The not happy thread

I know I shouldn't grumble because it isn't really anything to grumble about, but I'm sick of Tobin being so small. He is 2 months old and everyone I know is having their babies and they are all so much bigger than Tobin. I saw a friend yesterday and he baby is only 3 weeks younger than Tobin and it is more than twice the size of him. It's really frustrating and makes me look like a bad mom for him still being so tiny. He just isn't growing very well.

 

Cheery-ho and all that. My brother was a preemie, born a month early, and we have photos of him looking like a rag doll, a tiny, indecipherable bundle. He was a scrawny little dude. But he grew well, and now he's a big strong wunnerful teenager. If he's any indication, little babies make for great people. 'Sides, things of this sort tend to flip around. When I was in kindergarten, I was the tallest kid in my class, and now I don't know a single person my age who's shorter than me. So chin up, and know that we all adore Tobin, small or no.

Cheers,

I hope he stays!

Anyone who would look at Tobin and think you're a bad mom is both foolish and ridiculous. Like Lavender, I also have a brother who was born premature-2 lbs 2 oz-and he was teeny tiny for a very long time, but now he's taller than I am. Also, I know lots of people who have small kids. Some kids are just smaller than others...it's not a reflection of how well you parent them. And anyone whose opinion matters knows how much you love Tobin and how well you care for him.

Edit: Raaaaaar! Joel and I ordered our flowers for our wedding months ago. I forget exactly when, but it was back in like May-ish. We figured if we did it then, we wouldn't have to worry about it close to the wedding. Well...still don't have them. We ordered them through a person my mom goes to church with, so she talked to her last week, and the woman said she would get them done this week and let me know how much I owed her. Yeah, that was a week ago. They're still not done. What the hell? I'm really starting to wish I'd ordered them through somewhere else...

 

thank you both.

Hidden, take a few deep breaths and relax. Then get in touch with the woman yourself and find out what is going on. Try not to stress too much sweetie. Big hugs

 

Thanks, Tor. I'm trying to be calm about the whole thing, it's just frustrating that she hasn't even communicated with us to tell us what's going on...how does it take someone 6+ months to make a bouquet and a few corsages? Gah.

 

My mother does fully decked out weddings with hundreds of different arrangements and it only takes her three days max to do one. What your going through is ridiculous, and with something that should only take an afternoon.

 

See, that's what I was thinking, but I've never done or seen anyone do something like that, so I wasn't sure. Grrrr, I need to get her phone number and give her a call. I've got ten thousand things to get done with only four weeks until the wedding, so I really don't need to add making my own flowers to the list...

 

Have Joel or someone else do it if your busy. All it really is is telling someone to move their lazy ass and get s*** done. Anyone can do it really haha.

 

I'm not happy because Tobin had his two month needles today and his leg is so swollen that it looks like I put a golf ball on it, he is so grumpy, keeps screaming in pain, high temp, and the hospital said "Massage it, and if he cries, feed him" great load of frigging help those idiots are.

 

I'm horribly depressed and keep beating myself up about everything.

 

Coursework. Aaargh.

 

^ Ditto. I left two massive peices with one week to do them in. WHY do I do this?! Now i'm forced to do something that I can't be bothered to do.


Sorry to hear you're feeling down Lemex. x

 

I'm doing course work too, I've to hand it in next week and have only done one really awful draft.

 

To my dear friend Ares:

I have half a pack of dog treats and no one to give them to, and for the first time in fifteen years our home is silent. Though it's just as cluttered and messy as you remember, it's empty. I don't think it will ever be full again.

 

I'm sorry Agreen, I know what it's like to lose a pet.



I'm regretting what I wrote to someone. I wish I had not written it.

 

I'm unhappy because I'm sick with the stomach flu, and I feel so nauseated and disgusted. I hate being sick.

I can't even look at food right now. I don't know if I caught the bug from food or my brother, who was sick before me. Either way, I'm never eating banana bread or those disgusting chicken wings again. xP Or that fried chicken my mom picked up. I never want to even look at those foods ever again.

I feel so sick.

 

^ So sorry! I, too, am currently sick of being sick. Annoying, isn't it?

And Agreen, while no other pet will be able to fill another's place, every pet can make its own place. My dearest of hammies Leo died more than a year ago. Lou didn't fix his death, but she has her own personality and sweet little quirks that make me love her and make her dear to me. I hope you find another friend of the sort that never answers back, and I hope you are happy together for many years.

Cheers,

She's so evil. So so evvvvvvviiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiillllllll! She makes me unhappy.

 

She was absolutely perfect for that role, though.

 

I"m not happy because I'm exhausted after being up 99% of the night with Tobin who just kept screaming in pain and had a rather high temperature, all because of his immunisation. The swelling has gone down a little, but both legs ended up really badly swollen by midnight. His legs were almost as big as a normal 2 month old baby at one stage...

 

I'm sorry to hear that Tobin suffered from his injections. My niece is getting hers tomorrow. Poor things. They don't understand that it is for their own good. All they know is that it hurts and they expect mommy to fix it...which she can't. Hang in there.

 

My best friend/academic rival's ACT score was two points higher than mine. Which is exactly how I said it would go. I have much more studying to do.

 

Yeah, it is horrid. Mase and Ami never had any problems with them. They would have a tiny squeak as they had them and then sleep really well for a few days afterwards. It isn't nice when they don't like them and have bad reactions. Hope your niece doesn't have as hard a time as Tobin had with her immunisations.

 

Emily, in the end, grades are not everything. My friend told me that my 3.0 was really low in high school. In college, I am now pulling a 3.27. Don't give up, you can do it. You will always study in life, no matter how much you think you know.

 

It's just. this grade determines important things. *sigh*
