Let's hear 'em ladies.

I work in a hospital and more times than I can count, somebody will call for help and within the two minutes that it might take me to get to their room, they're having a long, drawn out conversation with somebody on the phone. I'll stand there for about 5 seconds and if they don't put the person on hold then I leave. 

I'm like, "Really, you are not my only patient, you called me 30 seconds ago and if you can't acknowledge me standing here waiting, then you can wait until I'm done helping my other patients." 

It drives me nuts! A lot of times it ends up being that they need help to the bathroom, then they're on the phone so I go and help my other patients and when they get off the phone it's this huge deal and "oh my gosh it was a really important phone call and you didn't get here in 5 seconds and now I can't hold it any longer!"

I hate TMJ. I think the headaches I was getting starting 4 weeks ago caused me to tense up my jaw, causing a TMJ flare-up. And since the only thing that works against TMJ besides physical therapy is anti-inflammatories, and you can't take those during pregnancy, I have essentially been restricted to soft foods for the last 3 weeks. Occasionally I'll get sick of it and just eat something that needs chewing, but I always pay for it with intense jaw pain and headaches the next day. I am sick and tired of it, and I just want the pain to go away. I have no idea how I will make it another 5 months on soup and yogurt. As soon as I get back home in 2 weeks, I'm calling my dentist and getting a prescription for physical therapy. If that doesn't help, I'm just going to find a corner to cry in for the rest of the pregnancy.

I'm just frustrated with DH being gone. He's at a 19wk long state police academy and he ONLY comes home on the weekends He's in wk 11, so it's almost done, he graduates Oct 19th, but I still feel like its an eternity away. It's a lot on me, even though I know he's going thru a lot. I still want to whine and complain about what I have to put up and deal with. The housework is now all on me, I take care of a 2.5 yr old on my own, I work 2 jobs (part time, but still adds to the stress), we have a dog and a cat, and the finances are on me too and on top of it all I'm pregnant and hormonal!! UGH! I need a break from reality. I dont know how singel parents do it, props to them!

Ok, I'll join even though mines more of a stupid complaint that I absolutely know no one is gonna feel sorry for, haha.

I absolutely do not want to work this week. I tutor and it's the week before school starts. I've been tutoring this child for three summers now and the past ones I've had the week off before school starts so he can have one last week of fun and sun before school starts. So, I'm not used to having to work this week. The money is nice and I definitely need it but I'd gladly give it up to sit on my butt for one last week before I go back to my full time job.

Hang in there. It's almost over. Dh and I went through the same thing with each other at different times. It was incredibly stressful and on top of that he didn't make it to the end and I did.

Today is my Thursday so I'm actually in a good place. But I went a concert last night and got home at 1:30. Then H and I Got into an argument for 2 hours, so I'm in no mood to go work 311.

LinMmmm

I am actually having a good day other than it being Monday (maybe I am just trying to be positive). Today is actually my Thursday, so after tomorrow I won't have to be back until next Wednesday. Yipee!

I feel miserable  have a cold so I would like to cut my head and neck off of my body atm, and I have a new round of nausea and MS apparently

after not puking for a week or so, it hit me twice yesterday - once in public when I couldn't hide it - and I feel like I've been on the verge all day so far.

and I can't leave early b/c I have a meeting that won't end before 6:30

 

yuck!

This monday morning has been "one of those days" already.

DD woke up super early at 5 am. I lost my keys and was late getting out the door. While backing out of my driveway I looked for cars but totally missed the POOR lady who was walking behind me and almost hit her. I was then even later to work because there was a car accident just off the expressway exit I needed to get off at, I went to grab my phone to call my co-worker and realized I left it at home.

But really the must fraustrating part of the day... I hate my job more and more everyday. I keep telling myself only 5 more months... 5 more months.

My direct manager left the company a week ago and now I have taken over her job with no pay increase but triple the phone calls, triple the emails and triple the work. Fantastic.

I am usually a very postive and upbeat person. But between all the recent stress and horomones... I am pretty miserable! LOL

I am so excited that we found out we are moving, but I am so frustrated with the process.  We don't have a move date...we can't list our house until we find out if we qualify for the buyback.  The buyback takes longer than the amount of time we think we will have left here and DH refuses to buy another house until this one is out of our name, so we are looking at having to live in a hotel for a few months...with 5 people!  Which also puts us moving across the country (into said hotel) while I'm 7 months pregnant and into a house at 9 months pregnant.  I just hate that there is so much up in the air and I'm stressed out by the timing of it all.  I just want to move once and be done with it.  I don't want to be stuck in a hotel.  I don't want to be moving and unpacking while I'm 9 months pregnant.  Grrrrr.

I have another freaking headache. I can never get in to the chiro because they aren't open after 5 and weekends. I hate living in a small town sometimes. I just want them to go away!

My partner I work closely with at work keeps telling me that he thinks i'm having a boy.  He never even asked what I was hoping for, and it's annoying me.  I always wanted a girl first, and him saying over an over he thinks it's a boy is just so ANNOYING!!  He is very arrogant, and thinks he knows everything!! I am fine with either, but still it's really none of his business. He also is basically leaving me to do all our major projects over the next month because he has excuses why he can't be here or there for the next MONTH!!!!

I moved out of my apartment this weekend, and because I actually care about getting the security deposit back (unlike my roommates), I am exhausted from cleaning.  Plus someone left old nasty leftovers in the fridge, which had me running to the bathroom to puke when I cleaned out the container.

It's been a week since M got stitches and a splint on her finger. When I was at the emergency room the were admint about her seeing an ortheppedic doctor ASAP. So a week later and still haven't seen one and if I knew it would take so long I would have taken her to one in Seattle. I've also been on the phone with both hospitals everyday trying to find out whats going on and everyone keeps telling me something different. On the plus side we get her stitches out Wednesday!

yuck! 

 Exact. Same. Problem.  I have NEVER had a cold this early in the year.  In fact, I hardly EVER get colds.  This makes me nervous for the rest of the year as we progress into actual cold/flu season. 

And where in the heck did my morning sickness go on vacation and why did it come back???????  I was perfectly happy with it being gone thank you very much!  I didn't even attempt to brush my teeth this morning before work because I knew it would just start another round of throwing up and I was running behind as it was.  Now I'm regretting that decision and I think I'm going to head to the gas station for a toothbrush.  Ick.

I recently joined a women's charity league here in my town.  Each year, we are assigned to a new committee.  I was assigned to write for the quarterly magazine, which I didn't want in the first place.  I have a writing-based career, so the last thing I want to do when I get home is write more.  As a result of daily headaches, fatigue, and major family drama, I'm really burned out and procrastinating on this extra curricular work.  I want to just email them and quit.  Like right now.  But, I made a commitment and doing the RIGHT thing is following through.  What if I don't want to do the right thing?  Blah.

oh no, I'm sorry you're feeling the same - how weird that we both had a resurgence of MS with the cold.  Wonder if it has something to do with being so congested...

hope you feel better soon - i took one tylonol about half an hour ago and I feel much improved (not great, but given that tylonol is pretty much the only thing we can take, I was impressed with how well it worked with my sinus pressure/headache)

I feel your pain. People think that they are the only one's there sometimes. So sorry you have to deal with that. It's usually the one's that aren't as sick that are the most needy. It's the quiet one's you really have to worry about.

 That's kind of a crappy situation. Can you guys do a month to month rental without a lease and maybe keep all your stuff boxed up? Might be a bit more expensive, but I'm sure much more roomy than a hotel room. That does not sound like fun. I'm sorry =(

Definitely. Then I feel horrible and neglectful because the needy ones take up so much time that (if they aren't calling for anything) I can go hours without seeing some of my patients. There will always be somebody taking advantage of the situation, but I do love my job.

See if they can fit you with a mouthguard that you would wear at nights (mine looked like invasline braces). It makes it so you cannot clench your teeth when you sleep. I eventually got braces which helped re-allign my jaw.
