October 2014 - thread 8 - more growing tums, shopping & pubic topiary

[Kirstipops]

Hi folks, new thread!

Hi Ladies...here's a link on the new isize car seat safety law that came into effect last year..

I am shattered this week. Been working from home as DS had an op over a week ago & he's to stay off nursery for 2 wks.. Trying to far get stuff done when he's around is tough, so I've ended up doing 2 late nights til midnight & 1.30am!! DS then excelled himself by constantly waking last night when I went upstairs to bed so I woke up at 4am after dosing with DS on my arm & kicking me in his sleep...put him back to bed to then be woken at 5.45 by him banging on his baby sisters bedroom door!

Putting the kids to bed & pizza has been ordered...then straight to bed me thinks!

Rant alert - don't feel obliged to read this but made me feel better!!

Tonight is one of those nights I could really do with a very large glass of wine.
Everything aches, I can't hear, low down stitch, hip pain, inconsolable toddler about I don't know what, random man swore at me when he was wrong side of the road and not me, childminder seems to have given up helping me to potty train ds, stupid training day at work tomorrow which have had to swap working day for and people being arsey about needing to leave early, builder left house a mess, hair products not arrived so will look like Monica from friends in Hawaii, DH working late again and then will get home when I want to sleep and ask me what colour windows / doors / tiles / floor as we need to order tonight, not finished any of my work and client being difficult, head ache, organising a hen do and no time to do it, DH on stag do this weekend so just me in a building site of a house with loads of work to do and no tv (more to distract ds from the cement mixer, power drills and Swiss Army knives... oh I could go on and on.

Ah that felt good. Maybe I can laugh about it now and crack open a alcohol free beer.

That puts me dropping my coffee on my way to work into perspective. Although it was pretty upsetting.
sorry you're having such a crappy time fedup

Think there must be something in the water at the moment seems like everyone is having a tough time of it.
Hope things bet better for you soon granny and fedup dd is getting better slowly but I am fit for nothing! Just worked out I haven't washed my hair since Sunday blush I am having an early night feel like I'm coming down with something really do not need to get ill at the moment!
Ds has now started cruising so is into everything feel like he is on a suicide mission lost track of how many times I've had to rescue him before he does serious damage to himself :)

Oh god I can't even do and embarrassed face right tonight

Mine isn't really all that bad, just a general moan. Someone once said to one of my friends who was moaning "at least you have your legs". True. I have my legs (albeit puffy and cramping) And I am pregnant which am eternally grateful for. just felt the need to let it all out!

Eaten crisps for dinner so far.

Pregnant forgot to say hope your little girl recover quickly...sounds horrific. And I sympathise to the cruising baby...my 11month old daughter is doing the same!!

24wks today...

I have massive rage. It's amazing how quickly it comes on.. I suppose that's the whole point of rage.

I'm going to have to go to bed to avoid killing people/breaking windows/doing some shouting. I'm home alone... I'd have to break windows first in order to shout at anyone or kill anyone.

Wow - some of you have really young kids. 11 months and already 5 months preg! Not sure I was even having sex at that point!!

With you in the rage goats - I had it badly earlier but calmer now. Phewf. People are safe in my neighbourhood.

Work is doing my nut in.

Only 14 days.. only 14 days.. only 14 days..

Fedup I don't think my period returned until 8 months after J was born and he stopped night feeding either.

I'm having the rage with the dog - who keeps minesweeping the streets for any garbage she can eat and then vomming it all up. So I'm yelling at her like a fishwife. This poor baby must be listening to me thinking 'OMG that's my MUM!!!!'

I worry about that - all small hears is my voice repeatedly telling children off. Not shouting, just stern sounding tones. Children are all being really annoying - I think yesterday I said 'Stop talking' about 500 times.

Adults are also being really annoying though. Yerp, I'm mostly just annoyed.

What would you do if right now, your partner had the option to do something AMAZING that you have done before you met him, but you have talked a lot about doing together at some point? It involves booze and probably drugs, is a great shared thing, so isn't something you can do pregnant - and anyway, you've not been given the option. He's been given the option. You desperately want to do it again, ideally with him.

It's today, last minute, would last all weekend. Your house is a tip with builders and you can't fix that alone. Oh, and obviously you are pregnant with the rage.

Hee hee - you make me laugh as you just sound like me. I find everyone annoying, particularly someone new at work who just criticises and doesn't give any solutions, my client who doesn't seem to understand their core business and HR at work who still haven't confirmed my mat leave dates.

fedup I found out I was pregnant when Ds was 14 weeks old!! Note to self_ listen to the contraception talk the hv gives you and don't get drunk for the first time since being pregnant and think oh it'll be ok!! You really really will get pregnant
After the initial shock I was happy we had always said we wanted four and that's what we are going to have! Just a bit closer in age than planned :)

Thanks granny hopefully we may leave the house tomorrow everyone getting bad tempered and bored (mainly me!) good to know not just me with a baby with a death wish

Yes there can be a real fertility bounce after birth (especially if FF as the body can think the baby has died if noone is consuming BM and gives you the same fertility bounce you can get after a MC) a lady on my last antenatal thread got preggers at 8 or 9 weeks post partum. She has a 10 and a bit month age gap. And I don't think BF makes you safe either. I found snapping at DH with sleep deprivation and because he was winding the baby 'wrong' a great contraceptive however .

Goats I'd lock him in the cellar!

Goats - what did your partner decide to do then, go without you or give it a miss? I'm feeling a bit grumpy because I have two things on this weekend that I'm obliged to go to but don't want to go to either :/ Retirement drinks tomorrow (planning to show face for a couple of hours but really just want to go straight home and cook steak dinner that I've been dreaming of all week), then on Saturday night it's DH's football team's player of the year awards fundraiser. It usually involves a race night type thing. Yawn. I have nowt in common with the other WAGS but usually booze sees me through...harrumph
So nothing really of consequence to complain about this weekend, just in a huff.

I don't know, he's away.

I've calmed down a bit now, there wouldn't be actual punching if it has happened. To be honest, when I spoke to him earlier, he felt rough, so who knows. I'm not very good at being home alone.

Glastonbury? I think I would go for the locking him up option!

If its Glasto then its his duty as he who did the updiffing to miss it in solidarity. Just because he can go doesn't mean he should be an asshat.

Yep, vip backstage Glasto. I've been lots of times, he's never been. He's put off by it normally due to camping. But this is posh yurt.

We're going to a little festival together in July, but it's a bit literary and foodie and world music stuff rather than pilling it up. I don't mind that prrgnant. Glasto I mind about in general.

I've spent the last half hour working out what he'd owe me if he went...

I'd feel bad stopping him, but he'd never be allowed to talk about it, and there would be the revenge.

Goats are you going to WOMAD? Wow, back stage at Glasto? I think I'd owe mrsthedog a lot if I did that without her.
