I am sooooo sick of...???????????

[agnes!]

I'm so sorry about your friends CCF...P & PD all around.
Tell your friends that someone they've never met is praying for them if you think that'll help.

No rants for me today...oh, wait a minute...having a front tooth kind of fall apart (lost some of its back) on the Sunday of a holiday weekend...& I didn't even know there was anything wrong with it! Why is is that teeth never fall to pieces/lose a filling/etc when dentists' offices are actually OPEN?!?
Guess I'll be trying for that elusive dentists' appointment early this Tuesday morning.
Oh joy.
Maybe I'll pretend I'm going for a CRT breakfast ADR/PS. I suppose that could help.

agnes!

[WatchinCaptKangaroo]

... People who are always late. I know I'll be waiting on my mother again tonight.

... People who tell you all about the cool party they are going to have.. but don't invite you.

... People who complain about no one wanting to make plans until the last minute when they won't make plans until the last minute.

Seeing commercials of immaculate houses with everything beige and white and sparkling with immaculate children and immaculate, thin, pretty perfectly made up moms who smile and shake their heads wryly when their precious angels spill grape juice in the pristine living room. And then they squat down in their crisply creased pants and high heels and wipe up the mess with magic paper towels or some such. And I am really sick of how they make me feel like a total failure as a homeowner.

Tailgaters.
People who make a left turn from the right lane in a two-laned each way street.
People that honk their horns the moment the light turns green.
People who believe that red lights apply to everyone...except for them.
People that fail to yield to pedestrians in a crosswalk. (MA state law requires the yield. I actually saw a cop pulling over a car that did not yield last week, heh heh).

That's it!

...when DH's Dad says, "Hey, Let's go fishing this weekend!" and DH says, "Sure!" without any thought as to what my plans were or that he could be spending that time with his kids, etc... I don't mind DH spending time with his Dad, but it would be nice if he actually thought about the rest of us before he makes his plans. I certainly don't have the luxury of making whatever plans I want without a backward glance. I'd love to see DH's face if I walked out the door one day (as he often does on the weekends) and said, "Bye, I'm going to coffee with your Dad!" and didn't take the kids or ask DH if he wanted to go.

OH! I think you should!!! One of my friends actually did this and it worked wonders!!! Everyone was eating breakfast on Saturday morning and she put on her shoes, grabbed her purse and said, "Bye, I am going to meet Julie for coffee" We were gone for three hours!! Her husband was steaming when she got home but she just innocently said,'Well, you do that all the time. I figured I had a right to make my own plans too." After that he started checking the schedule with her.

For my IASSO--I am beyond sick of the neighbor boy coming over to play EVERY SINGLE TIME my kids go outside!!! Drives me crazy. I need the fastest growing hedge in the world! He is over here all the time and if I tell him we are not having friends over, he sits in their yard and yells and teases my kids so they end up coming in anyway. Plus, DD 9 ends up having to watch what he is doing because he is a dolt. I swear she has saved his life innumerable times! Yesterday, he was over and when we went to leave, I discovered that his parents were over at the park playing tennis. Hello????? He is FIVE! Were they assuming I was watching him?

Many things I get soooo sick of I find I can avoid. One big one was all the 24-hour news channels and their drooling over every terrible thing that might come up. It was making me cynical and fretful and was really affecting my outlook on life. I realized I needed to stop watching them altogether, and I did. No more CNN, no more Fox, no more overblown "breaking news". I read the newspaper and the MSN front page. That's all I need to keep up.

I am still sick of prime time T.V. . Why can't we watch T.V. as a family at night anymore? Why is clean language and good humor out of style??? Where is a new Cosby Show or something?

I'm probably in the minority here too, but I am so sick of reality T.V. too. Let's put people in contrived situations and see how badly they can behave, or how greedy they can be, and let's the rest of us watch for fun. Who needs creativity or morals anymore? Who needs ideals?

Okay, I'm done.

Everyone thinks travel is glamorous...I disagree....

Amen! I felt really glamorous on the redeye out of Vegas Tuesday nite sick as a dog, smelling smoky from the casinos with my eye makeup glopped up and refusing to wash off my face, only to connect to 2 other planes with 2 long layovers just to get home. Nothing like going 2 1/2 days without showering because you are stuck in airports! Biz travelers learn early on to carry basic toiletries and fresh clothes in their carry-ons. They were lifesavers to me!

Thanks for the P&PD, agnes! They haven't met you but I have. While you're at it, add Grandma Greene to your prayer list - she has been in and out of the hospital 3 times in the past 6 weeks. Sigh...

I'm sick of tv commercials lauding a "sales event". Just about every sale ad you see is an "event". I wonder if they sell tix to the "events"? Anyone, anyone?

Tammy, any time you are ready for another shopping trip just let us know

 

[PrincessKitty1]

I'm sick of 5-day workweeks! I want a 4-day workweek, or a 3-day work-week. Geesh, let me live a little!

I'm sick of being told I can take time off if I can find somebody to cover for me. There IS no one to cover for me. Everybody else is working 45-50 hour weeks, too. Oh, except for my co-worker who works 25 hour work-weeks for 40 hours of pay with her boss' blessing.

I'm sick of politicians and close-mindedness.

I was telling Dh on the way home today that I'll probably see if you guys want to get together around the middle of the month. Dh will be working Saturdays for the next couple of months so I'll be on my own and I want to go back and get him something he was admiring at Restoration Hardware anyway. And Petey wants more pineapple ice cream too. It was a great afternoon wasn't it?

That was fun today. I think Reilly is still pouting over not getting icecream like Petey. Now that I know they allow dogs in Haggen Daaz (or however you spell that) maybe he'll get some icecream.

I'll let Lauri know and see what Saturdays she is off. Probably the Saturday after Father's Day will be the best because I think she is pulling Saturdays until then.

I am with you on this! I don't do news. I dropped cable down to local channells. I am not paying those clown to have my TV filled with the crap that is on their! I don't want my kids watching crap either. Ya I could block them, but I am not paying for TV thats trash.

I miss 7th Heaven! I miss Happy Days and all the good stuff that was innocent!

I'm also sick and tired of being sick and tired, though my trials and tribulations aren't as bad as sugardrawers .

One more thing I'm s&t of, my DH. Not EVERYTHING about him, just the stupid stuff he refuses to change even though he knows those things set me off .

Like take your mud caked shoes off at the door, even if your "going right back out" (like that fact keeps the dirt from falling off your shoes ) or maybe ACTUALLY check the takeaway to see if it is our order instead of something gross (duh). Or the one that p.o'ed me yesterday - mark off the things on the list as you get at them at the grocery, that way you don't come home with only half the stuff on the list (and a bunch of other junk that is just going to take up room in the pantry and no one will ever eat, and NO! I'm not cooking it for you!!!) And while your at the grocery, LOOK at the veggies you pick up, don't bring me home another rotten onion or slimy cucumber!! Oh! and speaking of slimy cucumbers - #1 on my sick and tired of it list - if your giving me a backrub, that is suposed to be a treat for me, not you, so only rub me with your HANDS! Maybe than you could actually give a good massage instead of being distracted by "other things"

Hon, yours may be different from mine but that doesn't mean they don't affect your life. Vent away!

I know exactly what you are talking about Why is it they can't just give you a back rub? Why does everything have to become about sex?

I am soooo sick of my neighbor thinking that her kids are better than mine. It's ok for her kids to be mean to my kids, but god forbid if anyone ever offends hers.
