Re: vents/rants/confessions
Vent: My brother's girlfriend/fiance is pure trash. Simple as that. And, motherhood is going to eat her alive. She has the expectations that her child will NEVER make a mess, play with 1 toy at a time and put all of her toys away accordingly, never talk back, never make a mess with food with the exception of her 1'st birthday cake and is using children in our family as an excuse to not visit our families citing the reason is she's fearful that the kids will hurt the baby. She also says that her child will never break anything. ANYTHING. And, she stated on Facebook yesterday that her daughter has been throwing fits lately (she's 3 months old) and she's been throwing them for at least the past month if not longer. So, a 1 1/2 month old throwing fits.
Rant: I am tired of people pushing their beliefs onto others and chastising them at the same time. I guess they don't realize what they are doing negates their Christian ways?
Confession: I wish my niece had a different, more sane, mother.
Vent: My brother needs to grow up and not get pissy every time my dad doesn't drop everything to go do something with him. Its making my dad feel guilty but my brother is really acting like a 5 year old. He is twenty freaking two and needs to get over it.
Rant: I wish I hadn't told anyone about applying for the research position but DH. Dad and everyone keeps asking me about it. Its making me nuts.
Confession: I'm so excited to just hang out with E today.
Rant: LittleL is being a pill today.
Confession: I am totally sabotaging my diet today. I've lost 25 lbs, have 15 to go, and my motivation is starting to wane.

Rant: See above.
Confession: I really don't want to go to my DC baby shower.
Vent: I'm getting really sick of my mom constantly complaining about about how horrible my stepdad is to me all the freaking time. I finally told her today that I love him and it hurts me that she's constantly complaining about him. She's always talking about how horrible he is (he's been unemployed for over 2 years, though he's looked everywhere) and how all their money problems are his fault which is completely BS. She goes out and spends money on tattoos and piercings and a bunch of sh*t she doesn't need. I'm looking forward to moving away from her in a few months and I hope I don't have to deal with her anymore unless at holidays. Hopefully then she'll understand her teenage ass-hat ways just ruined her relationship with me and my siblings.
Rant: I'm going nuts from the fleas in our house. I got the meds on the cats and have now bombed our house with flea spray and I'm hoping that will help. My legs look like I have a freaking rash from the amount of flea bites I have. Ah!
Confession: I shopped at Trader Joe's for the first time this weekend and there is no way I'm going anywhere else.
Aw, I bet it'll turn out fun!

Vent: I'm tired of the whole delayed communication thing between H and I. I know it's not his fault, but it's getting really stressful. We're only a little past the halfway mark and I'm so ready for this deployment to be over.
Rant: H is in port for the first time in over a month. Typically that means he can find a wifi spot so we can video chat on skype, but this little island's internet is super shiiiity and can't even handle calls. It's 2011 people! Dial-up internet is not acceptable.
Confession: I spent all of yesterday in my pajamas eating junk food and reading sexy vampire books while everyone else was watching the news and freaking out about the hurricane.

My only which is really just a minor annoyance happened yesterday during & after Stan's wedding. I had to wear the re-usable sticky bras because of the neckline on my dress. Well, I sweated (sp? is that a word) those bad boys right off. I got back in the car after the wedding and they were hanging down near my stomach. I tried to re-stick them but the sweat was too much so I laid them in front of the AC vent to regain stickiness and drove to the reception site.
The really tricky part was putting them back on without removing my dress while driving/stopping at stoplights. I looked over mid boob grab & lift to see there was a fella in the car next to me watching it all. Awesome. I got them back on, crooked, but on none the less and they stuck for the rest of the night.
LOL

Oh no! You looked super good though! All the Nesties did!
Thanks, I hope so...
I can't wait for August to be over, hell I'm ready for summer to be over. It's just been bad ever since DH went back for R&R.
I had to put my 14 year old cat down about a month ago. Then a few weeks later at my first OB appointment, I found out that our R&R baby didn't have a heartbeat. Telling Dh was the hardest thing I had to do during a deployment. I/we decided to have the D&C done. Everyone was asking me if my mom was coming out, and I didn't want her too, because she doesn't make stressful/hard situations better. So I was having "I'm a bad daughter" feelings because I didn't want my mom here. I told my mom that, and she accepted it, but wasn't all that happy about it. When I told her a huge amount of stress was gone. My in-laws basically told my mom that I was wrong and that she NEEDED to be here and that I NEEDED 24 hour care. That pisses me off, because my instints have told me what I need to do, and they don't think I know what is right for me.
Then they all want to come visit now (in-laws and parents)! None of them have wanted to visit the whole deployment, but now that something bad has happened they all want to to come visit. Well, I don't want visitors now. I want to move on, and get back to my routine, get back to my life. I get they think they are doing the right thing, but they aren't listening to what I say and I think I need. It's frustrating.
I hate that they all think I'm super depressed. I am sad and I'm upset, but it's not 24/7. My emotions are all messed up because of what happened and because of my hormones.
Then to top it all off yesterday was my birthday, and I spent it with a hurricane, and not one family member called to say Happy Birthday or even sent an email. I get that I had a hurricane, but I had power for part of the morning, and I had it back in the evening, when they usually call any ways. I think I am a bit over emotional about this right now because of what I'm going through and my hormones.
So it's been a really crappy two weeks and I'm ready for August to be over. I'm ready for fall, hopefully it will be a bit brighter than August.
This word for word. Hugs sweetie. And many many prayers coming your way.
First and foremost..big hugs and lots of positive thoughts to Sheila. I'm sorry to hear about what you are going through and can imagine you are beyond stressed out. Things will settle down eventually and you can get back to normal! xo
I hear ya girl! I really do love living with H..we balance each other out for the most part and we've been living together for about a year now..but the messiness is something I'm still trying to adjust to. He isn't a slob, but I am a neat freak..so we need to meet in the middle somewhere. I need to not be so OCD, and he needs to learn how to find his way to the laundry basket once in a while. But, I nanny and all day long I'm cleaning up after 3 small children and then I come home at the end of the day and find that I have to clean up after the big child I'm married to! Hahaha. He's getting better and is helping me out every now and then..maybe in 50 years I'll have him better trained!
