Whine, bitch, moan, whatever.
Mine: I have an annual checkup this morning. Amongst the things I need: bloodwork (fasting) and a tetanus booster. So that means ... I'm starving and get to be sore all afternoon/evening/week.
Also, R decided getting up at 5am was the way to go this morning, so we did. And I can't have any coffee. So now I'm tired, hungry, and cranky. Argh. 10am can't come soon enough!
I hate my job. So much. It sucks all the happiness out of me. I've been sending out resumes, but since August, I've only had one in-person interview and a phone interview. I need it to be Friday, like NOW. I fear I'm going to have a breakdown at work where I'll just sit and cry.
I'm slightly irritated with DH. For our anniversary, I bought him a wooden watch; something he should have known better than to wear while doing yard work/cleaning the gutters. Well, he did those things and broke one of the links, but didn't tell me until last night. It can be fixed, but why did he try to hide it from me. Didn't he think I was curious why he wasn't wearing it ever? Brat.

I'm over this month. The floor fiasco at our house (still no stain -- he was at the house at 11 p.m. last night still working though when H went over to drop off some boxes), having it be dead at work and still getting lots of pressure to "sell sell sell!" when it isn't my personality to do that. I'm going to make the boys clean up the house, get rid of some boxes sitting around and we're going to set up our tiny tree and try to enjoy the rest of the holiday season without stressing, but that is also not my personality.

Can a lurker join in? DH and I decided to make an offer on a house, and we looked at it for the second time on Sunday. Well, I logged into the MLS system this morning and it appears that the house is under contract. Ugh. I'm so sad because I totally pictured us in this house and there is nothing else on the market right now that I'm loving.
My extended family is driving me crazy. Here's the most recent... The adults do a gift exchange where we buy a $5 gift and put them all in a pile and take turns drawing numbers, etc. Well, now my cousins want to do a gift exchange for our kids so I need to buy a gender neutral kids gift. The problem? The kids range from an 8 year old boy to a 3 year old girl. What the heck am I supposed buy besides candy? The kids all get gifts to open from their great grandma, do they really need more crap?
I have overkilled my Christmas Menu like usual. My grocery list is now a mile long and I'm annoyed. I still refuse to cut anything..I want it all..lol.
My MIL asked me to pick her up some plastic baggies on my lunchbreak. Fine request and all but she only likes a certain kind, in a certain brand in a certain size. This small town grocery store has two options for plastic baggies, non of which will meet her demands. I know this already, but I will check anyways.
I can't wait until Hondurican gets back from his roadtrip tonight. H and I have our plan prepared. We're not out to get him, but sh*t will go down by his own admission. I feel like a horrible person being excited about this, but hey, I wasn't the one that chose to roadtrip three states away. Sometimes it's all about the reality check.
Dairy I cannot wait to hear how things pan out with Hondurican. So yeah, I think I'm more horrible.
I don't know how you guys can put up with all these students. The last two seem like total turds.
It's complicated..lol. Our first two were pretty amazing. The third one (Kranikan II) was okay. He just realized farming wasn't his tea and REALLY wanted to go to school instead. H and I let him go as long as the program we work with sent us a replacment. Kranikan II was an okay kid. Not the best worker (very spoiled) and lacked a lot in personality which made him hard to live with. However, H and I really worked with him and he stayed he'd probably been just fine.
The replacment is the problem. They actually sent him from another farm because he had issues working on a large farm and dealing with so many people. Yeah, turns out it's him. He's not doing much better on our smaller farm with less people. He can be funny and charming but he also thinks he's awesome and doesn't listen to other people and has the ideal that his way is the only way. He also like to think that his 2 years of college makes him more intelligent than the those of us who have been in the trenches for 15plus years/40 years/all our lives. He also is very good at begging to get what he wants/talk in circles until we give up..lol..it's annoying. We have however found our groove in dealing with him...as in...a lot of letting him do it, doing it wrong and then showing him the way it should be done. Kind of a reverse psych in humility. We also have to watch our backs because while he's nice enough in day to day life, he will lie to look good, get his way etc. Which is something management on his previous farm pointed out (he threw other workers under the bus who were doing their jobs). Around here, there's only 4 of us and we all know better/know what happened so we just let him play out his little head games and send him back to work.
I also whine about them on here more than I should. It just happens to be my only outlet. The day to day life isn't bad at all, and we really do appreciate the help no matter how good or bad. Awesome is always better but bad help is sometimes better than no help. Some of it is also culture adjustment, which I realize but doesn't come out on here too often either. All in all it's been a great program and a great experience...there's just always going to be issues with a good share of the students. We've come to embrace it.

Here's an odd complaint - where's my period? This is my first cycle off the pill. I'm usually regular as clock work whether I'm on or off the pill. Will I'm about 4-5 days late and it's driving me nuts.

My FIL apparently looked at the floor (probably this morning, since he's on kid-duty two back yards away from the new house today) and said that there's still a lot of work left on the floor and that it's about on target considering the guy has been working only part-time on it for 3 weeks.
I have a work Christmas thing tomorrow after work with my new boss and I'm considering making my H and his BFF come pick me up (with kids in tow) so I can have a drink. I'm very much a "any drink and I don't drive" type because I never drink so any alcohol hits me hard.
I had my 3rd migraine in 2 weeks yesterday. I think my hormones are just adjusting after DD finally. I'm so tired of having a whole day ruined and living in fear I'll wake up with one.

-Book about Christmas. A 3 yr old can be read to, an 8 yr old can read it. Gender neutral. -Christmas stickers -Glow stick necklaces (safe and fun for all ages) -Bouncy balls -Silly hats/reindeer antler headband
These are all great ideas, but I would still be pissed bc I don't want any more of that junk in my house (with the exception of the book)
I am so glad that the kids gift exchange finally died a long hard death in DH's family. It was awful.
O the d&r front, I am irritated that nothing is on the market to look at right now. I totally understand why and don't blame anyone,but I am irritated that we haven't found a house yet. I want to move NOW. Andplusalso, we will probably pay quite a bit more looking in the spring. I was hoping someone with a perfect household die or get transferred or divorced or something in December so we could get an awesome deal.
F you, Instagram. I am so pissed that they are being douches. I've met some super cool people on there, but I am pretty sure I am going to delete my account.

I agree, I don't want the junk either. I just got back from Target and I'm pretty proud of myself. I got one of those snow block makers --like what you use to build an igloo/fort/wall. Literally any age can use a snow toy right?
I'm supposed to leave for Orlando in two days. My 4-year old work up puking and now she looks miserable and a fever is starting. The kennel we usually keep out 2 dogs just called to say that someone brought in a sick dog and we should reconsider another form of boarding. WTF

So glad we have one of these today because I am so frustrated. I got this fantastic idea last night to re arrange my bedroom. So today I took all my clothes and accessories out of the room and took out the one dresser and both night stands, moved the mattress and box spring against the closets and took out the bed frame. Went to move our long dresser and **CRUNCH** the freaking foot breaks off. The thing weighs three time more than I do so it almost toppled forward and the attached mirror would have broken. I sat on my floor for awhile thinking *oh shit what do I do, this is is only maybe 18 months old. My husband is going to kill me!* I called the furniture company and with no problems they said they would send us a new leg but it will take a week. So once I had that problem solved I told my husband who says "Oh, that broke when we moved (almost a year ago), guess I should have told you not to move it". Ugh! Currently I am putting my bedroom back together the way it was and praying that the dresser doesn't topple onto us while we're sleeping. :-(
I'm kind of emotional right now and feeling really sensitive about my 31st birthday coming up. Logically I know it's not old or the end of anything, but I'm just feeling sad about milestones I didn't reach and family that is gone. ::big sigh::
Yesterday I was at Walgreens and some items were on sale with a bonus card. I told him that I didn't have a bonus card, but that I would sign up for one. He has me enter my phone number and then tells me how surprised he is that I'm not in their system and asks did I ever drop off film or anything?? Like it's the weirdest thing that I don't shop at Walgreens with all the other drug store chains everywhere.
Whatever. Point of the story here: I'm entering info to sign up for the bonus card and I have to enter my birthday. He says, "enter it with 4 digits for the year, so 1978" I'm sure it was an EXAMPLE, but yet I was so irrationally upset that he just added 4 years onto my age. Hurmph.

I think he gets to move all the furniture when the replacement leg comes!

When i turned 30 a few months ago, i bitched and whined about it a lot. It still bothers me, to be honest. Lots of (older) people were all "its no big deal, 30 isn't that old". They can all suck it! 30 is really freaking old and I reserve the right to moan about it all I want! So, long story short, I hear you! Pity party for 2!

Have you POAS?
Nah, unlikely. Only one time sans contraception and it was like 2 days ago.

Another complaint. I have masters swim tonight and it is supposed to be 35 with a possibility of rain. Yo. I'm hardcore and all, but 35? Someone kick my butt into going - I'm not feeling motivated.

I'm turning 30 in a few months and am totally freaking out, so I understand too! To me, 30 has always symbolized being a "real" adult, so I feel like I should have my life together a lot better than I do!
today was supposed to be the 1st day of 4 work days w/o my manager in the office. note that i said WAS. ugh, he was in the office when i got in. :-6
only good thing about it was that our VP gave him a hard time when we all had lunch together, saying "what are you doing here? didn't i just wish you happy holidays yesterday?!" you can bet your last $ that our VP won't be in the rest of the year after today.

I am glad we have insurance, but honestly, it kind of sucks. It's a high deductible HSA plan. We have to put all the money in plus pay for me; H's employer contributes nothing except for covering his individual premium.
So, not only will having this baby cost my $2500 deductible, paid in full by us, since it falls over 2 years I'm on the hook also for everything the ob doesn't include in their "global fee". So far that includes $250+ for lab work, and $275 I was just billed for the initial visit plus $190 for the ultrasound. And I've had more lab work they haven't billed for yet.
Add to that the fact that we'll probably also reach our family deductible of $5000 by the time they bill for baby's room/board etc (we've been warned to expect that) and I'm pretty sure I'm not paying that much less than my uninsured friends did.
Oh, and our cost for this great insurance will triple when we switch to a family plan in March. Yay.

We're in the same boat, except R's employer matches our HSA contributions. Well, and our deductible is $7000 (as a family, not per person).
Fortunately, we're generally pretty healthy people and so our HSA is full-enough that we can cover our full deductible. I don't know what we'd do if that weren't the case.
