Vents, anyone?

I am so irritated, DH's weekend trip to Telluride is now going to be Tuesday through Sunday due to weather conditions.  It is going to be a loooong week.

Anyone else have a vent to share?

My family sucks and totally forgot that my daughter existed.  They all planned vacations right around her birthday so now I have to decide who will miss her party...a set of grandparents and an aunt/uncle/2 cousins or 2 aunts and an uncle...or I have to postpone it a month.  I'm hurt and pissed. 

This isn't the first time, my brother who is her godfather forgot to get her something for Christmas...they ran to Target last minute and grabbed some clothing for her.  Not to sound ungrateful, but the clothing was ugly and the wrong size!  They bought long sleeve 12 month clothing for a then 5 month old.

x-H "forgot" that I am getting the girls this weekend and now says that they have plans.  I have only seen them for 5 hours in the past 4 weeks and I miss them!  Technically I can make them come to my house because that's my right according to our orders, but the girls probably really want to go to Schlitterbahn with their cousins.

DH keeps moving my car.  I park it in the driveway outside the gate so the kids can ride their bikes inside the gate and have more room because they can use the garage.  Every damn time I go to get my car he has moved it into the garage.  It pisses me off!  I don't move his car.  In fact, I could care less where he car is.  Because of our set up, if I go out the front door to get my car and he has moved it, I have to go back in the house and out another door.  It's a real PITA when I'm trying to drag 2 kids with me.  I keep asking him to leave me car alone and he won't listen.  Today I backed into the gate because he moved my damn car and then put the trash can where I had to back around it.  Don't move my car!!!!  Leave it where I left it...

DH went to a boys weekend at the river last week and to a concert with the guys on Saturday. I told him that I wanted to have a girl's night and he could stay home when he promptly reminded me that this weekend is my birthday so we could plan something for Saturday. Hmmm....not the same thing.

I have a problem that my step-brother, he didn't even bother to call my step-dad on father's day.  He is so self-absorbed that he couldn't picked up the phone and call his own father, who by the was is having an angioplasty on Thursday.  If it's bad enough the doctor has an OR scheduled to "maybe" start a bypass right then and there.  I think my step-bro is acting like a douche, but that's no different than the way he acts a lot of the time.  When he and his wife and their two kids showed up on my birthday, he walks into the house and he ask me if the chicken spaghetti was ready.  Not happy birthday, there was no present, just is the cheesy chicken spaghetti ready?  He ate 4 bowls and a piece of cake and they left 2 hours later.

It is so ridiculously HOT outside.  I'm tired of summer weather and it's only June.  Rain or cool off already!  I'm never going to make it til October - UGH.

My MIL still has refused to commit to a name that my kids can call her, so to "them"  she is still Mrs. First Name.  Just unbelievable.  It's been 3 years!  Not only that, but she refuses to acknowledge that my kids call my FIL a different name than their cousins (my SIL's kids) do.  She put up a FB message yesterday that said something like "he is the best friend, husband, dad, and Papa ever."  I wanted to put on there, "My kids think he's a pretty good POPS too!"  Sheesh.

I am going to the board of appeals in my city to request a variance in order to obtain a permit for a tiny storage shed (less than 100 sq. ft). The whole process has been a huge headache, the people have been less than helpful/sometimes downright rude or inappropriate, and I'm scared they will deny our variance tomorrow and we'll be back at square one. I really don't understand how it could be necessary to pour a permanant concrete foundation for a portable building. MAKES NO SENSE, and it's gotten so expensive to build to code that I think I could have added an extra room to my house for almost the same cost.

I don't like my 3.5 year old at all today and wish I could drop her off at summer school or something.  Her attitude stinks and it has made mine stink too!

This was me with Abbie yesterday!  I finally made her go sit in her room for an hour because she was miserable to be around and was making me miserable to be around too.  Thankfully she woke up on the sunny side of life this morning.

A second vent: if you are leading a tour of the Children's Museum and children are included on the tour, don't showup 25 minutes late.

I am miserable at this job. I hate it. I'm in a crappy position because I have the leftover markets that haven't been touched in over a year. I am in desperate need of a new job and am totally lost on what to do. I just know that I'm not happy, it shows at home and I have no direction to go. Any marketing or sales jobs or communications jobs out there...let me know. I felt this way when I left my old job but thought it would change. But I feel again that I want to change industries...not just jobs. And this time I'm going to do what I way not what I have to do.

I agree! I am trying to plan my trip back up to MI next month while DH is away on a business trip but don't want to board the pup.

IMO the security in DH's position flew out the window this morning. I am a mess today and a nervous wreck. What's worse is that since we work for the same company I know but I am not sure that he knows and I don't want to have to tell him.

The terrible 2's were out in full force yesterday. It's like he was possessed by a demon! After 30 or 45 minutes of thrashing, crying, whining, screaming, he laid his head on me and fell asleep for about five minutes. Then it was like nothing ever happened, and he was back to normal.

I felt so bad for my husband because it really put a damper on our Father's Day. And it made me really dread the next couple of weeks of traveling. If he pulls something like that when we are driving or flying, I will lose it! I am bringing lots of tasty treats and toys to bribe him like he's never been bribed before.

Our trip to San Antonio with another family was great other than the 106 degree weather on Saturday at Seaworld.  It was MISERABLE.  The lines were so long for anything that had shade, water, or a/c.  You could walk right up to a roller coaster but my kids were too little and it was just too hot.  It was not a fun day.  However, cooling off with a bunch of margaritas on the riverwalk that night made it much better.

The tension in my hallway at work is thick.  I have never seen work drama like the drama we've had up here for the last couple of weeks. So glad I am not involved.

Things annoying me today:1.) People who squat in public restrooms. By squatting, you get the seat dirty therefore making other people squat and the vicious cycle continues. 2.) People who make like 10 changes to a menu item and then complain about their order being wrong.3.) The jar of candy three feet away from my desk that is taunting me.

Having a baby away from family when you already have a kid is really hard. We have plans to drop DD at a friend's house if I go into labor during the day, but we still don't really have a plan for if I go in to labor in the middle of the night, or close to DD's bedtime. I'm sure one of my friends would be willing to come and sleep in our guest room while we went to the hospital, but I hate to ask someone with kids of their own to do that. And I know if we woke DD up and tried to put her back to sleep at someone else's house and then left, she'd flip.

I just really hope I make it to my scheduled c-section on the 30th, since my mom is flying in on the afternoon of the 29th. Heck, as long as I make it to the 29th, we're good. I'm having contractions like crazy though, which is making me quite nervous.

Stressing about the situation probably isn't really helping either

My company switched insurance carriers as of June 1st.  It's a pain in my ass. 
I really need to get it all straightened out before I have this baby and I don't want to deal with it. 

My dr's office called me a little while ago to let me know that it looks like I owe them an additional $507.  Is it the end of the world?  No.  But it is annoying as hell.

THANK YOU!!!!

Someone at my office actually pee'd not only all over the toilet seat on Friday, but on the friggin' floor.  I turned around & walked out the door to make sure I had gone in the women's rest room.

DH's job sucks right now. He's got too much to do, too little time to do it in and the work just keeps coming. He's ridiculously stressed out, which stresses me out. Not to mention the fact that he's working crazy crappy hours trying to get it finished, which means he's not around to spend time with the boys, which leaves me home alone all.the.time with them which makes me a cranky biotch because I have to do everything myself, etc etc etc.

It's so stressful and I miss having my husband around.. the nice, fun to be around one, not the stressed cranky one that comes home these days.

We are living the same life. It sucks.

i really hate when people take a dumb crappy picture and think that by applying some hipstamatic/instamatic/camera phone app effect to it, it suddenly becomes some awesome noteworthy picture.  furthermore, cell phone pictures are ruining our kids' futures!  they will have no memories of their childhood becuase one day your phone will die and all the crappy cell phone pics will be gone.

CindyandScott - why wouldn't you tell your husband about the security of his job?  Is it confidential?  

 

kreeper - send me your resume.  If you are open to making a jump to an oilfield company, then I will forward it on to the groups within my company.  

 

My vent - I hate week-long trainings where all they give you is fatty food.  I was doing so well on my diet, and now I'm off the reservation.  Again.  Damn the man!!! 

michellebelle

I have a key colleague who resigned today. i was hoping she would provide interim coverage for my immigration issues if i take an interim role as team lead for our new erp implementation. and she is one of the only people at work i can vent to. i'm so sad.

sarasparks

Oh wait - I have one more.  I am ready for my cousin to be gone.  After giving him a free place to stay for 1.5 years while he finishes school, he decided to give us the middle finger over the weekend.  He apparently had a couple of friends crash at our place while we were in Austin Saturday night, and managed to leave a wine stain on our couch, leave the door unlocked after he left on Sunday, leave trash around the house, throw my husband's clean laundry on the floor so that one of his friends could sleep in our guest room (aka laundry folding room), and lend out our electronics...all without asking.  (I suppose I would have said no had he asked if he could spill a glass of wine on the couch)  Needless to say the gravy train has come to an end.

Yes!  I sent you a FB message because I'm not sure if I have your email.

And ditto 100% about the bad training meeting food.

Add me to this list, except my DH's job is always like that. And add to that a cranky 3 year old who doesn't nap at school (she still needs a nap) and throws a huge fit everytime she needs to use the potty. She's been "trained" for 2 months now so this is getting really old.

MIL keeeps asking us to have C go spend the night at her house in her  full blown nursery.

I don't want to for a number of reasons.  So far DHhasnt tried to push it. I think he knows better.

1. We don't have anything planned that requires us going out of town
2. Say we just wanted a night out- we'd have to drive 45 minutes to drop C off to drive 45 minutes back home just to repeat the same thing the next day.
3. I don't want to kick my kid out of my house unless there is a reason. You wanting her at your house is not a reason.
4. I don't want to spend a day chained to my pump unless absolutely necessary. Again, just the reason of you want her at your house is not absolutely necessary.
