Time for a vent-flame free of course!
Let it go, ladies!! 
Re: Time for a vent-flame free of course!
Ok, here's mine.
We have been TTC 100% since December. We have been unsuccessful. I know it hasn't been that long, only 4 months but it feels like it's been an eternity.
So, I go on facebook last night and one of my good friends sends me a message saying "I think I'm pregnant. Will you please get pregnant now?" This was their FIRST month trying for their 2nd. I wanted to cry...my heart sank to the ground, no joke. Of course I'm super excited and happy for her but I'm extremely jealous and envious!
I just want to go in the bathroom and cry because I have horrible cramps from my period and the above.....
I feel the same way about this issue. Sucks, but I know you've probably heard it before, it will happen. Try not to stress and think about it. It will happen.
Me, I am just tired of people's crap at work and it's really starting to piss me off so bad, that I want to walk out and never come back. I am doing my "normal" job, my supervisor's job, my "other" job and this guys job since he is out for 30 days. Sucks. And to top it off, I am not even getting paid for all this. I haven't got my raise for it but I ask every week and yet nothing, same o'l story.
Can I win the lottery now? please

Okay well aside from totally understanding your vent Stacy
I go back to work Tuesday and officially regain my title as "Wicked Witch of the West". I'm okay with that, really, I mean, when your the boss people will always not like something about you- I accept that and own it for what it is. BUT what pisses me off are the people who like think they were a perfect boss (IE: someone who's left the company) and you're like really- um cause I had to convince all of your employee's that the person I put in your position wouldn't have those qualities?!
L-A-M-E it's lonely at the top, deal with it, and accept that you wont be everyone's favorite and it's not your job to be.
End vent.
I'll play! I am sick to death of my one-hour commute to work. But not because I hate driving all that much (actually, I've never really minded driving), but because I am tired of aggressive, inconsiderate AZ drivers. If you're not tailing the person in front of you, then you're getting cut off every 30 seconds because you're the only one leaving any sort of space between you and the car ahead of you. And, naturally, the person who cuts you off can't be bothered to use a blinker to give you any sort of warning. AND it always seems to be someone in an enormous truck/SUV.
Also, as long as I'm ranting about bad drivers... when I get off the freeway at my exit, there is one right turn lane and then a lane that is a straight-or-right-turn lane. Each and EVERY SINGLE DAY, the person who is in the far right lane turns (as I'm also turning) and crosses over into my lane, because they either don't realize that my lane can also turn or they're so anxious to get over to the left that they need to cut me off. And I actually USE my darn turn signal, so it's not like they didn't have any warning that I was turning into my OWN lane. I could see this happening once in a while, but it seriously happens practically every day, and one of these times I'm just not going to be able to hit my brakes fast enough.
Thanks for this post, Stacy. I think I needed to get that out.
I agree that AZ drivers suck- but no one is worse then Puerto Rican drivers.... seriously- talk about scariest driving experiences EVER!
*Edit meaning driving IN Puerto Rico, not like by origin.
Not sure how this is possible, BUT I'm actually more stressed now than I was when I was planning our wedding. Lately I just feel like I'm going to explode or collapse...
1) CALCULUS - Kill me now
2) 17 credit hours + 40 hour work week
3) Renovating the house/living in a construction zone w/ NO kitchen sink or countertops for over a month.
4) Tax season - its my first year doing tax returns, and I hate not being 100 percent confident in my work.
5) Misc. family obligations, specifically my sisters sweet 16 party prep (party is this Saturday).
I have no free time, and my day doesn't end until like 10-11 b/c I'm trying to keep up with homework. I think I actually work harder on the weekends, so come Monday morning I am completely drained and not prepared for another week.
Ughhh its only Thursday!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
It's not the AZ drivers, it's the people who come to the AZ. Natives don't drive like that, promise. Well at least I don't.
haha, I am scared of the CA drivers.

Total side note: how is tax season treating you so far? I saw that you are an accountant in PP.
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Poor Taylor!! I hear ya about calculus! Worst thing on earth! And I also hear ya about working full time and going to school full time, did that for 3 years. Not fun!
But you'll have fun at sisters sweet 16! Hope your baking paid off!
Driving in CA is cake compared to here! You just gotta get used to the 15 lane freeways and going over 75 hah
Oh no, I'm not an accountant, I just work in the accounting dept. of my company. lol Thanks for asking though!
thanks! It is VERY frustrating! Good luck to you as well. I'm hoping we get BFP's VERY soon!!
Oh, gotcha! Ha. By the way, I love your new siggy!
Can't wait to meet my baby boy!
Thanks! I thought I'd put it there since we're approaching our 2 year anny! I'll probably change it after May.
I love this vent! if I could come up with some awesomesauce flame I would totally do it! Ya goof! You know you look good :P
I'm eyeing my third (yup!) giant chocolate cookie right now...
maybe we're both emotional eaters?
I would just like to add that girl scout cookies -- particularly samoas -- are evil. EVIL!
Evil, yet wonderful at the same time. *big fat sigh*
Dont EVEN get me started on GS cookies and the way I fat kid raged on them the other night...I dont even know how many I ate
Yowza! I have thin mints in the freezer!
::runs out of the nest::
LOL I'm so totally against GS cookies. You can not eat just one! Those things are so evil on my pants that I can't even look at the little girls when I go to the grocery store. I seriously divert to other stores that don't have the little midgets when it's GS cookie season. I swear they train those kids from birth.
First off, it's just wrong that they make girls sell the cookies. If those feckers were sold by pervy 40 yo men, I could resist. But when a little girl in a green vest comes and asks you if you want some Samoas so she can go to camp, how the hell do you say no? You can't.
I know some of you want to get pregnant, but I'd like to vent about the late stage. I feel extremely lucky to be pregnant, healthy, and with a healthy baby on the way. But I do not enjoy sleeping for only 2 hour stretches at night because I have to pee often, leg cramps, swollen feet, sciatica and horrible heartburn. I love my baby, but he needs to be prompt in his arrival. None of this wait 2 weeks after the due date nonsense.
And I'd like to give a big FU to my SIL. She's getting married in a month, and is basically making me and my other SIL throw her a bridal shower. Now, is she throwing me a baby shower? No. And her wedding is going to blow. She's having it at 4 pm, with the reception at 6 and isn't serving food. Just hors d'ouerves. I'm going to be 36 weeks pregnant. I can't not eat a real meal. Our bridal shower for her is classier than her damn wedding because we're serving food.
No food at the wedding! That does blow! How does she expect a pregnant lady to survive! I have to eat like every 2 hours or I'll pass out. And not giving you a shower!! This is me giving her the stink eye!!
My vent is working with high schoolers and them being complete idiots! If I tell you to sweep the floor I mean the whole floor not just where you are standing!!! Gosh, who raises these kids today!?!?!?
Twins run in my family, and I'm fascinated by multiples. I have been lurking on the multiples board recently as well as 1st tri....
I have been trying since Dec and just want a BFP already. I don't know how all you ladies go 12+ cycles!
