Vents Anyone?

Please tell me I'm not the only one who wants to strangle her husband.  Please. 

He drives me nuts sometimes.  I love him to pieces, but there are days I just want to wring his darling little neck.

This morning he had a conniption when I asked him if he would go to the grocery store on the way home.  He got all huffy and told me he could only go  if I could be home by 5:30pm (I might able to leave my office by 5:30).  His reasoning was because he doesn't want the dog to be alone for too long.  While this is very sweet, she's just a dog and an extra 30 minutes home alone is not the end of the world.  Worst case scenario is she can't hold it any longer and pees in her crate and we have an extra load of laundry to do tonight (She's not confined to the crate, we leave the door open and gate off the kitchen.)  not ideal but also not the end of the world.  All this at 6:30 this morning, if he's this bad with the dog, I don't even want to think of how he'd be with a child.  Poor thing will have to be hermetically sealed in a padded room.

While I don't want to strangle my husband just yet, we have the next 3 days off together. Ask me again after that. Haha

My vent: I work part time, and I have been totally flexible for my manager in that I will pick up extra shifts when others are on vacation or whatnot. But I've told her repeatedly that I don't mind what few days she's works me, I just want it to be consistent. My schedule has yet to be the same for than 2 weeks. So when people have asked me to take their shifts lately I have said no, because I want to get some consistency. I can't make plans until the week of, because of my schedule. Which is really hard to do with doctors appts.

Someone asked me yesterday if the manger talked to me about switching shifts for 4 weeks with her. I said no and since Manager didn't ask me (which she usually does) I hoping she figured something else out. I work early AM shift, and I don't want the evening one for 4 weeks! I'm a bit nervous about getting my schedule later today....

I had annoying ovary pains all morning, and now I've started spotting.

And I lost my car in the parking lot of the grocery store and had to wonder around like an idiot looking for it, and it's cold.

H accidentally shipped something his parents house. Now his dad has to go to the post office and ship it us(and we have to pay shipping again). I know it was an accident but I was irrationally annoyed. Then he had a couple errands to run but wasn't fully prepared. He wasn't sure exactly where the building we had to go to was. Then we went to a military store for him to get a ribbon for his uniform (he just got some sort of award) and he had no idea what the ribbon looked like.

Mine are IF vents, sorry.

1) I was supposed to start IVF next cycle with the ER/ET end of Feb. Then a business trip was planned by my boss so had to move IVF til March - fine. The yesterday they decided to add a week to the Feb trip to make it 2 weeks. I am going to have a meltdown if this affects my March IVF.

2) I had a tiny bit of brown cm yesterday so thought today would be CD1. No dice, just brown cm. So probably CD 1 will be tomorrow which is when DH and I are going to our annual ski and spa weekend that we have looked forward to since last year. grrrrr. I really don't want AF pains all weekend.

I once lost my car in a parking garage in a big city only to find out I walked into the wrong garage!

I almost started crying in a Target parking lot. I walked up and down every aisle and could not find it anywhere. I had walked buy it twice. Now I try to only park in the aisle right in front of the door.

I've done the exact same thing before, so I now note exactly where I am.

Did you know that cars in garages are the most 'found' items that ha ve been reported stolen/missing to the police?

Mine will be an IF vent.

My friend has 2 children, but has struggled to have a third ( for 9 months since the birth of the 2nd). They are hoping to adopt a 4th child. She's very wealthy and decided to go for IVF for the third.

This week they announced they were chosen as adoptive parents and will be adopting in 4 months. Also, that she is pregnant with twins.

I was incredible happy for her, until she stated " I know exactly what you're going through, those 9 months were the worst time of our lives, you just don't know what it's like to not know if you can give your kids another sibling"

Um, WHUT?

( she knows were 4 years into this with no children and money for adoption is years away)

Uh yeah 9 months does not equal 4 years! What did you say when she said that? I always wish I could drop a witty reply when people say dumb shit, but I always wimp out.

I didn't, I was surprised! I should add that I'm still happy for her. 

But, yeah....I don't think she's as aware of who her audience is as she used to be.

Oh ugh. I'd want to make some witty comment about comparing 9 months of pregnancy to 4 years of pregnancy. Totes same diff, right!?
