Confessions/Vents/Whatever

So I guess I might be being a PW tonight. But its been a long week and I need to vent.

One of the doctors I work for is a total a$$. I usually don't let him get to me, but this was the week from hell and I just want to cry. I think he's been doing his job too long and is ready to quit. He's a glass-completely-empty type personality. And he seems to want to take everyone down with him. His mood has just brought a lot of negativity to our area this week. Ahhhh!

Anyone else?

Re: Confessions/Vents/Whatever

  • I officially know someone who got married by proxy. She makes terrible choices in life. Both are military and she is telling everyone on fb that they are just engaged. Makes me feel better about my life.

  • T sneezes so loudly it makes me what to find a way to de-sneeze him.

    He also needs a hearing aid and he refuses to do anything about it.  He also still has a finger that's messed up from his last deployment and keeps putting off a visit to the VA to get the wheels turning on the surgery he needs to fix it.  But God forbid you bump it by accident because he'll complain about it for at least an hour.

    I work at a Jail and witnessed two 18-19yrs old get married last week through the glass visitation booth. no joke. I am pretty sure she is expecting as well. 

  • I understand that people are excited about my impending labor and delivery in hopefully a few days, but if one more person asks me "You haven't had that baby yet?" when they look straight at me and see that I obviously am still pregnant... I may just cry and yell.  Why ask when you can clearly see I Have NOT had the baby yet?

    Did she get married in Montana?

  • Mine is a vent, because I need to tell someone, anyone. 

    C is gone to school and I feel so overwhelmed right now.

    The baby went to his pediatrician,  he isn't developing his motor skills on time so she wants to get a MRI of his head. He has a hemangioma on the side of his face, she wants to see that with the MRI too. On top of that the hemangioma is blocking his ear hole so we are scheduled to see a pediatric surgeon.

    And hes allergic to peanuts.

    I can't wait for this school to be over.

  • My cousin texted me at 7 to see if I could babysit. I said yes and she told me just to come over when I was ready. I purposely got here after 8 so the baby would be in bed and I could just chill on the couch. I feel lazy.

    H leaves for a 10 day Det. in Yuma on Monday. 

    After the accident Wednesday night, I'm scared and nervous and don't want him to go.

    Then I realized that his squadron is set to deploy sometime next year and it made me realize that I don't think I can deal with a deployment to Afghanistan and I'm afraid I'm going to end up how I did during H's first deployment.  

    E did a Det. in Yuma for 2 months about 3 years ago and everything went just fine if that makes you feel better :)

    You'll get through it, you have done it twice before and it will all be okay. Hugs!

    You had another accident?  Didn't the last one happen this time last year as well?

  • H's deployment just got extended...again.  The first extension was just confirmed a week ago, and now they just added another 2 months onto it.  So what started as a 5 month deployment is now up to 9 months, and could still go longer.  It wouldn't be as frustrating if they hadn't just gotten back from their last deployment in the Spring.  So at this point when they get home they will have been home a total of about 5 months in that past 2 years, all in short increments.

    It's days like this that I really wish H wasn't career.

    And that I hadn't given up drinking for Lent.  Drinking my feelings with water isn't nearly the same.

    It was a double proxy. I feel like I just found a four leaf clover. It's like so rare!

    Hahaha thanks anyways!  Yeah I'm reallllyyy rethinking that one right now.  Hopefully if they do extend again they wait until after Lent is over to announce it.

  • My vent is that H is super cranky tonight since I didn't feel like driving 30 minutes to base to spend 30 minutes having dinner with him before I'd have to drive back in rush hour traffic to babysit. I told him we'd hang out once I got off but now that I'm home all he wants to do is play LoL with his friends.

    I also hate that seriously no one I've called today has picked up their phones.

    I completely understand. HUG

    My confession is that this deployment I haven't realy told many people he's gone, including friends. For whatever reason I just don't have the energy to say "Yes he's there" and then be asked "How are you?" Are you okay with him being gone? Oh that place is dangerous! You must be so worried! At least you don't have kids" and every other crappy comment/question. 

    My other confession is that I am just going to send the article to H. My words were SON OF A B!TCH when I saw the names. I don't even want to tell him. Two friends in a month of each other? F YOU universe.

    No you won't. This is a rough week for me too, but you'll let yourself get upset, and you'll be okay. I know you're tough, and if you need someone to lean on, you've got us! 

    I've seen a lot of military surprise homecomings. It wouldn't work on me. I always have my back to the corner and my face to the door. Looking for terrorists, criminals, various other threats, and husbands.
  • I don't want to take a shower today.  But I really need to.  If I do that means I would feel obligated to stop wearing sweatpants. I also really want to drive around the housing area to see if anything's opened up.  I have a feeling they will move us the same week my mom and cousin are visiting, and that would be hard.

    Very few people up untill the past few days knew H was gone.  Neither of us felt like dealing with all the questions.  Now because our friends from back home have tried calling him and can't reach him, they called me and pretty much everyone knows now.  We will probably do the same thing when he goes "forward" later this year.  (His unit calls it going forward, plus where he goes there is pretty much no danger)
