Flameless Friday
Let's here it girls! Vent away!
Re: Flameless Friday
SIL: Get over your petty BS and stop refusing to be anywhere where MIL's BF will be. They are in their 70's, have been living together for like 15 years, and they're HAPPY. So just accept it, and don't make my visit miserable. If you can't, then you need to tell me WHY you refuse to associate. Oh, and this trip is OUR vacation, we are not on your schedule or itinerary. STOP creating things for us to do with random distant family members.
DH: Your job right now is to shelter me from stress. This includes dealing with the above-mentioned petty BS and your sister. While I do appreciate you telling her we would not spend ALL DAY Saturday at her house and instead suggest that they come to the hotel so the kids can do the water park - you did not make it clear that MIL's BF will be there and that we are not going to choose between them. I guarantee you, this will be an issue.
School nurse - while I appreciate you sending home a notice about the H1N1 vaccine clinic the district is holding, you really do need to learn how to proof read! "Fill free to contact me" along with the rest of your grammatical errors (than/then, etc) make you look like an idiot and I question the education my children are receiving at a school that would send those letters home. I hope you enjoy the marked-up, proofread copy I sent back today.
You did not! LOL!
That's awesome LOL!
WOW!!! GO Wendi!
DH-you were just MEAN last night! Trying to get me to tell you whether or not I got you/us DS's! AND I did not cave in, either (yah for drama class in '88). So, you THINK I got you/us DS's-but now you aren't sure, are you?... And that I didn't put tags on all of the gifts-HA! Piss me off...
AND
Adding yet another gift to the kids' pile-really!? Just cause BM said 2 of them would like it? YOU CAN GO GET THAT ONE-she ran outta $ and they have everything they really need, dear. PLUS-I've been footing most of the holiday bill! ( I'm already searching for a friggin' Gadsden Flag (the yellow-don't tread on me one) for you! Glad those vendors answer questions online! ugh.) btw-glad you wrapped that ONE gift. must've been tough.
WORK-I'm so tired of wondering if we're going to be busy enough to keep all 3 designers... I'm tired of it. Tired of trying to 'look' busy. And you KNOW we've contacted all of our contacts and that with the holidays... So, stop. I'm tired of 'pvssyfooting' my way around. (glad I'm off today!)
Bahahahaha! Go Wendi! I loathe grammatical errors. It is NOT that hard. If my 9 year old niece is correcting adults, there's something wrong.
My FF rants:
MIL - still annoyed with the whole pie thing. Jerk. Also, did not appreciate you asking me for ideas for one more gift for Ty, me telling you something he'd REALLY like & appreciate, telling me not to say anything to him, then emailing HIM the next day with the same list to choose from that did not include the thing I told you he'd like most! GAH! Hopefully you got him that thing and are planning on ANOTHER from his list, because honestly, he'd get so much more use & appreciation from the thing i suggested than dvds & video games. And why does he need more than the xbox anyway? Thanks, but you're nuts! I do NOT want to hear about how you have no money this year!
Gossamer - I swear, I'm going to strangle you. Stop DIVING into the tree when nobody is looking and pulling off only the glass balls & ribbon! You're lucky you're too cute for words...
Wendi, that's awesome!!
Bossman: 1st off, grow some balls, SERIOUSLY!!! You have been working here for over 20 years and you cannot give a presentation!?!?! Last time we had this meeting I was on crutches and you were supposed to present but we;re freaking out so I had. I have to lean on a crutch to stand. And now this time, I am sick as hell. I am on meds and should be home sleeping. Yet I am here bc you are freaking out about knowing the presentation stuff. YOU are the owner and I am the backup. Yet I am the one always presenting. I dont mind hwen I am well, but when I'm not, man up.
Also, I am thrilled that you have put me in charge of our ss, but that means you need to direct the assocaites of that area to me and tell them I am there manager now, NOT YOU. You always have me handle all the dirty work like write ups and new job tasks/duties. But when it comes to handing out the paycheck, allowing vacation days, or signing time sheets, you do it. And the associate has straight out said she doesnt think it's fair I am her boss bc she's older than me, so she comes to you for everything. If you want me to do the dirty work with this massive b!tch, then you need to send her to me always, not handle the easy stuff and pawn the sh!t onto me.
Since you are ball less, I am going to bring this up to you next time I am near and you handle something I should be doing. The associate is clearly disrespecting my authority, so you are either going to give me all of the work involving her, or I will being doing NONE of it.
MIL: Your a self serving, lazy, greedy, ready to kill off your own mother just to get her house, selfish child who needs to grow up. And I don't like you!!
Your STILL recieving child support for DH WHO IS MARRIED!! And now you are griping cause FIL wants to stop paying so much considering DH IS MARRIED and frankly hasn't been living with you since he was about 10 yrs old!!! Does DH ever see any of that money any ways NO, you use it to pay for your brand new frekin' truck.
Sunday you sat on your booty and played on the computer while DH and I put up G's(who you are just sacrificing yourself for, to help....whatever) Christmas stuff. Then you have the gall to tell me your allergic to "Those kind of trees" fake Christmas trees...really... DH hit the nail on the head when he said the only thing your allergic to is work. And so what if you had to wash clothes, hang them out and cook food for a whole day that G had to be on strict rest. G does that every stinkin' day for your ungreatful, lazy bum, and the 5-6 kids who stay at her daycare.
UGH!!!!.... words can just not discribe how much I very much dislike you right now.
Dear Subi: we love you, we really do. We'll pay to get you fixed and running again, but we really expect some appreciation back. That means no more car trouble for a year! We won't use you as much, so you just have to keep it together until we can pay down your loan, m'kay?
PIL: thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm not used to be pulled out of a hole by parents (my parents really have no means), so this is still a little weird for me, but I do appreciate all your help! (I realize that was not a vent, but we didn't have thankful thursday yesterday
)
I forgot. Wendi: you're awesome!!
Sierra: I dislike your MIL too!
Omg, Wendi. I know someone who's friend used to do that to her college paper.
Dear back - I feel you acting up. Stop it. I've been good pretty much all this week because I think just MAYBE PT is starting to work (right before it runs out of course). BEHAVE SO I CAN GET OUT OF THIS CITY.
MTA - Omg, you guys are so dumb. If you cut some overnight service, you will have ZERO EXCUSE TO SUCK AS MUCH AS YOU DO. You are an embrassment. Have you seen DC mass transit? London? Even Paris with their teeny-tiny subway cars? Their subway stations make ours look like a third world country. And they have digital countdown clocks. ARG I HATE YOU SO BAD.
Ha! I know these kids' NYC alter egos. Booooo!
I can't wait to move back to WA state :P. We've got them there too, but not NEARLY as many!
DH: I am tired. Very very tired. Especially of being the only one who does anydamnthing around here. Like the cooking, the laundry and the lion's share of the chores. So yes I was a little undone when I called you after I got done at work and you asked me to stop at the meat market and get the hot dogs I specifically asked YOU to get on your way home so that I could go to the grocery store to get the chilli stuff for tomorrow when our friends come over.
And no, I don't want to decide what's "for chow" tonight. You decide and you cook it damnit!
ILs: it is NOT our responsibility to be your entertainment every holiday season. I have a family I'd like to see too. And they are 8 hours away, so I don't get to see them near as often as we see you. I'm sorry we didn't get to switch holidays this year, but that's how it works out. And you're only an hour away, so you get the lion's share of our time anyway. (This is why you should have had more than one kid.)
