End of rant
Edited;
I swear I was done complaining till I went to check my facebook before starting to clean th. whole house and get ready for this nightmare of tonight until I see my SIL hanging out in york, pa the same place my family was leaving the last three years up til last year which shes was too far to visit despite DH practically begging her to come visit with our nephews, but now that we don't live there she can hang out and go to the mall there and just play around half the day. Just one more reason I can't stand my in laws it's such a classic move for them to get me all upset especially when I about to see them and have not many choices but to be quiet about it. I just want to scream at how ignorant they are!

I volunteer for a cat rescue organization in my area and they have several closed groups for volunteers/fosters/adopters, one of them being a medical group. Well I posted about my own cat that didn't come from this group, asking for ideas what might be the issue - well the next day isn't there a post from one of the runners reminding people that this group is for their cats only and not personal cats, because it will cause the group to get cluttered. Umm the group gets MAYBE one or two posts a day, if that, so my one post isn't going to clutter the group. I just feel like one of the organizers of this group are quick to criticize, when everyone is just trying to help (we are all volunteers after all).

So my senior cat thinks peeing on the floor is just as good as the litter box (awesome on hardwood floors in a rented house!) - but did I not just discover that when she actually does use the litter box, the fucking thing leaks?! Seriously all her pee seeps through the cracks and pools under the box and I didn't notice it until I moved the box to clean the mess I did notice and there was a serious size puddle! I mean I needed 6 paper towels to cover the size of this puddle!! I threw the fucking thing out (I have 2 other boxes set up) but of course my hubby is saying the garbage guys won't take this bag, and I said to try (no animal is going to get in it, it just a hooded litter box and litter) but he had to fight me on it and I want to be "seriously?! Can't you see I'm annoyed right now and you want to fight me on putting out a fucking bag of garbage?!" Ya I can't deal with this shit right now! And he keeps saying get rid of the cat (which my mom said I can bring her there) but I feel like a shitty pet owner just considering it so instead I come here and bitch
So...like @LauraPCOS I'm back again to vent.
Also, can't you play the, "I'm pregnant so I can't be dealing with cat litter" card and make your hubby clean that floor? I don't have cats, but if I did, you can bet that would be my plan of attack.
Also, these maternity work pants from Walmart.com are ridiculously uncomfortable. In what world are "maternity" pants the tightest in the stomach/hip area but loosely fitting down the legs?? Although I like feeling what I think are her kicks, I do NOT enjoy feeling them more because she's squished in there - it's like I'm sleeping on my stomach. I hate online shopping and Walmart in general, ugh
@ashleymn - I'm a carrier of a genetic disorder that my dad was told (back in the day) there was zero way for me to pass to my kids because I don't have the disease actively. They were wrong. I don't have the disease actively, but my kids have a 50/50 shot of having it actively or being a carrier. My point in all this is, I'm glad you did what you felt was best, not what your MIL felt was best. My dad SWORE there was no need for genetic testing, that his doctor said there was no way for me to pass on the disease and after getting the testing I insisted on, I'm glad we did.
edited because.... typing is hard
@F47 anything surgery or junky I'm in! I've tried the whole "I'm pregnant" argument with hubby but he says the smell of cat pee makes him gag and puke and it's been a fight but I can't let the boxes go 9 months, that's just gross.
I'm annoyed by the, Can't Decide on a Name, posts with sketchy links for me to click on to vote... from people who literally NEVER contribute to this board. Nope nope nope. Not going to vote or contribute... or invite that virus you probably have embedded in that link into my computer. thanks.

We did "no phones over the holiday weekend", so today is my Monday damn it- My gripe is how much work we had to do over the weekend. Spray for bedbugs (ended up finding one dead tick in my bed, nothing more), having to stay out of my house while it aired out, washing virtually every bedding or clothing item we have, plus stuffed animals, and working on remodeling the garage into a master bedroom so the current master can be a nursery. And furthermore, how much more work we have left to do =/ at least we have no bugs. That's a plus.
@jennjenn81713 thanks for the idea...I might try to put in some kind of cat door or, I could swear the one day I saw a gate that has a cat door too! We shall see haha...
