Thanks but no thanks

So DF doesnt have a job anymore. After a week and a half of working for the company, they pretty much said to him "Thanks, but we dont need you anymore. Bye"
Grrr!!! It was so painful to see the man thing come home after being told that. We both had such high hopes for that job. Looks like it's back to the drawing board, yet again.
We never seem to be able to win.

Again

I'm back again. I keep forgetting to update, then when I do remember, I can never think of anything to say. Sorry guys :)

Well I'm still pregnant. Still have the sore boobs and the random other symptoms. Worrying a bit that it's all going to turn to shit on me, but still trying to keep my chin up.

It was supposed to be my due date yesterday for my son, so I've been feeling a bit sad and stuff like that. Trying to keep myself occupied and whatnot. The man thing and I spent a quiet day at home yesterday and watched dvds together. It was nice.

Anyway, I'll try to remember to update a bit more often.

Mother Bother

I dont even know why I try helping my mother. Honestly. I moved out of her house so she wouldnt be able to drive me bonkers, and she's doing it from a distance anyway!
So she's supposed to be giving up smoking. She's using the patches and the lozenges and all that, but she picks and chooses when she wants to use them! I thought that if you were going to try quit smoking, you would actually try, rather than make a token attempt then decide it's too hard!
She cant feed herself properly. She has absolutely no idea on what makes a good diet, she never has known. Her excuse, she cant be bothered only cooking for one person. Oh boo hoo! Hell, when I was living with her she could barely be bothered cooking for 2 people! I ended up doing most of the cooking just so it a) had some flavour and b) so there were actually some vegetables! She acts like she's allergic to vegetables, when I know for a fact shes not. She has absolutely no idea on how to feed her cat either. Oh, I've run out of cat food, lets feed the cat a lasagne topper, at least it will make him stop bugging me for food.

GRRRRR!!! She fucks me off so much because she is just so CLUELESS!
I hate feeling more mature than her. I'm 19 FFS. She's 47. I've been feeling more mature than her since I was 15!

I seriously dont know how to deal with her, because she parades all her shit in front of me, and I'm such a softie at heart that I cant help but try to help her, when all that does is fuck me off MORE!

I try not to visit her too often anymore because her whole attitude gets on my nerves. She complains she doesnt have anything to do when her house looks like a pigsty most of the time. She sleeps all day, and her personal hygiene leaves a lot to be desired. I just get fed up with all her shit. I am VERY glad I dont live with her anymore, otherwise I would have gone completely mental months ago.



Ok, I'm over it. No more helping my mum. She needs to learn how to stand on her own two feet rather than having eneryone pick her up all the time.


(Sorry guys, just really needed to get that out)

What's in a name?

I'm up late looking at names. The man thing and I made a list of names for the last sproglet and we didnt pick any of them. I've just been putting all the names we do have listed into a spreadsheet along with meanings so it's easier to have a good look and make a choice. I just spent a good hour looking up the meanings. I even looked up whether they are in the top 100 nationally, or top 30 internationally. (Yeah, I'm a geek)

I also found a few new names to add to the list like Alevandra and Jayson. Yeah, I'm into alternative spellings and all that. I'm really not interested in a common name, but neither of us want a really out there kind of name either. I'd prefer a name that can be shortened easily, but I'm not so interested in an already shortened name. So I'd rather go for Nathaniel than just Nathan, or Nate. I'm picky lol.

Anyone have any ideas for names? I currently have about 50 girls names, and about 20 boys names, so I think I need a few more. Please, feel free to suggest something :)


Well today I went kind of mental on vacuuming the house lol. I spent about 20 min just vacuuming the hallway, trying to get all of my hair out of the carpet. I have long hair, and it seems to get EVERYWHERE! Just to let you in on how much hair was in the carpet in the hallway, it is about 1.5 metres by 0.7 metres (we have a very short hallway, and a rather small house). And it took me 20 minutes to get all the hair out of the carpet. Yes, that is bad. I'm going to have to go through the whole house attacking the carpet the same way I was today, with the brushy foot bit on the sucky part of the vacuum cleaner (lol, yeah I dont know what it's called)
The man thing and I moved all the furnishings in the lounge today and I vacuumed where everything was. These things havent been moved, or vacuumed under, in about 6 months, since we moved in here.

Anyway, I'm absolutely knackered. I ache in places I havent ached in a long time. I'm off to bed. G'night.

Boooooo-bies

Well theres a pregnancy symptom I didnt expect to see for a few months yet. Leaky boobs. Not too bad, thankfully, just a couple of drops, but still, it's more than I was expecting at this point in my pregnancy!

The man thing is enjoying his job, thankfully. I think it's the only 9 - 5 (ish) job he's ever had. All I know is that it's weird not having him come home around 4 :( Like he used to. I'm sure I'll get used to it eventually.

Oh gosh! The hunger I had this morning! I could swear my stomach thought my throat had been cut lol. All was fixed after a lovely bowl of porridge. Mmmmmm.

Grumble grumble

Not me, my tummy. I cant find anything I want to eat :( I'm thinking about cooking up a sausage or two, but still cant decide.
The man thing is off at work, hopefully enjoying himself, and I'm sitting at home waiting for the washing machine to finish, for the second time today. I'm trying to catch up on the chores that seem to run away on me. I'm not looking forward to doing the dishes, mainly becuase that is supposed to be the man things job. I dont see what is so hard about washing the dishes when theres only a few of them, rather than waiting until theres a gigantic stack.
Oh how I wish we had a dishwasher!!!

Oh, I'd love it if I got some comments :)

Paranoia

So everyone says (well doctors really) that a line is a line, in relation to pregnancy tests. Awesome.
So I was sitting here earlier on worrying about the pregnancy test I took the other day. The not-very-sensitive one, because it has faded a bit. The line is still there, just not as clearly, or as wide. The First Response test I took is still perfectly fine. I think the line faded a bit as it dried, but it's still clearly there.

Meh, paranoid preggy worries lol. I asked my man thing to pick me up another test on his way home anyway, if he remembers.

OH!! My man thing got himself a job! (Yeah, I know you've heard this before lol) Working for one of those home ventilation companies. It's awesome, he's a telemarketer :)

I also put in a couple of job applications for part time work for me. Scary thought. I havent had a real job in... over a year. Almost 18 months actually. Wow. If I manage to get one of the jobs it wont be a huge amount of money, but at least it will be something. I've been thinking about getting myself a part time job for a while now, just to help keep the boredom at bay.
Sure, I love having the freedom to do what I want, when I want, but it gets quite boring being at home all day every day, which I tend to do more often than not.
