OT**Not in the mood

I am really not in the mood to go to work today...   I've been up since 5:00 trying to talk myself into going,  I'm all ready to go but i just cant make myself go out the door!!!

i've already transferred most of my responsibilities to my "replacement" and i will be somewhat busy for the first hour or two answering her questions.  
I have a month end report that is due Tuesday and i know i really need to finish it but i really just dont feel like it and its not pregnancy related.

And i'm also sick and tired of people walking by my office, poking there heads in and saying  "oh, your still here"  
Do you not see me???   Am i not sitting at my desk??  Nope, i already gave birth, i'm just a figment of your imagination.

Maybe i should stay home, i'm getting more and more aggrivated about going in as i am typing this.  Maybe i will take a Mental health day and go get a mani - pedi.  Anyone want to come??


AHHHHH   it's raining outside!!  I have go out anyway and drive the kids to school.   I guess i might as well go in since i have to go out anyway.  

i am so ready for my Princess to be born already!!!

Pregnant woman and hormones are a torturous and interesting thing!

I just wanted to say thanks to all you ladies! I am sooooo relieved and thankful we have medhelp as a place to come together and "sound off!"

And men ARE the "weaker" sex.!!! =P

I can definately tell lol. I remember when I was pregnant it wouldn't take anything for my angry hormones to start working lol. My boyfriend would jokingly make a stupid comment and I would hit him haha. Not in the face or anything, but as a warning lol DON'T MESS WITH ME. My moms like you better watch out, those hormones are gonna kick your a$$ Steven lol.

Im at work i havent had decent sleep, im achy and just dont feel well. I thought i mentioned it this morning, only because i came to work doenst mean the way i feel has changed. I need sleep lol i get moody when i dont get enough sleep :)

Oh men are whimps...they wouldnt be able to handle it.
Im planning on not having the epidural...and for some reason hubby insist that im going to need it. Look ive walked myself up a hill holding my rollerblades with a shattered wrist to get home and call him. Yup i have a plate and seven screws. I have had many GallBladder attacks, i know what pain is.

I hear yall! I woke up this morning and felt so tired...I just didn't want to get up! Neither did Steven, but we did anyways. I've got 4 more hours to go! My mom works with me but she went home early because she was in a lot of pain from an injury she has and my other customer service rep took a half day today...so its just me bored.

I unfortuately can't take time off anytime soon. I have no paid days left because I used them all when I had surgery and was gone for 2 weeks. Man that was nice having all that time off, even though I was in pain most of it. I remember the night before I came back I was thinking gosh I don't wanna go to work tomorrow! Its weird that I was bored and wanting to get away from the house, but man work was not where I wanted to go! lol

As for the man being pregnant thing. I asked Steven if he would get pregnant so I don't have to(totally kidding) and he's like HECK NO I COULDNT DO IT! lol Men are pansies! Steven was having really bad back aches for about a week and said he thought he through out his back...I would like to see him feel like his back is out for a lot longer, ie pregnancy! lol I am so looking forward to being pregnant with our first baby (again) and going through all of this stuff, even though its not always peachy.

There was a study done and they put like 100 men through the pain of labor and delivery and over half of them passed out. Thats why women have the babies!

lol I just completely cut liquids off after like 8:00 so by the time I go to bed I only have to wake up about 3 times to pee.. rather than 6 or 7 if I drink anything before bed..

Feot- Travis pulls the "my back hurts" thing with me too and I ask him if he wants to carry around a 25 pound ball on his stomach for a few days then tell me his back hurts? he never has anything to say after that lol

I too am going to try and sleep in tomorrow.. It never works though b/c I have to wake up to pee 1,000 times.. Plus, I am so used to getting up at 6:15 for work, that my body wakes automatically. So annoying!

lol So i guess we all feel the same way...i woke up this morning. If you really want to call it waking up, between the bathroom trips and my back aching like there is no tomorrow i wasnt able to sleep. I wanted to stay home so bad, but hubby insisted, he tells me how im going to stop working here in about 4 weeks. My last 2 weeks i even have the option of coming in 3 days a week, its up to me. I will start training my replacement next week. Ugh but one thing that made me mad this morning was that when i told hubby i was aching and was very tired because i wasnt able to sleep, he said me too my back hurts too. UGH are you pregnant...NO so you dont know how i feel. Well anyways im here at work, though i feel a little better my back still aches, might be going home early. Dont know yet...its only 9:17am here *SIGH*
Well thank God tomorrow is Saturday :) Im sleeping in.

I got to drive an hour this morning to work for 4 hours.. Kinda made me mad while I was driving here but now that Im here Im looking forward to getting to leave while its still light outside.. I know how you ladies feel about no motivation.. My days off seem to be the worst for that.. I have to talk myself into taking a shower all day.. Otherwise I will just sit around in my pajamas.

and kazwel- I know what you mean about people "peeking in your office and saying "your still here?" This happens to me everyday and I just want to punch them.. YEAH IM STILL HERE.. I HAVE LIKE A MONTH LEFT OF BEING PREGNANT NOW SHUTUP!
Today when I came in the lady that Im working with actually said "You arent gonna pop that baby out right here are you?" umm.. considering we are in a hospital I think I would wobble my *** upstairs before I tried having a baby at my registration desk..
I know they are just joking and wanting me to have the baby but its still annoying because Im already hormonal, tired, and dont want to be here anyway.

I wish I didnt have to care about losing hours! I am soo poor though! : )

I am soooooooo wishing I called in sick today. Oh well... And yeah, my boss is actually sick too and she has NEVER called in sick or missed a day (other than scheduled vacation) so she has no sympathy for me AT ALL! I was hoping she would offer for me to take a half day (since I have said I feel like sh*t 100 times, but nooooooooooooo..)

That stinks.  I hate it when they are up your butt all day.  It makes the day drag on and on

I'm leaving very soon.  i was contimplating staying to help cover lunches but I changed my mind.  They can do it without me.  

The only thing that stinks is that i dont get paid for the time but i really dont care all that much.  I will have about 30 hrs in for the week  

I'm leaving in a few minutes

I'm not pregnant and I think I feel that way EVERYDAY! I am counting my days until I get pregnant so then I can count my days until I go on maternity leave so I can think hard on whether I am going to come back or not.

I am not even pregnant and I feel you both on the work thing.  My bed was so warm and toasty this morning.  I was so comfortable cuddling with my fiance and the baby was out cold.  It was so dark and the rain was so rhythmic it made me even more relaxed.  Then the alarm goes off and we have to get up.  It really was annoying.  But I remember being pregnant and having those days where you are just trying to convince yourself to go in but you really don't want to.  Procrastinating on getting ready.  There were so many of those days.

Hey,

Ironically enough, I felt the VERY same way today.. I have been sick all week though, I just have no paid days remaining. I had the super flu this past winter and missed almost 2 weeks.. There went all my sick time.. Uggh.. I already stayed home Wed. and took an unpaid day.. GREAT.. Less money and more stress!!


I am so tired and all I wanted to do was paint my toenails and nap.. Oh well.. I am now at work sitting at my desk, willing the time to fly by..

At least you will have your little princess soon! I won't have my little boy until mid-January.. =)

We can chat it up on here today, maybe it will pass the day??

Anyone else working and sooooo not into it today??
