Is everyone all complained out after the holiday yesterday? Hopefully there are other who want to bitch with me.
I scheduled a contractor to come out today and begin a 2-3 day project to refinish our stairs. I am working today, H is home. The project already has unexpected stuff coming up (sanding and scraping not working, chemical strippers now needed) and I'm frustrated. And H is not able to handle it. He is not good at multitasking and although he is great with Andy, his ability to do anything BUT wrangle the kid at once is terrible. So now, remotely, with no information, I'm having to figure out if we can stay in our house tonight, or at all this weekend due to fumes, and where we will stay if not, and how we will get there, and I'm responsible for packing once we get home because H took Andy's to him moms, etc etc etc.
Worst case scenario is that we have to debunk to MILs for the whole weekend, which will honest to God bring me to tears because I won't get to decorate for Christmas. Like, at all. We are OOT the next two weekends.
I just need a minute to complain about my dogs. They're assholes. They've been keeping everyone up at night for a few weeks now and it's getting on my last fucking nerve. They just stand there and bark at absolutely nothing. Theo's sleep has been suffering (even worse than before), so he has been an absolute terror. I'm tired, my kids are exhausted, and there they are just barking their fool heads off at 2 am over chew toys or what the fuck ever.

My pregnancy has caused me to be a lazy fuck. I'm either laying on my couch or on my bed, binge watching tv shows every night by 5:30p and all weekend long. I just feel plain exhausted and I thought I would be feeling better by now. My eating habits aren't the best and my online shopping is out of control. I'm a mess!
I finally got a hold of my doctor's assistant last Friday about scheduling an ablation and she was going to talk to him and get back with me. One week later, no call back. I don't know why I'm shocked.
My H is frustrated about something technicial to do with an e-mail account he's trying to save even though the hosting company has been sold and re-sold several times and the domain is effectively dead. Naturally, this means he's being pissy with me about going to lunch with my sister in a little while.

Lock them somewhere, without windows, and without chew toys. I'd say crates, but aren't they Great Danes? If my dogs wake up my kid once I threaten their lives. Multiple times and I'd hurt them.

Someone gave my chicken allergic dog stuffing (also had onions, luckily she is a big girl so we should well below the in big trouble level - there wasn't that much stuffing we couldn't account for - pretty sure she just had a plate scraped into her dish) The stuffing was made with chicken broth. She also got turkey somewhere. I'll leave it at I'm very happy with the carpet steamer today. I feel really bad for my pup. You can tell she doesn't feel good. Vet checked her - she should be good once things are out of her system. Still have to watch her for a bit.
For the crazy 2 am barkers. Crates if you have to, they do make Dane sized crates, they take up a far amount of room. Or Xanax (that could be for the dog or you)
My dad asked if he could drop by to see E since we didn't go over to his house yesterday for thanksgiving. He's still here 45 minutes later. LEAVE. NOW.

I am annoyed (still) with BIL because he has an opinion about everything, even things that aren't his business, and I am just tired of hearing about them. Seriously. He is obnoxious and H is nothing but nice to him. I know I have complained about him before on here, but I forget how annoying he is until I have to spend time with him again. Just over 15 hours was 15 hours too long for me over Thanksgiving.

Is there more backstory here? I don't understand why him visiting for 45 minutes to hang out with his grandson over the holidays is so awful? Especially if you said he could come by?
Lol oh yes there is backstory. We've never had a good relationship and his wife has never liked me very much (or anything that has to do with my dads life before she married him) she's been particularly nasty to us lately, and uninvited us to thanksgiving which is why we didn't see my dad yesterday. My dad just stands by and let's her do this so I really have nothing to say to him but I don't want to keep him away from E either.
I met a friend and her two boys for a play date and her DH came along! So awkward. I felt like I was intruding on their family day, even though I was invited. And he was on top of the boys constantly. Maybe I'm too breezy, but I think it's fine for seven and nine years olds to wander more than five feet away, make fart jokes and talk above a whisper outside.

I would find that very awkward too. Even to the point that my friend A shares an email account with her H. I feel like my every word is suspect. eeek.
H won't play Scrabble with me, I told him when this marriage falls apart it's his fault. lol
H won't play cribbage with me any more because the first time we played I beat the crap out of him. I have to gloat, because he's the kind of guy that wins at EVERYTHING. At least he's not the gloating kind, because I'd have to smother him in his sleep.

My DH was complaining about the traffic but making me feel like it was my fault. I pulled over to let him take the wheel but I really wanted to drive away and leave him on the side the the road.

So he lets his wife treat you like shit and you think he still deserves a relationship with your kid?
