Lost my job today :( state your vents here.

[minismama]

I found out this morning that the DME provider (durable medical supplies) that I have worked for since practically graduating college is shutting it's doors due to bankruptcy. We don't know the actual date but they are saying either this week or next. Everyone is totally blindsided by the news. I know how lucky I have been to be able to work from home for them since moving from my hometown 3 years ago and I'm so grateful but ugh this sucks. Anyone wanna join me in leftover birthday cake, vodka and a vent session??

[dizzycooks]

I'm sorry minismama that really sucks. Will you be trying to find another gig?
My vent is that dd2 has been sttn (7-5am) for 4 nights. Tonight she is crying every 45 minutes or so. And I can't get myself to crash at 830 so I get enough rest and I know she's going to be up all night tonight.

[mamaalysson]

I'm sorry minismama! That sucks.

And dizzy, non sleeping kids are the worst. Sending sleepy vibes.

Summer is exhausting my children, and they are so over tired and cranky. I manged to get them asleep before 8 tonight, though, so hopefully they will be less crabby tomorrow.

I'm sorry mini and dizzy!

Our new house had water in the basement last week (poured in through a window well) due to all the rain and now the walls down there are all moldy so they'll get to basically start the basement over. Why they dry walled when the window well wasn't all fixed up yet I'll never know....

Probably not. For a while at least. My plan was to try for #3 next year and stop working after the baby came. So I wasn't really ready to stop yet but I don't really have much of a choice. Just a big shock I guess.

Nice! DS will crash early if given the chance, but DD is having the hardest time going to sleep when it is light. Her room is dark, everything is consistent, she just can't settle. She needs to go to bed at 6:30!

I'm sorry that this caught you off guard.that sucks.

@singformysavior will that set back your move-in date?

[gwapes]

:/ I'm sorry

[rosesandpetals]

Sorry, that really sucks.

Hope your move in date isn't too delayed sing!

[cna]

Ugh, I'm sorry about your job. That really sucks.

My vent is that it is a quarter after 1am and I can't get back to sleep. My alarm is set for 3am so we can drive 3 hours to the airport and get on plane and I am running on 2 hours of sleep. It is going to be a really long day.

[justbecause]

Oh man that sucks!
My vent is the I didn't sunscreen enough yesterday and I burned my shoulders at the beach. Also ds1 was up a ton last night because of monsters and ugh....tired and sore today.

[abs]

That stinks. I'm so sorry!

[fancynewbeesly]

My vent is this is day 7 of Reese's fever. Which means stuck inside for 7 days. She was diagnosed with pneumonia. We are starting to go stir crazy. I am jealous of everyone's summer Facebook pictures at the beach and the boardwalk as well v

[momin2013]

I'm so sorry minismama, that's a really sucky vent.

I don't really have one yet. Just that it's going to be extremely hot out all this week and I know DS will want to go to the park and it's going to suck being over there in this heat, since there's literally no shade. I'm trying to think of inside things to do this week to keep him occupied...

I'm sorry. 

Here I am venting about not wanting to go to the park when obviously it's something you guys would love to be out doing. So sorry about that; hope she's on the mend very soon!

I would be putting them to bed then, but dh gets home at 6 or 630 and I like that they can see him for a bit. Come the end of August it's all over though bedtime will be 6 or 630 again.

[dizzycooks]

cna your nearest airport is 3 hours??? I can't understand that, it sounds terrible. Good luck!

[Deleted]

fancynewbeesly I hope Reese is fever free SOON!


DH is talking to the builder today to see what the plan is. Part of me is ok with a little setback (more time to save and buy things for the new house!) and part of me is sooooo ready to be out of this tiny rental. Guess we'll see?

Hope you got some sleep cna

[penguingrrl]

I'm so sorry! That absolutely sucks.

[chatterbox]

Sorry about your job minismama.

I don't have any good vents today other than it's hot and tomorrow our water will be shut off all day

[ashb62]

I'm sorry, minismama. That really sucks!

fancynewbeesly, Hope she's feeling better soon!

[minerswife17]

So sorry minismama.

fancynewbeesly sorry. Hope Reese feels better asap!

[Deleted]

Too many vents to vent but sorry to hear that minismama and hope Reese feels better fast fancynewbeesly!

[chatterbox]

Just opened the mail and apparently my insurance company is not going to pay for my ultrasound because it is considered "experimental". WTF! I now have an bill for almost $2,000. Why does an ultrasound cost $2,000?
