Has this week pretty much stunk for anyone else too?

[C.Ann]

Sorry to hear you've had such a rough week..

Mine has been great.. Actually, except for that fall I had a couple of weeks ago, all of my weeks in 2010 have been pretty awesome so far...

Here's hoping it continues - and that next week, you have a better week!

We just got our water bill, and for some reason its like... 4 thousand gallons more than last month!?!? Its not like we washed the cars, or the lawn or anything... we really try to be water conservative, so where did it all go??

Go out and take a reading now. The meter reader could have taken a wrong reading or entered it incorrectly.

Happened to next door neighbor once. Got a bill for 93,000 gallons of water and he didn't own a pool.

EEk! Some of these just put my pottery vent to shame!! On the scale of things, I really shouldn't be complaining! Hugs to everyone for this terrible week!!

Sometimes things are all relative and in the grand scheme of life some things are worse than others. But there's always going to be something, somewhere worse, does that mean your situation, your day, week, etc. shouldn't sometimes get you frustrated or down? No. It's ok to have some hard times and vent about it no matter how small or large and then move on. I firmly believe this!

My bad week started last Weds. when DS9 came out of his room with a pocket knife and said he was going to kill himself and his little brother. So after a trip to the pysch. er, it was determined he could be treated as an outpaitent, but the outpaitent services for this hospital had a 4-6 week wait. So after about 10 phone calls I finally found a place that could see him this Tues. Tues comes around and he gets sick with a stomach bug, the 1st time he has had one it 6 years. He is still sick, and I will probably have to miss a baby shower I was looking forward to tomorrow, because DH has to take DS7 to a birthday party both boys were both invited to.

BIG, BIG, BIG hugs for you! I hope your child gets better. Hang in there!

Week started out good but ended crummy. One of my employees has been on written warning for monetary errors and after another variance outside of department limits, I had to put her on a final warning. Not 6 hours later, she screws up and makes another mistake over the department limits. I had to suspend her and on Monday I have to fire her. It really upsets me that I have to do it but it is mandatory.

And to top it all off, everyone just kinda acts like its all me that I am frustrated and kinda resentful right now. Trying to get into that happy place groove...I keep reminding myself that I can do it but geez, how many days lately I have wanted to go back to bed and just stay there!

I am right there with you ... Mine hasn't been a bad week, it has been a bad 2 months!

Started with me returning to work at the end of Jan. and being OVERWHELMED ... spending 12 hour days for over a week just to get on my 2 feet. 2 days before I go back to work, I get a call from my mom that my dad is having chest pains and was taken to the hospital where he stayed for 3 days. Determined that it was his gallbladder.

Then, the second weekend into work, I HAVE A GALLBLADDER attack. Go to the ER and find out that I have to have my gallbladder taken out (have pushed this back to my spring break so that I don't have to take as many days off work).

... the saga continues ... my mother calls on week 3 to tell me she went to the hospital because she fell and found out her arm is broke. They send her home to get a surgical consultation. (Did I tell you that I am the only child that lives close by???)

After taking off work to go to the doctor's appt. with my mother we find out that she does NOT need surgery IF she is VERY careful and keeps her arm in a sling .... HOWEVER .... my mother thinks it is OK to sneak off gambling one day!

I then have a HUGE fight with her (completely loosing it) telling her that she is very selfish to do this knowing that it is ME who has to "help her" if something would happen to her.

I email me siblings to tell them that they need to call mom every week since I am currently not talking to her ... and I need to cool off ... and am informed by my sister, who lives in England, that she doesn't have to "do what I ask". So, I hang up on her and am now not talking to her!

So, besides taking care of my own family, working full-time and dealing with my aging parents, I have had it.

I am, however, very thankful for a wonderful husband who steps up to the plate whenever I need him.

Sorry to vent and thanks for listening .... but it has been a LONG two months!

I had a crappy week as well. My new job is less than stellar and I had a really horrible week at work. I was ready to quit on Tuesday and not return.

You know its a bad week when you are excited to go to jury duty instead of work on Monday.

I've felt that way for about a year now. Saying that I HATE my job is a complete understatement, in fact I was thrilled to get a mammogram once just to get away. You can make it through the days though until that something else that's way better comes along.

Oh, great. That's Monday right? DH has been embroiled in a nasty court battle with his ex and that is the court date.

This week wasn't great - DH in the hospital with chest pains, trying to get the house ready for sale, packing for the move and everyone sick with a bad cold BUT I try to count my blessings and am thankful for what we do have. Next week is going to be rough because of court but hoping the outcome gives DH some much needed stress relief!

Hugs to everyone having a bad week.

Is it sad that I don't even know where the water meter is??
