QOTD - Vent Here! - 11.19.15

[LeeAndra]

Back when 2Peas still existed () they would regularly have a vent here/what you wanted to say to someone but couldn't thread. I always felt better reading those threads, even if I didn't have my own vent to share, because it made me realize that I wasn't as crazy as I thought when certain things or people bothered me and that some people's problems were much worse than my own.

Use this space to get something off your chest!


Mine is simple:

Dear Kid,

The alarm goes off at 7. Not at 6. Don't wake up then. It makes me crabby.

Nobody likes me crabby. Especially me.

Love, Your Too Tired Mama

Oh yes to that! Lola came in to our room at 5:30 am o.O ...yesterday it was 4 am.

My vent is lack of sleep. My Fitbit shows me how much I get and I'm doing good if I get 3+ hours of actual sleep. The rest is restless sleep. Sunday night-Tuesday night, DH slept on the couch because he didn't want to wake us all up with his new work schedule and I got 6+ hours of sleep. SIX+ HOURS!! It was heavenly. Last night, he's back in our bed and I got 2.5 hrs....

...it's obvious I don't like to share my space LOL! I need caffeine stat.

Dear Husband,

Seriously, I shouldn't have to nag you over and over... Just clean the darn litter box... Regularly. If I can be pregnant for nine months, surely you can handle this one chore!

Only two more months and I will be back in charge of that nasty thing. lol.

Dear dog, if you are going to throw up please make it anytime OTHER than in the middle of the night and anyplace other than over the carpet.

Dear Co-Worker,

You are a grown a$$ man. You are an educated man. You have a Master's Degree. Stop acting like a child. You make me stabby.

Thanks in advance,

Carrie

[britaneejean]

oh another one after carpool this morning.

Dear carpool child,

We pick you up at the same time EVERY DAY. This is not new. Please be ready. We shouldn't have to wait for you to finish getting ready AND knock on your door....EVERY.SINGLE.TIME. Why can't you be ready & waiting?

Signed,
Frustrated & Cold Carpool Mom

Dear Whirlpool Appliance people...

I shouldn't have to have to get a valve replaced on my gas stove that is not even 2 years old... yet, I seem to have to if I want to be able to use all four burners. So I will shell out the $85 for a new valve. Now, why can't you make sure that the new value lines up with the other values so it doesn't dip down quarter of an inch? This is a $2000 stove - I shouldn't have to settle with knobs that don't line up... and what is the solution? Try a new $85 knob and charge me for the part and labor... oh, you messed with the wrong person...

Sincerely;
your nightmare of a customer

Dear children,

PLEASE quit asking me 4681546845 questions!!! AND once I have answered [more than] a few, at least dont repeat that one! AND when I am in the bathroom, that is the WORST time to ask me ANYTHING.

Jasper, PLEASE sleep like a normal baby!!!! I want to sleep at night...not in the morning after 1 or 2 am. I want to have normal people sleeping habits! I AM SO TIRED.

Love,
your super exhausted mother

Dear littlest son,

You are cute but that will only get you so far. When I ask you if you changed your socks when you came down this morning, I have a way of telling if you are lying because if I do 5 days of laundry you should have more than one pair of socks in there!!

Same goes with underwear!!

Love,
Your Mom

PS. Putting your shoes away doesn't mean just throwing them in your room.

[lovely1m]

Dear ex-husband, please, stop giving me excuses and come through with what you promise.

Dear boyfriend, love of my life, your shows and music are super boring. Please, stop subjecting them to me and then talking crap about the one song I played in a two hour period and then calling me irritable when I say there's no reason to talk that way about my one song.

There, one real vent, one silly one.

[clearskies]

Dear Husband,

The middle of the kid's bedtime routine is not a good time to clean out the frig. Please stop dumping all the parenting responsibility on me.

Me

Also, leave the frig alone, that is my jurisdiction, not yours.


(Hmmm, yeah, this one is still a little fresh...)

My vent - why can't people do the job they are paid to do? I am so tired of cleaning up other peoples mistakes. I should be getting their paycheck to.

This is sooo me. But, I've decided that my irritability is slightly entertaining to my friends, so I'm not going to try to change it any time soon.

Girl, I hear ya! We had 3 cats when I was pregnant with Rachel, and the litter boxes were kept in the back guest room, which was going to be turned into the nursery. Of course he said he'd clean the boxes because I wasn't supposed to. Imagine my disgust when I walked in that room one day to start moving things around and found piles of little kitty gifts on the floor that he hadn't picked up (and they were there because he was slacking on cleaning the boxes).

Dear Body Of Mine,

Please stop failing me and requiring so much extra sleep lately. Please tell your immune system to kick it up a notch, because this feeling like crap stuff is not ok. Also tell mouth to stop eating comfort food and uterus to stop with the fibroid crap. Tell hair to stop falling out at my temples and in contrast, tell chin to quit sprouting new fresh reminders that I am turning into a witch.

Lastly, I'm very annoyed that you let the eyes get so bad that I have to use a magnifying mirror now! This is ridiculous. You are only 35, body!!! Quit falling apart!

Sincerely,

the very young soul living in you

[littlekiwi]

Could have written about 75% of Brook's post ^^^^^ except change the age to 28.

Dear Motorcycle Driver,

You hit my car while I was parked at the safest part of the road and then scurried to get away. I know that you don't have a license by the way you were wearing no helmet and only a pair of slippers and you're never gonna pay me for the damage, I know you were shocked when I pulled out my hair brush and pretended it was a gun, so yeah, I have your right slipper, if you need it back I'm just around the village.

Sincerely,
A Very Tired Mother

[carrie1977]

Dear Husband of mine,

Please stop telling people "I just bought her a new car!" anytime I mention something we need. Last time I checked, both of our names are on the purchase agreement. Aren't we a team?

Your wife
(BTW, there is an "i" in there if we aren't a team. Husband does not have an "i". Just sayin')

[Kjersti]

Dear Teenager,

9:26pm is not the best time to tell me you need to bring a dessert tomorrow to class!! I'm supposed to be scrapping - not baking!!

Love, Mom

Yeah, based on my 13 year old son, this doesn't improve with age.

Dear co-worker, just because something is hard to figure out does not make it a "legal issue" that you should send to me. You do your job and I'll do mine.

Dear Coworkers

I know working in a doctors office in the winter / flu season if tough, but get your s**t together and do your job and I'll do mine. I don't want to do things just because you ignore them and say -- "Oh, I'll leave it for her to do because I didn't have time". I'm calling BS on that! Also coworkers that are the same age as me, how did you ever make it to this age being so stupid and illiterate most of the time! IF YOU WORK IN A DOCTORS OFFICE, FOR PETE'S SAKE AT LEAST KNOW THE MEDICAL TERMINOLOGY AND MAKE YOURSELF LOOK SOMEWHAT SMART -- IF NOT GOOGLE IS YOUR BEST FRIEND -- LOOK IT UP! And also just because I am computer savvy doesn't mean I am going to fix EVERY freaking computer issue! You pay IT - Have them fix it or pay me what the "Practice Manager" makes and I'll gladly take over all those above duties that are not mine or delegate them to the correct persons!

Sincerely,
The ("expected") mess fixer extraordinaire!
I should poop pixie dust for all this magic I am suppose to fix
