Yay! I was waiting for this today

Terrys buddy totally screwed him over yesterday. He lost his job recently and had been looking to sell his sea-doos. Well Terry had found someone that was interested in buying them(it was someone he works with) and told sean that since he was asking only $1500 to tell them he wanted $2000(they were looking to spend that much) and that he could have the $1500 he was asking for and Terry could have the remainder for finding someone to buy them. Well his buddy ended up selling them for $1900, but when Terry went over there to ask him about the money, he started complaining about how he just lost his job and all this other crap(mind you he lives at home with his fiance who has always footed the bill for him-he just got the job after being off for 4 years). So he didn't give Terry anything. We were going to use the money to buy a stove(we just moved into a place that has electric not gas). This is a guy who always asks Terry to help him with his truck or around the house and such, I guess Terry found out from a friend of theirs(it was his buddys fiance's brother) that the friend called him earlier that evening asking about Matt's new laptop. He told Matt how he sold his sea-doos but left out the part about screwing over Terry. I just think its crap that Terry has went out of his way to help this guy out so many times and then he goes and does this when if it wasn't for Terry, he wouldn't have been able to sell them at all!

I have a pretty bad headache and I want to go home. BUT it is a Friday of a holiday weekend and it would look really bad.

We're taking FIL to the Mud Hens game on Saturday night and I don't really want to go... we're going out to dinner before, too, at freakin' 4:30. This is actually his birthday gift from May and we've tried to take him a million times and he was aaaalways busy (including last night) and now, he said Saturday, so we're going and I looked at tickets last night and the game was almost sold out, so now, we're sitting way up in the second level in the outfield, in the sun, when it's supposed to be like 85. I also don't want to give up our Saturday night for it. I LOVE the Mud Hens and baseball - I just wish it was some other night so we could hang out with our friends.

I'm trying really hard to not pay attention to anything TTC related. I'm doing pretty well and it helps a ton not temping every morning, but it is so difficult to get it totally out of my head.

I'm so frustrated with someone I'm working with on a project right now. The person never responds to emails in a timely manner--if they respond at all! And when they do respond, they always forget to cc the other person on the project and it causes confusion--it's called "Reply All." It's not that difficult. I'm pretty sure your Iphone has that function. And then they always say they can get stuff done today or by end of tomorrow, and I now know I might as well just tack on another day or two because it always takes twice as long as they say it will. AND there are ALWAYS glaring stupid mistakes. The kind of mistakes that are made just because someone is rushing through it and not proofing their own work. I could probably add up a pretty good amount of time that I'm billling that is just due to correcting mistakes and going back to something we already did because it wasn't done right the first time!

And I'm supposed to be project managing this person!!!! HTF am I supposed to do this?

My sister moved to Texas last year, right before our wedding. She totally screwed me by forgetting to get her dress sized and taking it with her so she wasn't in the wedding. She didn't come up for my baby shower and hasn't even me my son(or our cousin's little boy) yet. She is always asking my parents for money and they, of course, give in every time. She hasn't been home in over a year so my mom bought her a plane ticket to come home. Now, my mom watches TJ every Wednesday and Friday. My sister will be staying at my parents house. I dont even talk to my sister at this point(because of everything, even though my mom trys to make excuses for her of why she has done the things she has done), and I am very uncomfortable having him over there with her there. I already told my mom that she IS NOT to leave him alone with her. Not that she will harm him, but she has NO baby experience and he doesn't know her at all. She kind of rolled her eyes at me when I told her this, but I am dead serious. I'm at the point where I feel like I need to ask my other sitter to watch him instead of my parents. Is this wrong? I know shes my sister but at this point she is so self absorbed and so far up her bf's butt that she only cares for herself and I dont want my son around that. Any thoughts?

nbecker2284 · July 2010

I know TJ isn't even 6 months old yet but I swear I am totally BOTB! A couple of our friends have had new babies and its making me miss being pregnant and having a little baby. We plan on waiting a few years to have one more(it will be our last one) but I can't help but be baby crazy! If I knew I could support a lot of children, I would probably have a HUGE family lol.

Our patio out back looks like the m-fing JUNGLE right now and I hate it! It's cinder blocks and every single crack has like a foot-tall weed sticking out of it. I told DH a long time ago that we needed to deal with it, but he kept putting it off, so now it's out of control and he's complaining about it. Suck it up and do it already, dude!

To add a confession to my complaint... I'm telling him to just suck it up and do it, but I do the same type of crap all the time. I always seem to procrastinate and let stuff get out of control.

MonkeySender · July 2010

I haven't taken a shower yet today and I have already been out and took the dogs to the vet. Zoey has anxiety issues and I knew she would shed like crazy and I didn't feel like taking a shower this morning so I didn't I probably won't til right before DH gets home and only then because we are going to a cookout at his bosses house tonight.

I hate it that there are so many pregnant people all around me, people who probably shouldn't be having more kids right now given their situations, and that we're being responsible and not TTC now (if ever!) because it's not financially smart at this point in time. Few things annoy me more than irresponsible behavior.

Ditto. There is someone very close to me in this situation. I think I'm going to have a hard time dealing with it very soon too. Probably a little bit of what you were saying combined with the fact that I thought I would be having a baby this summer, too. I don't want to let that keep bothering me, but I can't help it. We waited a long time to have stable jobs, finances and to be ourselves for a long time and it seems very unfair that now that we are ready it's taking a long time to work out when other people can be totally irresponsible and have no trouble at all.

CrimsonStar · July 2010

Made plans to go out w/a friend tonight that I would like to break since all last weekend and last night I spent away/out. I'd rather do something w/DH.

Also related to above friend - we're going to a gallery show tonight. When did she become interested in going to galleries? I've asked her several times in the past couple years to go to the museum etc and she says, No call me when you're done. Sometimes I think, Who is this person?? She's completely changed due to her bf.

I feel guilty that my fear of motorcycles has come back full force. Not of the motorcycles themselves, but of everything that can go wrong involving a motorcycle. This is the one thing that DH really enjoys doing and I feel like I'm keeping it from him because I'm a nervous wreck when he's out too long on his.

To remedy this, though, I'm on a mission to find something that will occupy me on Wednesday nights for the remainder of the summer...or until bike night season is over. If I'm not sitting at home by myself while he's out on his bike, all I'm going to do is worry, so I need to find something to keep me busy those nights.

I agree with you on this. Given where I work I see this frequently. Just yesterday, came across a younger women in the hall, on her way out to or just back from a smoke break, pack of marlboro reds in her hand, looking rather worn. She was there visiting her one triplet still in the hospital.

CrimsonStar · July 2010

I feel guilty about letting my temper get the better of me last weekend. A random douchey guy made a comment to me, and I retaliated w/a comment. I was fired up and couldn't control what I said. I feel like he needed to be put in his place; aside from him, the other guys in his group were cool. I've been trying to work on what I say and it's not going very well.

This bugs me more than anything. I guess it is one thing to ooops, but when you are actually TTC knowing you cannot even afford thing for yourselves let alone a baby is kind of selfishish (is that a word, hmmm, i like it, sefishish).

I need to lose weight, I know this. What I do not need is nasty trashy people openly making fun of me in public. I dont turn to my children and say "My there sure are some trashy people in this hospital today." What ever happend to "if you can't say anything nice don't say anything at all"? It really irritated and upset me. I am self conscious enough as it is without nasty mean and rude people makeing it worse.

I seriously wish people would stay out of my life and stop spreading rumors about me. One of my old co-workers works with J's cousin and she is telling his cousin how I always said bad things about him, how I always cheated on him and a TON of lies. Of course he is also telling people that I cheated, which I never did. I may have made some poor decisions about bringing old friends back into my life, but I could never cheat. I wish his friends would leave our situation alone and let him and I work things out. He is so influenced by what other people say that everything we agreed upon when he moved out is no longer happening and I'm the one who keeps getting screwed over. I just want to be done with all this and move on with my life. I'm sick of him accusing me of cheating when I waited 6 weeks to tell a male friend he moved out when he started talking to some new girl the night he moved. I'm so done with all this.

MrsJoey · July 2010
