One thing that recently pissed you off.

Re: One thing that recently pissed you off.
This only pissed me off for a second before I saw how utterly dumb my BIL's ex is. Yesterday BIL says his ex texted him that she didn't want their daughter (he has full custody of her) to be around me because their 3 year old DD was trying to nurse her stuffed elephant. I am the only one in the family that has nursed their baby, and their DD has asked me about nursing in the past so she knows something about what it is. BIL was cool with it, he says it's only natural and he wishes his ex would have BF'd their DD, but she refused to even try because she didn't want her "tits to go saggy".
I was pissed for about half a second, then burst out laughing at how ridiculous she is.
just one?
the latest is hot dog stuffed pizza crust. Also the fact that might right foot is so f'in swollen I can't wear anything but flip flops. I have a super fancy charity thing on wednesday and now I have no shoes to wear. Actually debating on wearing my left shoe and wrapping my right ankle and telling every one I rolled it. ...maybe getting some crutches. Will feel less lame than just wearing flip flop to a fancy event.
ETA: sad face
Just one. ::serious face::
THis si somewhat silly but yesterday my SIL called me 2 times. I didn't answer bc DD was in the bath and I didn't want to leave her to go get the phone. (Caller ID after the bath is how I knew she called.)
20 minutes later she just SHOWS up at my house and is ringing the bell with her 3 kids. If I didn't answer, don't ya think I'm busy?? I am totally not the "drop by" kind of person and it was a holiday, DH was working and I was trying to wrangle DD and get myself and all our crap ready to go to my moms.
I opened the door long enough to tell her DD was running around naked upstairs and that I'ld talk to her later.

This morning I asked DH to take the shopping cart cover out of his car b/c I am taking LO grocery shopping with me after work. He forgot to. Then I couldn't find my phone. I convinced myself that DH not only forget to leave me the shopping cart cover but also took my phone by accident. I spent the entire morning commute cursing DH. When I got to work I called him and was all cranky. Then I found my phone in my purse and realized that I was upset over a shopping cart cover and a cell phone.

My mom and dad divorced about 4 years ago. My mom married a wonderful man last August. He has 3 sons. I have no idea how these children are his, b/c they are awful. The oldest is 24, the youngest is 19. The middle one, at Easter dinner last night, makes some comment about he and some girl got caught in the bathroom of a bar. This was me --->
. My flipping kids were at the table. My stepdad and my mom told him to watch his language in front of the kids. Now, my family is pretty open and we can be raunchy at times, but WTF?? His boys constantly say shiit to get a rise out of people. I was pissed though.
ETA: the bump took "fuckings" out of my post. He said "fuckings" w/o the s. Just to clairfy.
An idiot co-worker irritates me daily M-F. Last week, she stopped by my office to check an application file. Normal people would take the file back to their office; she pulls up a chair just behind my computer and sits for 15min while trying to make small talk. And heaven forbid she knock on my door when she shows up, she's already told me "your office really isn't just your office you know, with the files and office typewriter in there" (that she never needs/uses anyway)
This morning she randomly didn't show up until noon. No phone call, no courtesy 'by the way, I'm here.' And if you ask, you'll get some long winded excuse like 'I was up until 10pm last night checking work email so it was last-minute comp time." Sometimes union protections really suck...
I was driving home from the store about an hour ago. We were on a one way downtown residential street and a guy was getting in to his car. His door and he are both in the middle of my lane. He looks at my car (and the line of cars behind me) and it's like the dude was trying to stare us down jedi style. Get in your effing vehicle! You are in the middle of a busy road. Who does that? "Oh gee, there are cars coming at me, I'm in the road, maybe if I look at them long enough they will turn in to airplanes and fly over me."
I would have been angry beyond belief. That is one of my biggest pet peeves. I watched my mom turn my niece into a little monster by doing things like this. It is so hard to teach children how to behave when others interfere.
On Saturday night we had a date night planned. Dinner and a movie, nothing too special. We had a sitter lined up that had worked for us before. We get all ready to go, and she doesn't show up. Didn't call or anything. I was PISSED. At least we didn't have reservations or anything.
Needless to say, I've been calling other sitters all morning and setting up interviews.
On Saturday I wanted to take some staged pictures of LO. I packed the props and set everything up by myself. I asked my DH to help keep her in a particular area and get her to smile. After first, while LO is in a good mood, he puts in minimal effort. I fuss and he starts to really help, but by this time my LO has had her fill of picture taking. If our LO is not happy with something, that he finds unnecessary, he wants to fix it. I cannot get him to understand that even if she is not happy at first, once we convince her it is a game and fun she will forget I have a camera. I am a photographer at heart and have very few good staged pics of my LO. I have tons of great pics of my family and friend's children, but few of my own. This really upsets me. I guess primarily because his lack of cooperation. I know I may get bossy, but no more so than I am with friends and family when I take pictures of their children.
We went to visit my ILs for Easter a couple hours before we were due at my parent's house for dinner. We are doing Easter with the ILs next weekend, but I thought they'd like to see A all dressed up and I brought his basket over so they could take pictures. My MIL bought him some Easter cookies and started feeding them to him without asking me. She then said that she thought he was hungry and asked if she could fix him dinner. I told her that we'd be eating at my parent's in about 30 minutes but that he could have a little cheese or something. She proceeded to fix him a big old plate of food and THEN started feeding him Jello, without asking, when I was in the bathroom. He polished off most of the cup and got a red stain on the front of his nice Easter sweater because she didn't use a bib.
He didn't eat anything at my parent's house and proceeded to scream throughout dinner because he wasn't hungry and wasn't happy that he was in his high chair.
My son's preschool is 3 minutes away. This morning, they were doing construction at the one intersection we have to go through. No biggie, roads need to be repaved from time to time.
I sit through one round, but I left early so still no big deal. I get up to the sign guy and he switches it as soon as I get up there. Crap! Sucks, but it happens.
I sit there, and I can see the other traffic going through. All 3 directions go through. Then all 3 directions go AGAIN, as we still sit there. Those asshats let the other three directions go a third time. I was spitting nails. We sat there for just over 15 minutes. A 3 minute drive turned into 30 minutes.
Will I still be upset tomorrow? Probably not. Pretty fired up about it right now, though!

Its one of those situations where you say that you still have to raise them with manners the rest of the time and if they will not be helping, you will be reducing LOs time at their home. Its not being mean. Its being consistent. They are too young to differentiate that much, and if you dont do it now, you will wind up with a kid like me, calling grandma internationally to tell on you for not letting her get the dress she wants for prom, and then your parent will get on the phone and give you a lecture. Fruck that.

I spend a lot of time pissed off. Stop giving me venues to release the inner biitch in me.

Kitiara: think of it as e-therapy.
I have a new one! Monday is one of DH's days off. he was suppose to go to the snow with my brothers but he decided he didn't want to have to rush there after Easter dinner. That was fine. His added that he also wanted to spend time with us. That was great. Oh yea and he wanted to golf. Well that throws hanging out with us out the window because that takes 5 hours. He left at 9 and by the time he got home it was 2.
2 is rather early in the day, right? That's not that bad. Well, an hour after he gets home he must have gotten bored or something and he says "I only played 9 holes, maybe I could go and play the back nine since C is napping and we aren't doing anything." That pissed me off. I just shut down and told him he's free to do what ever he wants. His friend who he was going to go with flaked I guess, so he ended up not going. I was already too upset with him though, I was able to get a lot of cleaning done while I was ignoring him. So that's a plus.
FWIW, I have come to terms with his golfing, he needs something to do and I would rather it be golf than gambling or one of his other old habits. My issue is, if he had just said "I think I'm going to play golf instead of going to the snow." that would have been better than saying he wanted to spend time with us when he obviously wasn't going to. I'm a baby about that stuff, plus I'm on my period AND Mirena has been making me have sh!t fits for no reason. Now every time he gives me a reason I almost spontaneously combust.
ETA: I realize that ignoring him defeats the purpose of wanting him to be around. I'm a jerk.
One of my good friends acting really cold toward me and I can only theorize as to why. She has done this before. Feel like I'm in high school.
DH's grandmother came and stayed with us Saturday night to help with DS after my miscarriage/D&C and DH's food poisoning.
She means well, she really does, but the best way I can describe her is that she is a little off. She asked Sunday afternoon if we wanted her to stay again and we thanked her, but explained it would not be necessary. She about lost it. She says "If I am not going to be any help, I might as well just leave." But she was being nasty about it. She started getting teary eyed and just becoming really upset. Thankfully, DH got her calmed down, before I had to say something. We told her to stay and hang out. We were renting a movie and going to eat dinner, but she just kept saying we didn't want her there or need her, so she was just going to leave.
She did something similar to this when my nephew was born. She wanted to watch niece, but my BIL and SIL had already made arrangements and she wanted to drive back to NC (she lived there at the time) because she felt she was not needed and no one wanted her there. She is a bit of a drama queen. I just really didn't need it with DH being sick and me feeling the way I did.
