What's annoying right now?

[Tracyfish]

This stupid summer cold...because sweating all day isn't enough torture so let's add a stuffy nose and watery eyes to it.

That's my venting for the day...what's yours?

[Darcy Baldwin]

Having really bad dreams about one of your kids that you just can't shake off

[Tracyfish]

That's never good Darcy. Sorry

Yes! Totally this! I've had my cold/allergies all week and its super annoying not being able to breathe

[gracelikerain]

LOL My kids! They can't get along for twenty minutes without door slamming and yelling.

I'm so ready for school to start!!

[emmasmommy]

it's not a good day, where would you like me to begin?

[Valgal]

Right now? My ds will NOT stay away from his iPod because my dh let him friggin' 'jail break' it. I didn't know that 'jail breaking' meant you can dl every app for free. Not only does this sound wrong to me, he's on it even MORE than usual.

[Stacey42]

The pool... oh where to begin on the pool.

It's one of those Intex easy set pools, with the poles, not the blow up ring. It's been various shades of green since mid July when temps started hitting the 90s daily. The pump keeps getting air in it somehow & I have to assume it's leaking water, since the water level drops below the intake valve (2 feet) whenever we refill the pool.

But I can find no evidence of a leak. Losing 2 feet of water in about 2 days ought to at least leave some dampness somewhere wouldn't you think?

It's been driving me nuts for weeks now!

[ColleenSwerb]

Stacy, if the leak is in the bottom and towards the middle, it might be seeping into the ground under the pool. Then you'd have no evidence of the leak elsewhere.

My darling husband. He's taken charge of ordering shirts for our family trip to Ireland. We want green shirts. He just called to ask me what color I wanted. I said, "green". He said, "well, what kind of green". So I asked if there was a swatch online or something, so I could pick which green. 10 minutes later, he's mad that he has to email the guy to ask for swatches and that I'm being "so difficult". Excuse me for not wanting to end up with effing lime green shirts.

Also, I'm aware the hormones may be blowing this anger out of proportion. LOL!

[KateD]

My out of control downloads folder. I've been good about unzipping my digial purchases and "putting them away", but all the other little things have been piling up. It's a real mess!

[Darcy Baldwin]

my new haircut. I hate it. And I hate that I didn't argue harder not to pay for it. Took me 2 years to grow it out...and now I have to start all over. I'm not even vain about my hair..but ugh - it made me cry.

[heathergw]

my internet... it's been wonky since we got back from vacation and super slow... I need my social online outlet!!!!

[emmasmommy]

insurance companies.

[SweetMelissa]

My husband. He has been giving me a really hard time lately about volunteering at church. I do 2 and a half hours on Monday & 5 hours on Wednesday (but my mom drives me so I have dinner with her and then do bible study so I don't get home until 7:30/8pm). He thinks I'm wasting my time and spending way too much time at the church. This is the last week for VBC. I don't see why its such a big deal now.

[*Celeste*]

here's my work vent...
the heat at work. ugh. it is stifling.
having to be at work.
my stupid boss who is on vacation yet still on his computer - even though he said he wasn't going to be.
interns that make meetings on the 1/2 hour so it wrecks two whole hours of your day.

[adrianka]

Not much reasons for venting right now (*knocks on wood*) except my limitless ability to clutter my place... And even though I took a day off today to de-clutter and managed to get up early, I haven't done much so far (it's 3 pm by now)... Honestly, wasting away a day of vacation like this is a proof of foolishness beyond measure!

Other than that, I'm annoyed by Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix... Reeading all 7 of them and the same thing is happening as years ago - love the first four, am bored to tears by the fifth... Why oh why did she try to turn charming kiddo books into a teenageomance-meets-everything-but-fun-fantasy-saga thing? :-(

[cardinalskate]

Me. I am annoying myself. I'm so worried about the logistics of my daughter going to kindergarten, which is 2 years away!! We have preschool all figured out, but I'm not sure what I'm going to do about kindergarten. Hmm.

Yes! This exactly! And my left ear has been plugged for several days and I feel like I'm in a tunnel all the time. Ugh!

[Jengerbread88]

When your baby has a tummyache that won't go away, and there's nothing you can do to make it better

[newfiemountiewife]

The weather. The highs have been in the low 50s for weeks. And we've had about 10 days with sun since June 1st. It's depressing. The kids are wrecking my house because they can't get outside. I need the sun!

[KristinCB]

I had to come home from seeing my sister and her family boooo. wish we could have seen each other longer.

[rach3975]

Where to start? It's been that kind of summer so far. Mostly my kids, who need me EVERY SINGLE MINUTE. Someone's hungry, someone needs to be changed or taken to the bathroom, someone is hitting/being mean to/taking toys from someone else....argh! It's all made 10x worse by me feeling overwhelmed by all the other things I need to do that have deadlines but that I don't have time or help to do.

I just sat the kids down in front of a video, gave myself this 5 minute computer break, and now have to go get to work.

[ColleenSwerb]

My family.
I'm in charge of planning our big Ireland trip. People gave me things they wanted to do (Waterford Crystal, the Giants Causeway, Guiness, etc). We're also going to go to the town/area where my grandfather was born and lived.
So I finally nail the itinerary this weekend with Jordan's help. I send it to my family today. I set aside a whole day to spend in the area where my grandfather lived. My dad says that's not enough time and he wants 2 days. There was no mention of this prior. Now I look like some a-hole who's ignoring our heritage to see the rest of Ireland. We only have 9 days and I made an itinerary that captures the entire country. But that's not good enough. BAH!

[MandaT]

Monday morning virus scan, that takes HOURS & makes things lag... so we're off to run errands for the next SEVERAL hours to allow it time to catch up.

[ColleenSwerb]

Amanda, why don't you set it to run overnight once a week? Like leave your computer on sunday night and let it run overnight so it's done by the morning?

[MamaBee]

Two words... potty training...

Okay, I'll add five more words...

With stubborn 4.5 year old...

[kscwgirl]

my boss. my husband's inability to shut a drawer or cabinet or find a trash can.

[marlathrall]

I got a sunburn at the lake yesterday. My lips are swollen, my forehead tender, and my shoulders bright red. Shirts with one strap may result in very funky tan lines.

[LeeAndra]

11 year old dogs that think they have to go out to pee every 2 hours
2 year olds that run away when asked to come to Mama
broken dishwashers
waiting to hear back abt whether DH gets to be a TA at school
waiting to hear back abt whether DH gets a promotion at work
deciding if we're going to move

having to throw an email mini-fit in order to get my dad to take 2 hours off work to celebrate DD's birthday
cute Gymbo clothes on Ebay that I shouldn't buy

[mummytothree]

This humidity, my children whining for lunch and the baby has pooped like 7 times already today and I can smell that he has AGAIN!!!!!

[aggiefamily]

Laundry laundry laundry! I will be so glad when the boys go back to school and only wear one set of clothes a day.

I have a couch full of clean laundry waiting to be folded. Bleh! Then I have to put the boy's names on every stinking school supply. Yes, that is every pencil and crayon and glue stick. Every. Little. Thing.

[Jen22]

The movers are here today to pack us up for the big move to New Mexico. Problem is - it's not movers (plural). They only sent one guy! I wanted to be done early enough to go to the fair with my family, but ... I'm not sure that one, lone (somewhat oldish) guy is gonna be done it time!!! *sigh**grumble-grumble*

I did ours this weekend. I haaaaaaaaaaate it. Drives me batty.

[gina329]

I'd have to say having this sinus infection and muscles aching and the same off and on headache that i've had all week.

[nikkiARNGwife]

Having gotten right into the middle and best part of the book I'm reading and then breaking my kindle..so now I'm trying to read it on my phone until my replacement kindle gets here and cannot stand it.

DH who is off today and instead of doing any of the MILLION things that he needs to get done around here b/c he's NEVER off, is still in bed at noon watching movies and sleeping. UGH!!!!

[heathergw]

looks like we have to buy a new router and modem, sigh... never-ending expenses

[Joana1n]

The clutter that is consuming every last corner of my house, and the lack of skills to organize what needs to be kept and toss out the rest.

Oh, and the never-ending heat wave that's going to get worse before it ever gets better.

[aggiefamily]

The hum of the cotton gin a few street over. It isn't loud (thankfully we are far enough away) but is a constant hum we will hear for the next couple months.

[crecia27]

four letter words - heat & diet! I could drop kick them both into next year!

[MamaBee]

a 4 yo who is playing me.... haven't you heard? don't mess with da mama!

[jaylensmom]

ummm my boss who has been off for 3 months and me having to pickup the workload...not that i minded the first 2.5 months but wow it can be overwhelming when you are not even the person who should be doing the work but the person who should be doing it is not capable of doing it and can't really be trusted...urgh rant over...

[emmasmommy]

everything.

[Gemma]

The idiots who are making London look stupid on the news!! I dislike living in UK anyway and people acting like that doesn't help! Grrr!!

[AmberK]

this zit that is on the side of my chin. It was healing up and another started forming RIGHT NEXT TO IT making the whole thing look nasty. IM NOT A TEENAGER ANYMORE. Why do I have to still deal with zits?
