Thursday rant rant rant

[Deleted]

Rant #1:  I'm glad I didn't dress like a complete slob today.  Got roped into a meeting that I wasn't planning on attending because bossman needed me to put together a presentation and get it to him since he hasn't been in for the last three days due to out of town clients.  Blerg.  Of course he told me what he wanted in said presentation with two hours notice.  I could strangle him.  

Rant #2:  My freaking MK watch is fogging up from water damage.  The manual says it's water resistant up to 10m.  So I've been wearing it to the pool and whatnot since my freaking phone wasn't holding a damn charge to save it's life.  The one day I didn't wear my watch and my phone died, I was late to something.  Found the damn e-receipt for the watch and I bought it in 2011 and so now it is outside their 2-year warranty coverage.  I've gots the sads.  

ETA:  Another rant to add.  I'm losing my freaking mind.  I cannot find my new sunglasses.  The ones that I just got a month ago with my Rx in them.  I could have sworn I left them at the IL's house because DS pointed out he didn't have his sunglasses even though it was close to 7:30 at that point and that's when I realized I didn't have mine either.  MIL texted saying she hasn't seen them.  I know I had them when I walked into their house because i had just gone to our house site and it was still bright as hell when I went.  I usually put them in the same place every time.  I've been wearing my old sunglasses until I could get back there today to find them.  Not there.  If I lost them then I guess I just won't be getting another pair of rx sunglasses until next year.  Ugggggghhhhh.

Rant 1 - I'm so over my GD foot! I've been on steroids all week, which means no drinking... which means I'm in a bad flippin mood!

Rant 2 - My favorite spot at work/on campus was on the backside of our library, over looking a lake and had rocking chairs.  I used to spend my hour breaks sitting in a rocking chair, people watching - which usually turned into a nice peaceful nap. So I say used to, because I went for my daily nap today and all the rocking chairs have been replaced with some metal POS tables and chairs that are small enough for a 5 year old to have a tea party at them. So, definitely not something this fat arse would fit in, and definitely not be comfortable enough to nap in! I might have e-mailed the grounds keeper and complained. I'm sober and tired... don't piss me off lol

My single girl condo still hasn't sold. If I fire my realtor at this point I still have to pay his 2.8% fee when it does sell, which will be like $4000...sigh. We did get an offer - decent enough offer - I countered and the woman walked over a $2800 difference. Ugh. At the end of the day if I remember right that amount of money in a mortgage is like $2 a month if that. Now it is almost September and I have to figure out how to pay the flipping mortgage on this place since we no longer have renters. Sob. Looks like the kids are going to be enjoying ramen this month and time to start selling more stuff on ebay. Please sell!!!!

My DD is driving me nuts. This kindergarten transition sucks. She is so tired at the end of the day and is so mouthy! She talks back like she is 13 and does this in the morning lately too. I've tried really hard to use calm, stern words and timeouts to try and teach respect, but today I lost my shit and told her to stop yelling at mommy (by yelling really loud at her) and go to her room - turns out yelling back gets her to shape up. Not my first way I want to get her to learn, but it got her to chill out. Nor do I really want to yell. DS impersonated me after I did it and it sounded like his roar for a lion. Gotta love almost 2 year olds who imitate all you do.

And DH is driving me insane! He keeps asking me what is wrong...well let's see - the condo won't sell, I deal with all the drama of kids most mornings and nights because you are at work and I'm dealing with a car insurance company over an accident to get the car fixed and my back still hurts from the accident. But no everything is fine and dandy. Please ask me again why I'm in a bad mood...uh. He is Mr. Positive it will all work out, but right now I'm beyond being positive and pretty much in the throws of wanting to run away from it all. I'm stressed out honey, don't you get it?! And our anniversary is Saturday. I was looking at cards for him today at lunch and came to the conclusion that I need one that says, sorry for being a shitty stressed out wife and taking it all out on you. Love, me. I know he means well, but until I report that xyz has happened, you can probably expect me to be on edge for a while.

RANT: I have been busting my ass at the gym and tracking all my food on MFP and the scale is going in the wrong direction. And do not tell me I am gaining muscle, you do not gain 4 lbs of muscle in 1 week. It is very aggravating!!!!! I have to keep telling myself everything is fine and to keep at it and I will see results but it is trying my patience (and emotional eating!)

My kids are psycho too especially my Kindie kid but my 2nd grader isn't much better. They are getting more and more manic as the evening goes on. I put them to bed at 7:30 last night and they fell asleep. It was heaven. Sorry about your condo, hopefully it will sell soon. You got one offer, you'll get another.

Rant #1: I have to go to a football game tonight and I really don't want to. I am pretty good at getting out of this shit but my husband stopped by work to get something last week and my boss offered us the tickets. Its preseason and no one wants to go to those. Plus, I am not a huge football fan, which in Pittsburgh is a huge "what!?!?!", the only sport I like is hockey.

DD went to sleep at 7:15 last night and DS being so young still goes around 7 as well. I won't lie, I enjoyed those blissfully quiet hours before I went to bed and I went to bed early too at 9. This to will pass, but while in the middle of it all, it sucks!

I'm going to get the car seat installed in 50 minutes. I'm dragging my feet. I'm excited but starting to get scared. Life is going to change so much in 6 days.

I've spent the last 2 hours watching netflix.

Ok I've been waiting 50 minutes to have my car seat installed. The officer said give me a minute. I've now given him 49 additional minutes. Geez people I just need my car seat installed.

What about a pair from warbh parker? They're releasing new styles on Monday. My husband is only eligible for glasses every 2 years, so this is a great alternative for him.

I took some pics of Michelle Williams' Louis Vuitton ad to my hair stylist. The cut she gave me looks nothing like it. Like nothing at all. It's terrible. I have no idea what picture she was looking at. She asked if I liked it. I was in shock and said that its different and I'm not sure my h will let me in the house (kidding). My h thinks I need to go back tomorrow, but there is seriously nothing they can do. It's gone. Thankfully, my hair grows quickly, but it's just so bad.

I don't understand having car seats installed. We have always just read the manual, lol.

I'm glad I went because the highway patrol showed me the correct way. I have family who says they went by the manual & they put their child in danger by installing it wrong.

I went by the manual twice and both times installed the car seat incorrectly. mrspost08 did they walk you through how they checked everything? Soooo excited for you!!!!

Yes, they did. I liked how he asked me how I would install it & then showed me why it was wrong. If we get a different seat I will go back to make sure I've put it in right just to be safe.

I'm so picky when it comes to sunglasses.  I seriously tried on every pair at LensCrafters until I found these.  But good news is MIL FOUND THEM!  They were at her house the whole time.  She thought they were hers and put them in a glass case.  I'm so freaking happy that she found them.
