B!tches & Brags - post here!
My b!tch of the day and hopefully the week...My co-irker is an info hog and a person set in his old ways! I asked him for work to do this am and heseemed to say this with an attitude "yeah, you have to do this project." I then called him out, sort of, by saying "you need to share that info and not keep it in your office." OMG! What a dork! Hopefully this project will keep me busy for the rest of the week until my boss gets back in town.
My brag - Natalie rode her first minitrain ride at Descanso Gardens yesterday. Descanso requires the kids to be 18 months or older. While she's already been on lots of other train rides, big and not so big. This was her first time on a 1/8th replica. Here's a similar pic (not of us) of the train...

My turn....
?B!tch#1: ?So as you may remember (or not) its the first day of Celeste in daycare. MIL & Dh keep telling me its only for the 2 weeks that FIL is out of country (on vacay @ PI) & I seriously think she should just stay in even when he gets back because I really hate having to find someone to watch her each time Inlaws go on their trips. Its bad enough I can;t stop crying but just let it be cuz its so darn hard to get adjusted again....does that even make sense. Its not about the money thing....
#2: Celeste's first bday party will be on the day of her cousin's birthday who is going to be 6. So Dh goes and tells me that maybe we should invite them to share the party in front of my Mother & sister! I was like "No way! I don't want to share my daughter's FIRST birthday celebration." Of course my mom & sis stay quiet cuz they know how I can get. Never mind the bad history with that family-ugh long story but I can share if you really want to know. Why can't Dh see it from my point of view!!! I am not even going to offer and thats that. *stomping foot on the ground*
Brag#1: I managed to get both kids in their daycares who are like across town from each other without going in sane (had Starbucks to help me) & have not used up the whole box of tissue from crying. They are growing up.
Brag#2: Rj completed his first 100 piece puzzle last night in 2 hours. Yeay! Not bad eh for an almost 4 year old.
Brag#3: Celeste is walking free hand! And so happy about it.
Thanks Mia for starting this... *Mae?
?
oooh..how fun!
B!tches: Stupid Disneyland got rid of my favorite restaurant/ menu. Now I will have to eat before I go because I refuse to eat their food. Freakin' disneyland sucks!
Brags: The kids are on a great sleep schedule and it's really making my life so much easier! Sal and I actually have time to hang out with one another. And on a side note: I made a new friend a few weeks ago and she appears to be somewhat normal! I love that....making new friends is a good thing:)
B!tch - DH is being sent out of town tomorrow for the rest of the week and he just got told today. meaning once again I have to leave work early (I have complained about my work and this leaving early before.)
Brag - My girls are awesome. I can't pick just one thing, they are just great.
ooh! my turn
B!tch: No way, Disneyland CAN'T get rid of New Orleans cafe! Are we supposed to eat something other than chowder in a bread bowl? Seriously?
Ok, now for my real b!tch: Why are my husband's "needs" so needy?? I don't have time to wash my hair everyday, my mom has to come by and play with the baby so I can vacuum, and my boobs officially point DOWN now... and he's horny? shut up already.
Brag: Blair learned to bring a toy to her mouth! And she's beyond sleeping through the night, that kid likes to sleep in
In addition to renovating, they are raising their prices and completely revamping the menu! Ugh....I loved their chicken meal:( ......
***- I have to drive to the valley for class tonight and I won't be home until 11pm (which means my day goes from 8am-11pm). Oh! I have 4 good friend/family bdays this week!
Brag- My stomach bug went away. I have presents for all the people listed above and I am still sticking to my diet
B!itches: I'm pregnant and scared that I could be unemployed soon. My employer's name is all over the news today and my phone is ringing off the hook. Yet, the only answer management can give us is "to hold tight". DH is now flipping out, my photography biz will have to go on hiatus (or I'll have to make do with the equipment I have), an we probably won't be moving out of our craptastic apartment now.
Brag: At least I have something to look forward to this week. Our first ultrasound is Wednesday.
B!tch: We've past the 3 month window that the Drs thought we could get pregnant in. (It's now month 9). We are excited about adopting, but it's all a lot to take in.
Brag: The event planning biz is taking off faster than I can run with it, and I've got a big event to coordinate this weekend!
B!tch- Hmmm I don't think I have anything to *** about. LOL Well that is a first!
Brag-I just had an awesome birthday weekend and I love love love my husband to pieces.
B!tches: ?Well I had a huge b!itch, that DH really doesn't realize that my Nclex is 1 week from tomorrow and keeps scheduling overtime (well we need that, but...) and fun stuff to do with his buddies leaving me no free time to study. Pray, pray, pray for me. Please
Brags: ?1) DH finally realized my NCLEX is 1 week from tomorrow and is not scheduling any Overtime and canceling his buddy fun days (except for sat night the guys from the station are going to the dodgers and already have their tix) ?so he can take care of Jacob on his days off! ?
2) Jacob officially starts preschool tomorrow, so I will have 2 days (3hrs ea) with quite study time. ?YAY! ?I hope he does well and won't cry. ?I think I will be OK!?
***: Idiots on Craiglist! I listed some stuff this last weekend and have lots of bitches about the types of responses I got. First of all, I know that I live out in the boonies. I listed where I live in the title of the thread. My ad clearly said "pick up only". No, I won't deliver. No, I won't lower the price since you'd have to drive all the way to pick it up. No, I won't hold it until you get paid next weekend. How the hell do I know if it'll fit in your car?
Another CL ***. I sold a SuperYard and the people that bought it informed me as they were loading it into thier car that they were planning to use it to create a welping spot for thier 2 pregnant dogs. Great, I made $40 to benefit the breeding of designer mutts. I felt so guilty about it that I ended up donating the $40 to a local dog rescue. Dh thinks I'm crazy, but I just couldn't keep the money as it would go against everything I believe in.
Brag: Rhian's speech is improving so much. I can now understand her about 90% of the time versus just a couple of months ago when we could make out 50%.
