I need a Vents post... add yours...

I could not be grumpier today.  DD1 is getting over some horrible respiratory virus (which luckily did not turn into pneumonia this time), and just as DD1 felt better, DD2 started hacking.  All she wanted to do today was snuggle.  And I really needed to come in to work today.  Feeling like mother of the year.

Found out that my mom and sisters planned and had a wonderful holiday outing yesterday.  My mom let me know after the fact.  I just said, "Oh wow, how nice that you were all able to get together!"  She knew I was hurt.  Didn't occur to any of them to see if I'd like to join.

DH is giving me a hard time about going out for a holiday dinner with a couple of girlfriends.  Recently, most of my old SAHM friends have been excluding me from their get-togethers.  See above - even my own sisters are excluding me now.  So some working mom friends invited me out, and he's pushing back a little.  I haven't been out with friends without the kids since AUGUST.  I'M GOING TO DINNER, DAMMIT!

    Here's mine-

    DS's daycare provider (in home), text me last night that DC will be closed today due to everyone in her household having the flu. So of course I had to scramble to make last minutre babysitting arrangements.

    All last week, I've had to work longer hours and add Saturday on top of that for an inspection this week, that I was already prepared for. One team, one fight- so we all come in even if my job is squeaky clean. The inspector was supposed to come in at 9, and here it is! Almost 11 and still anxious because he hasn't shown up yet.

    That's all I got.

    I have a horrible head cold which kept me home bound most of the weekend. I am exhausted today and my supply has tanked bc of it.

    DS2 is having surgery super early tomorrow, an hour before surgery, and we need to leave the house 30 minutes before daycare opens. So DH has to wait until he can drop DS1 off at daycare then rush to the surgery center and hopefully he will be there in time :-(

    I am also so sick of my mom claiming she wants to do something with DS1 and then making all these dumb excuse about how such and such day won't work.

    I'm so tired that I have the thumping muscle under my eye thing happening. And my stomach is killing me whenever I eat for some reason. I'm waiting for a 1:00 hearing and afterwards I really should pump in the car but I just want to get home ASAP. I forgot my handsfree bra so no pumping and driving. I wonder if I could prop the bottles up in my nursing tank and fall asleep while I pump in my backseat!

    Ooh - I hate that.  I had that last week because DD1 was sick and DH was traveling.  I always feel like it's really pronounced that that everyone can see it...

    My vent is that after ten weeks of being on maternity leave I have returned to an office that has become a storage space, nothing has been done despite the to do list I was required to make before I left. Oh and my office is flooded .... All of which I am supposed to fix ... can I go home to my baby now?

    Nothing to add vent-wise, but your H "pushing back" when you simply want to go to dinner with friends = unacceptable. 

    There's never even a question when it comes to nights out for DH and I.  We each support the other going out with friends alone when the opportunities come up.  Period!

    Yeah, typically he's fine with it.  I think he's as overwhelmed and exhausted as I am.  I was pissed at first, but I'm trying to cut him some slack. 

    But I'm still going out.  No question.

    Here's my vent:

    The roads here have been covered in snow and ice for a week and a half and my commute has been twice as long every day.  I'm taking two online courses - I don't know what I was thinking - I don't have time for that!  So stressed trying to finish up the final assignments.  The windshield on my car  grew a big crack in it last week and on the same day I dropped my iPod touch and cracked the screen.  I guess it's time I get an iPhone, lol!

    Here's mine: My husband is forcing me to go to a holiday get together with one of his civilian co-workers, who just so happens to be 20 years older than my h. I'm also nearly a decade younger than my h. We will be, by far, the youngest people at this gather. I desperately don't want to go and am considering working OT to get out of it.
