I’m just a bit stabby at DH for making me decide what I want to do tonight for my birthday. I ALWAYS make all our plans and for once it would be fun to be surprised!
Also stabby at myself for having self control for once and not getting that donut I wanted from Duncan when I was there getting coffee.
My 3 year old is making me super stabby. Love him more than life itself but holy smokes!!!!!! We might not make it to 4. The “threenager” thing is NO JOKE.

Ugh yes. I've been trying all sorts of naptime changes to try and make mine less of an asshole. No change so far lol
My prenatal vitamins smell super strongly of mildew and I've been taking them for days before figuring out that was the source of the nasty smell. Ugh. I don't need this on top of the strep throat from hell.

@jynjer91 I can't even begin to tell you how many times I've talked to hubs about this! I would love a surprise once in a while and it has yet to come...we have been married 8 years! I am waiting.... then I say to myself "I'm not planning another thing!" and we go MONTHSSSSSS and never go on a date...and finally I cave and say ok I got the baby sitter, we are going out! and he is happy and says "wow we need to do this more often" ***PALM TO FACE!*** why??
Stabby at McAfee Firewall for blocking my printer. Like what the hell, let me print damn it! After about 5 hours of troubleshooting, (including figuring out it was indeed McAfee that sucks), I figured out how to unblock the print spooler. My goodness, that was way harder than it needed to be.
@jemmerjams I would have been mad as hell! Sometimes "smart" technology is so damn dumb! Like seriously, in what logic would blocking the printer ever make sense?!
Stabby at my sister. My grandma told me she (sister) is coming to visit next week. Sister hasn’t told me anything about it and apparently also hasn’t said anything to our mom either. She does this a lot and then texts me the last day she’s in town wanting to do something. By that time we already have plans. I’m fairly certain she does it on purpose so she doesn’t have to see us, so whatever, but I’m tired of her trying to make me feel bad about it. She has super low self confidence so when she comes up and I don’t see her she makes herself feel better by making me look bad by telling everybody that I don’t do stuff with her and don’t make her feel welcome when she visits. We never had a great relationship and honestly her self confidence issues make it really hard to be around her... I’m afraid to talk to her anymore because I can’t say anything right. She got mad at me for “shaming” her by talking about her daughter being in diapers (her daughter was 1 at the time and I said something about not having to stop for bathroom breaks on her way home because she was still in diapers). Kind of wish grandma hadn’t told me she was coming up because then I could continue on in blissful ignorance instead of being annoyed that she still hasn’t told me she’s coming.
ETA: also stabby at the lady that said she wanted to buy our old convertible car seats (can’t fit them 3 across so we’re selling them). We stayed home because she said she’d be here at 11. I messaged her at 11:30 asking if she was coming and, surprise, she isn’t because she doesn’t have the cash for them. Umm.. you didn’t know this yesterday when you told me you’d be here today? You didn’t know it this morning? Couldn’t send me a message letting me know you aren’t coming? No? Now she wants to pick them up Wednesday after she gets paid if the next person in line doesn’t want them. I may ignore her - I don’t have time to sit around waiting for people to not show up.
@purplegoldfish2 I'd show up at your grams when you know she's there and act surprised to see her saying you didn't know she'd be in town and it's too bad she didnt let you know. Puts the blame back on her since you "caught" her there and if she asks you to do something you can say you have plans and again didnt know she'd be in town. That's just the type of person I am though..
And now I’m really mad at DH. He gets home and didn’t feel like going out so I had to cook. I really really didn’t want pizza. I get that you’re tired dude but it’s my damn birthday and I DO NOT WANT TO COOK!!! He says we’d go for lunch tomorrow instead but whatever. I want to be a pouty bitch instead of acting like an adult.
@jynjer91 That would make me sooooo mad! I’m sorry you’re not having the best bday. DH knows my birthday is my favorite holiday every year and to never pull something like this...although this year with being pregnant and having our AS the day after I *almost* forgot about my own birthday!
Anyways, Happy Birthday!! I hope the lunch today is extra special!
Apparently I was stabby at Costco yesterday and didn’t realize it. I accidentally snapped at H while he was perusing All.The.Aisles and another shopper apparently laughed and whispered to his partner “she seems like an angry shopper.. I always just wanna look at stuff at Costco too!” Thankfully I didn’t hear said comments but I did hear DH chuckle and he told me about it later.
Stabby at the woman who was verbally assaulting a random child at the dog park today!
I felt there was something "off" about this woman when she came in. Just one of those gut feelings. I was on the other side of the football-field sized dog park with my dog playing fetch. A 10-year-old kid comes in with his 8-lb Yorkie (his mom was about 100 feet behind him coming in from the parking lot) and the Yorkie runs up to the other dog, ya know, because it's a dog park, and this horrible woman starts screaming at the child "get your f*cking dog away from mine! He doesn't like other dogs! What the f*ck!!"
I guess I'm already in mama bear mode because I immediately head over to shield this child from this lunatic's ranting and raving. I get in front of the kid and tell her, "this is an off-leash dog park. The rules clearly state if you have an aggressive or unfriendly dog, you shouldn't be here." She yells "it says to keep your f*cking dogs on a f*cking leash" and I am now pissed off and retort back, "No, it does not. Maybe you should read the the whole sentence and not just the part you *want* to see. It says keep your dogs leashed until they are safely in the enclosure. Then they are free to run around because that's the point of a dedicated dog park."
By this point, the kid's mom has come in and heard the commotion so she rightfully got angry at this trashy, aggressive woman yelling at her child so she starts yelling. The aggressive, shitty lady was not listening and started calling the woman a c*nt and a b*tch. It was insane.
However, she did leave the park and while it seemed like she wanted to start more trouble, on her way out, she saw 3 other people coming in and letting their dogs off the leash to play - then I could see her re-reading the sign with the rules and storming off when she realized she was wrong. Get the hell out of here, lady. I am not going to stand by silently while you scream and curse at a child.

@mamabearcj haha yesss! I don't love confrontation but I will not look away when someone is being wronged, especially a child. I also am a regular at this park; I know (and follow) the rules. I don't appreciate people who think they are above them.

Stabby at my car because the transmission died on Friday.
I thought something was wrong with the transmission so I took it in last week and of course it acted perfectly. Friday we got on the road for a 4 hour car trip to a wedding. It started acting up after about an hour and died about 30 minutes later. We had to get a tow and a rental. It’s going to cost 4K to fix (getting a second opinion), I still owe 7K on the car, the car only has 93K miles on it, it’s only 7 years old and we are 3K miles past the warranty. This is our “good” car. DH car is 21 years old.
ETA: I’ve also literally never had a problem with this car and it’s only ever been in the shop for oils changes, tires, brakes and routine maitenance.
@mamabearcj I would, but she’s 45 mins away so I never just stop in. I keep telling her she needs to move closer to us, but I’m the one that left and if she moves closer to me she’s farther from her 2 sons that are always over helping her (& they’re probably more help than I could be since they don’t have kids or the kids are in college).
I have standing plans once a month with one of my friends, who for the last year has canceled probably 3/4 times for various, perfectly reasonable reasons. However, we confirmed a few weeks ago that we were on for that night.
Come to find out, he made other plans for that evening. Dude- I literally only get to do this activity for another three months. Why the fuck would I have canceled it???
@cdepperschmidt What kind of car do you have? I asked my H about your issue, he is a service advisor for a dealership so he deals with stuff like this all the time. He said if your warranty is barely expired by the mileage but not the time then you could talk to corporate about getting assistance since it's barely out of warranty. They wouldn't completely cover it but would probably help you out a bit. I'm assuming since it's 7 years old that the warranty is probably expired by the time also, but thought I'd mention it just in case!
@knottieamusements ah bummer! I'd be super disappointed too! @cdepperschmidt car troubles always make me stabby... @sarahzett good grief! Glad you stood up to that lady! Who does that?!? @jynjer91 Aw hope you got to have birthday fun sometime! Happy birthday!
Finally got a chance to type today... I read stuff, but didn't get a chance to comment. Not necessarily stabby but super unfortunate.. DD-6 came up from Sunday school this morning and once I saw her, I knew we were in trouble. Her color was off and she quick covered her mouth and I grabbed her and we ran for the bathroom! She barfed a lil on the way so someone actually cleaned that up for me (sooo thankful!) and I got her cleaned up. DH saw what happened and met us at the entry and we went home. Poor lil girl was so sad and cried on the way home! We were supposed to go to folks-in-law for dinner for our nephews birthday but she begged to stay home, so her and I stayed home and DH brought us dinner. The whole rest of the day she ran and played and her color was all better and she never complained of her tummy hurting again... So it was either really fast acting or something just didn't set well with her. Who knows!

@purplegoldfish2 oh well that makes sense. Hopefully your sister doesn't pull the usual move, fingers crossed for you.
