I didn't get to partake in yesterdays festivities cause I was doing good.

TODAY. Not so much. :cursing: I am like super annoyed and stuff.

I just feel yicky. I can't shake it. Ususally I can. Worst part is...I don't actually know why I'm so annoyed and mad and grouchy.
 
Well, I happen to know why I'm a bit of a grouch. While my day started off well (I was reassured by the Dr. I would not need shoulder surgery, and then I saw that I was one of the lucky ones picked for Dani's gift card), my boss called me and delivered the bad news that I am going to be laid off in June as my position will be eliminated (of course, his is too and so many others in my company). Considering that my DH has been looking for a job since January and has yet to find one and then add the economy turning to crap (especially in finance which is my field), and I was upset, needless to say. I have been here 12 1/2 years and haven't looked for a job or been on an interview outside my company in over 10 years. So yeah, I'm not a happy camper....
 
I'm grouchy because my computer is dying a slow, painful death and I won't have money to replace it for a few months unless something else I'm grumpy about but can't talk about happens. :thumbdown:
 
I'm grouchy because I partook in Inventory at work this week. I was one of a team of about 11 people that had to count $4mil worth of inventory in 2 days.
SUCKAGE! I feel so exhausted and drained, both physically and mentally.
 
I am grouchy because on top of everything else that is going on w/ me this week, I busted my A$$ last night to get clothes together for my friend's garage sale this weekend... loaded everything in my car.. only to come to work and find out that she decided to have the sale next weekend. :cursing:
 
Leslie- Hugs sweety! I am so sorry that you have to deal with this kinda stress.

All you girls need a big hug!

Im grouchy cause despite the fact Im feeling much better I still have food aversions and I am just ready to eat what I wanna eat! That and my husband is addicted to this stupid ass socom game and thats all he wants to do when he comes home lately.

ROFL, my husband had that addiction for YEARS! He loves all the Socom games! But since he got his xbox 360 recently, he hasn't been playing them-so nice to have a break from those games!:thumbup:
 
Grrrr, ok...here goes. Mason has to go to the nearest town for bloodwork every month. Fine, whatever...that's not really a big deal. The part that is angering me right now is that when we first started doing this, the lab was open until 4:45 every day - it wasn't hard to get there after school/work (DH gets off work at 4:30 Mon-Thurs, but 3:30 on Fri, so we always go on Fridays). Over the summer, they changed their hours, and were now open only until 4:15. That was cutting it close, because DH has to drive all the way home from work (15 minutes) and then all the way back to town, and we have to wait in line at reception to get to the lab. But we've ALWAYS gotten in there just in time.

Mason has today off of school, so I called my MIL to ask if she'd take us in for it this afternoon - she can't. OK. Called my SIL who is in town - she can't either. OK. Trev will take us after work...it'll be cutting it close, but we have done it before and can do it again. I just called the hospital to be sure what time they close...it changed...AGAIN. To 4:00. ARGH!

So, this is a problem because:

a) Trev works until 4:30 on most days, even getting off at 3:30, we can't get back into town and into the lab before it closes

b) Mason is in school full-time and doesn't get off the bus until 4:00

c) Picking up Mason from school and taking him to the hospital instead of waiting for the bus STILL won't work because his school is 25 mins away from the hospital.

So, I'm irked. He NEEDS to get his bloodwork done, today is really the only option, and we STILL won't be able to get it done in time. ARGH!
 
bree! that is horseshit (pardon my french). how can the lab close so early?!?! hello!!! people work. :cursing: if you were close i'd come over to draw mason's blood, i'm kind of a genius at it.

OYE!! HUGS, leslie! this is tough stuff.
 
Oh yeah...and I can't just get DH to take off work early, because if he leaves even 15 minutes early, he loses his "production bonus" for ALL the hours he worked that payperiod (88). That's like taking $100 right out of our pockets. :thumbdown:
 
nice. so what your trying to tell me is everyone is conspiring against you. i'm 'bout to go boondock saints on everyone right now. that's crap!
 
oh and i figured out where my madness is coming from.

been on my period for 7 days straight with no signs of stopping.

i gained a lb and a half in the last 2 days.

legends of the fall :p

my knee is killing me. like killing. literally.

i have acneville on my face. wth. i get like 4 pimples a year and this week i've gotten like 12-15 zits. a few of which are huge and cystic.

i'm just down and out. sick of being chubby. sick of bleeding from my 'area' each month. sick of doing homework every night with the kids. just done. tired.

in a funk, i am. sorry for sounding so petty when some of you ladies are dealing with real stuff.
 
sorry everyone is dealing with such crap.

I feel like crap because I don't want to go back to work after my mat leave is done. I want to design and stay home with my babies, but with the economic crap I don't think that is possible. So my ILs that I hate will get to raise my children during their formative years. And then I will have to send them into a public school system that is underfunded with a bunch of little bratty bullies, because I can't afford to homeschool. grrr...end of rant
 
Grrr. I really didn't think it could get worse, but it did. We got in there, it was after 4, but whoever I talked to LIED, they are open until 4:15. So, fine...we sit there and wait about 15 minutes and finally get in there...they can't find a vein on Mason. They poked him THREE times...didn't get any blood. He was screaming bloody murder at this point (he's usually calm, but this is the second time they've had to poke him more than once at this hospital), and I'm like...he HAS to get it done today, so do a fingerpoke instead. And then they had to do 2 of them to get enough blood. Grrr.

We're going out to my inlaws for supper, and I'm just REALLY grouchy at this point, I'd rather just stay home. And I just might...send DH and the kids and stay home by myself.
 
Im grouchy because I have to endure days and days of cramps and still not start my period then itll start all over a week or two later and that will be my real period and Ill have three or four more days of horrible cramps. That is normal for me though but I still need to get into the dr and see about why that is how it is.
 
awww everyone is having a really bad day today ((((((((((hugs)))))))))))) to you all. I have nothing to complain about today I am actually happy for a change :p Hugs Crystal xx
 
I know I'm late to the party, but I'm ready to complain about my day...

First, I've had an upset stomach (sour stomache) all day long and today was the once-a-month "breakfast party" at work and I wasn't able to partake in the yummy-ness. :thumbdown:

THEN, I go to pick up Connor at my moms house only to find that he's sick. He had a 103.6 fever and it was only down to 100 after a dose of tylenol. :thumbdown:

And we were going to have a "big fun family night". DH was going to take us out to dinner and then to Best Buy to get some new RAM for my computer, but Connor is too sick to go out and my stomach is still feeling puny. :thumbdown:

((I should add that there is a silver lining. DH went to Best Buy with our oldest DS and they not only got me more RAM, but a huge IHD :thumbup: ))
 
Oh, thanks for letting me grump, Fizz! :p

I am grumpy b/c I've finally run out of money after 5 months of unemployment and will have to borrow money from FI next week to pay my rent. I'm also having to borrow money for the bachelorette party I have to throw BFF this weekend.

Oh, and also b/c someone STOLE the special longline bra I ordered to wear under my bridesmaid dress right off my mat in front of my apartment door (can you believe that?!), so I had to order another while my dispute with Fed Ex goes through, which was another $50 that I don't have, and get THAT delivered which means it's 2 weeks until the wedding and I'm going in to get alterations Monday, so hopefully they will be done in time! I tried the bra on, and I look superhorrible and fat in it with my muffin top leaking out the bottom, so I imagine I will have to find some kind of life-size sausage casing to squish into for the wedding, and you can imagine how fun THAT will be.

It's not all bad, though. FI did make special arrangements with his ex to switch weekends so he could be with me at the rehearsal dinner & wedding AND said he was going to rent out a really nice hotel room both Friday and Saturday nights so we could have some nice QT without schoolwork, the dog, the kid, etc. I am looking forward to that!
