Ok so let’s hear your complaints.. could be anything. My neck and back is killing me. My heating pad broke, my SO has the car and I’m gonna lose my mind if i can’t move around for the next 7hrs.
I’m going on day 55 of this cycle. With no period in sight. I’ve taken 2 pregnancy tests - both negative. (Not on any BC but DH has had a vasectomy with clear results.)
I have no idea wtf is going on with my body but now I’m worried it’s something serious or??

My husband had one job tonight.... Put the dinner in the oven when he got home from the gym so we could all eat as soon as the kids and I got home at 7:30. I have been running around doing holiday shit for three straight days and had to take DD to an appointment after school. We discussed this TWICE today. I sent him the recipe. ALL HE HAD TO DO WAS POUR THE CREAM OF MUSHROOM SOUP OVER THE PREMADE FUCKING CASSEROLE AND PUT IT IN THE OVEN FOR AN HOUR. I walk into the house and he had literally just put it in 15 minutes prior and he had forgotten to pour the mushroom soup over it. I haven't eaten since noon and I'm so mad and hungry.
My H is in the middle of interviews for his PhD internship. He's super stressed and I'm super over all this supportive BS. It's not him at all that I'm getting tired of, but the whole process is a giant PITA for a freaking 1 year internship that requires us both to relocate our lives and I'm tired of being in limbo waiting to find out where we land. And I feel like I need to keep my feelings about the whole thing mostly to myself since he's already super stressed and knowing I'm stressed is only going to stress him more when it's critical that he can focus and do well.
Add on top of that that my family is celebrating Christmas together this year, without me, and I'm kind of emotional lately. It's annoying lol.

I did something to my foot a week and a half ago and it still hurts, especially after walking all day. No idea what happened. I'm also ready for the holidays to be over, I'm a Grinch.
My dad said I looked nice and he could tell I lost weight. My mom said "you can't tell she's lost anything with what she's wearing today." (Leggings and a long shirt. I was running to the grocery store and that was it.) I don't understand why she always feels the need to do that. Constantly reminds me that I'm heavy. No shit.
I really want matzo ball soup. I've had it twice years ago and loved it. I have no idea where to get it though, especially without driving super far. Any Pittsburghers have any recommendations? I'm south of the South Hills, work in South Hills.

My kid is perfectly fine all day but as soon as H gets home he starts acting like a butt. H says it’s the same when he’s with him all day and I come home. Boom. As soon as the other parent comes home he’s an ass.

Sorry about your mom, unfortunately, she sounds like mine

I am sorry. Is your mom heavy? I have noticed that people who do this are many times in the same situation but either not currently working towards losing weight, or is trying and not having luck and they feel the need to tear others down who are. I am not sure I wrote that out correctly, but I hope you get what I am saying. Tune her out and keep doing what you're doing!

I really dislike my sons kindergarten teacher. My 5 year old needs some prompting to get things done. Mostly remembering to get his folder out of his bag in the AM. I’ve mentioned it to her before and She ALWAYS uses the excuse “there’s 22 of them and 1 of me!”
Today she sent his work home in his bag, with a note to send his folder everyday. His folder is always in his bag!
She has also sent my son home on the wrong bus earlier in the year. And during parent conferences in October it was obvious she was confusing him with another kid (she mentioned excessive absences as a reason he was behind, but my son was only absent one time).
This ones probably my kids fault, but at least twice a month, he “accidentally” buys lunch instead of eating what I packed him. So annoying!!
I need to go move the elf and I'm comfy in bed. DH isn't here and even if I text him to do it when he gets home I'll wake up at like 3am worried he didn't do it. Then I'll go check and never fall asleep.

Sometimes we forget and then just tell the girls she was way too tired to fly back. Then I moved her while they were at school and I was out of the house most of the day and this blew their mind. lol

Yes, she is. Whenever she starts to lose weight she stops trying, too.

1 cup matzoh meal 1/3 cup vegetable oil 1/2 cup (plain) seltzer 4 eggs 1 tsp salt Pepper
Beat eggs. Add other ingredients. Mix thoroughly, refrigerate 30min. Bring large pot of water to boil, throw some broth in there too. Make balls (1/4 cup? Just take a scoop) and drop in boiling water. Don’t drop too many, they need room to expand. Allow to float to surface, then let cook for 15min or so. Fish out with slotted spoon to let the water drain out. Enjoy perfection.

I'm sorry. It is not the exact same thing, but my mom comes from a long line of blunt speakers which is often critical, but with love! anyway, any time she came to my house nearly the first things said was something critical about my house. And finally I just told her, you cannot come to my house and say that. I am not asking you your opinion and what you are saying, pointing out the obvious is not helpful. If you cannot come over and just be nice, don't come over at all.
You are doing something positive for yourself. Be proud of that and keep at it even when it gets hard or discouraging. I am in the process and have been hitting a rough patch, but the alternative of all my hard work so far going down the drain is not acceptable.
Her comments are about her and her issues and feelings about herself and sadly she feels the need to put them on you.
Hang in there, listen to your dad who sees you. really sees you.

I got what I thought was the last of my holiday deliveries today (did all but the stockings on line). Went to wrap what would literally be the last present and found that Amazon sent the wrong damn size.
My supervisor wants to do bahn mi for breakfast allllll the time. Like, it's not my favorite sandwich because I'm not a fan of pickled vegetables or the chicken pate she gets but it's good enough for lunch. But I really want breakfasty foods for breakfast, like pastries, doughnuts, egg products, etc. I'll tell her politely that I'd rather not have breakfast or say it's ok I'm not hungry, and she just pushes and pushes until I give in. And I wind up having to pay for my portion that I don't even really want.

I’m bloated and look 6 months pregnant. I’m not pregnant at all, nope. I have awful heartburn and I’m taking omeprazole for terrible heartburn. All my lab work comes back normal -no infections or fever. An ultrasound is scheduled for beginning of January. I think my gallbladder is crapping out.
This fatigue feeling is making this holiday season a crappy one. Ugh!

Can you suggest a place?
I have. I end up having to bring that in addition to the sandwich....She always makes sure I have the bahn mi. It's nice. But I'm tired of bahn mi.
She always gives me string cheese too. I like the string cheese. So I give her one of my granola bars in kind. lol
I think my 40 year old dh still believes in santa. I mean it’s the only thing that could explain the lack of participation in the holiday. It’s so exhausting to do everything.

I’ve had to sleep sitting up for a week after sinus surgery. I’m so over this and cranky and sore. I should get cleared to lay flat tomorrow after lunch and OMG I cannot wait for the nap I’m gonna take!!!!!!!!
I’ve also pretty much emptied my DVR and have moved on to Hallmark/Lifetime movies. I’m really hoping Santa brings me a universal remote so I can watch Netflix on our bedroom tv again
