Re: Win and Whine Wednesday

  • Whine-Ava Nichol woke up 5:45.

    Win-I convinced her to go back to sleep and she slept until 8:15. Much better.

    Whine-I think I am getting a migraine but have had the aura for over 24 hours so I have no idea.

    Whine-I have homework tonight. Ugh.

    Win I am starting week 4 of 5 of my classes this term. Yay for almost being done with these classes!

  • Whine - I had minor leg cramping overnight last night in both legs, and I'm sore this morning.

    Whine - I wish my body would make up it's mind with these false labor/pre labor signs!

    Whine/win - I don't want to do the rest of the items on my to-do list, but at least I have the time at home now to do it because...

    Win - I am on maternity leave!

    Win - Little girl decided to make up for my L&D scare last night by being a wiggleworm today.

    Win - I haven't posted my HDBD pic yet because I am still in my jammies!!

  • Whine: I've been waking up between 3 and 4 AM the past few nights and can't get back to sleep for over an hour.

    Win: I feel LO moving all the time and I can't get over how cool it feels. DH has been able to feel it a few times too. 

    Whine: The owners of the house we're renting put it on the market this week (they're upset we're trying to buy another house), so we have to keep it "showing ready" at all times.  They're supposed to give us 24 hours notice, but it's not always convenient for us, especially since we have a dog and cats.  If it were my house I wouldn't mind, but I'm still paying to live/living here. 

    Win: DH packed a pickle with my lunch today

    Whine: DH and I were planning on getting ice cream last night, but DSS had a major attitude problem so it was either get it for ourselves and deal with the repercussions or wait til tonight when he's with his mom.

    Win: That means I get ice cream tonight!

  • Whine: I'm trying to work, but the system I'm using to buy stuff is really slow.

    Whine: I really want pizza and corn on the cob.

    Win: I think I will just buy pizza for dinner and just watch DH teach his boxing class.

    Whine: I'm tired. It was a very emotional afternoon yesterday.

    Win: I had brownie ice cream to make me feel better.

    Win: I finally cleaned *most of* the house. I still have to wipe down the counters, but at least the laundry and dishes are done!

  • Win: I brought some delicious lobster bisque to work for lunch today. OMG it was amazing!

    Whine: There wasn't nearly enough of it. I could have eaten another bowl's worth easily!

    Whine: DH is working tonight, so I have to get home from work, feed the hungry 4-legged horde, and then figure out what I'm going to have for dinner. Cold rotisserie chicken over salad is currently winning.

    Win: No DH for the evening means catching up on whatever I want to watch on TV.

  • Win: We got a new car!! We had been talking about getting one before we had the baby (DH had a 2 door Accord). He surprised me the other night and came home with a 2013 Ford Edge. :D

    Whine: While I LOVE the car, I didn't like that he made a big decision without me. He didn't have to put money down and our payments are the same, but still. Maybe I'm being a b*tch.

    Win: The girls in the office I work in went to Starbucks and got me a piece of the lemon pound cake. I've been craving it for weeks and can't wait to eat it.

    Whine: I went to lunch with my brother (he works down the street from me) and I'm too full to eat my yummy treat.

    IMO you're not being a bitch. I would be so pissed if DH made a purchase that big and that affected both of us without consulting me first, but I get not all couples operate like we do. Heck he tells me before he wants to spend pretty much anything over $50 and pretty much tells me anytime he spends any money, but I know that's probably extreme.

  • Whine:  My feet are so swollen and it was hard to take my shoes off last night and hard to get a different pair on this morning.

    Win:  My baby shower is a week and a half from now!

    Whine:  Work is so exhausting.

    Win: I allowed myself some Dr Pepper today (and also ate Kit-Kats) and it was awesome!

    Yikes. Yeah, I actually told DH that if he ever made a big ticket purchase without me I'd be really upset. His dad bought his mom a car, and that works for them. But I was afraid he'd think I'd be ok with that too... newp. We consult each other before spending any money really, because we're pretty rigorous with the budget. I don't think it's extreme to communicate a lot about money. But I do know not every couple thinks that way :)

  • @ljraff29 That is a big decision. I would talk to him about how in the future you would like to be consulted. Even if the result is the same it is still nice to be a part of the discussion.

    Glad you are happy with his decision though!

  • Glad to know I'm not alone in my thinking.  I know his intentions were good, but I would've rather at least test drove it and before going all in. His parents have a very different relationship and are more old fashioned than my parents were, so I don't think he did it purposely.  Of course I brought it up (I just couldn't let it go) and he wasn't surprised I did. We are open about money and spending, so he saw it coming. Hopefully he'll remember next time. Thanks for the back up!
