hour drive to get to us. I suggest you call your MIL about the baby when you're already home. Or never.
I've been getting the worst headaches and chills every afternoon after lunch. Usually takes a night of sleep to shake it.

Lol, I pretend to never check my email. She sends giant walls of text regularly. That are attention seeking/ trying to start drama. I do my best to not engage with the crazy.
I went out on a date last night. The guy made non-stop puns. Jigsy: So what do you like to do on the weekends? Punster: I like to play tennis. Its a real racket, but I always have a ball.
Jigsy: I prefer natural history museums to art museums Punster: Me too. Some people have a real bone to pick about it though.
Jigsy: I like Netflix shows Punster: Oh, I don't watch much TV, which ones do you like? Jigsy: Stranger Things, Master of None, Orange is the New Black Punster: Oh, OITNB - thats about Trumps campaign, right?
mp thinks maybe he was nervous...who resorts to puns when they are nervous!

I am needing to check out of being a mom and worker. I want to sit in front of a tv and eat chips and dip for an entire weekend. I'm over being responsible right now. I want to be care free and reckless.
but I only have 3 days of unscheduled time off left this year and I need to save them for snow days/sick kids. grumble grumble grumble.

@fs, my MIL insisted on hanging out in the waiting room too. I didn't really care because H and I just ignored her all day lol. A few months later, she mentioned how "hard" it was to sit in the waiting room the whole day. Ok lady, because the day was a breeze for me too. And I totally forced you to sit there all day. Weirdo
God Papyrus should really start stocking this card.
The funny/sad thing is I would totally get this for my H, and we would both laugh about it for a second and then be sad again. Because this is where we are right now. I hope it passes.
At my niece's baby shower this weekend, one of the guests asked her when they were going to adopt their next baby. Um, WTF lady, calm your tits. My new great nephew is only ~4 weeks old, maybe let niece and her H settle into parenthood before harassing them about more kids. I didn't hear this conversation or I probably would have told her she was being rude and obnoxious (because hey, I don't know this person and will never see her again, so why shouldn't I speak up).
Also while I was down there my step aunt had a stroke. Thankfully she's going to be OK, because I thought I was going to end up feeling obligated to stay in town extra days if she died to be there for my dad and other aunt. I have zero relationship with step aunt (wouldn't even know her if I walked into her on the street), but I would have felt bad leaving when I could have realistically stuck around. I'm a bad person.
Someone on the phone just told me to have a "majestic" day. It kind of made my afternoon!
ETA- Ugh, H just texted that the shop who has our car just pushed back our pickup date again to Monday or Tuesday, from Friday, after already pushing it back a week once. I am so freaking tired of not having my car, and we're not exactly made of money, so continuing to pay for a rental totally blows. Plus, petty, but I hate our rental. It's a Ford Focus Titanium hatchback and it's so low to the ground and so cramped when all three of us ride in it, ugh. The worst part is that they are pushing it back because they didn't listen to H when he told them the sub-frame needs work, so they only did the body repairs and just finally put it up on the lift after H called them about it three times. Lo and behold, the sub-frame needs work. I feel like ripping all of my hair out. There goes my majestic day. lol
We are signing off on the appraisal results and closing costs on the new place. This means we're getting close to closing, right? Right? This process needs to come with a checklist so you can see where you are in the typical approval timeline.
Work has been madness. Receptionist out on well-deserved vacation; back-up secretary out due to serious family medical situation; I was out last week for marketing events. So I'm trying to play catch up on 4 days out of the office, cover the desk 2-3 hours every day, and solve everyone's damn problems because receptionist and secretary aren't here. Plus the audit office is asking for 4-5 full days' worth of work on account questions from 2009 and 2010; back then all I did was prep and file papers. Every one else involved with their actual questions has left or retired. And after I do all of this work on ancient history, they'll either pretend they don't understand my responses or slap my wrist because the office did it wrong back in the day. I pushed back and gave it to my boss, hoping they can stop the foolishness. This week does not have enough alcohol on deck.

Marry. Him. It will be like the rest of your life is spent with a Skipper from The Jungle Cruise.

my mom called me earlier to run a fb post by me before she hit post. it was a rant, calling out my cousins (mostly my father's nieces and nephews) because he helps them all the time and they haven't donated to the Leukemia walk fundraiser. (my dad has CML and my work has a team that raises money for the light the night walk, myself and my parents signed up and are walking) I told my mom that yes, they may be jerks, but posting a rant will only accomplish a family war, and besides my own brother hasn't even donated! she calmed down and didn't post her rant. I just want my dad to get to walk proudly with the survivor light and have a great time, and that more people get to call themselves survivors of leukemia and lymphoma.
After the first pun (so, like 2 minutes in) I did the whole ba-dum-che sound. He was like, Don't do that, it makes me feel like my joke didn't really land.
If I would have done it after every terrible joke, I wouldn't have had time to say anything else.
I'm bored out of my mind and it's only day 3. I walked around Lord and Taylor for a few hours trying to find a dress for the wedding Saturday. Found one, but really just don't want to go and sit in a chair for 6 hours 😕
