Kind of need to rant...
caeraRose

I'm going to start out by saying that I'm sure I sound super whiny. But I'm going to go crazy if I don't word-vomit somewhere... If you want to ignore this by all means do.
We're having really bad storms today and last night, and apparently one of the windows in our master bedroom leaks a little bit of air. Normally this isn't a big deal, but because of the wind from the storms, this window vibrated really loudly off and on all of last night so that it kept waking me up every 30 minutes or so. So I got about 4 good hours of sleep last night, and I've been exhausted all day.
This morning, it was really important that I got to my 10am class on time, but I needed to print off my assignment at the library. Because of issues with the computer and printer at the library, I didn't have my documents printed until 10:20, which was way too late to show up for class, so now I have to take a 5% deduction on my final grade... I've already taken two because of morning sickness, so I'm looking at a pretty bad grade in that class for this semester.
I tried to take a break by getting lunch at my folks' house with my dad, but DH called me in the middle of lunch, pissed off that I was eating with my dad without telling him first, and also mad that I was taking this 5% deduction. I was pretty rude to him when I told him I didn't want to talk about it then, so judging by his emails, he's been harboring a grudge all day even though I tried to apologize about it.
I've had trouble focusing on homework all day because I'm so tired, so I haven't gotten much done, but I have done my best to stick with it and just accept the work that gets done.
When I asked DH what I could do to help his mood, he asked for meatballs, and was furious with me when I told him that I didn't know how to make meatballs and asked if there was anything else I could make.
Then I dropped my cell phone and lost it in the couch, and I can't look for it because I can't get flat enough on the floor to look underneath.
On top of all that, the freaking window has been vibrating really loudly all day and I can't drown it out, even with music.
Alright, so tell me, how crazy do I sound? -.-

Re: Kind of need to rant...
You don't sound crazy at all, you sound like you've had a really rough day. You also sound like a saint because you are trying to make your DH's day better when it sounds like the only thing bugging him is that you missed a class- so in my eyes it seems like he should be pampering you a little.
As for the meatballs, just ridiculous by the way, could you stop at the store and buy frozen ones? And why the heck should you have told him first before going to have lunch with you dad? Why does he care? Not to make your bad mood worse, but does he really expect you to tell him your every step before you take it?
As for missing class- it happens. Could you talk to your teacher about the deduction and ask for a little leniancy (spelling) due to your very pregnant symptoms? You can always make it sound worse that it is and maybe catch a little slack. Otherwise, don't sweat it or let your DH sweat it. Again, I don't understand why you missing a class would make him so pissed at you.
The rattling window- I feel you cuz all my doors do that in windy weather and it drives me absolutely nuts. Could you lean something heavy against the glass to stop the rattling? That is what I used to do. I have also used electrical or painters tape if I could locate the loose spot. Both those things work!
And sit back, have some juice in a wine glass, and let DH pamper you a little. Your day was worse than his! Go to bed early, and don't worry about missing a class now and then!
Ok, good, it's not just me. He was trying to say that I shouldn't "take back" my offer of making him whatever he wanted... I get that he's having a bad day, too, but it still seemed a little over-the-top.
You're the pregnant one, I'd tell him to suck it up and make me dinner, but that probably wouldn't help :P
You sound perfectly justified, just a bad day, hope it gets better!
Aww, I hope things go better for you soon! It always seems like a domino effect, especially on days when I'm lacking sleep.
And I give you lots of credit for trying to make dh's day better:)
This is totally ridiculous. I'd tell him where to put his meatballs.
I will cook what DH wants within reason...and meatballs are on the "hell no" list. I won't touch ground beef. I hate having it under my fingernails. But, he's smart enough to eat the damn frozen ones and not say a peep.
Thanks, guys
He turned out to be a lot more reasonable when he got home... I think some of it was me having my bad day and assuming he was more upset than I thought.
