I’m just going to... whatever, I’ll deal with the names... my parents already went through this whole thing where they wanted a name that didn't need a last name attached to it... you know, like how some kids end up being called Madonna or Britney or Cassandra... blah blah blah. It wasn't even that extreme, honestly, but even if it was... who cares? Anyway, my little girl is actually going to be named after my dear friend... but now that my parents have finally stopped their nagging, my cousin has decided to jump in. She’s one of those people who acts way more "devout" than anyone else—like she's trying to outdo the Pope or something. She started lecturing me about what kind of name this is, saying there has to be a specific reason why you choose a certain name... and that I really need to think about it more. Then she goes on about how Jewish traditions involved giving meaningful names where every name had its own numerical value... I honestly felt like telling her I’d just consult a tarot reader instead to see if the name is "good" or not... I just hate that kind of condescending attitude. And I hadn't even eaten breakfast yet... she kept me stuck on the phone for 57 minutes...
God, please save me from the fools...

I’ve still got about six weeks left until I give birth, and honestly, I just can't seem to get any sleep... It’s getting really frustrating dealing with all those comments like... "just sleep now while you can, because you won't be able to later." As if by getting a decent night's rest right now, I could somehow build up some kind of "sleep reserve" to use later on... ?? 🙂 I guess I'm also just worried that the baby might end up being one of those babies that sleeps through everything. 🙂

Today started out so well.... I actually managed to knock out a massive mountain of chores..... laundry, ironing, cooking, meal prepping...... and I left everything spotless, feeling pretty great about myself too.......... then, out of nowhere, a cheap plastic lighter fell from about five feet up and just... exploded.......... I was honestly sitting there wondering if this happens to anyone else.... ?? I mean, whatever, no big deal... but then, maybe two or three hours later, I managed to break a small mirror in the bathroom..... I was just thinking, shit..... it’s only been seven years since the last time I broke a mirror.......... and the best part? Just as I finally get into the shower........ I hear this weird shhhhhshshshshsh sound, and turns out a pipe leading to the toilet tank burst right out of the wall, basically giving me an extra shower at the same time ............ great... thank God I didn't drive anywhere today......... what can you even say about a day like this....

Anthony Watson35 said:I can’t even say this guy’s "help" actually works. 🤷 Like, sure, he does stuff—but HOW he does it is the problem. First example: vacuuming without touching the bedroom.
Second example: dusting. Great, now what? What am I supposed to do with the rest of the mess?
Third example: I go to clean the bathroom. Fine. But what about the toilet? Did he even look at the toilet?
Fourth: he takes out the trash. Cool. But what about the little bin in the guest bath? Yeah...

And so it goes, and so it goes, and so it goes...
To hell with this "helping" crap—what's the point if I have to go over everything eight more times with a rag, or end up doing half the damn work myself anyway?

I honestly thought I was the only one dealing with this at home... maybe I am. What's hardest is that he doesn't even notice any of it... and here I am, constantly nagging him to do this or that... whenever he actually does something, it feels so forced, and I still have to follow behind him... 😠😠😠And of course, nothing bothers him... so I just let everything slide for a few days... I changed the sheets and just threw all the laundry into the bathroom...
It ended up being four loads of laundry 🤣 and then he starts asking me when I'm finally going to start the machine... so I just act like I didn't hear him... like, why should I? And he tells me it's a mess and he has nothing to wear... so I told him that since I don't tell him what to do, he shouldn't be telling me either. 😂😂

In the end, he started three half-empty loads and thinks he's done his chores for the entire month... I'm actually 14 weeks pregnant, so I guess everything is just extra irritating right now...
