**Whine Wednesday**

no rhyme just a few lines to start the thread for you to whine...

Re: **Whine Wednesday**

  • I really don't have too much to complain about but since that is the point of this thread, here is mine.  Why can't DW find five minutes to talk? And why, when she does have five minutes is she always doing something else at the same time? I know things aren't easy for either of us right now but I would really love just a few minutes of catching up on life.

  • We are finalizing our wills today (I know, this should have been done long ago) and I have Jer as the executor (of course), but it makes me sad that I do not really have a "back up" if something happens to him.

    Picking my mom would not be wise, as she is older and my siblings are awful.  Well, my little bro isn't, but at 27 he has the maturity and responsiblity of a 9 year old.

    Le sigh....

  • I am so sick and tired of painting and updating our house to get ready to sell. I know it's not going to happen overnight, but I feel like we've missed the whole summer because we've been either at work, or inside working on the house. I know it will be worth it, but right now I can't see the end.

    Ang, I feel your pain. Right now I have one of my sisters as backup. However, based on what happened with my sibs when I was the executor of my mother's will I am leery about letting any one of them touch my affairs. Ugh. I didn't want to burden a friend with this, so I'm seriously thinking about making my attorney the backup instead. I shudder to think of the hissy fits my family would have when they find that out, but I guess since I'll be gone I won't know or care about that.

  • My family is just full of drama right now. 

    I haven't spoken to my Mom in weeks now b/c she's still mad that we didn't come over on the 4th of July.  The reason we didn't go over was because Stella was napping.  We were going to go when she woke up but my sister called and said they weren't waiting for us to eat b/c she wanted to take my niece to see the fireworks. 

    Things were ok for a while but then my parents refused to come have pics taken with my sister, niece and DH, Stella & I.  My parents deal with a lot with my sister but these pics were planned for weeks and they didn't come.  It hurt my feelings a lot.  I know I should be the bigger person and call her, but I'm not ready to be mature enough yet. 

    I'm so sick of the drama that I'd write them off completely if it weren't for Stella (there is a lot more stuff that has gone on in the past besides this to make me feel this way).  It pains me to think that she would grow up without knowing her grandparents.

  • I had an interview yesterday that I think went pretty well but now I'm second guessing it as I wait for the call.  I hate waiting for job calls! The thing is that this position is only 3 days a week which would work out really well with the baby and it's good money...we'll see.  They said I'd hear in a day or two-c'mon, call now!

  •   Laur-A.  My name is Laur-A.  Not Laur-IE or Laur-EN or Laur-EL or any other variation.  It's Laur-A.  I must say it fast on the phone because people are always botching it up for some reason.  Grrr.

  • Two - I am sorry you guys aren't connecting.  It will get easier.

    Labbie - thanks.  I might have my younger cousin as a backup.

  • Have I mentioned this before?  My pool is STILL leaking.  They have come three times to fix it and it is still leaking.  It wasn't cheap to put in, and I am getting pretty tired of measuring the loss everyday.

  • Two -I also feel your pain... my DH is just not a talker... about anything... its like pulling teeth to have any sort of conversation with him

     My whine - 

    Our toilet in the upstairs bathroom (DHs bathroom) has been running for weeks  - I keep trying to get DH to fix it, but he wont/doesnt/procrastinates/etc. Finally, we got our water bill in the mail (which I pay), and its $130! Its normally $45. Grrr.... Now DH is finally trying to fix the toilet, but apparently, our brand toilet is incredibly impossible to find parts for, and so instead DH is just going to buy a new toilet. 

    If this doesnt work TJ - Im going to try and have him call your hubby!

  • I'm taking a teacher centered class on a topic I have taught in the past and will probably teach again in the future but don't really have a background in it (hence the reason for taking the class).  Well this one woman completely insulted the class today.  She got into an argument about teaching to the test.  None of the people in the room were saying they did that, they were just saying they use questions from the regents as practice for students to get used to the style of questioning.  Well she went off on the class, spouting that she has 34 years of teaching experience and we don't know what we are doing.  It was really insulting and so an argument ensued and it was pretty nasty.  I have 2 more days of dealing with this woman.  It's sad too because the professors that are there to help us understand things better are great and this woman is ruining it all!  Sad to say she's the one in charge of the class (big surprise since she thinks she knows it all and has even interupted prof's during their lecture!)
  • Bentley (my puppy) has a lump on his leg. Could be a bug bite since bugs are fierce here in NOVA . Went to the vet today and was told it's either a bug bite or cancer. Well, isn't that lovely. So we're treating it for a week w/ an antibiotic in case it's a bite (it's right on the joint so an infection could be deadly since he's so small) and if it hasn't gone away, we need to do a biopsy...this sucks.
