Ultimate Venting Thread 2

[Armywife84]

Rant:

I don't have the energy to work or deal with people today. Maybe I'll just mentally check out for the duration of the work day.

Going to try something different and offset some of my negativity with some positive facts:

1. Without trying, I've dropped a dress size. Suppose it's due to the stress I've been under lately.

2. My lovely, red Cambridge Satchel backpack will arrive in time when I start uni next week. I got it engraved with my initials.

Loads to complain about here too, but I like your style J! So here's my positivity: our landlord is moving to Florida so he's going to rent his gorgeous home to use relatively cheaply.....plus dh was helping groom sort out highlandwear for that flipping wedding, and the shop manager noticed how much knowledge he had about it, they got talking and he wants to interview dh for a FT job in a nearby town! (dh is a musician, unpredictable income, ft job would be amazing). So as that's 2 major areas of life about to change I am anticipating a third (always comes in threes!) and I'm praying it's a baby!

Oh Cat, I'm so pleased for you!!! DH is getting an interview; he's got it in the bag!

Rant:

1. Work was a nightmare. One of the other workers was so stressed she accidentally ran into the wall. Poor dear.

2. I went to Wal-Mart (like Tesco) and saw at least 3 bumps.

Some positivity:

1. For every bump I saw, I threw a frozen alcohol drink mix in my trolley. And it's round ovulation.....oops!

Vent:

Former pregnant cow brought her newborn into work again. Once again, I tried to run away but she caught me and showed him off. I put on a show for a minute then turned around to leave. It didn't hurt as much as last time, but I still felt bothered.

Positivity:

DH and I had a McDonald's date. Classy, eh?

I had a break down today when I discovered the money we got from our move has been pissed away. I haven't had time to eyeball the bank account as I've been working constantly...but all that money not accounted for.

With work, uni starting up, and whatever else swirling on my plate, I just lost it. A person can only take so much.

Hey J,

I hope everything starts looking up for you. I know what it's like to have your stomach drop after reviewing finances and wondering where the hell it went. If you need a virtual shoulder, pm me!

I don't really have much of a vent. Going back to work tomorrow after our annual Florida vacation. I really don't want to go back to work, but I feel like this vacation really rejuvinated me. I was past the stressed out point at work and needed to get away from everyone for a week. I am so glad I did. We stayed at his grandmother's place to save on hotel accommodations. To be able to come and go as we please with a fenced in pool in the back yard was enough for me to unwind. I even got a little sun, which I don't really do too much. I have a very fair complexion and burn very easily, so I have to be careful with sun exposure. I am looking forward to going back already!

That's where you've been!! I've sort of missed you. I may take you up on the PM as I may need some ideas. I've started with a budget book to stay organized with it. It will take a bit of work, but hopefully I'll get there.

Few Rants:

1. It the whole day at uni. Guess who couldn't find her umbrella? I looked rather pathetic running along the courtyard ducking under buildings to avoid rainfall.

2. While I was in the library minding my business, a heavily pregnant sat across from me. Seriously? Can she not take online courses?

3. My face is broke out beyond repair. None of my acne medicine is getting the job done. I suppose I'm going to have to drive 45 minutes to Nashville to see a dermatologist.

Positivity:

I got my Cambridge satchel today and it is gorgeous!!!!

Ahhh, that's better.

Nothing like a new bag to chase the blues away eh Army?
I want a pic! Xxx

 

[uwa_amanda]

Just when I thought it was safe for me to say I haven't had any vents or rants lately...

I actually got invited to a freakin baby shower. Okay I don't do baby showers. I am in no mood to be around pregnant coworker and watching everybody coo over her freakin belly and all. I told my other coworker that I am going to send a gift through somebody but I ain't going...that is if I can even handle going to the baby section to look for anything. I thought I was over this TTC thing.

 

[wristwatch24]

Can I join this thread?

I don't really have a rant today, but something that happened that bothered me.

I had an ultrasound today to check my follicles, and I was sitting in the waiting area, and a pregnant woman came in with her husband to have an ultrasound. I actually started CRYING because of how unfair it is that we're here for the same procedure but for opposite reasons. :'(

Then I got into the room and the ultrasound person was like "So you're having some abdominal pain?" I'm like "Um, no...I'm here to have my follicles checked and measured in my ovaries." It was so awkward and unnecessary if she had just looked at the freaking paper! She made me feel like an idiot!

Something positive, though:
Apparently I had some good follicles because when she called across the street to my doctor he told her to send me over there so the nurse could administer the trigger shot! So time to BD!

 

[Armywife84]

JM- I can muster up a picture, possibly tomorrow with better lighting.

Amanda- Ugh, I don't dare set foot in a baby shop....not even in a 10 ft radius, if I can help it. I'd send DH out for whatever card and a gift card so she can get items she needs.

Wristwatch- Welcome! I too would've burst into tears at the sight of a pregnant one while going to get fertility testing or treatments.

------Few more gripes----

1. I saw on SIL's (I hate) pinterest that she has adopting a baby on her bucket list. Too bad the twat doesn't have a clue as to what that entails and costs. She doesn't have to as she has first round of Clomid twins month 13 of TTC and an oopsie from last year.

I'm not knocking the idea of her adopting, it's just that they can't afford to feed the 3 mouths they have plus her ungodly amount of student loans she owes. To sum it up, she's an idiot.

2. Felt rather out of my element at uni. I felt as if I should be at home raising a baby.

Vent: Not to sound like I'm repeating myself as I've mentioned this is another forum but just had an MC saturday after finally falling BFP after 3 years at 5 weeks pregnant. Was the first BFP we had in the whole 3 years which made us that much more attached to it right away. The actual vent part of this post is the straw to break the camels back, friend of mine in town is due in 3 weeks. Was really happy thinking that the awkward painful feeling of going to see the newborn, that I stupidly promise I would go see, would be gone since I was finally BFP. Nope, gonna hurt to see the LO if not even more than before the MC.

positive in a disturbing way: DH is mourning over the MC as bad as I am. The reason I find it's a good thing is because it shows that this means just much to him about us creating a family as it does to me.

So sorry Tami I'm repeating myself here but we lost our LO at 6+2 a year ago so I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. Although you sound amazingly strong which I am in awe of

I definitely found this, sometimes the most wonderful things can come out of things so terrible, and DH and I have definitely been closer and more determined with TTC since we had out MC, and to see him crying with me made me realise I wasn't in this alone. I'm glad you have each other!

Is there no way you can get out of going to see friends LO, does she know of your LTTTC?

 

[Just_married]

Dh got the job!!!

 

[tamithomas]

StephieB: I would find a way to get out of it, but we live in a very small town so I wouldn't be able to avoid them even if I tried so I'm figuring, get the sting over fast and early so that if we bump into them at the stores the major sinking feeling of seeing the LO for the first time will be over with already and I'll be aloud to ignore the stroller since I had already met it. Wish I live in a big city like New York where it's almost impossible to bump into someone

 

[StephieB]

How about when you see the baby, recoil in horror and cover your mouth at the sight of it, the mother will be so offended she won't want you anywhere near her child for a long time

....although unfortunately thats probably not the friendliest route around it..

Dh got the job!!!

Whats that you were saying about a positive change about to come?? good on him, hope he's going to use his first wage to take you and Corrie out to celebrate!

Tami, i am really sorry to hear that!

Hi! I really need to vent.

Will be having a festivity of sorts on Sunday where relatives and family gather, visiting each other's home.

Ever since I got married, it's been a stressful event year in year out as one after another baby keeps popping up except from me.

This month alone, 2 babies and 2 pregnant, one of which is my own elder sister.

I don't resent the babies nor the pregnant ones but I hate the influx of questions and insensitive remarks that will come from other relatives. The 'when's-your-turn', the shoving of babies into my arms for baby-dust luck, the rubbing of my hand onto pregnant bellies for baby-dust luck, and other 'tips'.

I wish me and DH can just be invisible on that day.

What should be a happy festivity turns out always to be a stressful one for me.

My DH just had a fit because... drum roll... his man vitamins smell bad! Nevermind all the painful and embarassing investigations I have had to go through so far, it´s all about him and his aversion to the only b¤¤¤¤y thing he has to do, take the vitamins! That I bought for him! Grrrrrrr!

...and he just insisted on ironing my white linen trousers (so I won´t look like a ´tea bag´) and ended up ironing some yellow gunk on them. Thanks. If I wasn´t so mad I would laugh!

 

[Armywife84]

JM- So pleased for you!! Your DH can have a proper 9-5 job and be a sexy Scottish rocker on the side.

Tami- So sorry to hear of your loss and you had to come back here.

Rants:

1. I hit myself in the eye with a blow dryer, now it's all puffy.

2. I look at my homework today and realize that I need the textbook. In the lecture yesterday he said he didn't teach anything from the book, thus rendering pointless to purchase it!! Now, I have to drive to uni's bookstore and shell out $235 for a book. Of course my book stipend won't come in right away.

3. I've been telling DH to clean up the spare bedroom. It looks like a complete wreck. Today I could barely get supplies out of the closet. When he gets home, he will properly clean it and I will supervise.

Men, when they ask something of you, you had better complete the task on time. But when I ask something of him, he just drags his feet until I start telling him off.

 

[StephieB]

$235 for one book?!!! is it made of gold?!
