I need to vent.

I am having such a shitty day and week.

I haven't had hot water since last Sunday. Luke warm showers are getting really old. (they are coming to look at the furnace tomorrow)

Last night I started making supper as well as cupcakes (because you have to multitask as a mother) and I was waiting for my water to boil and realized that the stove wasn't working. I blew a fuse.

Then today I was at my father's and in the dipe bag I found a little "gift" from MIL. Notecards, stamps and four addresses for people that I do not know, have never met. They gave her gifts to give to me. I know proper etiquette is to send a card...but I never thought of it. I don't know these people. They are her friends. And her little passive aggresive way of telling me to send them a thank you is to put it in the bag and not say anything (I saw her twice yesterday)

THEN. I come home and the fvucking roof is leaking all over the floor.

And the baby is crying.

Oh. And to top is all off...AF arrived today. I really thought that I would make it 6 or 9 months before she showed her face.

 

Re: I need to vent.

  • I can't make it better but here's a hug.  I'm sorry.

  • Ouch, that is a sucky time. The passive aggressive is soooo annoying. The leaking roof, uh.

    The rod, uh. I was right there with you. Mine came so early, I was so disappointed.

  • And you know what?? I do need a hug. I haven't seen any of you in so so so so long. Even the girls that I normally see often. I miss my friends!
  • I'm sorry it's been a rough week; I hope this one is better!  We missed you at book club, you should think about coming in February, everyone would love to see you.

  • So sorry to hear.  And on top of it, you likely have had a good night of sleep in months...which that doesn't help anything.  At least baby snuggles are comforting.

  • That is truly truly truly sucktastic, and I wish I could come give you a hug right now.  Getting your period with a 2-month old just adds insult to injury!  I only made it to 4 months after Owen and I thought that was bad enough, but 2 months is just plain mean of the universe.

    I saw on FB that your Dad fixed the fuse; I hope the roof problems have stopped too.

  • Wow that does sound sucky :(  sorry you are dealing with all that.

    About AF though I got one at about 3 months PP with Liam and was SUPER pissed lol but I haven't gotten another since! So maybe yours will go away again too.

    BIG ((hugs))

  • Ugh, it sucks badly enough that your MIL is a PITA, but to have all this happen in the same week? That's just too much for anyone, let alone a woman with a little guy to care for despite the obstacles.

    Here's a cyber hug. I miss you tons, but forgive Abe for taking his momma away from us-- he's worth it and so darn cute so I can't be mad at him. 

    If it helps, I notice that your furnace will be fixed by Wednesday so you can look pretty and clean for your Wednesday night treat/leave early from work BF support group! Yay! 

    Next time I'm up at Togus, I'll call and see if you're around (I didn't last Friday because it had snowed 4 inches in the 90 minutes we were in the building)...

  • Hm, yeah, that all blows.  All of it.  XOXOXO

  • I'm sorry. I think a glass of wine may be necessary. (FWIW, I got AF at 11 weeks pp and haven't seen her since).

  • I'm sorry.  You are having a stinky week!  I hope it ends soon and the next week is 10 times better to make up for it!
  • Ugh, sh!tty is right, I'm sorry :( 

    **virtual hugs** 

  • Wow, your week has been dumper-iffic. I agree w/ PPs that wine, chocolate and hugs are all in order. Hang in there!
