Re: Monday Moans
Can I just say my life is my moan? Really things are not going so well. lol
At the jack and jill we went to we won a gift of all baby girl linens. I told them I didn't want it, but they gave it to us anyways. I broke down crying and ran out. I want another one but I'd run the risk of not living. So it was kind of really bad timing and a slap in my face. The older couple sitting next to us was kind enough to trade some bath oils for the baby girl basket.
Work- it's just awful, I can't wait to leave.
I had signed up to get my Wound Care certification. But DH guilt tripped me out of it. Now it would have only been 4 days. But he couldn't handle that idea. So he told me he planned on going to the smokey mountains and that if i took the class we couldn't go. So I backed out. Then he said we weren't going to go that it costs too much money.
UGH!!! I want to run away right now.
I didnt sleep at all last night so i feel like crapola.
And also i cant seem to keep my house clean ever and its really stressing me out

I'm sorry Deb!! And that's really crappy of your DH. If you want to get your certification, you should!
My moan is that now that we're going to be in our own place, I'm starting to stress about money. Mainly because in the next week or so we'll be spending a lot (going away this weekend, deposit/payment for the apartment and then of course having to buy some things for the new place). For some reason I'm feeling nervous that we won't be able to afford living on our own, but we did it before when our rent was almost $100 more and with my promotion I also got a raise and DH is making a bit more than he was before as well.
Let's just hope that DH is able to secure a full-time teaching job for next school year. That would solve our current money worries!
Fingers crossed/prayers for us please ladies!!
My moan is that I have gotten the same email from my school 30 times today about commencement. It's like there list server went CRAZY.
Oh and when I say today, I mean in the last 10 minutes. Every 20 seconds or so..*ping,* you've got mail! So annoying!
my read shelf:
My monday moan is my co-worker. A few weeks ago I bought some maternity clothes. I'm not wearing them yet but figured it'd be fun to get some stuff for summer. So I'm telling a friend at work what I bought and this co-worker chimes in "ALREADY??!!" and then proceeds to tell me that she only gained 25 lbs. and lost 50 after her pregnancy, and that she hardly showed or needed maternity clothes at all.
Then today I was eating some fruit and telling her I was watching what I was eating and that I had gained 4 lbs. She again proclaims "ALREADY?!!!!" and then makes some comment about how my cheeks have filled out or something. She again reiterates that she only gained 24 lbs. and lost 50 after her pregnancy. I was ready to slap her.
And from what I've heard, gaining 5 lbs. in the first tri is perfectly normal, so she can kiss my fat pregnant A$$!
Ugh it just makes me so self conscious when she acts like I'm putting on way too much weight for this soon and how she only gained 25 lbs. Thank God my last day is Friday and then I'll only have to work there every once in a while cause I start my new job.
My moan is that I am literally sick and tired. DH and I flew up to New Hampshire for my SIL's college graduation. We spent 14 hours traveling home. I got some cold/fever combo over the weekend, but I'm teaching a summer intensive class for 3 hours a day and I can't take a day off. Ugh.
ps. Deb, I am really sorry to hear that things aren't going well right now. I hope that they turn around quickly and that you do get to take your certification course soon!
Deb, many hugs.
I'm sorry she's being such an a$$. Some people have no tact when it comes to talking to pregnant women. And 5lbs is normal, everyone's body and each pregnancy is different and she is apparently looking for some reward for having lost 25lbs of her pre-pregnancy weight. And lucky you for not being in maternity clothes at 12 weeks! Some of other body types are not so forgiving!!
