Poll: Things you are "over"

Ya, I'm trying to liven up the board 
I saw this poll on the D&R board last night and I actually found myself reading every single response. It was interesting 
So, what things are you just over?
I'm over taking 3 meds nightly just too be able to function (and not have anymore babies LOL
I'm close to being over Pinterest. 
I still go there for occasional new ideas. But mostly I just use it to check my own pins if I want to do something or cook something new. I rarely use it to browse for new pins anymore...and yes, I was quite addicted at first!
I'm over political parties. I feel so strongly about certain things on either side and both Rep and Dem alike have some major + and -s. I just hate how it has to be so "black and white" when it really is not. Agh, I'm awful about discussing it, but my brother and I had a great discussion this weekend that got me all riled up. I guess that makes me independent? Which then makes me feel like I don't matter (my vote)...it's just frustrating and I'm a new-ish citizen so I'm just now starting to really pay attention to it all. Why can't some great person come along who doesn't play all those games and has all the positives of both parties and yadayadayada I'm dreaming

Re: Poll: Things you are "over"
1) I am over living in Europe. It may just be that the process for moving back home is long and annoying as all get out, but I'm done.
2) I am over being a SAHM. I love love love my daughter. But I get no validation from the "raising my child" stuff. I pretty much dial it in many days. Not good for her at all. I cannot wait to get a job, any job.
3) I am over the riding boot trend. I am way too pear shaped to wear them without majorly accenuating my thighs and hiney-butt. GAH.
I like being an Independent. Your vote actually matters more, because hardcore Rs and Ds will be expected to fall into the party line once the general vote happens. Independents decide elections.
But I am over this presidential election, for sure. I don't think I'm going to watch TV from July through October, just so I can avoid the onslaught of negative ads. So far we in New Jersey have been spared that.
I am also so over being pregnant. It's funny; I loved being pregnant with DD. I loved getting bigger, I loved all the special treatment. It was an exciting time. This time, I just want it to be done. Everything is so much harder. Plus, I'm eager to start our family of four. Everyone says to enjoy the relative peace and quiet while it lasts, and they're probably right, but I still can't help hoping I deliver a little early. And I used to judge people like that!
1) I'm over being tired this pregnancy. I just want some energy so I can get some things done around the house.
2) I'm over none of my clothes fitting me. Regular pants are too tight, maternity are a still too baggy.
3) I'm SOOO over planning meals, wish I didn't have to think about it first thing in the morning.
1) I am so over skinny jeans. In fact I am going to buy myself some nice bootcut deark wash jeans this week. I look chubby in skinny jeans and hate it.
2) I am so over renovating our home. We are building a new house and needed to do some work to sell this place. We slept 3 nights at my folks while our place was painted and now I am trying to get DD back to sleeping at night and putting my home back together.
3) I am over my part time job. I was hired to work 10-15 hours a week. Then the manager quit and they fired 2 people. So now I am acting supervisor (for $1 more an hour, woppity doo lol!) and work up to 30 hours a week. I don't want to leave them high and dry but I am done.
4) I am over one of my friends. We went for coffee the other night and I sat their listening to her talk about herself. No two way conversation, she basically just lists all the great stuff in her life lol! I texted a friend to come surprise us there just so I would have someone to talk to, while this one rambled on about her perfect life lol!
To the moms who are "over" being pregnant - I could never understand the people that enjoyed it, I just couldn't stand it!!! Literally, the first thing that comes to mind whenever we talk about having another one isn't the work of two kids, the finances tightening, more room needed in the house - - - nope, it's the irritating thought of being pregnant again LOL!
Anyway, I'm seriously over the "what's for dinner" planning every night. I've only been SAH at home for six months, and I used to have a long commute from my office, so we used to do a LOT of take-out or DH would cook. But, now I feel like planning dinner is one of my SAH "jobs" or responsibilities and it's annoying the crap out of me.
You're right, these are fun to read! I was about to post a list of 100 things, but I guess to be "over" something, you should be "into" it at some point, right? So my politics, skinny jeans, twitter... list doesn't apply.
I am also *almost* over Pinterest. I was SOOOO addicted and am on it way less now. And I hate that everyone and their mother is on it now. I liked when it was still kinda "underground." I am over hearing how lucky I am to SAH. I am over Dunkin Donuts lattes, and i'm over 99% of the TV shows I used to watch. I just don't have the time or energy to follow shows anymore. There's only 2 or 3 I care about so I got rid of our DVR and don't miss it!
I'm over nursing. I really am. DS is 11 months, and he's got his allergy test in a week. As soon as I get the green light, I will start the transition into whatever milk he will be able to drink. I can handle the first morning session, and the night time one, but I'm over him nursing 4-5xs a day still. I enjoyed it the first 10 months, now Im just done.
Im sort of over pinterest too. I'll go on whenever I'm nursing DS or to look at my pins, but I too liked it better when it was my little secret.
I am over my 60 hour MA. I want to switch into the 30 hour program and be done, even though I am 57 hours in. I'm just over being in school. I actually really like my internship, but I am still just OVER being in school.
I am over DH's job. I hope another position in his industry becomes available soon.
I am over living in this town. I am bored here. I am tired of hearing how "lucky" I am to be living in a town with such an amazing university. Someone forgogt to tell the town that this NOT an ivy leauge school.
I was never into twitter, skinny jeans, crocks or most other fashion trends.
I am over the presidential election.
I am over hearing about The Hunger Games.
I am over listening to DH freak out about getting laid off. Maybe I sound mean, but so far no plans have been made to get rid of anyone at his job (it is possible though), and all he's been doing is moping for the last two weeks and being an a$$. And he has an interview next week, where he will most likely be offered the job - a little less pay but at least it's something.
I am close to being over Facebook. My news feed is clogged with 90% junk - "inspirational" quotes, links to news articles and videos that I don't care about, and people moaning and complaining about their lives.
I know there's more, so I'll come back if I think of any
I'm over this weather. We have a few beautiful days of 70+ weather and then it's in the low 60's and overcast.
I'm over Pinterest. Like everyone said, I go back to refer to some of my old pins but, that's it.
I'm over FB as well. Like pp said, my feed is clogged with inspirational quotes and crap like that.
I've been trying to think of things all morning that I'm over. I know there are a ton but I can't come up with any of them now. Gah!
Bim- great idea for this thread
1. I am so over politics. Just a bunch of tattling toddlers slinging poo at each other.
2. I am so over having a dog.
3. I am so over feeling run down.
4. I am beyond over being told I can't do my job when people keep giving me the wrong info. Tell me again who can't do their job?
DD#1~8/17/96------DS~10/24/05
I am over DH and his "second job" of being a baseball umpire, and the season hasn't started yet. All I hear is excuses of why he can't help with anything because he has to "work".
I am over rude people in general. I've encountered some real jerks in the last few days.
I am over my child never napping. I constantly have to struggle with him to get him to nap. It is so tiring.
I am over getting calls from our realtor telling my that I have to leave my house because we have a showing. What a PITA it is to pack up and leave on a whim, around meal times, when he's asleep...etc.
I am over the assumption everyone I know seems to have that I am always available for their needs because I am a SAHM.
I am over going to the grocery store and spending crazy amounts of money on food. Our grocery bills have increased recently and it sucks!
April '14 Siggy Challenge:
I am so over my MIL complaining that we never see them. Once a week is more than enough! Also, quit telling me that the baby is too young to have stranger anxiety and pretending like its my fault she doesn't want to hang out with during our weekly visit. No, I'm not leaving her with you again since she cried for the last two hours she was with you and you didn't even call me.
I am so over people who always have their hand out. I will not watch your child for free. I will not be throwing you a bridal shower (so stop hinting! I get the hint, I'm just ignoring it!) and having a potluck birthday party for your kid is lame. Just have snacks and drinks instead of expecting me to bring food and a gift!
I'm over not being pregnant...
I am just ready for it to happen already.
I'm over my Bump break...though it kinda seems like things have died around here.
I'm over winter and so ready for Spring.
I am over the rain. I have lived here for 30 years and I used to find rain cozy and charming. Now I find it a huge PITA as I lug my child in and out of the car to do simple errands. I told my DH that if his company asks him to relocate again (they wanted us to go to Israel last year and we declined), we should give it serious consideration.
I am over living in a construction zone. The developer of our neighborhood had a major slow down due to the economy and sold off the undeveloped lots. It is taking FOREVER to finish out the neighborhood, with probably another 2 years to go. I am tired of trying to time errands with when there are no cement trucks blocking our street and I can actually leave. Add to it that the people who purchased the private lot (not part of our neighborhood) behind us tore down and are rebuilding a massive house on the other side of our backyard fence to it, I am done. As a SAHM, I am here all of the time (mostly) and the hammering and loud noises are driving me insane.

I'm over working out and eating right and not seeing any results.
1) I'm over my ILs, and specifically their gift-grabbiness. No, I do NOT need to have a huge first birthday party for DS, and no I do NOT care about gifts from guests. DS will get plenty of gifts from us and grandparents.
2) I'm over people who try to shove their beliefs down my throat. My cousins are annoying as heck. It IS ok to formula feed, and G*d loves all people. So there!
3) I'm over living on a budget. I wish I could just work from home and have a paycheck again.
4) I'm sooo over keeping up with housework...and if I had a paycheck, I could hire a cleaning lady!
5) I'm over my constant desire for candy. I go out for it nearly every night, and I have at least one cavity per year. I'll be right back...
Don't give up on it! Or at least keep DVRing it and then deleting it so it doesn't get cancelled,ha! I looove that show!

Yes, everybody DVR it for those of us who love it! I adore it and even my husband enjoys it!
Fine, I'll give you that. But you have to continue DVRing it or else! That actress that plays Ivy kinda annoys me and I don't know why.

scattered, it's like cry me an effing river. You are loaded, a succesful Broadway writer, you have a nice husband, a healthy son and you're trying to adopt. Great!
But do not expect me to feel one iota of sympathy for the fact that you have had TWO affairs with the same guy and have some unhealthy attachment to him.
