Confessions/Irritations/Etc
Confess something. Tell what's pissing you off lately. Do it, you won't :P
Re: Confessions/Irritations/Etc
H quit his job to move with me to my new job. He was unemployed for 4-ish months. Then he got a temporary job where he was working 12+ hours a day plus an hour commute and was miserable. I got sick of him coming home bitching so much so when he asked if it was OK to quit, I said yes.
It was really good money though and he only had one month left with them. I kinda wish he sucked it up and stayed. Besides money being tight again, it's exhausting working all day then coming home to H who wants all my attention because he was by himself all day. I feel bad, but I don't get any 'me' time.
Uuuuuuuuuuuuugh. Your post just made me feel horrible b/c I'm your husband!!!! My DH moved me from my beloved hometown to the middle of BFE nowhere to work in a career that I had *absolutely* no desire doing, but he really, really wanted. Then, I got mono and I was laying around miserable and complaining and bawling to DH for well over 2 months b/c I felt like I was dying and he was working stupid insane hours and leaving me all alone in a town where I know no one!!!! Now I'm going to give him a big hug.
Oh, and I absolutely *LOATHE* this godforsaken *** hole of a town. There is *NOTHING* here, and I have to travel 45 minutes away to get to the closest Starbucks or decent grocery store that carries the ingredients I need to use to write my blog. Oh, and did I mention that we are living with his parents at the moment (it's really not that bad) and he has gone out of town 3 out of the 4 past weekends?!? Oh, and I HATE.IT.HERE.
The end.
Oh noooo, I didn't mean to do that. Every situation is a little different. I do feel guilty working too late some days and leaving H home alone because he gets lonely (and homesick).
Living with in-laws is rough. We did that right around the wedding. My days off from work were always weekdays (ugh retail!) and it felt awkward being around the house with them when H wasn't around. I would hide in our bedroom until they left the house because I didn't like being asked a million questions every day.
Aw, I understand both of those situations! It's hard to cut out an income... but it's hard to be miles away from something simple like a grocery store!
I'm still feeling fairly good about things, since we just got back from vacation.
However. At work, I'm in charge of keeping track of everyone's time off. They have to let the vice president know when they won't be in, and then she tells me. (She used to keep track, but that was taken away from her when she was playing favorites). Yesterday, I got a text at 5am, which woke both DH & I up (it was on silent, but the vibrating was enough) to say that 2 people wouldn't be in.
That's the second time she's done that.
First of all. It's 5am. Second, I will be seeing you at work. Either email me, or tell me in person.
The best part, I talked to one of the girls that was out last night. She said she told the VP she would be out at 8pm the night before! So.. if she really feels the next to text me, I would've preferred the text at 8pm vs 5am!

Oh yuck! I would have been peeved!
I don't have any complaints as of today.
TTC since June 2012
In a strange twist, I actually have no complaints.
Okay, well here's one... I had a great dream that involved John Stamos. I'm annoyed it didn't last longer! haha
I have work related dramas. I've always had an on and off relationship with my boss, which I've posted about I'm sure. He was a gaping azzhole to me for awhile but now we get along ok. He values me as a good worker so he's always got my back and makes sure I'm getting my hours, and "protected", so to speak.
Well, he's finally pissed off this one girl so much that she's considering going up the chain of command and complaining. I know this because she told me, we've talked about him before. People seem to see me as safe to confide in for some reason. Everyone vents to me.
Dont get me wrong, I love to see karma come back and bite people, but I feel a bit stuck in the middle on this one. He's done a lot for me regardless of how the first year or two went. They won't fire him, I'm sure of that, but he'll be talked to and then it's just going to come back at her anyhow. Also, I don't want my name involved anywhere in the conversation.
Im also conflicted because I don't know whether he is actually protecting me from anything or if he is just manipulating me so he keeps me under his thumb. I've received really positive feedback from a few other higher ups recently so I don't know how concerned about all this I really need to be.
I have more complaints... I complain a lot.
My school sucks in terms of discipline. Kids get away with murder and they know it. Teachers are about to lose it because kids have the nerve to talk back or ignore us and when we write them up, nothing happens.
And I love H and he's been good about doing household stuff since he's home and I'm working, but I wish he would let me cook. Tonight's dinner was plain pasta with plain ground turkey. We have red sauce, butter, garlic, oil... he served it plain and dry. I need to teach him about seasonings and flavor :P
I'm irritated with my boss and every single person I work with. If it's not one dumb question it's another. I repeat myself all dang day. My pharmacist partner is leaving tomorrow for another job. They have known about this for 3 weeks. Management decided Monday to finally see if someone might want to transfer into our store. So we have floaters who suck the next 2 weeks at least....
Did I mention I don't like my job...AHHHHHH!!!!!
I would hide in our bedroom until they left the house because I didn't like being asked a million questions every day.
BWAAHAHAHAHAAAHAHAAAA!!!! Do this every morning!
Dear Lord if DH tried to serve me something like that I'd freak!!! BUT I love to cook and I'm a totally foodie so I don't really allow him in the kitchen any way!
Did you actually eat it like that?!? Yuck!
I would have just added ingredients and not felt bad about it, not for one second.

TTGP Blog - A Good Read!
Haha, agreed! "I appreciate the effort, however..."
While thinking about it, I wouldn't be surprised if DH did something like that.
His specialty is breakfast food. Anything beyond that, he's clueless.

Unfortunately, It's the other way around in our household! :-( I usually do the cooking, but he is a much better cook (in terms of what spices and seasonings to add). If I make a new recipe, I usually follow it exactly. I'll read reviews, and adjust based on reviews though. But afterwards, I also ask him, what could be different about it.
TTC since June 2012
Here's my irritation/confession -
I wish DH would do more around the house without me having to ask him! I feel that I do 95% of the cleaning/laundry, etc. Occasionally, he'll do something on his day off from work, but I still feel that I do the majority of it! Yes, he had the day off yesterday, and cleaned up the garage (which was a disaster), and he washed and waxed his car. There are days that I feel that I am just constantly picking up after him, and that I'm his mom. He always throws it at me that he works a lot more than I do, and with his job, he is constantly on his feet. Yes, I get that you work 45-50 hours a week, and you're on your feet and always busy that entire time. Yes, I know I only work 40 hours a week, and that sit at a desk 95% of the time. But still! It just seems that at times, it's pulling teeth to get him to do anything (if he doesn't want to do it), and then I feel that I'm nagging him. Ugh
I think it's just that time of the month (ugh!), because I was really grouchy yesterday, and he was just p3ssing me off!
TTC since June 2012
Oh my! I suck at cooking and generally I avoid the kitchen, but even I know that that is BAD!
I avoided H's parents like the plague when I lived with them (alone) years ago. It was a horrible time in my life for many reasons. I would strategically find out their comings and goings around the house. Would sneak out of my room very stealthily to go downstairs to eat their 2 day old leftovers and get glasses of water. It was hell because they still hated me at that time. So I get it. I really do.
Now I wish we lived with them. They have so much space, a pool, It's near most of our friends and my family. It would save us tons of money. Plus they are super cool now. If only H's job was in their city.
DO NOT FEEL BAD! EVER! Being that ill is unavoidable sometimes. I had mono. It blows. I sit at home most of the day for close to a year now. The cat and I are all over H vying for his time when he gets home. It's boring not having close friends in this city.
Now for my Confessions/Irritations/Etc... I regret going back to school this quarter. I thought I was ready. My doctors thought I was ready. Clearly I wasn't. I'm having a really hard time health wise. I have one week out of 5 so far where I actually felt good.
It was a nightmare re-enrolling with financial aid. I was up there 4 times. Two months ago and 3 times the week before school started. I spent about 12 hours up there! Then they LOST all of my paperwork I had done! I had to redo all of it because they don't give me copies or make any for themselves. Their excuse? It was busy so they lost it. Had to do it all over again. If this messes up my financial aid I'm going down their with tar and feathers.
I had to drop a class because I couldn't handle so many. The drop process now requires 5 signatures (that includes one from the president and the dean). You have to talk to your advisor before you drop but the advisors are now not on campus. You call to talk to them. It was a horribly stressful process because they question why you are dropping. I them have to explain I can't physically handle it yet. Then they act like I'm screwing myself over and shouldn't drop the class. Trying to convince me to keep it. F-that! It's been better since I dropped the class though.
All the photo equipment at the school is a piece of junk now. They need some serious tlc, like yesterday. It's depressing and frustrating.
One of my teachers is the bigest hard as* b*tch ever! I skipped her class yesterday because I wasn't feeling so hot. But I went by the school to pick up some needed photo equipment for my other class. The classroom is next to where we check out the equipment. H and I heard her yelling at the class and b*tching them out over not turning in work correctly. (By the way I got a 0 because I din't submit something properly. She got it but it doesn't count). We got to the car and H says how happy he isn't in that class and have that instructor. I then tell him that was the class I was skipping. He replies with a "I'm glad you missed today."
In my photo class I'm trying to prove I am a good photographer all over again. I just have a hard time physically. And this last project stressed me out and made me so sick because of stress. I couldn't even sleep. Why? I couldn't get a model. I asked my normal people. I asked new people. No one. Then at the last minute a friend who I haven't talked to in forever said yes. Took and edited the photos in one day. They are due today. Printing them now.
It's time to register for next quarter. I get my degree audit and a couple of the classes I've taken are not on it! So now I have to go through more B.S. to find out why they aren't and get them back on. They are in the system someplace. They have to be. Everything else on the darn thing is correct.
There is some more B.S and annoyances but that's the overview of what I've been doing since the end of December.
I'm thinking of going to community college to take some classes that I know will transfer. Costs about $3,000 less a class so financially it makes sense. Plus I can continue school. And I don't think the classes would be as stressful (22 weeks is much more relaxing then 11). I need a break from my school. Maybe I should just start working full time. Oh and baby making has gone by the wayside because of the school I'm going to now.
Thank you for reading my novel. I'm off to pick up my prints and head to class. Try to sort my Audit out. I'll be back.
So I don't ovulate every month, so my doctor wants me to take an ovulation test every day. I hate waking up every morning, waiting to pee because I have to open the pee stick, do my business and then I don't get a smiley face.
I'm avoiding taking the drugs for another month, since she said I would be moody with them. great.
LOL Unfortunately I did eat the very plain dinner just because I didn't want him to feel bad and he had it ready on a plate in front of me. Today I asked him to bring me some leftovers since I was stuck at school until 7pm and I told him to add some sauce to it.
How did that go?
LOL it was just simple sauce from the jar so he did alright.
