Vents/whines/FFFC's-post em here!

whine: I'm so over work. I've had more time off this year than any other so far in my enlistment, but work has just been one administrative failure after another that I have to go in for anyway. Ugh. 129 days!
And my FFFC is that I've convinced myself I have some sort of brain tumor. There can be no other explanation for the RIDICULOUS sex drive that's come on out of nowhere. DH spends his days avoiding me in the house because I try to jump him every 10 minutes. Actually convincing him to do me is almost worse, because it only makes the drive that much stronger as soon as we're done. I'm starting to annoy myself even, it's so bad, but I seriously can't stop thinking about sex for more than a few minutes before I'm just horny as hell again.
The really flameful part? it's so bad at times I've considered heading to the bathroom to ...take care of things....at work on some nights.

Re: Vents/whines/FFFC's-post em here!
Wahoo for an increased drive! I'm a little jealous.I never want it at the right time, usually it will hit me about 1pm or something stupid, but by the time I get home, it's gone.
My FFFC- I registered to run a 10k tomorrow (my first one!) way back in October, and everything that can go wrong, is. The 2 people who were supposed to run with me had to back out, DH is going to be getting out late tonight which means we are going to have to drive like crazy to make it in time to pick up my packet/bib tonight, MIL is throwing a fit about the time I need to drop DS off, and it has just been crazy around here. I know all of this is out of my control and not anyone's fault, but I am about to throw a hissy about that fact that it's going to He!! in a handbasket and no one seems to know or care how important this is to me. Rawr! /vent.
Haha, I just posted a loooong vent on the Multiples board vent thread, but I can be an AW and C&P it here too.
1. I would settle for any help I could get right now. Ok, if my H were home and being a jerkface about helping out I'd be pissed too, but really I'd settle for just about anything from anyone at this point in time. (And luckily I almost never have to complain about him because he's amazing with the housework and kids.) I am exhausted. My house is a disaster (IMO anyway) because I am too tired to get up and clean during the few times I actually get to sit down and relax during the day. Sometimes the rinsed off dishes sit in the sink for a day or two before making it to the dishwasher. I am never done with laundry. Their playroom hasn't been cleaned up in almost a week now, and you can barely even walk through it at the moment. I know that I need to buckle down and really CLEAN, like now when they're actually playing nicely together, but I'd rather either sit here on the internet or do things that relax me like sewing and photography.
2. These toddler attitudes have me at my breaking point. Especially Nathan's. I hate labelling either of them, but good grief he has become extremely high needs lately. On top of the outright defiance, he's also going through an "I miss my Daddy so I'm going to cling to Mommy every second of the day" phase. I feel like my level of exhaustion is making me a horrible mother on top of everything else. I yell more than I want to (which really isn't much, but it's more than I like and it really is counterproductive). I started reading 1-2-3 Magic last night and I think we're going to try that out to hopefully save my sanity, and allow us to not yell at each other so much, and maybe start enjoying our time together more. I don't have high hopes but we'll see.
Leslie - I would so come and help you if I could. Is there anyone you could just ask to come help? I know nothing about military life, but are there resources for Mothers with deployed husbands? I mean, you have two toddlers at home and you've been by yourself for nearly a year. There's no doubt in my mind you would gladly return the favor. Maybe you should start an organization, in all this free time you have.
I don't think I have a fffc except that I'm in the week between spring and summer school semesters and I've worked about 10 hours this week and have just been hanging out at home spray painting stuff. It's glorious. I'm semi-bored, though.
We need the BotB time and space travel machine. Leslie, there's a bunch of us no doubt that would be there in a heartbeat to give you a break.
My FFFC: OMG. Pinterest. I am glued to that site way more than I ought to be. The last thing I needed was another time stealer, but oh I love that site.
And my whine: I feel icky today, and the weather is crap. I just want to sleep.
LOL, I wish. I've got good friends here that would help, but they've got kids and problems of their own and I'd feel like a jerk for asking since we're all in the same place right now. We do get some free childcare hours each month (16 per kid) and I almost always use all or most of those, but less than 4 hours a week is a drop in the bucket you know. And I could get maintenance to come mow my yard if the grass ever grows, and they'll take care of household problems that we would otherwise be responsible for handling ourselves, but other than that there's really not much. I mean I could get help like a cleaning lady or babysitters, but we're trying to save as much money as we can since he'll be getting out of the military in about 1 1/2 years and we don't really know what to expect during that time as far as money goes, with moving and finding new jobs and all.
I think I'm just in a worse place emotionally after everything that's happened this week, and it's making things seem a lot more difficult than they really are. That and I usually reach a "fvck it all, I'm done" point right at about 9-10 months into a deployment anyway.
I am tired of working and hate having to be here every day.
I don't know if this is a FFFC but....I feel like if I complain about being tired or the boys crying, people judge me. I have even been told to be grateful and "you wanted kids." are you kidding me? So, I can't be tired or frustrated? I am VERY grateful my boys are here and are healthy. But yeah, sometimes it gets too much and I feel like I want to scream, or get a bottle of wine. They are my angels and I love them so much but it's hard. Just to get 10 minutes to shower is a task. So, I just want to tell all these people who are thinking that about me or have made a comment, to shut it. It's hard no matter what the situation is.
My FFFC:
I may or may not have had too much to drink last Saturday night. I went to church with a bit of a hangover. Not the headache/light sensitivity thing, but nausea and dizziness. I've had more than a few church people hint at me in the last week about me being pregnant. It feels so wrong, but I can't help but laugh hysterically.
Due 3.1.12

Wood you? Wood too!
I feel like this is actually flameful, so you can flame me.
I'm tired of working. I don't want to work when we get back to NY. I just want to be a SAHW until I get pregnant and can be a SAHM. Not that I think it's easy or all fun and games, I'm just tired of working out of the house. There's no reason for me not to work. I should be thankful that I have a job, a lot of my friends and family are in tough positions right now because of the economy. It's just selfish and lazy.
But I dream about it every friggin day.
I feel the same way about my cousin's gf and my bf from college. Bf is due the same day as me and has been wanting the kid to be born since 35 weeks and cousins gf has posted about every twinge and everything for weeks and is due the day after me and is getting induced I think this week if she doesn't have the kid like now cuz heaven forbide she be pregnant a second longer. It takes a lot not to yell at them.
No flames, here. I get tired with one baby & a 10 year old in the house.
My FFFC:
I feel like I'm quickly turning into a bitter infertile. Even though we don't have a diagnosis, since I set up an appointment with the RE, I feel like I'm "there". But today has been the worst of it. It doesn't help that my friend/coworker announced her (surprise) pregnancy last week, a close friend gave birth Monday, my SIL is due in 2 weeks (with a surprise baby), & a chick I really can't stand just announced her 6-week pregnancy on FB the day after she got back from her honeymoon (even though she announced her previous pregnancy at 4 weeks & then had to retract it when she had a m/c).
Honestly, I'm really happy for all of them (well, maybe not the FB girl as much), & I suspect this is all hitting me today because it's been such a crappy day anyway. & I really don't want to be "that girl". I don't want to be bitter about other women's fertility, because I know it has no bearing on my own, & who knows what their journey was like? But today, it sucks.
Who wants wine?
Amanda ate 3 mcnuggets yesterday. I was just going to let her have a bite, but she loved them. It;'s so hard to get her to eat. I was just thrilled she ate something.
For shame! lol Em loves mcnuggets. A few nuggets aren't going to kill my child. As long as that's not the only thing you feed her you are just fine.
