Oh Grow Up

I must vent again. I'm not a fan of using my blog to vent, but I'm been feeling so overwhelmed. Nope, not with my son, dog, or even my husband but with my little sister. Well not so little, nearly 27 years old.
I feel that if you're "fucking up" (excuse my language) your parents have the right to tell you so, but since my parents now live in the Philippines and we only speak to them once a month, someone being me or my brothers should be able to tell her to grow up and put herself together.

To be fair and defend her, she was in a nine year relationship that went sour and unfortunately didn't have a back-up plan to what she could do if the relationship didn't work, which many many people are guilty of doing when in a long term relationship. It has been nine months since she's moved in and she still has no plans. Since she's lived here, she's only worked 2-3 months at Amazon (got laid off), that was month and a half ago. She stays out all night and sleeps until 2pm. How do you find a job like that. She says depressed and maybe she is but maybe she needs a good kick in the ass. I don't know but I've HAD IT!!! She's ungrateful, lazy, and not as helpful as I thought she'd be.

I'm going to speak to her. I've thought about it for a week now to try and see how I can go about doing it. Mature adult, sister to sister, parent to child, friend to friend, but I'm just going to say what I feel. I'm about to have another baby and I'm not really up to worrying about a grown ass girl, yup a girl, not a woman, well maybe a bitchy bratty teenager.

AAAAHHHHH better now!!!

Mama Update

Hello everyone!!! I just welcomed the third trimester. I wish I could say I'm doing great but unfortunately I'm a big ball of pain and discomfort. I've heard it said that each pregnancy is different but I truly didn't think it would be too different. For example, heartburn, pretty common in pregnancy. I had it with Kingston and it was moderate, with baby #2 not so moderate. Ligaments pains didn't have it with Kingston, but with baby #2, constant pain. I work for Costco and at four months I was getting it already. Now, at seven months, I can really only work 4 hours without being annoyed by it. The ever so common back aches, moderate with Kingston. I'd say it was a good seven to eight months before I even felt the back ache. I'm quite uncomfortable every time I get up or if I don't have my back brace on, which started at four months. The back pain I feel now is worst then when I was cashiering, and that with lifting, carrying, bending, twisting, and moving around bulk size items. The list continues with baby #2 with getting gestational diabetes two months into my pregnancy, thank goodness for Dr. Martin who studied my family history and that it would be wise to get it checked, "just in case", and she was right. MIGRANES MIGRANES MIGRANES!!! Need I say more?!?! Then found out I’m anemic, so I’m taking iron pills, TWICE a day, WARNING TMI: I'm constantly constipated. I complained and they said take stool softener, so now my stomach is a mess.
Here’s a short list of baby #2 body reaction: super dry skin, acne breakouts, lack of sleep, and craving anything sweet, which is a torture when you have gestational diabetes.

OH MY GEE, I just vented. Let me end this on a positive note, so if baby #2 ever reads this and is sadden by mom’s displeasure of carrying such a problem child, I’m happy that my feet aren’t swollen, ecstatic that I’ve yet to have stiff legs, Charlie horse, or leg cramps. Overjoyed that my blood pressure has stayed normal. Baby #2 I just want you to know that all the problems listed are normal in pregnancy. It really is, some will get it and some will. For some it will mild or moderate pain and some it will be level 10 on the pain scale, but in the end, it all so very worth it.

MAMA says you’re worth it and I’d do it all over again if I have to.
