What's driving you crazy this Monday morning? Vent it here so you can focus on the rest of your day/week.

Re: Monday Morning Vent - Get it off Your Chest Here!
I have so much effing work to do. I didn't get crap done this weekend. DH came down with some sort of stomach bug Saturday night so I was tending to him all day yesterday and DS was being kinda whiney all day. And the house is a wreck. We have to pick it up before the cleaning crew comes on Wednesday. Tomorrow I have a doctor's appt which will be just further confirmation of the baby weight I haven't lost.
On a good note though, my hair and toes look amazing. DH surprised me with an afternoon to myself on Saturday so I got all my beauty appts in.
Thanks, I feel better.
Good morning!
I need to get motivated...quick! Since I lost 3.5 days of work due to DS's illness last week, I have a lot to do today before I go on travel.
Last Friday was worse, though. Besides the stress of the week, my parents went to court and they were officially divorced after 38 years of marriage. I try [hard] not to get involved but they are both feeling down. We are really close so it is not possible for me to disconnect from the situation.
I hope everyone has a great week!
I am also SO sick of the snow (and the 2 storms they are predicting this week)...I know living in NE it is expected...but seriously it is getting a little ridiculous and I am sick of using PTO for snow days! ugh...
I am also irritated as all hell with dh ...I know we need to upgrade his vehicle (truck which currently has 2 carseats squeezed in with the airbag turned off - perfectly legal but extremely tight) but I do not want more payments (we still have 4+ years on my vehicle which we just bought new when the girls arrived to replace my 99 saturn)...he is being a whiny PITA wanting this expensive extended cab truck or this one with this and I just want him to get something cheap and used for now so we can keep paying down debt...really he is being a brat about it and bringing it up constantly...(like I want to discuss it 1st thing on a monday morning)...
My in-laws are killing me lately. Last week FIL asked if DH and I would co-sign a $85K loan. Umm, HELL NO!
Then this weekend SIL asks if we would cohost a joint 60th birthday party for FIL and MIL...at our house. Arg. I really don't know how to approach this one. SIL is horrible with money, so the feeling I get is that not only would we (really just me) be planning this shindig, DH and I would also end up footing 90% of the bill. Dh's family is huge and I know the party would get really expensive really fast. This is just stressing me out. It's not like I don't want to do anything for FIL and MIL but I really did not expect to throw a huge party.
Me: One of the boys dropped my iPhone and cracked the screen. Instead of getting it fixed by a professional, DH decided to do it himself. So he ordered the new screen and it was working fine when he tested it. Then he noticed the screen didn't turn off when you put the phone to your ear (WTF?) and decided to go back in and fix that.
The phone has been a big blank screen ever since. Oh, and while doing all of this he crashed the hard drive on the MacBook Air. So now we are waiting for the new hard drive to arrive so he can re-load all my iPhone stuff. ARRGGGG!!
Meanwhile I am borrowing an old Nokia non-smart phone. I am shocked at how out of touch I feel without internet access, all my email accounts in one place, my calendar and contacts list and oh yeah, my password safe!
Gotta love a helpful DH.

Mine:
I set up a meeting to tell my boss that I'm pregnant at 1 today. I.am.so.nervous! I've only been working here for about 2 months. I like the job...and I feel like I'm letting them down. I know I shouldn't be thinking this way, but I can't help it. I know it's probably the LAST thing they're expecting from me since they know my dd is only 7 months! I've been putting this off as long as I could- I'm really just ready to get it over with!
I was hoping she'd be able to meet with me this morning so I wouldn't have to sit here and worry about it.
eta: I guess this isn't really a vent...I'm just stressing!
Oh boy did I need this post today...
My SL bill did not get mailed to me...probably lost in mail space somewhere since we moved on January 1st...and I remembered yesterday of all days and by then it was 2 days late...quick paid it online yesterday and called first thing this AM to b-itch them out and find out what the heck happened, since I had already done the address change weeks ago...
Now I just got off the phone with the post office because they've lost a package I was having shipped to me and truthfully I am more pissed about that because it was a new purse, and I needed something to be excited about since DH is travelling this week for work and left yesterday so now I am on my own for a week with two dogs and DS...and one of the dogs is sick right now

We have an amazing opportunity from a family friend (my parent's friend) that is going to be wonderful for DH/LOs and myself. We told MIL/FIL about it last week after things were happening legally in the process. Well, apparently they are now the experts on what we should do with this opportunity and how we should proceed.
DH and I just keep telling them that while legally the opportunity is now ours is isn't ethically ours for a while (long story) and we aren't making any decisions for a while. We are just going to enjoy it and respect the time we have left with the family friend. It must not be good enough as they think we should do xyz. Um sure, when we both work full time, have a toddler and are expecting #2 in June. Yup, sure. We'll jump right on with what YOU feel WE should do with OUR opportunity!
Thanks! I don't know why having the conversation is so awkward to me, it just is. I got lucky when I was pregnant with DD. Someone straight up asked me if I was pregnant in a group of people, including my boss! So, I never had to have a talk there. Plus, I'd been there for over two years so I felt more comfortable.
This situation is just...different. I'm sure it will be just fine though.
I'm way late but do need to vent.
I'd like AF to start or just go away. I've been spotting for 10 days now and I'd like her to either get it the fark over with or go away. It figures the first month we're going to try for #2 she decides to get all PCOS on me.
