My husband is going to a bachelorette party tomorrow to Sunday. The hotel where they are staying is $600 per night. They each have their own room and they have to split the cost of the groom's room. The flight was $450. They are golfing, going to nice dinners, probably strip clubs, who knows. It will be 85 degrees there. It is pouring rain and hurricane-like here, my baby is sick, I am SO exhausted with morning sickness, and it is the busiest season at my work (which I absolutely hate these days).
I know I went to Thailand for over 2 weeks while he watched the baby and I am not at all upset he is going. It is just annoying because it will end up costing a ton and I hate the groom. He is the biggest ass ever.
Please bitch with me. I don't want to be the only Debbie Downer.

Oh yeah, I would be annoyed for sure.
I interviewed for a new job last week. I was told beforehand that I was pretty much going to get the job, blah blah. Well it turns out that there are 5 candidates and we all are interviewing with the client. I don't have high hopes that I will get it. I really wanted this job. I am miserable working for my boss. We are all miserable. She is the worst boss I have ever had.
Money is tight right now and I am starting to feel guilty about spending money on our anniversary trip. Our marriage really needs it but again, money. Ugh.

Oh man, that sounds like something I would not be thrilled with, but like you said, totally fair that he is going.
My vent is that TTC this time is turning out to be stressful for a variety of reasons. Timing, my work, DH's obsession about the age gap, my body being all crazy with long cycles.
I'm feeling down about it considering the first two pregnancies happened easily for us. I realize I'm being irrational.

Think of it as an investment. I think I should probably spend more money on things that improve our relationship. I will cross my fingers and toes for you with the job!
I've got a good one. After spending 5 weeks apart from DH, I plan a little baby-moon vacation as a treat for us. DH has emergency surgery, and complications, forcing us to extend our trip by a week (incurring a shitload of expenses). We're finally set to fly home today and WE MISS OUR FUCKING FLIGHT.

NOOOOOOOOOOO What happened?! Is JetBlue working with you??

I'm angry at the world today. I'm exhausted, I've been working a ton of overtime because we're short staffed, I wake up in the middle of the night convinced that I forgot to do God knows what, DH is pissing me off, I have a really busy weekend ahead and I feel like I haven't seen A all week.
Also, I'm weaning off of my Celexa since we're going to start TTC and it's not going well. I take it for anxiety. I miss it.

I'm tired. Dh and I have been fighting over sleep training.
And I may be losing my very comfortable part time job. That after we are just trying to get back on track money wise after working very little during bedrest, NICU and all that. And I really hate change so I'm dreading having to look for something else, especially since it's not super easy to find a part time attorney job. Ugh.

The worst part is, we are idiots. We got to the airport 45 min before our flight, thinking we had plenty of time (because the airport is so tiny - there's like, one runway). Well, they have a rule that they close the flight 60 min before take off, and they weren't inclined to make an exception, even after my emotional breakdown in the airport.
It was the last (and only) flight of the day, so we're rebooked for tomorrow.
Ick. This sounds like what Allegiant does at the St.Pete & Sanford airports. They are terrible.
So sorry you missed your flight, I hope your H is feeling better quickly!

This week at work has been so hectic and busy. I can't wait for my boss and co-worker to leave on their respective work trips. It's sooo much less stressful when they're away than before they go.
We're also having to deal with someone NOT doing their job correctly. I really want to strangle the guy or knock his head into something. WHY DO YOU THINK ABOUT THIS STUPID STUFF A WEEK BEFOREHAND? SHIPPING TO A FOREIGN COUNTRY IS A NIGHTMARE!!!!!!!!

DH had a bachelor party like this over Memorial Day weekend. It was in Atlanta, because hey, the Boston groom had never been there, so why NOT make every single person travel several states away over a holiday weekend when it's $$$$$$. And also, it was FOUR nights. At first DH's was like, oh I'm only going for two nights, three nights tops. Really? Because I had a million friends getting married this summer so I told him that if he was going for three nights, he can go ahead and multiply that by all of my friend's bachelorette parties and plan on taking the kids for equal time. That snapped him back to reality and he went for one night.
They went out to a fancy steakhouse, split the bill and each persons share was close to $500 after all the wine. And then there were the strip clubs. So. Much. Money.
Did I mention that DH was the best man in this guy's first wedding and spent $$$$$$ on his first bachelor party a few years ago? I'm obviously still bitter. However, I at least like the groom and love his new wife. And we had a blast at his wedding, I think I got some of that $$$$ back at the open bar.
I'm tired of paperwork. I love the essence of my job and paperwork sucks the life out of my soul. Also, I'm tired of the fact that everyone believes that "the buck stops here" with my position, when actually I have very little say about how my workplace functions while the corporate dudes who are so far removed from the actual work we do make all the decisions. I'm clearly headed toward being burned out, my boss is one of the national gurus on preventing/ dealing with burnout in the workplace, and I feel like nothing significant changes for us. Ironic.
In a meeting a couple of weeks ago one of the head guys flat out stated that he (and other higher ups) feel like "the younger generation" (aka anybody younger than 50) doesn't want to work as hard as they need to and don't have the work ethic that the older generation has. This was in a meeting about workplace wellness and preventing burnout throughout the organization. Later that same week his office sent out a memo to everybody detailing what the expected work breakdown is for people who have the same job title as I do. Basically a "full time" work week is expected to be 36 hours per week of "billables," an additional 4 hours of behind the scenes work/ administrative work, and 10-15 hours of committee time and meetings that are expected to take place during the lunch hour, after hours, or weekends. Uh, that was not detailed in my contract. Also, it totally felt like a slap in the face and them telling us that we are not working hard enough. Dude, I am 0.9 instead of 1.0 and am routinely working 55 hours per week minimum, not including committee time. I am not currently willing to change my view of what my job responsibilities should be. I think they need to realign what their expectations with the actual time it takes to do the work.
We've also been hemorrhaging money at home. It is all planned expenses, but I hate seeing our savings balance go down by such big leaps. And at the same time I'm itching to remodel either the kitchen or the bathroom.
Phew, I guess I needed to vent.
rikki I'd be irritated by that combination of things, too. I hope E is easy for you this weekend and that it turns out to be a good one for you as well.
@punky Awww...talk about adding insult to injury. I hope your DH is feeling better and that your return trip is uneventful, whenever that actually happens. Sorry you had such an awful trip.
Ick. This sounds like what Allegiant does at the St.Pete & Sanford airports. They are terrible.
So sorry you missed your flight, I hope your H is feeling better quickly!
I made a pretty embarrassing scene. The airport was practically empty and my husband has a damn drainage bag hanging off of him. I know policy is policy, but why are we still arguing when there's still 30 minutes left before take off? LET THE MAN ON THE DAMN PLANE!!!!
The same thing happened to my husband on Air Lingus this summer. I told him to put me on the phone and let me talk to the woman. I was so stressed for him because he needed to be in Europe that day for a deposition. No amount of begging worked.

Debbie Downer, party of 1.
Talk to your doctor. There are options, and the risks of untreated mental illness during pregnancy can far outweigh the risks of some medications.
My doctor is pretty much useless. I'm too lazy to find a new one, and I really do like him, but he knows nothing about these medications and pregnancy. Plus he knows I'm a nurse, so he doesn't really counsel me one way or the other because he thinks I know what I'm talking about. Joke's on him. I work in hospice, unless it has something to do with how much pain medication to give a dying patient, I am in the dark.
I have done some research, and while the chance of anything being "wrong" with the baby if I stay on Celexa seems to be minute, I know I would irrationally be convinced it was my fault if something happened.
I was off it when I was pregnant with A, too, but once I got pregnant and those hormones kicked in, I actually had a lot less anxiety. I do have a therapist that I see pretty regularly, so I'll talk to him about it at my next appointment.
And now I'm starting to have anxiety about my anxiety. lol
Ooooh, and, the clutter in my house is driving me nuts and making me edgy, but I'm too tired to do anything about it. So I sit here and seethe about it.

I've spent eight months dealing with the mess of my parents have made of my business and tonight I'm just tired of the BS and would like to drink my sorrows away. I had to go back through the last set of emails from them and their insanity is mind blowing.
J has been in daycare 3 days and is a sniffy, congested mess. I don't know if it's teeth or something else. He has a bit of a temp but was acting fine so I'm leaning towards teeth. Although it took forever to get him to go to sleep. He was screaming for a half hour off and on. I kept checking on him but he would return to screaming after I put him down. So I made him a bottle and he practically ripped it out of my hands to drink it. I feel like our breastfeeding relationship might be ending soon, he is just not happy nursing.
And my computer is acting weird. It better not have a virus or something.
My H has had a raging sinus infection for the past six months straight. He has been on multiple rounds of antibiotics, and nothing helps. He is in pretty much constant pain, and it is turning him into a grumpy and unhelpful parent and spouse. I know he is miserable, and I feel bad for him, but, frankly, being the only healthy parent is not so fun either. It is like a man cold that has gone on for months. He has surgery scheduled for next month that is supposed to eliminate most of the pain, and I cannot wait.
Money is tight right now and I am starting to feel guilty about spending money on our anniversary trip. Our marriage really needs it but again, money. Ugh.
Years and years ago, 2009?, DH and I were not in the best place. We HATED where we were living and were locked in a horrible lease and we both had stressful jobs that were impacting our marriage.
Against my MM judgement, I booked us five days to Italy. Worth every penny. It was exactly what we needed.

I am over being pregnant. Last time around it didn't bother me, I'm done. I am having a ton of contractions all the time. It's annoying and painful! Why can't labor just start already?!
Plus I actually know have childcare for my son. My mom is only here for a limited time. I need her here with two kids as long as possible.
I've had three cups of raspberry tea and sex tonight. Tomorrow I have my Drs appt and I'm hoping for good news. I think I'm also paranoid that I'll never go into labor since I didn't with DS. I wasn't even dilated a cm when I was induced. As of last week, I was already 4cm.

Have you tried evening primrose oil? Insert a gel cap vaginally. I did this a day or two before my water broke with DD. Supposedly it can help to induce labor.
