Share your rants! Then I'll share mine.

Well just a mini-self identity crisis (am I really gonna be a mom?????) and back pain, back pain, and more back pain.
-
I'm about to lose it.
E was up like 6 times last night, his nap was crap at best, he's barely eaten anything, and he's super cranky and clingy and I want to cry because I barely slept and my patience is tapped. Seriously, we're watching Frozen for the second time today because I just.can't.deal right now.
I've spent all day on and off the phone with my local AAA, PA & NC DMVs. D's aunt sold us her old car for a song, but the logistics of getting it transferred to us (officially and physically) is giving me a headache. She already moved her license plate and registration to her new car, and mailed me a notarized bill of sale and the title, and I put it on our insurance last week. .
My ILs were going to drive down and pick it up, but without plates they can't. So our choices are either having D's super flighty aunt make and mail a tracing of the VIN so we can (hopefully) get a PA plate to send down with my ILs, or me or D will have to fly down to NC and get a temporary, in-transit license from a NC DMV.
It's not a huge deal, but it's all turning into a huge pain. Plus I've been stressing about E going to daycare next week, starting work in two weeks, how little we're all going to see each other, my clothes not fitting, how I look naked, my relationship with my spouse and how completely rejected I feel by pretty much everyone.
I'm counting down the minutes until bedtime so I can have a drink.

Bout to lose it over work stuff!

@lovehoneybee: hugs

@lovehoneybee:
Hugs!!I hardly slept last night cause I just can't anymore, and then DH's snoring kept waking me up. R woke up early and CRANKY. I was sad to leave her at day care but glad to not deal with molars today (well until tonight). DH is gone till Thursday. I am not in the mood to solo parent this week, over it.
And I have major cramps. Damn Mirena, why am I getting a period???
-
@Smurfette: Hugs... DH kept me up snoring too...
My day has sucked:
1. TTC is starting to get to me... I'm ready for this cycle (cycle 8 or 9, i can't remember) to end so I can start IUI
2. Half my co-workers are KU and it seems to be the big topic of conversation every.single.day (Oh my baby likes when I eat this, or not this, blah blah)
3. My husband pissed me off this weekend by being irresponsible and getting wasted friday night and not making it home till saturday evening
4. The day I was supposed to work, I got kicked off the network and since we don't have IT coverage on Sunday I was OOL
5. My MIL text "getting tattoo"
Today needs to end.. stat... -
@lovehoneybee: hugs
it sounds like the new job will be a positive change though!
-
I have bronchitis, so my sleep has been crap. I took a hit of my inhaler and the albuterol sent my heart rate soaring and kept me up for an hour, meaning I didn't go to bed until midnight. My daughter learned to roll from back to belly, which is cool except for when she does it in her sleep and then wakes up mad that she's on her belly. That happened a lot last night. I am so, so tired. On top of it, my husband is going out of town for work tomorrow and we just found out a few hours ago.
-
@lovehoneybee: That's a lot going on!
Sounds like that drink will be well deserved. I'm hoping bed time for E comes fast for you! Today's not necessarily a BAD Monday but it's a Monday which means I'm trying to dig us out from under a pile of laundry and messes that accumulated over the weekend.
I also miss DH terribly on Mondays after being spoiled to have a few days with him. Mondays are always just a bit of a bummer around these parts!
-
@littlek: hugs to you too. I'm so sorry. I'm still cheering you on through your TTC journey
-
@littlek: oh my gosh!!! What a weekend. I'm so sorry!!
@lovehoneybee: sending you hugs
-
@HLK208: your turn
-
I'm home sick. Tried to nap, but still coughing. Doing some laundry and chores anyway. Nice thing this morning was that DH was up to take LO into daycare for me, but I wanted to use the car for a Walgreens trip. So, DH and I dropped off LO and he took me to Walgreens for cough drops, tootsie rolls, and Dove dark chocolate.
-
Just feeling overwhelmed in general. My future is up in the air and I really hoped to know a few things by now. I'm basically twiddling my thumbs thinking of every possible outcome driving myself nuts.
-
@lovehoneybee: Everything about the car buying process whether new or pre-owned is a bit stressful to me. Hope you get it resolved soon. Congratulations on your new job! Everything will fall into place once you settle into your routine. BTW, You look great mama!
-
I'm having a shit monday and don't even feel like talking about the details. I hope everyone cheers up!
@cascademom: I wish I had tootsie rolls. Those are my favorite.
-
@MrsMcD: I'm sorry.
-
Okay, here's mine. Mostly, just MIL drama this weekend, DH and I need to get projects done around the house but I've been solo parenting and everything seems to be taking 100 times longer than it needs to.
Also, DS ran away from me at preschool today. I felt like I had to freaking chase him with my pregnant belly and carrying DD on my hip - of course in front of a dozen judgmental moms. I just took it really personal. Like his behavior was a reflection of something I've done. Whenever he acts out, it feels like he's the ONLY child who misbehaves.
-
@littlek: the last item.... Omg.
Nothing earth shattering here. Just kind of blah. T is being a basket case the past few days - picky eating, defiance, whining and clinging. 2 yr molars? I haven't slept well the last 2 nights. My husband is on call every day this week and I just feel tired.
-
@HLK208: the image of your little man running away kind of made me chuckle. Sorry to chuckle at your expense
-
@lovehoneybee: is E sick? Hope tomorrow is better!
-
Three words: headcold, morningsickness and work.
-
I barely slept. DH kept me up snoring
I had a gum graft last week and I can barely eat.
I had an allergic reaction to either downy or the meds and I have an itchy rash all over
DS only napped 30 mins
My dog is having some issues with her hips and is struggling to move -
Ugh I just looked in the mirror in the bathroom and noticed I'm no longer wearing the necklace I wear everyday. It wasn't super expensive (like $100) but my husband gave it to me when we first started dating. I never take it off and know I had it on this morning... no clue where it is now.
Double ugh. I helped a client fill out a form and managed to spell her last name wrong. It's a big dollar client and of course they won't let me change the spelling without her calling in.
-
@littlek: @Smurfette: @HLK208: @coopsmama: @Mrs. Pen: Thanks gals. Some days it just feels overwhelming...
@winniebee: I don't think so, but his gums have started looking a little bit swollen, in the tiny glimpses he allows me. I wouldn't be at all surprised if his two year molars were starting to come, but I can't confirm yet.
-
I hate my f-ing job today. The level of frustration I have with my students, with other students, with the expectations I have for myself as an educator, the expectations that others have for me, all of that- I just can't do this. I hate the disrespect shown to me, to other students and to parents by these students. I hate how LOW some of these kids are, and how incompetent I feel when it seems like I'm not making a difference, no matter what I do.
Also, I have a stomach ache,a nd I don't know why.
-
@littlek: I'm sorry
it's so hard when it feels like everyone but you is getting KU. And I would be so furious if D went on a bender like that! And ohhh, a tattoo? @HLK208: Your MIL sounds like a treat!
-
Crap crap, R napped an hour today. So then decided, no matter what Mommy did, she needed to nap on the way home. So she is never going to bed on time. At least she is eating dinner.......
-
urgh yes!.. we go back to our mfm tomorrow to check on my cervix and if it has gotten smaller they will likely admit me and administer a round of steroids a round of steroids in case lo tries to come within the next 2 weeks.. so right now I can't even think forward of tomorrow afternoon bc of the potential of all this happening. so frustrating and scary..
also been feeling so much pressure from MIL lately and I just can't imagine her relaxing once lo comes.. it's like this baby is all she has to look forward to and all I want to tell her is to back off and that it's my and dh's baby.. she had her 2 kids, this isn't HER baby.. argh! MILs can really drive you INSANE!!
just 1 more tiny rant - I just wish I could be a cute pregnant woman and be out and about preparing rather than stuck in bed.. I'd obviously stand on my head for the next 16 weeks if it meant lo would be ok, but gosh, just want to be normal for a second.. ok done.
-
Some genius scheduled everyone except two of us to be on the road this week leaving a sh*t ton of work normally done by 5 people to be done by 1 1/2. Effff.
-
@littleredhairedgrl: oh MIL's. That reminds me of my MIL and how she acted when I was pregnant with DS (and afterwards)...like he was her own kid. It still drives me crazy! If you ever need a listening ear about her drama once Ava arrives (hopefully later rather than sooner!!), I'm here for ya
we can swap stories
-
@littleredhairedgrl: I'm so sorry. I hope you have a good appt tomorrow. Thinking about you!!!
-
Rough day here! Massive headache, dh had to take some 3hour test online and we had to be quiet, we didn't get any sleep... I cried a little...
But someone gifted me gold and I am so so happy! Really made my day!
-
I am currently unemployed, so spent another afternoon job hunting. Bleh, it's getting tiresome. I am ready to get back to work! I am also using my spare time to lurk on baby boards (July 2014 specifically - not the best feeling reading about what I would be experiencing, buying, doing, etc if it weren't for my MC in December). Instead, I usually end up looking for MC support threads.
On the plus side, I did join hellobee today, so yay me!
-
I was alone at the mall today and needed to number two really badly (sorry if TMI) so out of sheer desperation I decided to use a public restroom - not the cleanest! A lady was in the nearby stall and just would not get out so I eventually had to set myself free and she heard everything. No room for pride in pregnancy.
-
It's tuesday here but whatever
MIL was supposed to look after LO today since we have an appt. She isn't feeling well so let me know she couldn't after I had woken LO from her first nap so MIL wouldn't have to put her down. Now I have a tired and cranky baby who will need her nap when we are at our appt. Why couldn't she of let me know earlier??
*hugs* to everyone in this post!
-
Work SUCKS. We are going to find out this week if we are increasing by 60 employees (I think it's a pretty done deal) and my dept is HR and we are already short staffed but I don't have a lot of faith that we will get a new FTE. I might cry. Ugh.
We got a letter from the state that we owe a debt but it doesn't say WHAT the amount is or WHO it is owed to....?! We are actually hoping it's a scam bc we can't think of anything at all!!!
-
@meganmp: I'm so sorry you're feeling that way about your job. I'm a teacher, too, and am frustrated with other people's and my own expectations about myself as an educator. I have my formal observation tomorrow and get soooooooo nervous ahead of time and during the observation. I'm procrastinating writing up my plan by being on HB! Hope things start getting better for you!
-
Sorry you all had crummy mondays!
I locked my keys in the car with the car running. At least M was NOT in the car - I can't even imagine. She did manage to have a giant messy poop while we were waiting for the AAA guy to get there. Of course I had no wipes, no diapers, no nothing - everything was in the car. Little miss had to hang out in her poop diaper because mama did something dumb
Sounds like that drink will be well deserved. I'm hoping bed time for E comes fast for you!
