Posted a gif of a cat for a reason. My cat is an asshole. He apparently can't control his tail and has been knocking things over left and right recently.

My bitch is actually not for me, but for the 200,000+ people in the city without power due to the ice storm this weekend.  We were very fortunate to not lose power, but there are a lot of people without right now, and no guarantees it will be back on by Christmas.  I hope they're staying safe and warm!

I will be calling my obgyn's office again today.. seeing that they haven't contacted me about the RE referral I requested over a week ago -_-

jaytee16

@NotElsie - I'm sorry, that's frustrating.  I hope they can give you some info when you call.

@humblebee2 - I hope your puppy is ok!

My bitch is at myself. I wish I had disregarded my 2WW optimism and not been so conservative discussing testing with my doctor. Now that CD1 is here, I'm going to have to wait until after the holidays or hope she calls me back and go ahead and schedule H's SA and a couple of other things because I didn't do that before. I wish I had done all of that 2 weeks ago so I wasn't dealing with the massive black hole that is federal employees and Christmas vacation (love my doc, love my hospital, love that H has the time off, don't love that it's going to be damn near impossible to get anyone on the phone for over a week).

In keeping with the pet theme then, my puppy went outside this morning, peed, then decided to come in since it was raining. Then she thought it would be a great idea to poop in my bedroom, since it's not raining in there, even though she was already outside in the rain. Then she wanted to play with it. Jerk.

sounds like my dogs this am... although I guess they're holding it in.. because they're content being lazy and sleeping on my bed.. I just have to keep an eye on the little one, she hides her shit

My bitch is with my insurance provider.  Been taking Bravelle this cycle.  My body seems to want to be a raging bitch and not respond to anything (CD16 and 0 follies over 8mm) so RE bumped the Bravelle up but I can't get it.  Can only get it mail ordered through my prescription provider specialty pharmacy.  Placed the refill order last week and earliest they can get it to me is tomorrow (my next monitoring appt).  Yep that's a great help!!  Luckily my RE has an emergency stash in the office.  There's a specialty pharmacy in the building with my RE but nope not allowed to get meds there (they won't cover them if I do....been there done that).  I mean WTF not like this stuff is time sensitive or anything!  UGH!!  Annoying!

I'm kinda bitchy at the weather.  Most people are enjoying the day of 60's we had over the weekend, with rain falling instead of snow.  But I'm allergic to mold, and mold spores come out in the rain.  So while everyone else is like the lack of snow we should have in NY right now, I have a pounding headache, post nasal drip and scratchy throat.  I want the rain to go.

My bitch isn't really a bitch, more of a wtf. My puppy, who was in the animal hospital this weekend, is back to eating, had a BM, hasn't vomited since Saturday, but won't drink. I'm having to feed her ice cubes to try to keep her hydrated. 

I'm sure after I run out to do some last minute shopping I'll have some legitimate bitches.  

Just a suggestion, try mixing water in with her food if she's not getting enough.  It sounds like she's doing really well overall though!

My dogs are liking the rain too much.  It takes me a good 10 minutes to clean their muddy paws when they come in, and they are constantly begging to go out.  I know the older two are faking it, but Neville (the corgi pup) is only recently fully house trained and I don't want to ignore him if he really has to go.  My floor is a disaster!

My bitch is the stomach bug. It got my daughter this morning. Now I am hoping my husband and I don't get it just in time for Xmas.

Most importantly, she feels miserable and can't keep anything down. Poor baby

katietopaz

My bitch is that I think I'm getting sick. Hectic schedule with work, rehearsals, and Christmas shows for the past two weeks, all through tomorrow. Then we're taking a red eye to Ohio to see family for the only extended amount of time we get with them this year. I do NOT want to be spending that time with them sick! WTF body.

sister13

DH and I are living in two separate states right now due to work. We have two weeks vacation together starting tomorrow night, Yay!!

But I got blaring positive OPK yesterday afternoon so I am likely to O today with temp rise tomorrow completely missing O.

I can't be too pissed if I actually O normally this cycle, but it is so annoying to have timing so close, but off!

That must really suck having to be separated so much. I hope you enjoy your time together.

DH can we please bd during my fertile time and at least twice? Not one day before and then none during and then you want me to be pregnant we need to bd during that time ugh! If I could make a baby by myself I would. Hate not having control over the other factor that is DH and his timing!

jaytee16

@sister13 - That must be tough to be apart so much, I hope you enjoy your time together this break!!!  And you know I am so with you on bad timing for O, stupid cancelled cycle!  Sorry

beckynsean11

@sister13 FX that your O holds off a couple of days. Yay for some time together! 

My bitch is going out to the apartment complex we're trying to get into. We applied, gave our app & deposit almost a month ago. They still haven't completed processing it! So we still don't know if we're in & I still have 2 checks floating around. Get it together! PWEASE!!!

I have another bitch... So I ordered part of DH's present online from amazon prime over a week ago. With prime I have guaranteed 2 day shipping. It was supposed to be shipped NO LATER than Tuesday... I still don't have it... 

Amazon has it marked as "Shipped" under my order status... 

it even says "Package has left seller facility and is in transit to carrier - December 18, 2013 7:47:36 AM" 

but UPS has it as 

"A UPS shipping label has been created. Once the shipment arrives at our facility, the tracking status--including the scheduled delivery date--will be updated."

So basically they suck at getting the shit to where it's supposed to be. And now DH will not be getting it before Christmas.

I waited all weekend for this thread.  My bitch/WTF/UO for the whole week is directed towards BIL and his fiance.  They are having a destination wedding over a holiday weekend.  90% of MH's family is broke beyond broke, we're talking government assistance broke.  MH and I personally have not found a plane ticket/hotel room combo that is less than $2k and of course that isn't including food, transportation while we're there, tux rental, a passport for MH, etc.  

While we are not broke like the rest of the family, why should I spend $2k of my hard earned money on your wedding, when you didn't even get us a gift for our wedding?  Also, why did you decide on this when you know that the majority of your family can't afford it.  They aren't pitching in for anything for anyone.  We've even been asked to pitch in for the food, AND the bride sent me a link to her gift registry for her bridal shower this weekend with a "I REALLY would like the cappuccino maker " attached.  I feel like my emotions are going to explode all over them when we're together for Christmas, because they sent us their Christmas gift list, too.  I just feel like the whole thing is so self-centered and ego driven it makes me sick.  It's not even a location MH or I want to go.  We didn't have a honeymoon, so they've tried to play it off as "Oh, this can be your belated honeymoon!"  That'd be great if we had any desire to go there.  But we don't.  And it really, REALLY is pissing me off. 

Edit: words

I would just not go. Don't get them anything other than gift cards or cash or something you found on clearance that's similar to something on their registry. As for the bridal shower.. I wouldn't go to that either! Make up an excuse.

@flyawaycricket - if you write them, you are likely to get 1 month extended prime. And they may overnight it.  This happened to me last month.  It was never leaving the facility, so I wrote them and they said "It may be lost.." ??  and at the end said "due to this issue, we will extend your prime by a month" and then they overnighted the item.  Seriously- write them.  They truly have amazing customer service and if you tell them it's a Christmas present and you used Prime, they are likely to hook you up.

My bitch:  I work at a call center for a couple extra $ to pay student loans down (one of our TTC goals).  I've been getting calls all weekend asking if they can order something and it would still get there by Christmas.  Um, no.  Then they get super pissed off at me, like I can make things change just because they're upset that overnight shipping includes 1-2 days of processing time and shipping times aren't really under my control.  Maybe you should have thought about it more than 3 days before Christmas?

I've done many many years of Customer Service and  I so agree!  Even when we could overnight it and it arrive on time, they thought it was insane for them to have to pay a huge overnight shipping cost.  People are crazy

Hopefully. I'm assuming this is a screw up on the seller's end.. not Amazon's but yea it sucks. I ordered other stuff that day and got it almost immediately. I acutally JUST sent them a message right before I saw your response.

I don't have problems with allergies but I am so sick of this rain.  Everything is dreary and muddy.  My dogs are filthy and in a couple of days when it gets cold again, everything is going to be icy.  I want snow!!  I don't understand why people think of this weather as a good thing this time of year.

Exactly.  It's all slushy and nasty now.  Then it will get cold and turn into a skating rink.

I'm going to jump on the UPS can eat my shorts bandwagon! So, about half of H's Christmas stuff is from one website, and their default carrier is UPS. I always use USPS for things, I've never had an issue (this seems to be rare, but neither has anyone is my family). I love the Priority flat rate boxes. Whenever I get something from a site that uses UPS, something happens. I should learn. I ordered from the site 12/15, and they had free 3-5 day shipping. Anyway, this was supposed to be here Friday. They hit a weather delay, which I get because it's been awful up north. Fine. Scheduled to be here Christmas Eve. That's okay. Then it picked up some time and was scheduled to be here today. Great, fantastic. Now it's arrived in San Antonio, but has somehow 'encountered a delay and the revised delivery date will be available when it reaches its next UPS facility.' It's in my city! The next destination should be my freaking house. Tell me where the facility is and I'll go pick the damn thing up. Argh.

Fuck me!!! I waited until today to finish up my Christmas shopping, traffic is a bitch and I'm even trying back roads but everyone else is too!!!!

Wow - that is RIDICULOUS! They are entitled to have a destination wedding if they really want to, but they should know that means many people won't be able to attend. Especially if most family members have financial difficulties! A lot of people only have the money/time off to take one vacation a year, if that, and I totally agree that it can be frustration to basically be told where you have to spend this money/time.

We went to a destination wedding in Florida for some friends, and I was not thrilled about it - but DH was best man so we felt like we had to. The couple acted like we should THANK them for doing it because we all got a vacation - but the resort we had to stay at cost way more money than I would have spent on a vacation, and we ended up getting a kind of crappy room in a shared condo. At the time I was still in grad school so money was really tight, so it was not ideal.

It's funny the way that some brides/couples can get when it comes to wedding planning and their expectations of their (potential) guests. Just because it's your big day that you've been waiting for your whole life, and you're pouring all this energy, time, and money into it, doesn't mean that other people are too.

Not that your guests don't necessarily want to celebrate with you, but I think you should be considerate of them, too!

As someone that had a DW, it makes me really sad that people like this give DWs a bad name. There's a considerate way to do it & a shitty way to do it. It's a shame that so many people don't put in the extra effort to make it easier for guests.

Baaaah my train has been stuck at the train station for the last 20 minutes and they can't give us an estimated time we'll leave!!! I have shits to do!

WTH at my DH dr. DH asked about a SA and was told not to worry. The woman gets all the testing first. Really? I get to go though all the crap if things don't work out when all he has to do is squirt in a cup? Why can't the easy testing be done first?!?

easilyunamused

My bitch is about me. Every gift I went to get for MH was denied. It's 2 days before Christmas and I have nothing to give him. Well besides money for new clothes. He's too particular for me to just go buy him stuff.

We also drive into work together, our truck is having issues. So I can't even go out to find him anything on my lunch break. Our first Christmas together as a married couple and I have nada. WOTY right here.

kmaty13

I have several...

I'm sick just in time for Christmas.

I am still waiting for 3 Christmas presents to be delivered. I didn't even order them at the last minute.

I haven't been temping consistently because our dog goes BSC when my BBT beeps. I've also been waking up before my alarm goes off so if the dog goes nuts it will keep DH up until he has to go to work.

WHY THE FUCK AM I NOT OVULATING?!?!!??!!?

@MusicFanatic welp they got back to me. Said it got lost. Cancelled the order becuase the product was no longer available and offered free 1 day shipping for a replacement. I don't even want to bother b/c they said they couldn't guarantee it for Christmas. Ugh.

MusicFanatic

Aw crap. Did they extend your prime?  They should, as they said their two day is a guarantee when you have prime. They've always extended mine 1 month when something is lost or takes longer.  Boo.  I'm sorry it won't get there

My Bitch is for my mom:
We've had nothing but winter for 2 months. Actual winter gets here, it becomes 64 degrees, and the skies opened and flooded everything with rain, not snow.

My moms basement is under 5 inches of water. I am glad she has good insurance and there are already men helping her bail out and get things dried out/replaced. But she's my babysitter too, which means she's dead tired and going to be giving DS 3 hour naps until this is cleared up. And the days off we gave her for Christmas are going to be spent cleaning up a yucky basement, not relaxing. "Hallelujah, Holy Shit".

Are you giving your puppy dry or wet food? Our 8 year-old dog had butt surgery right before Thanksgiving, so we gave him wet food until he healed. He didn't drink for almost 5 days. I was really concerned, but  the vet said it's perfectly ok and normal, the wet food has enough moisture in it. She said that when they only eat the wet food they never drink their normal amount of water.

Big F.U to my stepdad who posted a status whining how his job is so mean and he had to do Christmas early cause his job hates families (this would lead you to believe he has to work on Christmas) so I and my mom contacted him and thought it'd be a good idea since he's working on Christmas to have the two kids living with him come to my house so they're not alone on Christmas.

Well, true to character just to "get back at" my mom, he said no. He wouldn't say why, but then he says she can't get them cause he's working Christmas Eve. Uh, so then why would you need to do Christmas early? A day later, he finally answers "there's a Christmas party ALL DAY on Christmas" uh huh.. Fucking liar. He won't say who is throwing this supposed party. So now he is working Christmas and telling us this shit to lie to us and my brother and sister will be sitting in his apartment by themselves. Because he is that selfish. I'm so upset and disgusted.

My brother and sister don't even have phones and there's no home phone (they're 16 and 12) so the only way to contact them to ask if they're alone on Christmas is to go through him. Good luck to us.

Moral of the story: don't use children as pawns because you hate your ex. It will make me hate you and my mom WILL be fighting to get the kids to move back here with her.

That is what I want.  MH is super non-confrontational and is worried about it causing drama and making them "not like us."  I frankly couldn't care less whether or not they like me.  But I understand it's his brother, not mine, and that he really does want to be there to see him get married.  I'm thinking of just sending MH and not going myself.  We are going to have a long conversation about it when the stress of the holidays is over.  

Woah!! Some people don't even spend 2K on their own wedding.
They seem childish to me. Who invites their family to their wedding when they know most of them can't afford it? Someone selfish. I definitely wouldn't go. They have to expect people will tell them they can't come. And after that, she asked you for a cappuccino maker? Holy crap. I understand DH might be worried about bad blood... but the BIL wasn't worried about bad blood when they made their plans. They don't know your finances. You can always claim it's too expensive/not do-able.

My new bitch, I'm just full of them today, is H. So he's been playing a computer game all afternoon, which is fine, he's off work and I watched White Christmas and napped. I asked to check to get the number and tracking on the package I need a few minutes ago and he says he's going to the gym. Should be the end of it. So we're talking for a few minutes before he leaves and I'm looking up the place where we're going to look at lights tonight and I have a few TB threads open. He says he's really going, so I start reading threads and then he's just reading over my shoulder, which is a number 1 pet peeve of mine, I can't stand it. I just reposition the computer away from him, keep talking, and he moves over so he can continue to read over my shoulder. I then tell him in a nice voice that the reason I moved it was because he knows that makes me nuts. He just flipped. Really flipped. Got all yell-y and then stormed out of the house to the gym. Christ, I don't know what's up with him, but he needs to build a bridge and get over it.
