Hump Day Say Anything
What's on your mind?
Re: Hump Day Say Anything
Wow, my siggie finally updated after a week of trying!
So DH is usually the techie in our relationship so I rely on him to research everything we get. So he was the one who suggested we get the Samsung Smart TV and the Samsung 3D Blu Ray Player. Well we got two new 3D Blu Ray movies for Christmas and they don't work. DH took back the one he bought yesterday and we go to test it out last night and it doesn't work. So I start googling stuff and discover that apparently Samsung is very behind on the Blu Ray updates and a lot of new Blu Rays (esp. Sony) do not work on them. Great! Plus I already pre-ordered 2 new movies which are also Sony.
My one friend and I need to plan our best friend's shower and bachelorette party like now. The shower is in 2 months and I can't even get the other friend to focus on invites. She's impossible to get a hold of so I try to email her the ideas and all I get back is "oh that's great, I'll write more when I get a chance". A lot of the guests are coming from out of town so we really need to get invites out soon. Plus friend insisted we have the shower at her mom's house so I'm stressing that stuff will be screwed up b/c she's so all over the place.
I wish I could get one decent picture of both dogs together!
I have a friend/roommate from college and after we graduated, we became really close. We exchanged dozens of emails per week and that was mainly how we kept in touch. She was in my wedding. After DS was born, we just fell out of touch. We still exchange an email once a month or so, but I'm just not sure why we drifted apart. I'm not particularly sad about it, and that kind of makes me sad. I don't have a lot of friends.
DS is having a REALLY bratty week. He's getting really defiant and DH and I aren't sure how to handle it. I yelled at him a lot the other day and I feel bad about it. I don't want to be a yeller. I need to find a better approach and I want to slap myself when stuff like "what did I just tell you?!" comes out of my mouth.
ETA: I am REALLY sick of the siggy issues TN/TB is having. This has been going on for over a month! As a software developer, I think there is no reason why someone shouldn't have fixed this bug by now.

I just updated something again and it's not showing... Ugh.
Me too, I changed my siggy pic yesterday and it's not showing. I saved it like a dozen times yesterday and today.

I quit trying to update my siggy. I guess you'll guys will just have to look at these pictures forever!
I'm so sick of my crazy @ss neighbor and her confronting us every chance she gets. Yesterday she decided when her mother was at work, she would confront us again because of the dogs. Yesterday they were outside at 5:45 a.m. and were barking for maybe 10 seconds before DH brought them in. As DH was going outside to start our vehicles she tries to confront him about the dogs. He tries to ignore her, because he hates being late to work. Well for 10 minutes she's out there stating that our dogs bark when we leave for the day from 6:30-7:00 a.m. and that they wake her up. It's before quiet hour is over, blah blah. I know they howl in the morning because they are upset that we leave them, but I can't really do much about it. They are gated in our kitchen and I WILL NOT CRATE them because of HER!
Maybe she get rid of her SIX FLUCKING DOGS! Maybe what she is hearing is her DOGS!!! Anyway, back to the story, DH told her if she or her mother has a problem to have her mother talk to him. Seeing that she is not the homeowner, she has no right to talk to us. Well that put her over the edge and she started to come toward my car, when I told her if she got a JOB like the rest of society that she would be leaving for work, and would not hear the dogs. She came to the property line and basically got in DH face. He told her to back to F up and if she didn't he was calling the police. This woman scare the sh!t out of me! My other neighbors know the problems we are having and they all watch me now, but why should of feel threaten to go home at night??? DH and I get home about the same time, I just worry about those other times he is gone and I'm home alone with just the girls.
Our solution for the howling are kongs with frozen peanut butter. When I left them this morning in the kitchen they were not howling or barking. I just hope that Roscoe doesn't do anything stupid like try to eat the entire kong.
DD is going through the same thing! I really hope this is a phase, since I've found myself yelling more and more.
It gets really frustrating to tell him the same thing over and over and that's when I end up yelling. But seriously. No running on the couch FFS!

I'm beyond pleaseed with myself that DD let me brush her teeth this morning - with toothpaste even. Ugh - its gotten to be such a stressful struggle some days/nights that I'd started to stop even trying. and, then I'd feel guilty and like a terrible mother, etc. small victory for motherhood!
I'm currently sitting in a meeting with 3 women yelling at each other for abiut 45 minutes now regarding how hours are converted into working days. Its annoyingly frustrating that this simple concept of taking 8 hours and making it equal a working day cannot be grasped.
I hear ya, ladies. I find myself getting really easily irritated and though I try and remind myself that she's 20 months old and doesn't know any better, is testing her limits, etc I find myself losing my cool more often than I should. This too shall pass??
Someone's getting a little brother!

It better, lol!! I know it's par for the course at this age, they're supposed to act out and test us, but what's so frustrating is that he DOES know better for a lot of these things. Sigh.
