First World Problems
Post yours here. We've all got them...trying to keep things moving on Friday afternoon!
Re: First World Problems
My FB feed on my phone is not updating.
My office is always freezing, but we are not allowed to have space heaters.
There was a recall on something for our van. Rich is taking care of it, but I'm annoyed because that means I'll have to drive his car to work one day next week. I don't like his car.
My debit card is expiring, so I was sent a new one. But I'm annoyed that I can't start using it yet because I am too lazy to call the number on the sticker to activate it.
I did the exact same thing! Unfortunately when I went to use it today it got spit back out because it did expire and I never called the number. Whoops! Guess I finally have to do it.
I'm ridiculously bitter that when I got my new credit card it's Mickey Mouse instead of the Little Mermaid since they 'retired' Ariel from the card designs. NOT. OK.
I'll second that
Also this. I have a birthday party to prep for and work is really getting in the way of that.
OMG, I wish this was a thing! though I am currently having a good work/life balance. As you can tell by my attendance here today. But in anycase, i 4th this notion.
I am sad I will miss hot yoga next week while I am away on girls weekend. I am not sure my friends will be cool with me cranking the heat up to 98 so I can stretch.
LOL! I do this all the time when I'm trying to send someone a picture from online!
I can't find shoes for my sister's wedding. It is annoying me.
I also do not know what color tights to wear with the dress I am planning on wearing to my sister's shower next week.
I am also trying to figure out how to pick up 17 dozen mini-cupcakes from Vanilla next week without having to borrow my dad minivan.
Just said this to Nathan last night.
I do this too! I also take pictures of things as reminders. Like the other day I ran out of cover up, so I took a picture of the bottle. That way when I go to Target to buy some more, I will remember the color/brand. Also, I just wrote a list of things I need for Mason's party. My purse is a mess, so rather than throw my list into the abyss to get lost, I took a picture of the list.
There wil be NO cranking up the heat next weekend. Everything I'm bringing to work on is made of wool. Sweat and wool don't mix.
You can try cold yoga out on the deck. :-p
All of my problems are first world problems. Mostly I want more time to work on my freelance work and more time with the kids...which means spending less time on the work that pays the bills.
Also, my boss set ridiculous demands up this week and the mayor screwed up my work by having his meltdown on the day that we were supposed to meet with him.
One more hour...
I soooo feel your pain. Maybe they could take away that "plan card option" they have and make another character card. If you are going to have a Disney card it should have a character on it.
I'm just all around mopey. And I have to work ALL weekend because of a retreat. Funny enough it is focusing on 3rd world issues...(30 Hour Famine)...but all its doing is making me sad that I can't be at home with DH, DS, and my visiting FIL.
Hopefully I'll feel better after I get there.
And my house is a mess....
I fifth (or sixth?) this notion, Meghan. As someone who is entering her last week of a 12-week maternity leave, I am seriously getting depressed about going back to work, even though I am going back into a good situation that will allow for good work/life balance. I'm used to my lazy mornings, rocking the baby and playing with Conall.
And it's weird to me to be feeling this way about going back to work, as with Gavin, I was so bored on leave and with Conall, I was on unemployment and he was colicky - I never really enjoyed either break.
My three sons!
I am spending a small fortune to fix my teeth before I can even consider getting pregnant with our 3rd child and letting that make them any worse! Thank you bad genetics and 2 previous pregnancies. My teeth were in great shape before I got pregnant but now it just sucks. Probly doesn't help that I put some small stuff off waiting for our new insurance to start up and cover things!
We also just had to put a small fortune into our car because the breaks went bad and so did just about everything else that could go wrong because the breaks went bad!
Those two combined we no longer have enough for a downpayment on a house this year which puts moving out of our apartment behind another year! Which sucks because we had found the perfect house and were getting ready to make an offer. Also we'll probably put off having baby #3 until next year because I don't think we could fit a 3rd crib/toddler bed into our 2 bedroom apartment! Was really hoping we'd be in a house with enough room to fit everyone and have a yard for the kids to play in. DH and I would have to move to sleeping in the living room!
My kids demolished my teeth as well. I had a root canal and crown in November, and put off the other one until last month (for insurance reasons). The second one was much worse than the first and it's finally calmed down enough that I can get the temp crown on. Dental work is the worst...and it's expensive. I hope yours goes smoothly.
The root canal itself wasn't bad. It was actually quicker than a filling, so if that's what you're paying extra to get knocked out for, it might not be worth it. It only hurt after the fact (the second one, the first one didn't hurt at all) and after 1 day on a steriod it was almost back to normal.
I'm getting a root canal and a couple of fillings. The sedation is because I'm terrified of the dentist and this way I won't remember it. I have to go back later for more work, so not remembering is key
I don't want to revive my relationship with Dancing with the Stars, but I looooooove Lisa Vanderpump, so I'm torn. Do I start up that relationship again? Or do I stay strong and resist the urge? It's a hard choice to make.

Yes, Emmy, love the crying Dawson!!
My first world problems:
-- My son won't share his Kindle with me.
-- Home Depot is hard to work with and I feel like my counters are never going to be installed.
-- I don't like my new dining room chairs, but I already sold my old ones on Craigslist.Emmy - I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as you look within yourself to make this difficult decision. Whatever happens, I hope it all works out for the best!
