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.
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.
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)...
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).
Ugh, sh!tty is right, I'm sorry
**virtual hugs**
