Yesterday I had a new post almost finished. My computer locked up and ... bye bye post! I was too tired to re-create it, and now I don't even remember what it was... I'm sure it was very witty.
Basically, I'm in a mental holding pattern waiting for tomorrow's doctor appointment. By my calculations, I'll be 11 weeks. I hope Sammy agrees!
Symptom-wise, I'm in another rage stage. Friday I was on a real tear at work -- one of the executives tried to negotiate a deal before I could get to it, causing all kinds of chaos that required me to re-do a weeks' worth of work over the next few days. If I could have taken his head off his neck and rolled it down the hallway, I would have done so. What I did do was write Bad Executive a scathing email and chew out our outside counsel for not letting me know what said executive was up to. They all said they were sorry, but I didn't believe any of them.
And already this morning, I can feel the rage simmering again ... I didn't get any household chores done this weekend, grumble grumble, because everything in this house is all about making the Dog happy, grumble grumble, why am I the only one who notices the dirt and the mess, grumble grumble, I hate hate hate that I have to do 40 minutes of housecleaning before I can even make my breakfast, grumble grumble, the bugs that got into the dog biscuits better not have spread to the rest of my kitchen or heads will roll, grumble grumble!!!
Two things will make me feel better this week -- seeing Sammy waving to us from the u/s (knock wood) and leaving Thursday for a long weekend away with my girlfriends. We're all leaving husbands, pets, kids and houses that Will.Not.Stay.Clean. for a few days of eating, talking and relaxation. Get me out of here now!!!
I know I can't say much to cheer you. But those strong, hormonal, raging flare-ups only demonstrate the real biochemical explosions going on in your brain during
pregnancy. Those hormones suggest a really strong placental attachment and good fetal development. Hopefully they'll tame themselves for the girl weekend. Good luck tomorrow at the u/s. I'm sure loosing your last post did not help matters! I remember yelling at my husband and feeling intense rage when his beer took up one shelf in the fridge and I wanted to thaw a package of meat and had nowhere to set it. How DARE he!
