Re: Say Anything part 27
[insert puking smiley here] i can't ever get them to work and i dont remember the code
You should have said "Parties? What parties?" lol.
I never really post in this thread, but needed a place to get this out!
I am so, so very sick of reading posts on the bump about moms who are sick to their stomach, dreading, crying, for days over going back to work and their MOM is watching their LO. I swear the last 20 posts I clicked on about going back to work was some whiny person complaining about having to go back, and be away from LO, but their mom is watching them! Or, they work in the same building as the day care. Or DH is watching them and they are only working part time. I have not seen one post in the past few weeks from a mom who is sad about going back to work and leaving DD with strangers! I know leaving LO is hard no matter what. I probably sound totally bitter and jealous that I have to leave DD in a daycare, and these posters get to have a family member was their LO. Well guess, what I am. Blegh.
I'm so frustrated with my family right now. They think that every time something is going on, we should be there. Apparently something was said because we decided to stay in Houston for Easter and Mother's Day this year. I'm so tired of this and I spent most of my morning in tears because instead of asking me directly why we didn't come or stopping to listen to what I've got going on, they just talk behind my back.
Nevermind the fact that they never come see us. Nevermind that anytime we're around, they are so far up my cousins' babies a$$es that they don't even give Cooper the time of day. Nevermind that the weekends are the ONLY time I get to do anything around my house because I have an hour commute every flipping day. Nevermind that I've had to travel for work more this spring than I did all of last year with my old job.
I just never thought it would be this way. And the icing on the cake is that it came from my cousin who has missed more crap that I could even count. Yet suddenly he's on my case about not being around? Yeah, that's a really great way to make me want to rearrange my calendar so I can pack my bags up and go see them.
Hugs! None of what they are doing/saying is fair.
Crazy Christmas Kids!
ditto Cindy.
That sucks Kreeper.
I considered calling in sick after lunch & going home b/c a guy at the gym almost made me cry. Next week will be 2 years since I injured my back. I have now reached my projected "maximum improvement" which means I will probably always be in some pain. So I'm at the gym during lunch, doing the best work out that I can do with my back restrictions, and feeling super-lame b/c I'm surrounded by people doing serious work-outs. And some deuche bag decides to point out to me that I'm not working out very hard. Thanks asswipe, I know, but thanksamillion for pointing it out.
Normally comments like that just roll off my back, I get them every once in a while b/c a lot of co-workers go to my gym. But this guy was a complete stranger & my back was being particularly difficult. And he just made me want to cry & go crawl into bed for the rest of my life.
Whew....
I just got an email back from the person I had out last week to take measurements and give us an estimate for flooring installation. I was pretty sure it was a "she", but I wasn't sure until I got the email with her full name. I'm just glad I didn't stick my foot in my mouth when I said "Yes, ma'am?" at one point!
And I would have let him know what a douche he was and made him feel like *** for saying anything and then I would have told him to suck it when it was apology time.
Kreeper... I'm sorry you are having those problems with your family. I went through similar stuff when I first got married and had the instant family. Not always possible to cart everyone around to the other side of town for little parties, and yes, I understand that I'm missed... but dude. We had formed our ownlittle family, and deserve to be loved the same even if we can't make it to every little party the family throws.
Halfpint... I am also sorry that some thoughtless condescending jerk decided he knew enough to insult you. That was totally rude and hurtful : (
I woke up Sunday morning and said to DH, "I wonder if I'll ever wake up and not be in pain somewhere in my body?" I know I do not have nearly the severity of pain/injury that you do, but I do understand how it can be to deal with that kind of thing. I went with some of DD's friends/families to the beach recently, and and the act of walking on the sand while trying to drag a heavy cooler was too much for my back, and I knew if I pushed it I'd aggravate it. It was hard to ask for help, but luckily one of the dads was like "You shouldn't be pulling that! Gimme that cooler, silly!'
It's hard for people to understand that you can be very functional on one level, but that you have a weak link that's pretty fragile. POWER TO YOU, WOMAN!

That was what my ex-BIL told my sister. She later found out he cheated on her too.
this guy just got a job managing a pub. I'm willing to bet that infidelity is in the cards too. he has all these fb comments from girls lately and he's cheesy flirting with them. I just feel terrible for his son and wife.
I totally understand and it sucks. Some days are just like that. I hope today will be better for you.
I am now happy to report that my sister has remarried to a wonderful guy, who absolutely adores her children!
AprilPrincess: that's seriously crappy.
Why do they do that crap? I get the same Sh!t too, except I don't have kids. My brother goes through my MOTHER instead of coming directly to me. We had an agreement on the repayment of the funeral expenses. Granted NO one asked me when the time came to handle that what I wanted or COULD do. Yet the minute that I do something that involved $$ that I had planned in my BUDGET, you start calling my mom to find out when I am going to start to repay you?
orrrr... this is a doozy.
I find out from my mom when my third nephews First Communion is going to be. TWO days before. And when I tell my mom, and it gets back to my sister in law, that I wont be attending because I will be out of town on paid airline tickets, and didn't know before then, she gets all huffy. Umm he is YOUR child not my mothers.. YOU are responsible for letting me know in enough time. I have a life you know....
I am sorry D.. it sucks that people do that.
You Can Do It!!!! Just try to focus on how awesome it will be when you have learned to swim and aren't afraid of the water anymore!
Go Lexie Go!
I'm about to leave to take K to get her hair cut to fix the damage she did last night.
Bye bye long hair.
Between that and her Facebook posts she is quite tech-savvy!
Oh my! He is in our prayers.
Ditto
Shameless AW:
DH and I left the boys with my mom to run out and pick up lunch today. At 5 days post baby I was totally wearing pre-pregnancy, normal with a functional button and zipper, not a stitch of elastic, not hiked up to my boobs capri pants.
Sure, it wasn't pretty under there, but it sure was nice to have regular clothes on again!
I'd just like it on record that it's 3:00 on Tuesday and that 3-Tiered, $30 Cake that was supposed to be delivered by 5 on Monday is still MIA.
