I AM STILL SICK WITH THIS STUPID COUGH!!!!! I've had it since Wednesday.
For the last two nights, I've had to take Benadryl to get any sleep. It stops the coughing long enough for me to get about 3 hours of sleep. Then I'm awake hacking again. I can take another one and get another 3 hours of sleep. I haven't had any congestion until today. I picked up some CVS brand Robitussin DM (listed on safe list) and I guess it helped a little bit, but not as much as I'd like for it to.
DH is a hypocrite and I have no sympathy for him. He gets irritated with me when I am not feeling well and don't immediately take something to feel better yet he NEVER does ANYTHING to make himself feel better! He's been complaining for a week about a bug bite on the back of his upper thigh. We went to an outdoor BBQ last Saturday on a farm property and he came home with a bite. I told him to get some cream or something for it but he didn't. So yesterday he calls me into the bathroom as we're getting ready for bed to have me look at it. There is a patch of skin that is red and bumpy like he has an allergic reaction/rash/has been scratching it too much, or something of some sort - about the size of a small post-it note.
I told him that he needs to go see a doctor or at least get the bug bite/rash creams that I've already been recommending and he finally agreed. I emailed him today asking if he called the doc or went to the store to buy anything for it and he said no.
THEN STOP COMPLAINING IF YOU'RE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT.
Note: It doesn't look serious at all, otherwise I'd be dragging him to the doctor's office myself ... but seriously, grow up and take care of yourself!
Why and HOW are some people so INCOMPETENT. I don't leave anything messy at work and yet I come in to EVERYTHING TRASHED. Have some respect. I'm NOT your mother!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The fact that our apartment complex has been working on the fitness center and pool for MONTHS and they aren't even close to being done. I just want to relax by the pool! First world problems, I suppose. But why raise the rent from $1000 to $1700 and not have it done yet! Grr.
I found porn of a woman the exact opposite of me (large breasts/performing an act I have a mental block against due to childhood bullying) on the computer and when I asked why it was there, he answered that he "doesn't want to bother me every time." I would understand except he NEVER asks (and he's one to claim wanting to go at it at least twice a day). He also said that he uses it quite often. So now I'm in tears almost every day because I can't help but think it's because he now finds me horribly unattractive and/or regrets the pregnancy. I want to leave, but I'm at least three hours from my home town and explaining the situation to my mother would be complicated. (I'm 22 and in a different province for university) I'm stuck between inconsolable tears and unexplainable anger constantly, thanks to hormones. He is an absolute idiot (but I love him) and usually I have the patience to deal with his nonsense. Lately, if he even so much as looks at me sometimes, I want nothing more than to punch him repeatedly. He says he'll help out around the house because I'm too sick and tired but he does absolutely nothing. I'm not a confrontational person so I won't get visibly upset but I'm also a clean person so to see the disaster every day is stressful and just makes me frustrated with him. His cat does not get along with my two and takes this out on us by peeing on our bed. It happened last night and we noticed after coming home late from a movie. He didn't do anything to his cat, instead took the spray bottle to my two, soaking them completely, claiming they were cornering him in the bedroom. It is a well known fact in our relationship that my cats mean more to me than any human and I will always choose them if I need to make that decision. It honestly seems to me like he's subconsciously trying to push me towards that decision.
@caitlyn5454 is there a close friend you can confide in about this? Or even better a counselor/psychologist? The reason I suggest that is that someone having no stack in your relationship can sometimes offer better advice than a trusted friend who is naturally going to be defensive and have difficulty seeing outside of you. **This is not to say I disagree with your feelings because I think they are valid and it absolutely stinks what you're going through...I just think they might be able to help you process and maybe even communicate with him better?**
@caitlyn5454 I'm sorry you're going through this. Have you voiced your concerns to your SO? Maybe he is scared and subconsciously pushing you away and if you both talk out the feelings maybe it will get better. Hope everything works out for you either way!
I need a place to bitch, thanks for starting thread!
My office is a house turned into an office. The HVAC was designed for residential use so it cannot handle 5 computers & printers and all the heat they put off. I've been having thermostat wars with my office mates. The thermostat is set for 69 with hopes it'll get the office sufficiently cooled in the morning to keep it somewhat cool in the afternoon (today is 6th day in a rom in 90s). My co-worker is STILL using a space heater in the morning. I have my fan on from the time I come in. It is currently 81 in my little office with my fan on high.
I sent my boss an email seeking permission to put window unit in my office. He didn't even respond. I wasn't asking him to pay for it. I'll spend the $100 even though I have better things to spend it on. You would think he would want the pregnant Office Manager comfortable... GRRRRRRRR
There is a storm rolling into Texas, an really bad one. I was fostering a puppy but have now decided to keep it. So I told the shelter rep that I would return the kennel I am borrowing from her once the weather settled down unless she wanted to meet me at a safe location in the middle. She refused to compromise and is telling me that she needs the kennel NOW and if I don't return the kennel to her than she will buy a new one and force me to reimburse her. Bitch, calm down or drown. Your choice, really.

I had this exact conversation last week with one of the guys in my office. Our dishwasher was temporarily out of commission and I sent emails and posted colorful, playful signs all about saying that the user is responsible for washing, drying, and putting away their shit.
So I watch him take his dirty dishes, hear him rinse, and place them into the sink basin. As he walks past me I say: "You gonna wash that dish buddy."
He stumbles... "Uh, the dishwasher is broken."
"Yup, that's why you're gonna wash that dish, aren't ya buddy?"
He kinda laughs like I am joking with him and goes back to his desk. Hours pass and its almost the end of the day. I walk past his desk.
"Hey, buddy, you still have dishes in the sink that you need to wash."
"Oh come on, momo, the dishwasher will be here in a couple days can't we just wait or you wash it. One dish, that's no big deal right?"
HA, should not have said that! "I am not your momma, I am not your boyfriend. Wash your dish or I will rip your throat out with my teeth." I work in an environment where a phrase such as this does not inspire gasps or furtive looks but instead gets laughs, burns, and a single person going: "REKT!" hahaha I didn't have to get onto him about washing his dishes anymore.

Wtf? Dang, now I need to check out the weather.
Yeah, there is a "tropical disturbance" in the Gulf and with all the flooding we had over Memorial Day weekend coupled with the fact that it hasn't REALLY dried up since then, Houston is prepping for a Noah's Arc situation. hahaha

I know the feeling! My office HVAC got an upgrade over the winter, but they have delayed redoing the vents and ducts. This office can range anywhere from 61 degrees (yes you heard me right) when it is 80/90 out to 84. It was so cold that they turned on the heater to counter the AC and it keeps it about 72 on most days in the low to mid 80s. Today, since it is 90 out, it is 77 in here and I have my fan on. I hate that it changes from day to day. I just don't understand how they can't get it right. Hang in there!

Mine is that I have a really hard time with being in "limbo". I just want to know everything right now. DH and I have a lot going on right now and are in total limbo. It's seriously making me lose sleep. And if my anxiety wasn't hard enough already.... Oye
This is me being tested and I'm so thankful to have my God and have to trust him. But it's really hard sometimes.
My bitchfest is more of a pity party. I graduated college last month and so far haven't had a single call back from anyplace I've applied (at least 16-18 places) I didn't know it would be this hard! And I would like to be cleaning, reorganizing the house while I'm not working but boyfriend won't move his crap, and doesn't want me to touch it because I don't know where it goes. I'm reluctant to deep clean communal areas because his freaking roommate hasn't moved out yet (and also has a POS car that doesn't run out front that has been sitting there since LAST SUMMER... wtf?!)-- he gave the guy til AUGUST to find a new place. I want him gone NOW. And, he guilted me in to going camping with his brother this weekend (one of his favorite childhood memories is camping on Mark Twain lake, and I wanted to share that with him so I agreed)-- it poured all weekend, there was a hole in our air mattress so I had to sleep on the ground, and I found THREE ticks on me. THEN, when we were finally home, bf forced me to go to the grocery store even though all I wanted to do was shower, and then told me that I smelled inside the grocery store (I had been wearing the same swimsuit all day bc we packed up the tent and stuff and drove straight home after being on the lake all day) I LOST it. So cranky with him right now. He hasn't told his mom yet!! He said he's doing it tonight, I know he's going to ask me to come along and I just don't want to. I realize this post makes me sound like a hoosier but I had to get it out. Ahhh.
Not exactly a big deal but I rented a movie I love to watch with BF because I think he'll love it too in addition to what to expect and he fell asleep right at the end of what to expect! So now I have to wait for him to wake up before I can watch the other movie. Normally I'd wake him up but he drove me to get fried chicken from a place 30 miles away this afternoon so I'm trying to be nice.
DH's stepsister got married at 18, never went to school, never got a job. She created a GoFundMe page last night to raise $500 in airfare to go to a makeup seminar in LA. She hit her $500 in a day. Get a job instead of asking for free handouts!!!! Can I make a GoFundMe to pay for my childbirth?!
Can I also bitch about the fact I took the time to shower and straighten my hair and it's been rainy and humid all day?! POOF! I'm Hermione (before she got cute)

Dang! I guess I know where to start my baby registry now!
This storm rolling into Houston had me running all over creation trying to get ready. Home Depot, grocery store, gas station, bank. and I KNOW, just KNOW that because I busted hump all day it won't amount to much. I mean I'm not really that upset, better safe than sorry, just tired. Really really tired.
My husband stayed out late at the bar with his friends both Friday and Saturday nights this past weekend...I went to a birthday party and a wedding with him last weekend and stayed up late both nights so I had hoped he would spend some time with his pregnant wife this weekend...nope, stayed in bed until 3:30pm Saturday afternoon just to get up, shower, and go out again while I sat at home by myself. I wish he would just GROW UP!!!!
My dog decided to take a shit in my dining room. Both dogs never have accidents and they had been out multiple times prior. Not sure what his deal was today, especially after I cuddled with him all morning
I wish my boyfriend would go out. He refuses, although I continue to encourage him. I feel like he would be happier if he blew off some steam-- he's stressed about work.

Dh doesn't go out but he plays video games to blow off stress. It drives me flipping crazy, but then I remind myself he works hard at a stressful job and that's just his way of relaxing. Its just every freakin day.
@daylynj bf doesn't play video games... thank God. We have a few systems but the only one that really works is the Sega. Sometimes we have mortal kombat battles...
The computer games are the ones that scare me. I forget what the big one is called, but last week I watched a show on ID (addicted) where the husband stayed at home while the wife worked and was supposed to be caring for their son, but just played the game like 24/7 to the point where police found their toddler wandering naked in the middle of the street. The wife ended up murdering him and hiding him in the basement. (Too dark for TB?)
@VegDumpling I have threatened to get rid of the Xbox one but then I realized I use it to stream tv in the living room...so I'm not as bad as the lady who killed her husband... )
*Disclaimer that I acknowledge my bitchfest is quite petty: I've ridden horses my whole life, was captain of my equitation team in college (yes they have those lol), but haven't ridden for almost 2 years due to moves and having sold my horse. Well my DH has decided that now is the perfect time for us to get a new horse and I am soo appreciative and excited to have it back in my life, but why now when I can't even ride him?! I have to go out everyday to clean his stall and take care of him and just longingly watch others ride. Sighhh I just want to ride my new horse!
I could stab DH today. He's bound and determined to drag our family to Oklahoma for a three day race (dirt track racing, he's the crew chief) over the 4th of July weekend but doesn't want to take our camper insisting we can stay with my family in the toter home (think giant truck/camper combo that hauls the race car). Hello! My family is a pack of wolves and we are not piling in there together like some college road trip adventure. The fact that I even have to explain to him why this would be hell on earth is making me crazy.
Slightly petty but my buns are pretty chapped over it.
