Vents/Complaints go here
Tell me your Monday complaints.
Mine is that I've had a headache since last Thursday. I stopped taking BCPs for good last week because of the headaches, but seriously - 4+ days with a headache from withdrawal makes me want to kill someone.
Re: Vents/Complaints go here
Mine is lame. I just don't feel like being at work today. I had a great weekend and I am still on that high--being at work is killing it!
And I am exhausted. BF is away for his military training and is in a different time zone. So his "free time" to call me usually starts at 11:30pm our time. Seeing as it is the only time I get to talk to him, I forsee staying up really late every night until he comes home. Bring on the IV of coffee!

My weekend was schit. And I now have flowers sitting on my desk.
I have a mandatory attendance, off-site during work hours (which means no alcohol allowed) office party tomorrow. Blech.

I had this problem last week (due to a sinus infection). I had a migraine that would NOT go away- I was sick, shaky, quesy and people at work were pissing me off to no end.
The only thing that touched it was Goody powder. First time I ever tried the stuff and it worked like a charm (I normally swear by Excedrin)- have you tried that?
I hope you & Bowie's both feel better quickly!!!
I feel like half of my brain is missing.
My latest genius move: I sent back something I ordered online, but forgot to include the return form in the box. I called the company to let them know. They were like, "Don't worry. There's a return address on the box, right?"
Uhhhhh.... I wouldn't be so sure about that. Doh!
DS was a rock star last night after sleeping in late both days this weekend and taking long naps. At one in the morning he was bouncing all over and kicking us in the head during Monsters, Inc. Bless his little heart when he decided he was tired and wanted to go back in his own bed.
I thought I was hungover yesterday morning, even though I only had a few drinks Saturday night. I felt like crap and had a headache and didn't want to wake up. I felt the same way this morning. I'm pretty sure that it just means that it is morning.
Our neighbors have been seeing a COUGAR. We are in fricking eastern Iowa. Not cougar territory. Our other neighbors lost a cat (they don't know that it was from the cougar, but they are only missing one cat and it is just plain GONE) and now I freak out about the dog being out, about the calves, about DS and I really miss my morning walk. I'm alternating between "it won't hurt you," and "its a freaking cougar. time to katy bar the door."
This is what I miss on my walks:
Typical. I hate that so much.
Happy birthday baby Malibu!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BABY MALIBU!!!
Thanks
I hope she's behaving for Daddy. She's started walking in the last few weeks, and she's a handful now wanting to walk by herself all the time. He's taking her to Mall of America today. I'm waiting to get a panic text of "She's freaking out, what do I do???" later on today. Haha
I've been taking vicodin coated tylenols and they have not been able to help at all. Today, I'm hoping I just have a rebound headache from the two pills yesterday. I have to be at the end of this withdrawal - I have to be!
My vent was that over the weekend, I was remarking on how that day it would've been 2 months since H last did his laundry. Seriously, my H sucks at doing his laundry. My dad comes in with the usual "you're the wife. You do his laundry. And what's this I'm hearing about him doing the dishes? I told him that men don't do dishes. He's paying the bills so that you can live there."
Really? Ok he pays the mortgage and HOA fees, which is about less than $500, for the condo, but I pay for the electricity that he uses to watch tv, I pay for the Netflix he uses, the cable etc etc etc. Don't say I'm not pulling my weight.
And my H did his laundry regularly before we got married. And he did it without prodding or nagging from his mom, so why the eff is he regressing into childhood AFTER moving out of his childhood home?
No, I'm nice once in a while and toss in a few of his work clothes in with mine, but I'll be damned if I'm going to be stuck to his laundry because he's regressing.
Shut the eff up, dad.
No freaking way. This makes me livid. I would very much tell my FIL to go to h*ll if he ever told me this. Even though I know he doesn't do anything at his house.
I have a friend I'm trying to move away from a little bit (she's super clingy and is starting to constantly question my life choices), and she just keeps trying to make plans. I tell her I'm busy, or I'm sick, or whatever else, and she still pushes.
I'm tired of setting boundaries. In general.
