DD still doesn't have her damn bed in one piece. It has been a total cluster and the service dept has totally dropped the ball. Kid can't enter her own room as it has the bed in pieces with the boxes. She is living out of laundry basket and sleeping with us.
I woke up in the middle of the night to her watching Dr. Who on the Kindle that I keep on my bedside table. Worst part is she is skipping ahead of where I am. Is is sad I am worried my 4 year old is going to give me spoiler alerts?
(2) Granted, I don't KNOW people on GBCN, but there are a couple girls who got divorced after me, or right around the time I did. They are engaged already. I don't know why this bothers me...mostly because I have taken my sweet ass time on deciding to re-marry again or not. But for me, it doesn't seem like the right time. And it is shocking that others already have a new ring on their finger.
Flameful maybe?
This is different, but for a while after having DD, I was always shocked by people IRL and on the bump who were pregnant with #2 while I was still undecided about whether I wanted to have a second one at all. For a while, I was struggling to just keep my shit together with 1 kid in the house. It was totally irrational, but I wanted to grab everyone who was having a second and scream "how in the hell did you decide you could manage it?"
My soon to be sister in law did something I'm still pretty pissed about. I'll liken it to tattling on me for something petty to my fiance (her brother). My fiance and I hashed it out and we're fine, but I'm still really annoyed with her.
It's made me feel like I have to watch my back with her and that she really isn't as thrilled about my relationship with her brother as I thought she was.

I just found out last night at my dad's birthday dinner that his PKD has taken a nose dive and his kidneys are in failure. In the next few months he will begin dialysis and is being placed on a list to receive a transplant.
I feel totally blind-sided by this; though I've known for years that he has PKD, this latest turn of event has been a total shock to the system. My grandmother (80 next year) has it also and has not had to do any of this.
I'm a total daddy's girl and this shit just sucks.

My boss just dropped a bomb on me that she wasn't allowed to authorize my work at home days. When I accepted this job, I did so partly because of that flexibility. It started out at 2 days/week, but it's been one for most of the time. Now it's none. I accepted a very small raise and made a lateral move but figured this extra benefit helped make up for that. I am so annoyed now. I don't know what to say, she sent me this is an email so I have some time to think about it but I don't want to wait too long to respond either. Obviously I can't quit my job over this (nor do I really want to) but I feel that I was duped.

This new year has already started off pretty crappily. And since I'm not doing anything for either of the holidays (I cannot fast, I get incredibly sick), I'm pretty sure I'm going to me smited sometime this year.
Smited? Smote? Whatever. Fire and brimstone and all that jazz.
I keep seeing people in that striped Target shirt Jenny posted about a few weeks. It is universally not flattering. And it looks cheap.
I am going to try to go on a spending freeze for at least two weeks. I should probably block emails from stores. Those ads touting 60 and 70% off are my weakness!

Did you get it in writing?
I would consider going above her if she promised you something she didn't have the authority to deliver on.

Yes, I have an email chain indicating this would be the arrangement.
I'm just sad because I know I need to fight for this, and yet I know it's going to cause problems or cause me to be looked at in a different light (as problematic or whatever). Not a great situation to be in you know.

This. That's a pretty serious thing to backtrack on. You have every right to be pissed/annoyed/upset/shocked/insertemotion.

Do what feels right to you and don't let anyone else steer you differently. DH says he's glad his first relationship post divorce didn't go far b/c he realizes that it would have been too soon.
My vent is that work made a huge ordeal about people working this weekend for end of year and I heard this morning that basically only my division came in.

Some guy at work today asked me why I wasn't married yet too. I told him that it is all me and I am taking my time. He seemed shocked and said he married his 2nd wife the day his papers were final.
IS THIS NORMAL? Do people really not think twice?
My divorce lawyer was an awesome older guy, and he told me the day I got divorced, "I hope you don't become a repeat client...I see it all the time." That has stuck with me.
I got remarried 13 years after my divorce.
Yeah, considering how the divorce got me emotionally ran over by a truck, I would take my time, and I did.

I found out that it CAN be approved, but paperwork has to be submitted to the president and she said she would prefer not to do that. What?! I said yes, the paperwork needs to be submitted.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to have surgery on my ankle where I've developed compartment syndrome after my injury last month. I go to the ortho tomorrow so we'll see what they say but I'm pretty pessimistic after researching it online. I finally find an exercise that I love (softball) and I was out before the season even started.

I would think the person who would be looked on in a different light is your supervisor. It sounds like she screwed up and is expecting you to suffer for it.

Apparently you're not who I thought you were because this makes no sense since the person i thought you were is married. Now I'm curious. Would you be so nice as to pm me your old s/n?
Hmm, I don't think I have anything to vent or aw about that I haven't already posted. Life is pretty mundane currently
total aw - it's my birthday! h bought me s4 of big bang theory, 2 magazines, and 26 lindor chocolates. he wanted to buy me an ipad, but i asked him to wait until christmas, ha. if i'd actually get off the couch and shower we're going to hit up a few wineries then go out to dinner.

Do you have the paperwork? I would submit it and include the emails from your supervisor where she stated that would be the arrangement.
If you don't have the paperwork I would be firm and not back down about this. She needs to submit the paperwork.
My random- the moving to NYC post made me realize I have no idea how much we give to charities until it's tax time. It's not a regular budget item, we just give to different organizations and causes here and there throughout the year. And I honestly can't remember what donations DH made last year, just my own.
It's cloudy and cold looking outside. I pretty much have no desire to do anything, but sit on my couch and watch Breaking Bad all day. I simultaneously love and loathe this kind of weather.

This exactly. Your supervisor is just trying to not get in trouble but that's not your fault.
My vent: I was supposed to start training for my marathon a week ago but we flew back and I was sick so I shoved it back a few days until I was well enough to run through it. I never got well enough to run through it and anytime I tried to run I could barely make it a mile. Now I have a sinus infection and who knows when I'll get to run again. Ugh. I was already nervous and this is not helping.

WHAAAT. This is one of those instances that I wish I could carry around a Nerf bat and just hit people who are being stupid. "Oh, 'you prefer not to' follow through on your promise, on which I relied when making a career decision? [SMACK]"
No one would get hurt, because its Nerf, but maybe some sense would be instilled?
It needs to cool down here so they stop blasting the f-ing AC. Just because it's 97 outside does not mean it needs to be 65 inside. I'm tired of having an outfit I like covered with my FUAC cardigan.
