Anyone need a good scream?!
I DO!! I can't scream out loud at the risk of waking babies up, but I sure need somewhere to vent frustrations. DH and I are both equally stressed right now, so I hate freaking out to him too much! Anyway, if anyone else needs to scream, come on in!
AAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!
Re: Anyone need a good scream?!
::raises hand::
I don't think the workplace is appropriate so I'll do it here too!
I'm so stressed by not having a job or housing yet. I don't want to vent to H because this is what we wanted, but I didn't think it would be so difficult so get a job. Or find a rental/get approved for a loan. *sighs*
Then of course, work is just a constant stress. I didn't check in with them this weekend; they are all adults so they can call if they needed something, right? Wrong! I have a pile of things to correct along with trying to figure out why a staff member left her shift 4 hours early on a sold out night. Doing so of course stressed out the new employee and now I'm afraid she's going to quit because a sold out night alone with a bunch of pre-teens/teens is hell.
I feel like screaming but I think it's just the meds.
How about some inappropriate comic relief? So... I was thinking to myself this morning, geesh these meds make my boobs feel like there's needles in them. Every once in a while I'd feel this *jab* and kind of wince. Well then I got ready for my shower and realized that it wasn't the meds at all. There was a quill from my down comforter poking me all morning. D U H ! ...er at least the problem is solved.

Maddie's Party is this weekend and my SIL that I have not talked to since July is causing problems with the rest of the family because I didn't invite her...it's that bad, LONG story but seriously, doing the things that she did, did she really think that she'd be invited into my home?!
We have new floors going in on 3 levels starting today...they are late
I still have to finalize things for the party this weekend
Work is CRAZY busy
I need about 4 extra hours in each day
UGH, ok that felt better to get it all out!
Me! It's parent-teacher conf week and I have been sick (barely out of bed) since Thurs night. I did wake up feeling a little more human today, so it's back to work tomorrow. Nothing like a 13 hr day to try to re-adjust!
PS- the pics from Jovie's b-day are great! She's adorable and the cakes looked amazing. Loved the pic of the girls holding hands in the car--too sweet!
I hear ya!! I'm trying to chug through until spring break next week where Michael gets to go to daycare for two days and I get a day to myself!!!
