Anyone just Craby???

[kgrfcharlton]

I am just such a grouch the past few days :. Of course everything right now is a "sign" that maybe I'll go into labor soon. But my poor kids are getting the crabbiest part of me.

Anyone else?

this is totally normal.

maybe ask for some alone time and take a warm bath?

I've been really cranky since about Saturday. I'm also feeling pretty tired so that's probably contributing to my mood!

[iloveoregon]

I am in a terrible mood today. I'm 41+1 and don't know whether I want to cry or bite someone's head off. Everything is annoying me today- especially my mother! I had a great appt yesterday with my midwives and was actually in a good mood. All we did was talk and they did a non stress test. everything is a-ok. But my mother sends a frantic email today wanting to know what the "doctor" said at my appointment (she doesn't know I use midwives, that's a whole other story). Um, let's see, the doc said I'M STILL PREGNANT. I'm only 1 week "late" by my family keeps wanting to know where "that baby" is and why haven't we called anyone. All it does is remind me that I'm still pregnant and make me feel like some freak for being overdue (hate that term). I want to go into labor so badly and they just make it all worse. So now I'm all stressed out today which probably delays labor even longer...sigh.. thanks for the ability to vent...

I'm crabby, too! On Sunday I took my daughter downstairs to junior church, and waited in line behind several small kids to use the bathroom before rejoining the service. DH and I had agreed that he would take everyone (minus me) to the mall after church so that I could have some much needed "alone time" to soak in the tub, practice hypnobabies, etc. So we're home, I'm in a quiet mood, anticipating 3 hours of P&Q, when my mom turns her anxious face to me and says, "ARE you in labor?" Grrrrrrr! I answered her unkindly, something to the effect of, "Mom! When I want you to know that I'm in labor, I'll tell you!" Later, of course, I apologized - she's been here and been a great help to me, and she's anxious, poor thing. But OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH, I've been increasingly hormonal. We changed our answering machine message to : "hello, this is the ___________. If we haven't contacted you, it's because there is NO BABY YET. If you are calling for any other reason, please leave your name and number so we can call you back." So on Monday, my brother calls, listens to the message, and leaves the following: "Hi, it's your brother Mark, just calling to find out if you've had the baby yet?" Double GRRRRRRRRRRR! Today in the verizon store, this man is walking away, does a double-take, and says to me, "Well, it's obvious what YOU'VE been doing!" Of course, all my snappy replies came to mind after he'd left the store: ('Really? What do you THINK I've been doing?' and 'I've got a baby in here, that's why I look the way I do...what's your excuse?') Luckily, I'm slowly coming around to seeing the humor in these situations - much healthier, and perhaps I can make a buck by sending it in to Readers Digest...later

headed for 42 weeks, and even the nice sepia-toned U/S photos are not satisfying my craving for my BABY!

I am SO CRABBY. My kids hear me say "Ssshhhh!!!" and "QUIET!!!" more than anything else right now! Ugh.

I am a grouch. I nearly bit the hardware guys in half and at the very least I put holes thru them with my laser eyes.

[Googy]

I've been really cranky and frustrated too. I was apparently "short" with my mother on the phone this morning and she got all offended and nasty with me. I told her that she needs to cut me a little slack right now--I'm doing the best I can!

[kgrfcharlton]

I think I'm going to be this way until I get the baby out! I'm really trying not to be though, for the sake of my kids...

i just posted that i bit someone's head off for answering my question rudely in another forum:! and then DH did a wonderful thing by stopping at the grocery store and wine store after court this morning to get the last of our thanksgiving groceries...and then took DS for a ride to fall asleep and i STILL found something to b*tch about!! i told him he got the wrong wine, and that we already had gingerale, along with a couple other things. all the time he is suppose to be at work...man am i a B*TCH!!!

You are so in my head today. At the NST they had to take my bp twice because I was so stressed over all the crap that has been piled on me on top of being hugely pregnant that I can't control that it was wwwaaaaayyy high. Once I got my vent out (the nurse hooking me up to the monitor said something stupid that sent me on a rant) and took a few deep breaths I was 123/74 where I usually am as opposed to the 140-something over almost 90. Oh, and the valet parking people were rude too. The woman that came up to my car asked me if I had an appointment... When I told her yes and looked at her funny, she was like, "Oh, just wanted to make sure that you weren't in labor since you have to be back out here by 6 when we close the valet service." This is at 12:45 mind you... And then the guy that went to take the keys and park the car asked me if the driver's seat was wet. : Then everyone and their brother is pushing me to scream for an induction or to give in and get cut again. Cause you know that if I get cut none of these people that are pushing me (nurses, family, etc) are going to be here to help me out with the house or the children once DH goes back to LA for work, yet they feel so comfortable about pushing their opinion on me. : Like I don't want this baby out so I can sleep on my back again and wear clothing that fits properly.

..slap..(i just slapped that jerk who said that about the seat being wet)! How rude! Hang in there. I'm doing better today and hopefully you are too. I'm going in for acupuncture tomorrow morning to see if that'll kick things off. I'm really excited to try it!!

I've been in three times now and not much change. If they want to induce me medically on Monday I'm going to call and see if they will do the major points on me before getting chemicals. I really want this baby to come out the front door, so to speak since I never got to labor with DD as I got scared into getting cut.

I'm super crabby right now.. I'm so over being pregnant, I want to have my baby.. I want to know if it's a boy or girl, I want everyone to stop looking at me in shock that I'm either #1-so huge or #2- past due and don't have a baby yet. I'm DONE with this.. sadly baby doesn't agree LOL

[chrysalis]

i am SO crabby the last few days.....low on tolerance/patience w/ Megh and i feel just awful about this. she wants to paint her toenails and i won't let her this morning cuz i don't want to smell that stuff...my mom spoiled her rotten yesterday and got megh this big case of makeup for girls and inside included nail polishes...guess my mother doesn't realize this will bother me...sigh. it isn't like megh can go outside in the warmth of the summer or spring......poor megh. i am such a crab, i just want to be alone lately............my mom is wanting 'alone time' today (at least that is what she said last night...) and it is pissing me off now that i think of it cuz i need it more than her as far as i am concerned. today i'm supposed to take megh to an AP group meetup at a local nature museum and i am so not into it. also supposed to be going to a homeschool/unschoolers felting project/play gathering and i'm not into that either. i feel so badly for megh. i don't think my mom would bring her to either of these for me and that really upsets me. i am not even going to ask her to do it. sometimes i feel so pissed that i'm even pregnant because of how this is coming down on my megh...mama's (yours truly, that is...) always tired, often grouchy...impatient w/ her..............this is awful. this sucks.: and it probably won't end w/ having the baby either...i'll be tired then too. i'm completely overwhelmed and pooped out. i want to go back to bed again today. don't know if my mom will be there for me 2 days in a row of this. i suppose it wouldn't hurt to ask...tell her how i feel. i hate pawning megh off on her, or anyone.......i hate that i have these needs right now. god i'm a grump. i feel so 'off' kilter. ugh. i want to just cry and be alone. i hate not going to the museum for megh today but i just feel like i want to curl up in a ball (if i can get into that position...lol) and sleep and cry and be by myself.

[chrysalis]

anyone still crabby as all hell? just the more i think about my mom's responses w/ megh sometimes when megh is pretty rude, the more i get upset and crabbier. now i'm crabby w/ megh cuz i'm overwhelmed. i don't need my mothers comments about 'this has got to stop' in regards to meghan's behavior/comments. megh is going thru a lot still...it doesn't just disappear cuz we have been here over a month now. she's gonna still test my mom and do a push pull thing and sometimes be real rude. my mom will tell her she is being rude and megh will say no i'm SWEET. that to me is a girl crying out for love unconditionally. she doesn't want my mom getting nasty or pulling away from megh when megh acts rude...she's testing as far as i see. god i'm so overwhelmed. i just feel meghs' had enough of tom riding her back, now she has my mom's disapproval. and i have pressure on me about 'this has got to stop'. whatever! we haven't lived by my mom so just cuz megh knows her grandma from visits every few months doesn't mean my mom is automatically in w/ megh all the way. orrrr.....my mom should be honored that megh feels she can totally let loose no matter how she feels w/ my mom. i'm not going to punish megh or make her feel like crap for behaving like a young girl does when she doesn't quite know how to put words or better actions to how she is feeling. the poor girl just got uprooted from our 'family' with tom in MN after 2 years and she's got a baby brother to be born any moment and a grandma who loses patience w/ meghs' crappy attitudes sometimes. she doesn't like when megh demands things... ie. she was crying and whining demanding her new gingerbread house kit in the car when my mom was slooooowing loading the back w/ groceries. i told megh she could hold it and forgot to grab it for her when i jumped into the car to warm it up. my mom threatened not to give her the kit and to stop crying. that REALLY bothered me. megh can cry all she needs to. she was upset and frustrated. i just think my mom is being a real b*tch lately and taking meghs' attitude/behavior way too personally. ugh am i ever crabby. figured i'd start up this thread again....not to focus on the negative but just so we can vent, those of us who are crabby. i kind of hijacked a thread on happy pg stuff and feel bad so i figured i'd better come back to this one.
