Re: WTF Wednesday
Fine, fine, I'll start.
W(hy)TF is PowerPoint such a lifesucker? I hate it so much, but must use it for new employee orientation.
Along those lines, WTF is the point of sending an error report to Microsoft when something goes wrong? Don't you kind of feel like you're not actually sending anything, or that some computer nerd somewhere is laughing at you for sending the report shortly before deleting it? "Haha, it's that chick from Iowa trying to use PowerPoint again with hardly any memory in her computer. What a dumbass." If I was the computer nerd (I use that term lovingly) receiving the reports, I would personally laugh at every single one that came by. (I'm well aware that it's not actually a human that receives and reviews the singular error report.)
Melissa- the error report thing annoys the F out of me. I swear it's like Big brother is watching you...
And I am very glad you posted this this AM. because OMG do I have some WTFs
WTF is up with MH snoring? I swear if I could burn him with my eyes he would have had a 3rd degree burn on his face last night.
W(hy)TF does MH think it's still OK to sleep in until 8 when he is going back to work? Yes I get it, you should be awake for work and your work is flexible on getting there between 9-10, but considering the baby only woke up at 2:45 for me (after being put down at 11:30 by MH) and again at 6:30...he could have woke up then, went to work early, and then just came home early...but no, now he won't be home til like 7 probably. And he decided he wanted to go back to bed.
W(hy) TF do I feel like I am doing everything around the house? It's true...a mothers work is never done.
W(hy)TF does Ava pee on Justin when he changes her- but rarely does it for me? Ha ha ha...now she'll do it to me probably 18 times today
WTF is up with my almost lack of bladder control? Seriously, I feel like a 95 yr old woman.
Why TF are some people all talk? Don't tell me you are going to come over and help me and do stuff if you're not going to.
And just a vent, but man I need adult interaction that is NOT my mother, sister, or mother in law.
And another vent. I am scared to go to my therapist(s) appts tomorrow because I may decide to go on some sort of medication; and I really don't want to be on one that makes me gain weight or that I can't have an occasional beer or glass of wine with.
And I wish I could fast forward 3 more weeks so I can get the OK to start working out. But in the interim I am walking 1-3 miles most days of the week.
W(hy)TF did I wake up before 5am for the second day in a row? Ugh. I'm gonna be exhausted all day now.
WTF laptop. I like Google Chrome, but you crashed after a month of having it. I wish I could run something other than Vista on you so I can go back to Chrome again. Boo hiss.
Huge WTF to H's side of the family. I'm so, so fed up with all the crap going on, and no one has the balls to talk to me about anything. They just talk about me. I wish people would grow up.
So....I was just at the grocery store, and I had to pee (of course). Grocery store bathrooms are gross, but whatever, I had to pee and there is no holding it at 39.5 weeks. So in I go....well....I sit on the bowl....and I notice that the toilet bowl
water is so hot that it's steaming my crotch and butt....literally STEAMING. After I flushed I briefly contemplated putting my finger in the water to feel exactly how hot it was, but then I remembered that I was in a gross grocery store bathroom.
You do have a lot of WTFs!!! I would like to address some of them:
Re: J's snoring- I plug Clint's nose. I do. He either breathes through his mouth or maneuvers until he is no longer snoring. He rarely wakes up, but when he does, I yell at him for snoring.
Re: the work thing- I feel like Clint doesn't get it either. Especially on days when I'm home with May by myself- you work longer hours, we hardly see you, and that is bad both for me and the baby. I go nuts without adult interaction. It was really bad on maternity leave because it was during harvest, where they work from 6 a.m. until sundown, and I was by myself with a newborn who would be fussy from 5 p.m.-8 p.m. He still doesn't get that when he CHOOSES to work on days I have off, I feel like he is abandoning us. I don't feel like I am able to work late or go in early because I am the one taking May to the sitter, so it makes me jealous that he works whenever he wants to.
Re: Ava peeing on J...hilarious. May pretty much doesn't do that anymore but she used to all the time!
Re: bladder control..it will return. Do your kegels- it will speed up the process. It took awhile, and I still have some issues in the middle of the night if I REALLY have to go (for some reason I always have to pee when I'm nursing...so weird) where I have to hold it as hard as I can. Not pleasant.
If you use G-talk, I'm on all day at work. Feel free to IM me any time!
Ha! This reminded me of the time my friend dropped her cell phone in a bar bathroom toilet bowl at 3AM. She immediately stuck her hand in and grabbed it and then screamed that she stuck her hand in the toilet bowl. I couldn't stop laughing.
Sending hugs your way.
Justin gets sprayed so much because he probably doesn't change nearly as fast as you do. I know my DH doesn't do it as quick.
Your peeing issues will get better-I promise. It just takes a couple of weeks.
I think you should try and get out for a mani/pedi by yourself today or tomorrow.
Jax, I feel ya on just about all of them. Joe was the same way when I was headed back to work...and a lot of the time now [even though we're in two separate cities until this deployment stuff gets worked out], he still complains about how hard he works and what he's been doing. I don't want to hear that when I've got our absolutely adorable but amazingly overactive 2.5 year old waiting on me at daycare.
And yes - the peeing issues do get better. It takes a little bit, but they'll get better.
I hope you get some adult interaction soon! You deserve a break mama. *hugs*
ditto the snoring and the adult interaction! and ryan would get home from work and want to "do stuff" around the house. nope, here's your daughter. you take care of her for a while, lol.
my WTF was about DH, too, but i can't remember what it was... OH!
WhyTF is DH complaining about his back hurting from holding carly. wish i could make a pie chart to show how much i hold her compared to him. grrrr.
