Re: FFFC
I have had an awful, awful week at work. I just feel so incredibly defeated...there is so much I still don't know, and so much that I don't know that I don't know. And by the time I get home with my manuals to study I'm just tired or I want to do other things.
Not to mention the training I received here was fairly non-existent.
I know it will take time, but dangit I'm tired of being clueless. And then distracting myself on the Internets
to cheer myself up.
I am right there with you. We're integrating a new data system here at work, so all of our old processes are going away and everything will be done with this new system. It doesn't a/effect me much because I don't do much in that program, but it's still frustration because managment acts like it is God's gift to the company but when we go to use it there are still glitches and errors that just set the negativity around this place on high.
It's been a very rough work week.
Not to mention an event we're trying to pull out of our buts for the first of Nov.
I'm starting to freak out about birth.
Last night, I had to fight off a small panic attack after realizing that whether or not she comes naturally, Tessa will be here in about 2.5 weeks. If I don't go into labor on my own, my Dr is going to induce me at 39 weeks because of her size. I'm hoping to go into labor on my own, and either way, I'm starting to panic and I don't know why. Women were made to do this. I've given birth before--I can do this...yet...I'm still scared.
I'm afraid my mom won't be able to get to my house fast enough to help with Taryn. I'm afraid of scaring Taryn when a strong contraction hits. While I hope labor is quicker this time, I'm afraid it'll take DH too long to get home from work and I won't get to the hospital on time. I'm afraid something will go wrong during labor and delivery. I'm afraid Tessa will be too small and have to go to the NICU even though everything thus far indicates she's healthy, just small. I'm afraid of not getting everything done that we need done around the house. I'm afraid of falling too far behind on school work.
Ahhhhhh....deep breaths. Deep breaths.
Threads that start, "Am I the only one that...?" annoy the ever loving shiit out of me.
Why, yes, yes you are the only person in the entire world to ever think that or have different taste. Here's your medal.
I see this all the time on the baby boards:
"Am I the only one tired?" Yep, every other pregnant woman has so much energy that they don't know what to do with it.
"Am I the only one with heartburn?" Absolutely, you are the only one with one of the most common pregnancy symptoms.
"Am I the only one who is hormonal?" Of course you are, you crazy lady!
This is along the lines of my husband saying, "it is bad....(insert some sort of pain, sickness, etc)."
No honey, it's not bad at all that your right ankle is twice the size of your left after a rough softball game. It's also not bad that your knees crack and pop with every other step.
I don't know why but it drives me nuts when he says that. You know it's not normal or good, so why ask if it's bad??
Well that's even dumber than the examples I was thinking of lol. It's always subjective things like,
"Am I the only one who doesn't 'get' the Missoni stuff at Target?"
"Am I the only one who doesn't like white kitchens?"
"Am I the only one who wouldn't spend that much on a purse?" etc. etc. etc.
It's always right after a group of people are talking about one of the above subjects. No you're not the first person in the world to have a different opinion. I guess they just want people to rally around them and say 'me too' so that they don't feel alone? I don't now. Have a little more confidence if you like something different.
Geez, am I the only one that thinks this is a little harsh?
J/k. Its funny because I know I'm guilty of it. I just never thought of it that way.
It mainly bothers me when it's meant as an insult. It happens all the time on D&R. Someone will do something or post about wanting to buy something and a group of people will agree. One poster will pull the "AM I the only one who would never buy blargh blargh blargh". Way to insult a group of people who just said they enjoyed that item, @sshole.

I have to lay down with Jack in his bed while he falls asleep (usually about 10 mins).
If he wakes up in the middle of the night, he gets out of bed, and comes into my bed, where he sleeps the rest of the night.
Both of these things are bad, bad, bad, particularly with Carter making an appearance soon.
BUT! I really love the snuggle time with him. I know my time with "just him" is limited, so while I really need to break these habits, I am taking my sweet time. It is so sweet feeling his little arms around my neck, seeing the smile on his face, and hearing him whisper "Luh You Mama" as he goes to sleep.
Shame on me for perpetuating bad habits though.
Swoon. That is so cute.
As much as I wouldn't want it to be a habit for Jane either - I do secretly wish she'd want to cuddle or sleep with me/us sometime. She has literally never slept in our bed, even as a newborn. I'd try to lie down with her after late night feedings and she just flailed too much. Now it's like party time on Mommy and Daddy's bed, not sleepy time.
I am very lucky that he is such an affectionate kid. You'll see - I will put money on it that he will give Jane (and probably you) a hug and a kiss when we part ways on Sunday. He is very sweet.
