Re: I'm just a debbie downer.

  • That's what we are here for. Vent all you want. I'm glad that we have each other to talk to when we need someone to listen, give advice or complain with!

  • Barb, I am so sorry.  I can understand when it feels like nothing is going right.  We are here for you, hon.  And I am not too far from you.  Let me know if you need anything.

     

  • Aww, I'm sorry.  :-(  Here's a big hug for you!!!!

  • Sorry you have so many stressors going on..... TONS of hugs!! We are here to listen!!
  • :::Big hug!!::: I'm sorry you're feeling so bummed out! I know when my one boss was buying a short sale house it took him like 5-6 months to get it all cleared and done, and the bank was the biggest PITA possible. I totally feel you on wanting to just get into your dream house and enjoy it, I don't even have a prospect of a dream house :-P

    I think it's totally ok to have some time to feel just plain crappy about stuff, then just pick yourself up, dust yourself off and get yourself back on track feeling positive. Those positive vibes will go a long way, and I'm sending you some for your house, baby vibes, and your silly brother to call you. And yes as the other girls said, we are always here for you!

  • Go ahead and vent, I don't blame you in the least!!  Sorry you have all this crappy stuff to worry about.  Just remember, there are times when nothing goes right, and then there are times that everything seems to fall into place.  You will get to that point eventually :)  Hang in there!
  • I love you Barb. Write me ANYTIME if ever you just need to vent or get things off your chest. I know exactly where you're at with the ttgp piece and it's heartwrenching sometimes - the great thing about this board is all of the women here understand. I think they know, secretly, why I disappear sometimes even though they don't say it - and they still love me when I return. We love you here and are here for you anytime. <3
    love, jenifriend

  • Don't ever feel like you can't post!!! Oftentimes we don't really *need* each other when things are good and hunky dory, it's the hard times that you need to reach out - and that's okay!

    I totally agree with Allison that this is just one of those crappy times in life when nothing seems to go right, and somewhere around the corner will be the time when things fall into place. Just try to hang in there until then - and you can always talk to us!!

    I'm sorry your DH doesn't "get it" - I get frustrated too when mine doesn't understand why something is so incredibly frustrating for me, and for him it seems like he's just "eh, it'll be okay." Must be nice to feel that way, huh? Anyway that's what your girlfriends are for :)

  • Don't ever feel bad for coming here to get some things out that you need to. It is honestly why I love this board so much! We are just open, honest, caring, respectful and understanding. I can MORE than understand the stresses you are frustrated with right now.  I cannot believe how stressed I was when we were in the process of buying our house before the wedding. It was agonizing! Especially when winter is coming on, because you know when you get to move it will just work out that the weather will be crap (we ended up having to move during one of the worst snow storms in years because ours kept getting pushed back!). But keep your head up, and know that eventually what should be will be. On the TTGP, I know how heartbreaking it is when you see AF come each month. Please feel welcome to vent here about that any time you need! We are here for you! Hugs!!!!

  • Ugh, the nest just ate my whole post, I will try this again

    I am so sorry that you are dealing with all of this.  I know it is hard, but the bad will be replaced by the good eventually.

    I am sure that your dad calling your brother is because he is probably a bit freaked out about your brother deploying, he wants to get as much time in now just in case.  It is not that he does not want time with you, but he just feels that right now he really needs to be sure to get in a lot of time before the deployment.

    And I completely understand  about your husband not always getting your feelings, my husband is not a big feelings guy, and sometimes even though I know that he cares, the lack of understanding can make me feel more alone somehow.  But he really does love me, just like your DH loves you, some guys are just not great at knowing how to deal with certain things.

    Like Rachel said, we need each other the most in our down times, so we are always here for you.

     (((Hugs)))
