SOMETIMES YOU ARE IN THE MOOD TO VENT

Well I have been meaning to blog for a while but every time I start you I only have negative thoughts swirling around in my mind so I decide to keep those little boogers to myself until now because if you can't vent sometimes you may actually blow a gasket so I thought I would just list a few things that are bugging me so that hopefully after posting them here I can let them go like fluffy snowflakes on the icy cold winter breeze......wow...thinking of snow if quite calming for me.

-Being 31 S.U.C.K.S...I feel like I am literally falling apart at the seams...thanks for letting me vent that out to you the other day on the phone Jess!!!!! :-) Like I told Jess it appears that I am 31 and instead of having a boob job or a tummy tuck I am more along the lines of a bladder tack...caused by getting old or having two large babies only 18 months apart with the last one weighing in at 9 lbs 14 oz...yep...that probably did my poor bladder in!!! So next week I have an appointment with my regular doctor for a followup to my appointment last week for a physical which is when they found the UTI and where I brought my leaking problem to their attention, an appointment with my OBGYN to find out once and for all if I am hormonal or just mean and to have my wonderful exam and an appointment with the urologist to discuss my issue...can't wait for the BCT...bladder control test...that will be a dump truck load of fun having them fill my bladder and then have them apply some sort of stimuli resulting in my peeing all over the exam table...that is what I heard takes place anyway. I AM FALLING APART DAILY!!!!

-WHY does Sam always pick the wee hours of the morning to wake up when I am already scheduled to get up at 4:45 for an out of town enrollment???? I left my house at 5:30 this morning after being up with him from 3:00 - 4:00. I enrolled people practically nonstop from 7:00 am - 6:00 pm tonight and I am BEAT. Those early morning snuggles are one of the sweetest things in the world...I guess one day I will really miss those when he is a big boy and too cool to cuddle up with Mommy.

-Why is my daughter such a drama queen at the tender age of 4 1/2????? Some days it is all I can do to deal with the moodiness, the drama, the extremely tender feelings, the meanness, the spitefullness and the temper that that little person possesses!!!! Even with all of those characteristis she is also one of the most caring and tenderhearted children I have ever met...that is what keeps me going I suppose.

- WHY is my husband a horses ass???? Ya'll he really is. Practically every word that he utters is a smart ass remark. He is becoming his grandfather before my very eyes and there is nothing I can do about it. (Jamey's grandmother told me that her husband...the one Jamey obviously inherited his horses assness from made her so angry one day over the subject of a frozen chicken she bought that she whapped him with the chicken and I can TOTALLY relate with that!!! Jamey's grandmother is the one who coined the name Horse's Ass for Jamey and she referred to her husband of 50+ years as that as well. :-) Jamey is not only this way toward me to to EVERYONE he knows. His negativity really wears me out sometimes!!!! I know you guys and I know that there a few of you who are automatically thinking of things to come to his defense so I will give you an example of what I am talking about....I come home from working what...including driving time almost 14 hours today and this is our conversation....Jamey says, "What are you going to cook?" I respond, " I have a frozen bag meal...if you will give the kids a bath I will go ahead and cook." He adds his wonderful remark, "Grrrreat a bag meal. Lord forbid you ever make meat and vegetables. And you ALWAYS buy the garlic stuff!!! You know I hate the garlic and that is all you ever buy." I pause from my task of folding a couch load of clean clothes to just blankly stare at him. If I had had the frozen bag meal in my hand at the time I would have probably whapped him with it!!!! This is a TEENY tiney glimpse and later he proceeded to go back for a second helping of the garlic pasta stuff that he HATES!!!! Please keep in mind that most nights we are a meat and two veggie kind of family for dinner. But he must be smoking crack rock if he thinks I am going to do that on a night like tonight when we are already behind with dinner, baths, story time, teeth brushing and the after the hours I put in. Sometimes I think he just likes to bitch...just to be bitching. I have said before that I would probably be bored out of my mind to be married to someone who is mushy gushy constantly but being a smart ass constantly is quite irritating at times as well. Okay I will remove my fangs from my husbands butt and move on.

-The other day I was thinking of a "why bother" list....things like....why bother have a dog if you are going to keep it on a chain in your yard? Why bother going to a field trip with your child to the Nutcracker, have the best seat in the house and stay glued to your blackberry the WHOLE time without looking up at the show ONCE or sharing in your little girl's excitement about the show? Why bother getting your little girls decked out in perfectly pressed name brand monogrammed clothes with the huge hair bow on their head just to go to preschool where they get covered in glue, paint,markers, glitter and go outside where they get covered in wood chips and grass stains and their $15 hair bow gets tossed to the ground and stomped on? (Some people must truly have more money than sense.) There were more but those are the only ones I can recall at the moment.

-My FIL...aka Couch Camper is coming this weekend....correction....TOMORROW....crap...tomorrw is Friday. It isn't horrible when he comes because he really does do a great job at entertaining the kids while he is here and I get a little more free time than normal but having someone in your house every 4-6 weeks for several days on end gets a little old. The kids do adore him and I shouldn't complain that he wants to see them so often but 24/7 for several days about once a month is a lot.


I better run...I better do a little cleaning since my house guest will be arriving tomorrow afternoon around 5:00...good thing I am taking off 1/2 day tomorrow!!!! I have a date with my mop I guess!
