Having a bad day/week- come here

[goofy4tink]

I'll join the whining....turned 57 yesterday, feel ancient, missing my dd who's away at camp for two weeks (she's almost 13), missing my mom (who died close to three yrs ago)...just in a funk. Just can't seem to get excited about anything.
But, you know...after reading some of the issues you guys have, mine are starting to pale in comparison.
OctoberBeauty...you are still in my thoughts and prayers. As I read your posts, I think...'at least my dd is coming home..shut up and deal with it'...I can't imagine how you deal with each new day.

My best wishes to everyone who is going through hardship or stress. It HAS to get better!

My problem is that I'm drowning in a giant sea of debt not of my own making. For goodness sake, someone throw me a life preserver!!!

to all of you. My complaints are just little nuisances in comparison.......

My is a very little minor bad week compared to some but have to tell my little bad week story. We(myself, DH and DS 6) were searching for a dog. We were disappointed several times(for example other family adopted dog first, poor timing). Also trying to make the decision between puppy or young dog(under 3 yrs). Always searching Petfinder/local shelters/rescues. There was certain factors I was worried about(age of DS, finance, configuation of house/yard and time) but gave in to DH(never had a dog). On Sat we found the perfect 6 week female yellow lab. LOVED Her instantly Named her Dakota! Some friends commented how lucky we were because she was so calm and she had great potential. But quickly found out that all the factors I worried about came true. Which this time I hated being right. The second night my DS told me to find Dakota another home. I was in shock. Dakota of course did the typical puppy chewing but my DS was going thru the phase that a child goes thru if I bought another baby home. My DS also had problems that his routine was thrown off. My DH and I fell in love with her and bonded quickly. Also realized our house and yard wasn't set up to housetrain a puppy. We decided to return her to the rescue on Tuesday in Ohio. The lady at the rescue was so nice and understanding(10 days return allowed). We apologized so much. We felt so bad that all the things I brought for Dakota we donated to the rescue. She learned her name and was crate trained. She had so much protential. It breaks our hearts that we may never have a dog. But we did realize that our DS likes older dogs more then puppies. So maybe in other 5 yrs we will discuss it again. But right now I miss Dakota alot. Am I wierd for missing a puppy a had for only 3 days?

It's been 1 week today (actually at 10:00 p.m.) that my dear dad died without any warning. This week has been so horrible. I keep expecting to wake up and it will just be a bad dream. I didn't want to come back to work but I had to. My mom is a basket case and my kids are tore up and I wish I could just go somewhere by myself and just have a screaming, cussing, crying fit!

I don't usually join in here, only lurk, but found myself drawn to this one. Yesterday was my birthday and my husband forgot. Not a word from him. No, he wasn't planning anything secret just really completely forgot. When I reminded him over the phone about 2:00 in the afternoon I could hear all of the air escape from his lungs as he tried to catch his breath. So I wasn't going to forgive him for years......this thread made me realize I should...(don't tell him). He's been very busy at work (thank god he has a job) trying to help support our family (two small children, healthy thank god) and he comes home every night and helps with housework, cooking and cleaning because I work too. My week did really stink but it doesn't seem that I have a right. Oh, and he's sworn to clean out the litter pan for the next year. Thanks for sharing your stories! Good luck to all!

My week has definitely been trying. . . it has been one little thing after another. . . I know that it could be much worse, but it still has been difficult to get through.

My best friend is getting married next weekend, and I have been busy with the stress of planning the bachelorette party tomorrow night and helping her with last minute things. (which there have been a lot of, and she is nowhere done finishing up). It is costing me a lot more than I expected and I don't know where the money is going to come from- more than likely my own savings for my wedding.

My fiance overdrew his bank account by about $200 from his checking account. So I had to take $200 out of our wedding savings to cover it.

We are currently living at my fiance's father's house and I can't stand it. His father doesn't live there (he lives with his new wife) but is keeping the house for a bit longer. One of my fiance's other sister's stays there a couple of nights a week with her 6 year old son. I clean up the house and take care of everything (its the least I can do living there rent free)- just to have her and her son leave the place in shambles. . . . and the kicker this morning was that I woke up with an extremely upset stomach, desperately needing to use the bathroom.. . . the sister comes out of the shower, and I go in, and there is ONE SQUARE OF TOLIET PAPER!.. . so I search the cabinets, and the closet for the 12 pack of TP that I bought last week. . and every last roll was gone. . and no one bought more. . or told me so I could buy more!!!

My work decided, without consulting me, that they are going to change my current schedule from every other weekend to 4 10 hour days Sun, Mon, Tue, Wed and until 9pm at night! (I currently only work until 630pm)

Then my work moved my desk- to a location out in the middle of no where. .that stinks cause there is so much noise and action around that I can't concentrate and look unprofessional when calling clients. . .but to add insult to injury. . . . Someone stole my slinky off my desk.



I know that it could be a lot worse- but man this is one of the toughest weeks.

This has been a bad week because I was diagnosed with shingles and dab nab it, it hurts. The anniversary of our only childs (son 22) death was on the 27th and I am still grieving deeply. It has 3 years and the ache sometimes is unbearable.
