Re: FFF
1. I'm really annoyed with DH. He won't ever agree to stay home on a Friday or Saturday night. He still thinks he is in college and wants to party. Ugh...grow up you are 31...we can stay home and watch a movie. It would definitely not be like this if his friends (the ones who aren't married and still out doing crazy crap) didn't condemn him for staying home. We also don't have the money right now for that.
2. I'm so bored with this nanny job. I'm done next Friday and it's great to get to sleep until 830 every day, but it's boringgggggggg. I'm allowed to take him out places, but there isn't a lot a 3 month old can do. I'm sure I'll appreciate it when I'm back at my big kid job, but I dread work every day.
I can't stand that the women from my church want me to plan an Ikea trip because they've never been (older crowd) and then they all come up with other obligations that they can't change, so I'm left with a group of 5 and have a feeling it's going to be awkward.
I don't NEED to go to Ikea again, I can go on my own and have more fun. I reschedule it already and I refuse to cancel this time. I'm just going to suffer through.
DH is a paid organist and I love the denomination of church but I want a church with more social aspects. With people who actually do things together as a church group, women who commit to going out and stick with it, and more couples our age.
I always need to go to Ikea. I'm just not allowed. I'll spend too much anyways.
That's my rant. DH won't let me go to Ikea because they make modular homes in Sweden. He works for a modular home builder here (not double wides), and sees them as competition. It makes me sad, I love Ikea.
Apologies in advance because this is long.
I have two older sisters....sister S is 33 and sister B is 31 and I am 27. Sister S had a long three year battle with infertility that led to two failed rounds of IVF but a third round that resulted in my beautiful niece. When she was trying sister B and I agreed that regardless of what happens in our lives we would wait to have children until sister S had her baby in her arms. Two years later sister B had my gorgeous nephew...she also had some fertility problems but nothing huge. I told her I would wait until she had her child before DH and I would ever consider trying. Well Dh and I have now been trying for a year. Both sisters are very well aware of this and they also both know about my m/c in December. Sister B called me last week to let me know they're trying for baby #2. I'm heart broken and can't even tell her. It's not up to me when they have a baby but really? I don't want to be selfish which is why I don't voice these opinions to anyone but DH, still it hurts.
I have two facebook friends from college that are annoying to me. One is such an AW that it just makes me dislike her--like she never updates if she's doing regular things--she'll only update when it something she thinks OTHER people will envy. The other is a person that's just never happy--if it's been a ridiculously hot week and then one day its beautiful and cool, she'll be like "what the heck is this? Nice weather??" as if she's spiteful for a break in sweating her butt off. or often comments "WHY ME?" as if she's the only one in the world that ever has any sort of drama in her life.
That's all I can remember at moment.
I have this friend that won't leave me alone. I like her, but only in small doses. Her fiance recently just left her. I read somewhere recently that if you've been divorced once or twice it might still be the other person's fault, but if it's been three or more times maybe it's you. This guy is the third person to abandon her. First was a husband, second was a fiance and now another fiance just up and left. Every time I talk to her I want to point this out...
Also, she was rear ended in June and has been complaining about being hurt every since. The day of the accident she went to the hospital and they sent her home with some muscle relaxers. That wasn't good enough and she's spent something like six weeks now going to different specialists in hopes of "finding out what is wrong" with her.
And! AND! She continuously compares her accident with mine last year where I spent two nights in ICU and some of that in a medically induced coma. It makes me want to cut her and give her something to complain about.
This makes me mad and I don't even know the girl!
I stopped @ Trader Joes on my way home from work the other day to get some olives and I left with close to $50 in sandwich materials.
That's not necessarily the FFF part...
While I was there, a 2 or 3 year old kid was sitting in this stroller screaming his head off and it was the most annoying thing I'd ever heard. It wasn't just a constant scream... that would have been better. He would let out these 4 second banshee screaches that were so high pitched... I already had a headache, I was nauseus, I was in a shiitty mood. I *really* wanted to yell at him from across the store to just STFU.
I felt pretty bad for thinking that way... but if it were my kid I probably would have just taken him outside and let him scream his little head off until he wore himself out.
