Anyone have anything random they want to share? Any vents? Complaints? Want to overshare? I am ALL EARS.
Re: I'm bored.
Other randomness: I caught myself checking out random men today. DH needs to get home ASAP! Sick or not, I need some ST.
My sister is kind of driving me nuts lately. She calls me ALL THE TIME. She's called me three times today: this morning at 8freaking30 to tell me the results of a health scan that her employer did for their employees, at lunch (I didn't answer as I was at lunch with friends) and about half an hour ago and I just now got off the phone with her. I don't need to talk to her three times a day. I don't even need to talk to her every day! She got a new job in a new field about 4 months ago, and that's all I hear about...and it's really effing boring. Spreadsheets, projects, stuff I really don't care about, but it's new to hear and interesting so I feel obligated to respond politely like a good sister but my god, I'm ready to pull my hair out when her ringtone starts up.
I don't have the patience to have a 30 minute phone conversation every damn day. I call my mom maybe once a week, and I might email her one day out of the week. I know my sister calls mom all the time. I'm just not as in need of constant communication, and she used to be good about that but dammit, it's too much lately!
Maybe I just notice it more because it's the summer and I don't have a whole lot to talk about so it's really one-sided.
You all don't even know the half of it. Worse, I feel ashamed as if I have done something wrong and am ruining this special time for her. Like, totally ashamed. I SHOULD HAVE stuck up for myself but I didn't, it was easier to hold my peace but now I am madder than ever.
Is this a best friend? Why are you still involved with it all? Can you hand the reigns over to someone else? I would not let myself be miserable because she's being bridezilla.
My sister did this when she moved to Cali for the first few weeks. I love talking with her, but Skype every day was starting to be a little much. Luckily she's adjusted and now I wish she'd call me MORE. There is never a good balance for me!
My husband is convinced that my sister and her bf are rocky because she's calling me all the time, because, shouldn't she be telling him all this? Well, yes, I guarantee you she's telling him AND our mother all the same information. I mean, that's what you do. Not everyone is as disconnected as H from the rest of the world. A quick check-in on the drive home is fine, with maybe a longer chat or a lunch over the weekend but dang, three in one day? Too much. I'm also a little angry at her still from a comment from a couple of weeks ago (long story) and I kind of wanted to have some distance, but nope, none of that. We MUST TALK EVERY DAY!
Please pass some along to my DH while you're at it. I've been getting over a respiratory infection all week and now that I'm feeling better he's still afraid of getting coodies.
You ladies getting sexy time make me jealous. H will be home in a month, and I'm hoping new baby doesn't make his appearance early so that I can get some of that time in before I can't for six weeks.
My randoms are sad, but here we go:
1. I only want Dr. Pepper nowadays. And I haven't really drank Dr. Pepper since I was in high school.
2. We've got some learning/speech/behavioral things going on with JJ, and I'm getting frustrated because there's only so much I can do in this small town. Three people are responsible for all that testing for the entire city, which means JJ's been put on the back burner since he's not in elementary school yet. Which has his daycare riding my @ss about how much of a "problem child" he is and that I need to move him. It's frustrating, and I'm about to snap.
3. I'm not ready for school to start. At all. And I shouldn't be complaining about it since I go on maternity leave in 6 weeks anyway - but I wish summer break would've lasted just a little longer.
my bookshelf!
Bloggy
Me either - I think it would be high time to hang this one up. I don't know what all else is going on here, but this certainly doesn't sound like it's worth it.
Well, H was right. Sis told me today her bf has been irritating her lately.
I hate when H does that. It's not fair that he gets to be right so much of the time.
I loved this series!!
Here's my random. My DH is killing me. He is bound and determined to go to LV in Oct, with a "short stop off" in Albuquerque... This would all be about 2 wks of vacay. Except I just started my new job in May, and I'm starting a full load of online classes in 3 weeks. I really don't want to spend what little PTO I have listening to his pothead stepdad b!tch and moan about how much Obama is ruining this company...
Oh, and I'd really like my kid to get on board with potty training...
What do you mean that's the wrong side? Tastes great to me!
Noooooo
We just had our floors all finished in June and now we have to rip them up again in the hallway. I'm not going into specifics, but we'll say that someone other than us really screwed up and it's a good thing their company has insurance.
I had such a great day yesterday until 9:30pm. I would just like something to go right with this house for once. It's too emotionally draining.
