Can we FF early?
I'd love a Flameless Friday right about.... NOW.
Re: Can we FF early?
1. Person who has info on my 'other' certification... I called you Monday. It is now Friday. You call back, finally. None too friendly. I felt like I was an annoyance to you. I'm amazed, truly amazed... Glad you could tell me you don't have a lot of time to deal with my issues. Um. nice. (but glad the lady who took my bloodwork was SUPERNICE!!! She more than overcompensated for your grumpiness AND even after I had fasted for 12 hrs.)
2. I think I only have that one... amazing...
Self - you're an idiot. You picked up the broken heating pad you needed to return instead of the working one. You actually thought, "Hmm, this is longer than I remembered" and yet still walked out the door with it. And since you already walked out the door without either once this morning, you were also late to work. Good job. Today is going to be interesting.
J - What is your deal? Is there a reason you've been mildly jerky lately? This isn't like you and it better stop or you're going to get it.
TGIF, ladies!
It's one of those weeks. . .
Dear self: Stop eating the treats at work. It's almost summer, and you're in a wedding, and you're sharing a lake house during the wedding week with 2 itty bitty girls, and you know you'll feel bad about yourself if you're not in good shape.
Dear N: You told me you'd call the vet on Tuesday. How did I know that you weren't going to remember? Call them. Please.
Dear Mom: I know you're busy too, but if you want me to help you put in a garden, you're going to have to make up your mind about top soil, truck rentals, etc. I did the research for you, but I can't do it all. Don't make all of my garden bed digging last weekend for nothing.
Dear Sister: I love you and your kids, but I have not had a free weekend since I moved here. I do not need pressure from you to watch them again so you can have a free weekend to get things done. You had one last weekend. I need to get things done, too. For myself, and our mother. Plusalso, I work 55 hours a week and commute another 8. You stay home with the kids. I don't feel sorry for you.
Gah.
Sweets that are in the house - can you kindly pick yourselves up and go to another house? I can't have you here...I have zero self control (though those cookies and dark chocolate Moose Munch were very delicious).
Co-worker - you do something new everyday that pisses me off. Congrats. Oh, and thanks for screwing over this month's issue and the rest of us just so you could reach your numbers at the very last second. Where were you during the rest of the month? Too little, too late, and I hope someone says something to you.
DH: I'm sorry I'm a hormonal emotional mess. I really can't help it. I don't know if you've noticed the fact that I am lonely, intellictually bored, frustrated with the crappy old house and your lack of motivation to fix it, and horribly horribly upset that I don't have a job and my career is shot.
I never wanted to put a 6 week old in daycare and we might have to b/c I'll have to get back to work promptly if we ever want to pay our way out of this sh!t hole of a house. My job loss has cost us $16k already. the plan was for me to take 6 months after the baby - but we can't afford that now - and it is my fault b/c I am the one who doesn't have a job.
Yes - I cried when we were talking (OK - you were yelling at me) about the electrical stuff. I am always on the edge of losing it - and that just pushed me over the edge.
TTC #1 13 cycles, CP 6/09, TTC #2 1 cycle
CDing, EP'd for 13 months for #1, BFing for #2
Pregnancy Hypertension - inductions at 39w, I grow big babies: DD was 9 pounds 1 ounce 22 inches, DS was 11 pounds even 22 inches - both vaginal deliveries
Dear co-worker,
You are older than me by almost 2 years yet you are one of the most immature people I know. Why must you take your crappy attitude out on the people you work wtih. D, G, and I do NOT deserve the way that you treat us and it HAS to stop! On top of having the world's worst attitude you are also LAZY!!!! You don't do anything! You leave client relations up in the air for others to finish and then when you actually DO have to finish something you get pissed off! What is wrong with you! You need to shape up because this sh!t will not fly for long. . promise!
Whew. . .that was nice.
big hugs to you sweetie, hang in there!
Body - Get.your.***.together.NOW!!!!!! WTF is wrong with you and why in the hell do you think it's ok to do this to me. I have gone through far too much with you in the last year and you aren't doing me any favors so get your act together and get on with it already.
D - I don't give a flyin flip if you worked a whole 12 hour day. I do it all the time, so do a lot of other people. But heaven forbid if you should have to actually wake up before 10 and work after 3. Get over it. Noone cares and noone feels sorry for your lazy ass. And the reason you are tired? Is because for the last three weeks you have been up until way past 2 am playing ps3. You are a joke. I love you but I don't want to hear how tired you are and how hard you have worked one more time. If I do, I will wish my kidney stones to jump in your pee hole and make you feel like you are dying.
That is all.
This made me crack up!
Dearest Husband: I know that this is going to come at a seemingly bad time what with your work deadline and having to work all weekend/overtime this week and next. I'm really sorry about it.
BUT, here goes....I've tried picking up after you. I've tried not picking up after you. I've asked nicely. I explained to you that when you ask me if I need "help" with things, that sounds to me like you are doing me a "favor" by "helping" with things that you consider to be my job (i.e. laundry, dishes, etc.). I don't want you to "help". I want you to put on your big boy pants and notice that d@mn trash needs to go out without me asking or that the dishwasher needs to be unloaded. Or heaven forbid wash laundry that's not 2 weeks worth of your clothes that have been piled up ON THE BEDROOM AND BATHROOM FLOOR. Given the fact that I am only getting bigger and we have 3 more months of this pregnancy thing to go in addition the fact that I have started suffering back pain...DO YOUR PART, MAN.
Your loving wife and mother of your unborn child.
