small vent - anyone else have one today?

theimpossibleastronaut · December 2012

I know everyone has problems and I am very lucky and fortunate, but can I just vent a little today?

DH's car has been acting up so it's in the shop. The mechanic calls and says it's going to cost about $1000 to fix. Ouch. Merry freaking Christmas.

I know we'll make it work, but I'm just a little bummed about the huge expense right before the holidays.

Also, all bras suck. There, I said it. :P

Anyone else have a small vent they'd like to get off their chest today?

I work in Higher Ed and our office has about 20 ppl. Of those 20 there are two individuals who do not do a damn thing. They are so lazy but 'always busy'. We have 4 individuals out sick and everyone has offered to help out except them. We are gearing up for Spring classes and busy. They are so annoying and I have no clue why they still have a job. If preggers can help out so can you....vent over.

I'd love to know why I feel like I'm going to throw up and pass today. I've almost gone home from work twice, but then I'll start feeling better. If I pass up in a puddle of throw-up in my cubicle I'll never live it down with my colleagues.

At first I was like "no not really" but after reading yours I do have a few, lol.

We also seem to have expenses that crop up out of no where, but it's constant, not just holidays. One of our sliding doors on our van died and we estimate over 1000 to fix it...so we can't get it fixed right now, because my son (almost 13) is getting braces in the middle of December(500 dollars for tooth extraction surgery in prep for it, then 500 dollars for initial payment for the braces). Not to mention the 1500 dollars we just had to drop on a new mattress/box springs cuz of multiple problems we've had with our current one and a new frame we just purchased at a consignment shop(the shop mislabeled the frame and it didn't fit. We didn't take it back because it was such a great deal on a REALLY nice bed set. We turned it into a positive though, my mom is getting an almost new mattress and box springs from us that she desperately needs).

My other small vent is, the toilet down stairs stopped up and I can't find the plunger. I had to walk upstairs to do my thing this morning, grrrr. Although I must say it's much better than when I was a kid and we only had one bathroom and my mom couldn't fix it so we had to wait for the apartment to fix it...but in the mean time we had to use it...and then she accidentally drops her keys in there before leaving to work. Ewwww. lol, so I guess my situation is not so terrible.

Mine is stupid & a tmi...

I cannot have an orgasm without it causing a painful contraction... I am getting VERY frustrated at this! Lol.

And I can't wash the dishes without breaking my back because of my belly being in the way to reach properly.

The end.

I am going to vent about ME! I have been super negative and whiny since a week ago Sunday - when I *peed on the couch out of nowhere while sitting next to DH*. Yup. I was so embarrassed and upset that I have been in a funk for more than a week. But I need to just get over myself and deal with the degradation that is pregnancy. Baby is healthy, I am healthy, and my life is generally great - humiliating incontinence notwithstanding.

My goal for the rest of the week is: to stop complaining to my sweet DH every second of the day, and to otherwise enjoy my life while starting to work on my prebaby to-do list in a constructive way.

All that said, my real vent is: MY COUCH SMELLS LIKE PEE UGGGGGG THIS IS AWFUL. (That's how it sounds in my head, I swear.)

I'm re-posting this from another thread since I realized it was also a mini-vent. Neither one of us have been insured with health insurance for about five years. When we found out we were expecting, I tried for government care but after we were rejected I realized that I don't want the hassle with all of that. We want to go with USAA as our insurance provider but there is a problem: neither my husband nor I are eligible while I am pregnant. Messed up, I know. It should be that we could at at least get coverage with exemption to the pregnancy but that's not the case. I can't believe DH can't even get covered while I am pregnant!

So as soon as LO is born we are filing with USAA but until then I am confused and pissed.

Mine is I'm so freaking tired I feel like I can't get anything done! Yesterday I dozed off on the couch with my morning coffee (decaf), and DH let me sleep... until 2:30pm!!!! By then I had to go get DD from school and the ensuing chaos began.

Today I have had the most wretched heartburn all day that the back of my throat feels like I have nails stuck in it. And I'm tired.

Oh... and the Christmas tree is out of water, but if I get down to the floor to water it, I can't get back up.
