Confessions/Rants/etc

I'm kinda bummed that the Tropical Storm isn't heading our way anymore. I was looking forward to a rainy weekend at home with DH, beer & some inside the house projects.

I may kill an armadillo too.

  • I want to punt kick fatty. He got a taste of freedom the other night when DH forgot to lock the back door and now he cries/howls all day long and at night. He pulls on the back door handle and bangs on the blinds/windows at night too. I am a really light sleeper so he's waking me up multiple times a night. I love him but he's driving me fuuuucking insane!

    lol!

    Gussy was an *** who went outside last night, didn't pee, then walked into the house & peed. So he spent the night in his crate... which meant I slept with a pillow over my head because he wouldn't stop barking. Damn dog.

  • I am so annoyed and stressed at work right now. Work stress + pregnancy hormones = me trying not to cry at my desk. I'm also so over a certain coworker.

    Also, our countertops got delayed again. Now we're looking at Monday for them to be installed. I want a kitchen again damnit! *Whines and stomps foot*

    I'm in a very ranty mood today. I may be back with more.

    Do we need to go for a walk?

  • I have a few.

    I don't like my husband very much lately. He's getting on my nerves. I'm sick of coming home every evening and just watching tv and playing on the Internet. There are a million things we could do, he could help me clean the house so I don't kill myself on my day off trying to play catch up. We could go to a park with Amsterdam, we could go for a walk. But no, his ass wants to sit on the couch and look at car stuff.

    I'm sick of Amsterdam sleeping with us every night but I know if we put him in his crate he's just going to bark all night.

    I'm beginning to not like anyone I work with. I'm the youngest and everyone thinks they are so much wiser than me. You have kids, I get it. That makes you so much more worldly, whatever. I just had a conversation with the girl who sits next to me. I usually really like her but she's on my last nerve and we've barely been here an hour. We were talking about dog and cat food. I mentioned that we buy Iiams and it's kind of expensive but that it's worth it. She said, "Once you have kids you won't spend that much on pet food". I replies that I would, my pets would not suffer b/c I decide to reproduce. She then told me that I should wait to have kids until I get rid of my pets. B!tch, what?!?

  • I had the best sleep last night that I have had in along time BUT I am absolutley exhausted today. I can not wait until Saturday so I can lay in bed past 6am.

    I wish tomorrow was my last day at work. I still have one more week but I am sick of being here.

    DH & I went though this for awhile. Do you think your H might be depressed? Have you considered seeing a counselor?

    The reason I say this is because DH was essentially shutting me off by sitting in his recliner & screwing around on the internet for hours at a time every evening. He didn't realize that his behavior was isolating & the negative effect it was having on me & our relationship. He was completely clueless despite my efforts to make him see it. He just.didn't.get.it.

    ETA: Also, for the price of Iams, there are a lot of better dog foods out there. Check out http://dogfoodadvisor.com/

    Thank you for both ideas. Honestly, I don't know what's up with DH. I try to talk to him but we don't always communicate well. I'll check out that link.

    Wha? What a frickin' dumbass thing to say. We want our kids to grow up with animals while they're young so they learn responsibility, etc and have a buddy to play with. Pets and kids can so mix! What a moron. 

    Mine is that I'm so pissed with Terminix! The previous owner has had them since 1996, and we're up for renewal. I should've known since there was an infestation that was repaired last year before they put the house on the market, but Terminix basically did everything wrong, and hasn't treated the house since 2002, when it was due in 2007! So when we had two new companies come inspect for quotes, we found damage in the garage and the guest bedroom! Neither of which are even close to where the damage last year was! ARGH! 

    So now I have to get Terminix to come and fix both of the issues when the bond expires at the end of the month. I sense a fight coming on.

    Also, counseling has helped us immensely with our communication. We actually LISTEN to one another now Yes GL!

  • I don't know if this is going to make me sound heartless, but I go through periods where I just want to give up calling and posting about Salty. It's killing me to get a glimmer of hope, call, email, or whatever and then have it all come crashing down again. On top of that, going home really really really sucks right now. He was always there waiting for me so excited to see me and he was always following me, with me, taking naps with me. I'm trying to make the cats hang out with me, but we all know cats can be little fuuckers that only do what they want to do. So then I have moments where I just want to run out and adopt a dog to fill this void, but I know Salty could show up at any moment and I shouldn't give up. It all just really sucks.

    Left Hug I know Brodie died so it's not exactly the same, but I totally get all of this. It's been 4 1/2 months & I still cried over him this morning. The void is immense. I never realized how much I talked to him, added his name to songs I sang, danced with him etc.

    I also get the want to fill the void. There have been a few times that i thought it would be nice to have a dog around the house to fill the void but really...I miss Brodie & that's different then just missing having a dog. For me it wouldn't be fair to have another dog right now when my feelings are still so raw from losing him.

    With that said however, I'm still praying & sending positive thoughts that Salty will be found & we'll all be celebrating a happy reunion very soon!

  • Mine is just more of my CW not making any damn sense.  I have a horrendous headache, and she's just raising my BP....making it worse.  She is my friend, but a beast to work with.  I have to order 2 PCs for customers who are down.  We have a 3rd customer down, but I don't know if I need to order for them or not.  B/c the director is texting my CW instead of just picking up the phone and working it all out.  CW just keeps texting her back.  And I'm like....I need to know NOW.  I'm holding up ordering for 2 other clients, waiting on her.  And she's like "I know riiiiight, just call me, psh."  ....as she's texting the client back.  CALL HER.  They've been going back and forth for 20 min.  Meanwhile, we both handle the schedule, but I'm considerably more thoughtful when creating it.  (as in, I won't send out main tech back and forth across town unless necessary, I try to bundle appts near each other.)  Tomorrow, he has 2 appts downtown, but they're like 4 hours apart.  She's like, he's booked tomorrow, he can't do ANYYYYTHING else.  I'm like really?  So is he supposed to sit down town and twiddle his thumbs for 4 hours?  You make no sense.  I need a drink.

    Now she won't shut up about how she has to pee....but won't go pee.  WTF?

  • I am so over one of my CWs. She is totally the kiss ass of our group, has to add her 2 cents in about everything all the freaking time. Our meetings are already long enough and a waste of time, if you add a comment on everything that only makes it worse. I just want to tell her to STFU.

    Ugh. I've had co workers like this & I freakin hate it. So annoying. It always takes me back to college. Save the stupid questions for after class people. Be a moron on your own time & stop wasting mine.

  • I had a donut and a publix bakery cookie today. I brought roasted chickpeas to snack on instead of the sweets, but I failed.
  • Now I want a donut.
