Getting the board moving some!
My coworker incessantly eats fireballs all day long. It starts as soon as she gets in in the morning. And then she proceeds to crunch them ridiculously loudly.
Seriously I'm not sure I can take this much longer. It's day in and day out all flipping day long!!! I don't know how she hasn't burned a hole in her mouth or her teeth haven't all broken with the way she chomps on these. It's like she is eating nails! And she eats them one after the other...sometimes it sounds like she is opening another one and putting it in her mouth while she already has 1 in there.
Headphones only help so much and I hate having them on all the time.

Re: Vents
I am sick of the things I love being discontinued or changed. My foundation was reformulated and is now terrible. I have spent months getting different foundation samples and have tried like 25 different ones and none work like my old foundation. Makes me so sad!!
And my favorite soda is no longer being sold in my area. I stocked up inthe last 6 cases months ago and have been slowly using it. I'm done now and it makes me sad. Nothing is the same (pepsi one with all Splenda). I hate full sugar soda and diet soda. The only thing close is pepsi next with some Splenda but still is part regular sugar and it's not the same. Ugh!!
flame worthy vent- I hate teacher appreciation week. :-O it isn't that I don't appreciate EJ's teacher, but this year with the overlap between daycare and kindergarten it is too much. And when I am overwhelmed with obligation I don't want to do anything. Plus it is the end of the school year and I am losing my resolve to keep on top of all of these things.
And is it terrible I had no idea it's teacher appreciation week?! I can't keep up with all this stuff. I have been completely swamped lately with multiple OOT guests, dd's sports and getting ready for dd's multiple bday parties and again multiple OOT guests!!
My only vent is that I'm tired and I suck at going to bed early. I'm also ready for more shows to have their season finales because I hate feeling like a slave to the DVR. Especially when I should be going to bed early...
Yes. First world problems over here. :-)
I also hate teacher appreciation week. (Sorry teachers!)
I am anonoyed with everything lately... I feel so negative!
I complain that I am lonely and miss friends, but when they make plans I find excuses because it's messing with my comfortable routine of relaxing/watching TV after my kids are asleep.
Talking to dh is like talking to a wall...seriously. 5 times this week he couldn't remember things that we talked about less than 24 hours ago. It's not major stuff, but he will ask me something and I'm just like "are you kidding me?!?! We had this same conversation yesterday! You were looking right at me as I spoke!"I am just so annoyed. Our anniversary was yesterday and I couldn't think of anything that wasn't snarky to write in the card. So I just signed my name.
I don't have the overlap but the whole doing something for all the daycare annoys me. Madi has a great teacher and sure appreciate her but last 2 years sent in drink stuff and then others send too and they have enough for months to come. Think I will use new baby as an excuse this year.
I ordered a sandwhich from our cafeteria for lunch, and asked for a dill pickle. They gave me a sweet pickle. WTF!!!
We don't have any overlap for Teacher's Appreciation week - someone organizes a breakfast and lunch + staff gift for all of the teachers. I just contribute money, which I don't mind since it takes little effort. Along the same lines though...I contribute to gifts for Admin Professional Day and Boss's Day...when is it regular employee day?
My lips got sunburned over the weekend, it's annoying.
and I'm frustrated that the world clearly doesn't not cater to kids with narrow feet. Things would be so easy if my kids had chubby feet. I'm looking for a good quality, closed toe, water safe sandal for dd. I ordered a pair from pediped and they are SO wide. If I go down a size they will likely be to short. It's stinks because they are adorable.
I was going to write this too. Dd had really chubby feet and I could only get her specific styles and in wide widths. Even some wide widths wouldn't fit. I think I may have even found some extra wides at stride rite. I had to shop at SR most of the time to find anything to work. I guess you only luck out with normal size feet!
