I don't know if a rant thread has been created already

But I'm ranting here.  You can rant too.

I love the preschool Thad is going to.  They are so sweet and loving, the school is clean and organized, etc.  But OMG they are trying to push me over the edge.  
1. They sent home a sheet about a month ago with the paperwork they still needed for school.  Nothing was checked for Thad so I sent nothing.  Thursday, the assistant director said "Oh, we need his shot record."  I said I thought I had one at home.  She said no big deal.  I couldn't find it at home, but I called the pedi to get one.  Friday the director yelled at me for not having it! 

I brought the damn sheet today and the office workers were acting like it was a big deal that it had been missing.  While I waited for them to file it I got to hear a conversation about a little boy's outfit.  He had been dressed by his father "A PROFESSOR you know.  That is why he looks so silly.  Those men just have so much to do and are so absent-minded."  Yet, me not having a shot record I hadn't been told to provide is a mommy-failure.  Not a charming example of a PhD.......

2. Our bill is always made out to my husband.  Even though I do 90% of the stuff associated with school.  Cause, you know, women don't make money.......

The cute absentminded male PhD thing is so annoying.  I app lurked on a ML thread about a dad (a PhD!) who make a fucking ridiculous peanut butter sandwich. And the ladies were all, he is a Phd (or my phd husband does this too!) its just so cute.  WTF!? Getting a PhD is like a free ditz card for a man, but female phd's who, you know, make Pb and J's every day are not allowed to be sterotypical academics? 

OMG this is such a stupid rant.  Please rant about real things here.

I just want to curl up under a rock and hide. I don't know if I have it in me to type out everything, but I am feeling overwhelmed and ashamed for the way I am letting my grandmother treat me. But because of GG I can't just tell her to fuck off, I need her cooperation to get things sorted. And if I don't do things she likes, she will just go and undo everything I do. If I get GG into assisted living and grandma doesn't like it, grandma will remove her.

But then GG is just so depressed and it is really getting to me. All she talks about is how she is a burden and enough is enough. I keep telling her to look for the positives and not to be so negative, but she forgets I ever said anything. This happens 4-5 times a day and I just want to cry. Then she gets mad at me that I don't rest. How the fuck am I supposed to rest?! Then she wants me to get help around the house but we can't afford it. I feel bad enough buying Melody clothes when she grows out of her own clothes.

I just want to give up. I am so scared DH is losing respect for me and I can't let that happen. I just don't know what to do and I'm in a constant state of anxiety.

Why can't this country take care of their own? My great grandma has been a citizen her entire life, never missed paying taxes, never went on public assistance and never did anything wrong. On the contrary, she did above and beyond what is expected and is now stuck living on my fucking pull out couch because she is too poor to afford $3,500/month and isn't fucking disabled enough to go to the places that offer full care.

And my phone sucks and tmobile sucks.

I just hate everything today and can't even let myself feel bad or take it easy because the baby will be up from her nap soon and there is no one else but me.

I have no rants but wanted to say I had a case of sandy crotch for all of you. Literally sandy crotch.

Oh and there's some fucking biting fly or something, I got bit 5 times by that fucker.

My Receptionist sounds like complete death, like the crypt keeper if you will. I'll be pissed if I get whatever the Fuck she has

School's back in, and I've already chastised college kids twice today for smoking on my stoop/directly under my window. We're the only private building on this side of our block, and we're sandwiched by a performing arts school on both sides. So the students are not only annoying, they're dramatically so.

This morning when I came home from grocery shopping I noticed the freezer door was not closed all the way. DH had put a leftover bag of ice from the beach in there and it was in the way of the door closing all the way. All of the stuff in freezer was defrosted or on it's way. I had to throw out EVERYTHING. I called to tell him and actually hung up on him, something I rarely do. I had to throw away a lot of crap for a $1.50 bag of ice?! I could kill him.

My house is a mess. I didn't put away anything after being away for a few days and I hate packed suitcases.

And I have a crap load of stuff I want to buy from the Gap and ON but their damn check out isn't working!

I'm sorry for everyone with real rants. I have another though.

Dream job that I didn't get last year (remember my suit!?) has been reposted. I feel so defeated by the whole thing. I had been doing such a good job of moving on to this year's job market until now.

Why didn't they like me???

It could be that the person they hired bailed, not that they didn't like you, that the other person was more qualified.

Can you apply again? I don't remember the details from last time.

I was the only one they brought to the final stage of interviews.

Yes, I will apply again. But, unless there was an administration reason they didn't hire me...I don't think it will work out in my favor.

Ugh, that does suck. They should have told you the reason why. I get really aggrevated when I hear about that, I think if someone makes it to the final stages, they deserve the courtesty of a reason why they aren't chosen.

We refinanced out house a few months ago, and I did ALL of the work. All mh did was sign at the closing. Now we get emails from the guy, always addresses to DH. It pisses me off more than it should.
