The roof of my mouth is raw from the salt bagel I ate this morning. It hurts like a bitch.

tinyhumantoe · December 2013

1. Every time I look at DH, he is picking his nose. It's fucking gross and I'm never going to come on to him again because it's grossing me out that much. I'm so terrified that he will turn in to his father, and it's all I can do to not ralph in my mouth when I'm around him (FIL burps LOUDLY in the middle of dinner in restaurants, farts in public, and sounds like he's soiling himself half the time).

2. W is sick, again. Always sick.

3. MIL had 16 people over for dinner and it never occurred to her that she would need seating for..... well, 16 people.

I scrambled to find a card table right as dinner was being served (which got us to 13 if people sat on the sofa/held their plates). DH had no problem standing and eating, and I was putting W's portable seat to the side so she could sit on my lap. MIL was literally *physically* pushing me out of the way and fighting my efforts to move the chair, telling me telling me it was ok for W to have her own seat. It's like she was having a breakdown, and it was going to happen right there no matter what - it had nothing to do with me/the chair. I finally got the seat off, and took W to wash her hands; came back and it was back on (and it is a BITCH to get off). Round two of the physical tug and pull at the chair.

Then I went to get our food. She made the amount of broccoli that I would have made for my family of 2.5, and enough cheese sauce to feed 55. Everyone put like two tiny stems on their plate, and it was still long gone before I got up there. The au gratin potatoes were gone. The baked beans were gone. So W and I had some pork that was so dry you could not physically take a bite without drinking 8 oz of water. What the FUCK was she thinking when she made the dinner? She has known her numbers for 3 months. Oh, and the booster seat was back on the chair, again. Come on DH, tell your mother to take a fucking hike! He stood there and watched me go through that three fucking times? What a pussy!

She gets so fucking flustered when she has her family in town - her brain temporarily slides down next to her asshole has the intelligence of a fart. And quite frankly, she is a very sweet woman but she turns into a frazzled mean bitch when she's flustered. And I swear, I'm not making this up, it all comes down on ME..... because everyone else ignores her, and I'm too polite. So she snaps at me all day long, about everything that has nothing to do with me, and then apologizes 100 times. Which means she knows she's yelling at me. So stop after the first or fifth time, don't do it all day long.

Oh, and she and FIL think it's funny to give W rice crispy treats and say really loud, "Don't tell your mommy. She told us no sugar." W probably had a king sized bar's worth before dinner, and then she didn't eat anything. Hmm. You know what would have been nice for a sick child that hasn't eaten well in 3 days? Some nutrition. I can't even think about this because I'm going to explode.

That's what I call captain crunch / tombstone pizza mouth. Suckage!

It makes eating miserable for a day or two... which reminds me.... I think I watched a show on some tongue patch thing that made eating painful as a means to lose weight. Whaa??!

I probably didn't need to eat it so fast, either.

phytoocean · December 2013

The furnace for the second floor of our rental home cracked and now needs to be replaced to the tune of $7000, all because the tenant did not fill it with water like we asked. I realize that is a lot to ask a tenant, but dang. I will NEVER be a landlord again, ever, ever, ever, ever. I don't know how people do it and remain sane. We are going to try to sell this house the first chance we get in the spring, it has been nothing but a money suck.

Well, I'm pretty sure you don't develop the condition with cap'n crunch until your second or third bowl, or with Tombstone pizza until your 8th slice............ so I won't wag my finger at you getting injured from rapidly eating a single bagel ;-p

That sucks.

Why did it have to have water added? I've never had to do that, so I'm genuinely curious.

BPer · December 2013

Oh here's one...
My mom bogarted 2 klonopin from my nightstand the other day to take during her lengthy dental procedure last week. She told me later on, and I was all "Okay, maybe you should have told me, but too late now." I get a text this morning, asking what my dosage was, and I'm all "umm...why?", she had to go back for more dental work, and told her dentist that she had taken some of my medication, and asked him to prescribe some. Are you fucking kidding me? I'm probably on a watch list for pedaling a controlled substance.

Stasi · December 2013

THT - I would have lost it if that was me...the chair thing especially, I would have taken it off the chair, walked it out to my car and locked it in the GD trunk at that point...geesh! She seriously needs to consider catering.

@BPer - I think ice cream would probably fix your issue

Mine is directed at myself - I seriously need to stop spending money this month. I'm bleeding cash like it's no body's business (not enough to put us in debt, but enough so that I'm not putting any in savings and I actually "borrowed" a couple hundred....It's ridiculous.

tinyhumantoe · December 2013

@bper yah, that would fucking piss me off. Bigtime.

BPer · December 2013

H is out of town for the week. I start my job tomorrow. I'm sick with anxiety over everything going smoothly, Hannah STTN, my getting up on time, getting her to daycare, getting to the office on time...blah.

redneckmomma25 · December 2013

I really want a day or two in the House without the baby. Nothing is every fully completed. She's down to one nap so I have less time now to do stuff. Yes I can do some stuff while she is up but sometimes it's just not worth it because she makes a bigger mess than what I am trying to complete.i am thinking about trying to find a day care that would take her for a day. As long as it's reasonable it may be worth it. I've had to ask my IL'S to take care of the baby last week for a Dr appt, this Wednesday for almost 5 hours and then next week at least a day or two because of surgery. I desperately need to go to a dentist but have no one else to ask to watch her. So I can try and take time out of the one day I work to get n appt.

tinyhumantoe · December 2013

@stasi tell me what you've purchased! I've only spent $100 so far. I have 6 pairs of shoes for W (some were disappointing) and not a thing for anyone else.

Also, I'm not sure how I made it through the dinner at MIL's. There were a million other things. I just became numb.

She wanted us to stay the night, but there was not a room to put W in because she didn't fucking think about where everyone was going to stay (8 adults, 3 kids under 2 in a tiny 3 bedroom house... she gave BIL 3 bedrooms? huh?). She suggested we put the pack n play in the utility room with the furnace that they've had fixed twice because of carbon monoxide issues. "It's fixed now," she said. Uh, wasn't it 'fixed' the first time, except it wasn't? That's when DH said - get the bag, we're leaving. She cried and kept mumbling "bububut movie night'.

In my head I always describe her as being "horny" for family time. It's like getting your dog to coordinate a dinner when 20 cats just walked in the front door. No rational thinking, just spazmania.

@redneckmomma25

I think you should definitely see if there is someone available who can watch LO for even a half a day once a week. Maybe an in-home place?

@bper what is your new job? I forget!

redneckmomma25 · December 2013

Weekly definitely isn't an option unless it's free.

thebanich · December 2013

DS has been in CO with my parents since Friday and I feel more tired than I did when they left.

We had 7 different places to be this weekend and I got almost nothing done at the house. I slept like shit last night because DH kept ripping the covers off me and putting his mfing cold feet on me. I finally snapped at him and told him to put some damn socks on.

I almost stayed at home today so my coworkers wouldn't have to deal with my grumpiness.

BPer · December 2013

@tinyhumantoe I got a job at my old university, in the department of entrepreneurship and innovation. It's a brand new position, so I'm not entirely sure what all of my responsibilities will be yet.

MRoxy0628 · December 2013

I'm just sick of spending 2 1/2 hours (at a minimum) in the car everyday on my commute to and from work since it snowed last week. Blah. I think the worst part is that Lily is with me and she starts getting cranky after 30 minutes, so I have to say "Uh, we still have at least another 30 minutes to go."

misspunky · December 2013

I'm sorry for all you ladies

I feel like I really shouldn't complain but I'm about to start my period and I'm one moody bitch. Yesterday I swear every. single. person. in Walmart was a motherfucking idiot. Stopping in the middle of the main aisles abruptly so I almost rear end them with my cart, walking so close behind me that if I stopped their hands would've gone right up my ass.

My friends IRL suck balls for various reasons.

I have finals on Friday and I just want to bang my head on a door.

DD has had a double ear infection for 2 weeks now, is on her 3rd antibiotic since she was allergic to the first one, and she's still acting fussy, so I'm sure I'll have to take her back when her dose is done.

Our SUV is a POS. It takes 30 minutes for the heaters to come on and we have negative money right now. It also needs shocks/struts that we have negative money for.

That is sweet, because they probably won't know what you're supposed to be doing either LOL! That means you'll get to be proactive and initiate working on things you think you should / you want to handle, or you will be under-delegated and you'll get to bump a lot, HA!

I went on a girls weekend and now my tongue is swollen. Too much salt? MSG? booze?

******* TRAPPED IN A BOX!! *******

I've bought a coat, a baseball hat, Google Chromecast and boxers/white tees/socks for DH for Christmas

I've bought a magnetic doddle drawer, 2 books, craft supplies, and bingo daubers for Kate

I've bought my mom earrings (like $25, nothing fancy), dress socks, and a Real Simple subscription

I've bought my dad a book, a fleece vest, and something else, I can't remember right now...

I've also bought all my own presents. DH isn't good at it. I've got a 6-pack of EOS lip balms and I'm ordering a cute case for my Kindle Paperwhite I'm getting (which I ordered myself)

I also have spent about $50+ on stuff for stockings for all the people listed above

Movie tickets and iTunes gifts cards for nieces and nephews (6 of them) (I demanded a niece/nephew secret Santa for next year because it was ridiculous this year)

...and since we also do a secret Santa draw amongst DH's cousins that was $50 x 2 for those gifts...

Christmas cards + postage = $75

Extra grocery trips for holiday baking and bringing beer/wine to parties = $100

Tickets to a show + hotel room + dinner out as the "big" present for DH and I to each other = $350 (includes $40 for parking at hotel...ugggg)

There's a few more odds and ends....but, it's getting out of hand!!!

OceanLover26 · December 2013

DD keeps whining. Terrible 2's at their best and I swear I love her but I just want to leave.

My MIL started shit with me Friday on FB.

I have had a sore throat for over a week and my ears hurt.

The Scholastic book website is giving me error messages while I'm trying to login to order the kids some books. Damnit, I just want to order some books!!!

I shoveled snow yesterday so DH wouldn't have to when he got off work so we could hang out for a little while before bed. He instead complained that I didn't do it the way he would and that I forgot to put supper away.

Fuck you very much, bro.

That's grounds for a junk punch.

plus12012 · December 2013

My DH is acting like a child. He took the day off and keeps texting me asking about all the gifts I have piled in the guest room. I already told him to stay away from them but, he just can't keep from checking them out.

MrsManny · December 2013

We worked so hard and changed schedules and days off to make sure that we are at both sides of the family equally. We are spending Christmas Eve and some of Christmas Day with one side and some of Christmas Day and the 26 th with the other. Both are complaining that we won't be there long enough. I am about to lose it.

MarisaKathleen · December 2013

My complaints in no logical order:

1. I fucking hate winter. My skin sucks, I don't like driving in the snow, Nancy throws a fit when I bundle her up to go to the car and to top it off, my hair is so static-y from my headwrap thing today that I can't even figure out how to fix it.

2. I'm sick and tired of students calling me and complaining that they can't get into school in January. Hey dipshit. It's December 9th. The admissions process takes roughly 2 weeks if you actually get all your shit together, and then financial aid takes 4-6 weeks after that. It's not my fault that you JUST decided that you wanted to change schools a month before the start of a new semester and expected that to happen.

3. I rented The Great Gatsby (new one) on Saturday night and I really liked it. I also didn't want to nut punch Leo DiCaprio in it, which I considered a big deal.

4. DH is being sued over an account that was in collections 8 years ago when he was married to his first wife. It's been paid off since June 2009 and we have all the paperwork stating that, yet the attorney won't take phone calls and wants EVERYTHING in writing. And not emails, certified letters. It's taking all my will not to go sit in his office and just throw the paperwork at him and tell him to f off. We have sent the paperwork in twice. TWICE. It's getting ridiculous.

Pokedot · December 2013

We have to shell out $200 for our phones by Friday to get minutes on them (prepaid Tracfones.) That is for an entire year which is ridiculously cheap but in my mind I'd rather pay monthly than shell out $200 one time.

Almost all of my clothes for work are getting tight because my fat ass can't make it to the gym which then equates in my mind to eating all the things around me. Smart right? I haven't been going because I visit my Grandma on my lunch hour.

@tinyhumantoe I'd punch my MIL in the face if she did that crap to me. It would never happen because I'd actually need to spend time with her but still.

My neice's birthday was last Tuesday. I mailed her gift on her birthday after my exSIL finally gave me an address to send it. They move like, all the time. Case in point, I was given 3 addresses in the beginning of November. She called us last night to thank us for the gifts, instead of thanking us I was told all the things wrong with the presents. My exSIL complained. Then she got on the phone with only me to talk about herself for 45 minutes and proceeds to tell me that her children are her top priority. If I could have reached through the phone and choked her, I would have.

L8kissie · December 2013

Dd is up to 16 teeth. Wtf. She is still a bit of a piranha when she nurses.

tinyhumantoe · December 2013

@pokedot my pants are getting tighter and I am responding the same way............ eating more. I can already tell that I'm never excited to get ready to go anywhere because I feel blobby. So I really need to get on it. Sigh.

MommaP12 · December 2013

I am scurred of my CC bills in January since I didn't work the month of November and I've shopped like a loony. Oh well, I know it will get paid within a reasonable time (we don't roll over credit really, but I may have to once now).

My skin sucks too @MarisaKathleen. I'm a ponds addict at night and feel like I'm 90 for using it but it helps. I drink water like a fish all day too trying to hydrate from the inside out.

I want to shop for myself so badly. I could use some new clothes for my new job as well as shoes and a coat, but I'm trying my hardest to wait until after Christmas to get some deals and see if I get gift cards.

We're having our living room painted since we are listing our condo again and I'm dreading cleaning for the painter to come Monday morning.

FWP I know. I feel bad for you guys because you have it worse than me right now. Hang in there (insert cat on a branch poster picture)

ellebee2 · December 2013

In no particular order:

S was up from 3-4 last night, then up again at 5:15 for the day. Not sure why. Teeth maybe? Who knows but it is annoying as fuck.
I am crazy busy at work, but can't get anything done because I am waiting on people to get back to me on things and they are taking their sweet time.
Also, add me to the list of getting fatter/clothes getting tighter yet responding with eating all the things!

jenndub · December 2013

DS was supposed to have some special one on one time with his dad on Saturday, which would have been very exciting since it never happens. And the ex forgot about it and didn't show up. I called him at least 5 times, no answer. Beckett's little boy heart was crushed and I wanted to kill his dad. I'm so thankful that my husband is a great dad to the kids but I still wish their biological dad would step up more.

Also, it's 45 degrees in San Diego right now. I don't know how to act. I'm wearing gloves, but they're fingerless.

isacdimi10 · December 2013

I woke up to no voice, seriously I can get maybe one word out at an audible volume and then nothing. The kids think this is funny shit.

I've had a weird headache for a week that might be a post epidural headache, might be from the anemia or might just finally be my head exploding.

Oh and maintenance just informed me someone wrote "fuck you" on my van in the snow. I do not give a rats ass this morning, and it was in the snow... who cares!?

STUCK! @redneckmomma25, I have a friend at home that worked out a deal with another friend to take turns watching babies. It allows each momma once or twice a month to get time at home to themselves. Is that possible in your world? I hear you with struggling to get things done!

That's a great idea. I only have one SAM friend with kids though. But that is a good idea.

Did your ex ever respond? I would have been so livid!

DH is gone for work for a week. I have a low tire today so now I'm waiting to get my tire fixed with everyone in town who think they need snow tires since it snowed a skiff this morning.
