Win/Whine Wednesday

Just trying to hear from anyone on here. An entire 24 hours has gone by with no comments, so I thought I needed to start something.

Win- We are finally getting the hang of living on our own.

Whine- I wish there was a law that prohibited holidays from starting publicly more than a month in advance of a holiday. I do like Christmas, but not when it starts in October. When your favorite holiday gets overshadowed by the next one, by a month, it just seems so... I don't even know... frustrating, saddening, and disappointing.

    Agreed.  I don't mind so much that it starts more than a month ahead, but that at least here in the US Thanksgiving is considered a major holiday.  So Christmas shouldn't start until after Thanksgiving has passed.

  • Win- I passed my Elementary Education Content Knowledge tests yesterday. They were so hard I was sure I failed them. The majority of the questions were for 4th grade - 6th. We don't teach that stuff in 2nd grade!

    Whine- I hate paperwork. I have so much to do, applications to fill out, etc. If I have trouble and call the business I feel like they get me more confused. I'm also upset people don't notify me when changes occur. It is so maddening.

  • I don't have either because my wins and whines could go either way.

    Win and whine- in WA for work.
  • I agree with your holidays point. It got worse today because it's starting to snow here and every one suddenly went Christmas crazy. I LOVE Thanksgiving and hate that it gets ignored.

    Win: finally got a chance to do laundry. The washer and dryers in my apartment building have been taken up the past few days.

    Whine: did something to my knee today and now it's sore. Not sure what. Walking up and down the stairs doing laundry probably didn't help.

     01.21.2012---> I married a redhead I'm crazy about.

    04.2016: IT'S A BOY! Elias Alan is due!

    WDW trips: 05/14 (1st trip! Art of Animation; Little Mermaid), 05/15 (Pop Century!). DL Trips: 12/15


      

  • Win- I got a PD day with ladies from work.  It was a nice lunch and breakfast.

    Whine- My back is killing me.  I need a massage seriously. 
  • My back is killing me too. I hope your's feels better soon. I'm probably going to have to wait until my BIL comes back from grad school, because he is amazing at cracking it and making it perfect.

  • Thanks. It is feeling better today.

    How is yours feeling?
  • Better. I think I need a new pillow. Or less stress. Because it was really good last night, and now I'm sore again.
