Let's Whine.
Please, I really just want to whine today. I feel so icky. If every one whines I won't feel so bad about whining.. so WHINE AWAY!!!
Re: Let's Whine.
Well, I'll go first. Who knows when anyone will be on the board.
I feel like crap today, honestly, I've felt like crap for a few weeks. My nose has been runny and weird for the last few weeks. I don't know if it's allergies or what. I've never had allergy issues before.
I have a headache, that will.not.quit.
I am supposed to go out w/ my local nest board (WCF) tonight to Dragqueen Bingo and dinner- but I can't. I have so much homework. I feel bad because I can't go out, but I really can not go out tonight. My cousin & her husband came over to the house last night (i didn't know till yesterday morning they were coming, they are here from NC - they just moved from Cali to NC ---he's a marine so they are stationed in NC now..anyways) so they are only here for a few days and last night was the only day they could come.
saturday night chris' family is coming over and staying the night, then sunday i am running in a 1mile fun run w/ one of the WCF girls.. that's to many nights of missed homework. i am SO lame.
I'm so freakin' bloated right now, ew. I changed clothes 4 times this morning. man i wish we were seeing patients today so i could have worn scrubs, that would have been nice.
okay. that's all the whines I got- for now.
It's good to have this board so we can just vent when we need to. I am in the same boat as you as far as feeling a little sickly. I just have a stuffy nose and sinuses that I can't seem to get rid of. I never used to have allergy trouble, but they say you can develop it as you get older. Maybe that's my problem?
I'm frustrated that no matter how much I try to clean or get ahead on cooking or yard work or farm stuff (pretty much whatever) I always feel behind. Grr. Why do some people manage to have lovely clean homes and yard and I just can't do it?
On another note, I know I'm lucky to have a home and a kitchen with food, and a yard, but that doesn't stop it from getting overwhelming sometimes! Hope you all have a great day ladies.
I'm feeling icky too! I was so neausous last night all I wanted to do was puke and I couldn't! Of course the first works out of my mothers mouth when I said that are are you pregnant? Nope and I don't plan on it either.
I am tired of not having any money. We are used to having things we need and splurging here and there, but it is worse then it usually is. And this is only because my IL's screwed us up with money this month. I am just so tired of it. I know soon we will be back to normal and have more money rolling in but as of right now we are trying to figure out how to pay bills. It just sucks. It was so bad we litterally only had $40 in the bank until this past Friday, but now that is practically gone because bills are due. UGH!
I really hope DH gets hired at orientation on November 1st (holy cow that is less then a week away). The good thing is that everyone says he will be picked up right away because he has the "look" a lot of agencies are going for for undercover. I hope they are right about that. The bonus would be if he got picked up by an agency who will pay him through his training. That would just be awsome.
I am just so used to being dealt a bad hand when it comes to work (being blackballed by school district, being unemployed for a year, having the university I have my masters through be under investigation for fraud, etc) that it would be nice if just once something were to go right.
I also cannot wait for DH's lawsuit to be finalized. He should be getting a pension from the Army and full medical due to the fact that they wrongfully discharged him, as well as thousands of others. Not only that he should be receiving disability for his knee and they are trying to get out of paying for his knee (he was shot and has not cartilage or anything).
I'm just ready for something to go our way!
Ok, I'm done whining for now.
Thank you thank you for starting a whine thread. I feel like that is all I am doing lately.
I am tired of being pregnant. I am so glad that we are having a baby but I am done. Get this kid outta me. I have been very lucky to have so few problems (only a couple instances of elevated bp) but it is just so invasive. We moved to the house and DH has had to pick up SO much slack because I have been instructed to relax and stay off my feet, no cooking, no cleaning, etc. I feel horrible about this because in addition to all the extra work of having a house and caring for it, he has also been working every other weekend, so he basically never gets a break.
I know everyone is interested but I am tired of the texts from people about "where's my baby?"... DUDE if it were out, I would let you know. I pinky promise to keep you informed about whether or not the baby is here, but as an FYI, you can assume that it is not here if you have not heard anything from one of us.
I want to be done at work, but I am being stubborn and I won't just tell the dcotor to pull me because I really SHOULD just work until my due date, like I have been saying all along and if I was at home, I would just be sitting on my duff anyways, but I am having a tough time sleeping and I just want to wear sweats for the next hundred years. I am an expert at being lazy, I guess.
I was the exact same way when I was pregnant with Hayden! I just wanted to be done. I was tired, huge and just wanted him outside so I could enjoy him...no one seemed to understand.
I was totally done at work also. I worked until the day before I went into the hospital. it sucked!!
I could whine/vent for hours.... I feel like everytime we think we are going to get ahead money wise something else happens and it sets us back even further than we were in the first place. We finally got some cash and *thought* we could get caught up and back on track and then Travis had to have his kidney stone surgery. So in a matter of a week we spent over 400 on him from the ER copay to meds and then for all the MD visits and the surgery....and we will be getting more bills for it. ugh. We still havent even come close to be finished paying for Haydens delivery.
I also feel like I am working for nothing. My paycheck these days doesn't even cover daycare for 2 weeks. It is so crazy! I am pretty much working for insurance benefits. Dh gets benefits next month with his job, but then we will not be able to live off his income and have me quit. If I could get my partylite business to take off then we would be fine, but who has extra money to spend on candles when people can barely afford to live...
I hope and pray everyday that things will get better...I just have to remember I have my Dh and kids who are amazing and we are all pretty healthy for the most part so we are just focusing on that right now.
I like this idea!
Lets see...
Well Im going to whine about the obvious. It hurts a hell of a lot worse then I thought it was going to coming up to baby boys due date and no baby. Meagan, Im soooo excited for you please dont confuse but part of me is questioning why her and not me. I guess it comes with the territory. I want to know what you are having!
We got a free giant tub of formula mailed to us over the weekend from Similac. So nice of them. DH lost it. I have been kinda bugging him about when we can start trying and he just said flat out. Im not ready mentally. So we wait a bit longer. I think November is going to really be emotional for both of us.
School is getting crazier and crazier. I became the president of the Billing Coding club that they made and these women do nothing but B*TCH about everything! Too much homework, teacher doesnt know how to teach, class is boring... I just want to scream!
DH got laid off AGAIN from his job. Gotta love f-ing unions! Granted, he knew that it was only temp work going in. So hes on the hunt to find something else now. However, the forman drove to our house and dropped off his check. He really was upset he needed to lay him off. He said as soon as it gets busy again DH is the first one back.
Ok I think thats it for now...
Hope all are having a good day.
I didn't know you are going to school for billing/coding, me too. How are you doing? Do you like it?
