Ta DA
The Cake Topper!
Ready for this.. Even though my children can hardly keep a drink down, Ive gained 10 POUNDS in 1 week.
I havent cooked anything, They cant eat, I havent gone out, No take out, But those cookies, Popcorn, Bologna Sandwich with LOTS of mayo..
Yes Im up 10lbs in 1 week

Thats my vent.. Thank you for listening..

It sounds like your kids have the same thing my kids have right now. I'm probably going to be putting on weight due to the afformentioned rice crispie treats.

We'll be leaving on a cruise out of NYC in two weeks, so I'm looking on the bright side -- as long as everyone is healthy for our vacation, I'll be a happy woman.

It is a gorgeous sunny day here in Boston. Fresh breezes are blowing by. My office is lined with windows. None of which open.
I have a corner office on the top floor of our building....

There are no windows on this corner of the building. I never know what's going on outside unless I go to the mailroom or ladies' room and look into other people's offices through their windows.
 
I am having MAJOR computer troubles with the design software I use in my work. I've been on and off the phone with the nice tech support lady. First, I couldn't find the original software because DH put it in the ATTIC!!!!!

NOW, I finally get her on the phone again, and my !$#^&$ cordless phone battery went dead!!!!! I'm here at work by myself, and can't find the darned "emergency" corded phone!!!!!
I'm going to kill DH when I get ahold of him. And YES it's his fault. He's notorious for "stashing" stuff when he doesn't know where to put something, or what to do with it!
GGGRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!! :furious:
 
I actually do have a vent today. DS17's girlfriend of 6 months decides to "break up" with him by TEXTING him while she's off on Spring Break in Daytona with a friend and the friend's parents.

Can we say tacky? And with all my son is going through with me and the whole cancer thing..... really really ticked me off. I'm so worried about him He's with friends, though. Thanks for ruining *his* Spring break B*TCH!
 

I drive a small car. It's a 2 door Hyundai Accent.

That does not mean that you can park 2 inches away from my door!!!!!!!

Seriously, in the past month I have had to s*q*u*e*e*z*e into my car a half dozen times. Including once this morning, which brings me to my second vent...

Why can't anyone park properly at the post office? Everyone is always taking 2 spaces, or parked 2 inches away from me, or super crooked. I pick up my office's mail every morning, and the parking lot always looks like people are parking by feel!
 
I don't like the nasty person at work that was talking about me. She is 23 and knows EVERYTHING! Yea, miss buy a $200,000 house just cause....no, they did not get the financing.

My DD did not get any help for college funds. AHHH!!!
She is not trying very hard to get help...but at least she is in school, which is more than some of her other friends.

My sister is in Myrtle Beach, called today and asked me to go get my nephews dogs from the boarding place. WHAT? Yea, we will be home late on Friday and don't want to pay an extra day...Will you go get them for me?

My DH is not home yet and I don't want to make dinner. Do you think my kids will starve if I don't feed them right now?
 
Do we get presents on Venting Day?

Here are mine:

The new house that we are building is still not finished. This combined with the fact that it has been a battle for every single addition we have wanted (custom home builder my foot) has now increased my stress level to a boiling point :furious: . When we contracted with the builders back in August they said 1st week in Feb. Then it was no later than the middle of March, now when we ask they can't give us a projected date. I know for sure that if the construction loan was due they would be rushing to get us in. I told DH last night it's like going to a restaurant- the food is great, but the service is horrible. This company builds a great house, it just remains to be seen if you'll be sane enough to enjoy by the time you close on it :rolleyes: .

and on another note:

My two year old has had acid reflux since birth. It is a nasty case of it and we have been to every single doctor that is available trying to elimate it. At this point he will not be out growing it and I tired of all the issues that surround it. We went to a birthday party last night with a suitable dessert in tow, but him being two it turned into a huge fit when he didnt get a piece of cake. It breaks my heart that I have to limit what he eats and I probably should just avoid situations like birthday parties all together but I don't want him to miss out on everything in life :guilty:

Thank you, I needed that.
 
My vent would take forever-so I'll sum it up...


I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I feel better now, thanks... :rotfl2:
 
Just dropped $500.00 on brakes and shocks for the van.......

My fat pants fit.....again!!! This soooo makes me upset! I should have thrown the darn things out last time.....uggggggggggg.

My kids are driving me nuts....they are on vacation (so am I) and they can't find anything to do....uh, clean your room, read a book, mow the grass......I am not an entertainment director.

My DH just walked in...."what's for dinnner"....uh, I don't know, what are you making for dinner....I don't think I will eat until I can fit into my "not so fat" pants

This is a good thread...I am in a really crabby mood......everything is getting on my nerves today....I think I need a drink!!
 
Spring break starts in 20 hours and my students are climbing the walls.
I have been working out 4-5 days a week for a month, and while I do feel better, have only lost about 3 pounds. 3 months left until WDW and I think my goal is unreachable. Related to that, I've only worked out once this week and today is impossible, so I'll have to go tomorrow and Friday--I'm shooting for every day over vacation (my own kids are in school).
Every time I see illegal immigrants demanding their rights I have to change the channel. Does no one understand what "illegal" means?
DH never comes home when he says he will. Another customer comes in, or he starts talking to a sales guy, or whatever...you can always add at least an hour to his estimated time coming home.

Dear Parent Who Showed Up at 3:30 Today Demanding a Meeting:

I do not know why your child is mentally disabled. He came to me that way.

Yes, I know your child has an IEP and that the I stands for Individualized. I also am aware that different children learn in different ways. However, your child has been absent 36 days so far this year and has checked out early 28 times. I cannot teach someone who is not in school.

I am sorry that you don't want your child going to the high school that he is assigned to. You are welcome to apply for a transfer (which are due tomorrow, by the way), but you will be responsible for providing transportation. However, considering the fact that you called the superintendant when we refused to take him home after a field trip, how are you possibly going to transport him back and forth to school every day?

My sister's husband is a total jerk and he's ruining her life and her kids lives.

I have come to the realization that I am NOT going to look good on the beach in December.

My husband just told me to rearrange all of the hotel reservations I have made for our cross country trip in July to 1 DAY LATER!

I am doing 3 jobs at work for 1 salary, because, well, my boss doesn't want to hire anyone else because I am too efficient.

But the good news is...I just saved money on my insurance :banana: Oh, wait...that isn't me, that is the gecko.

Oh, well....
 
LOL.... :rotfl2:
Cool post... sorry you are in such a bad mood...
I will pass on this venting post....
Just wanted to say :wave:
 
What the perfect post for tonight! I am sick & tired of everyone complaining about something that they are not willing to do. I am on the PTO board and have spent 100s of hours working on fundraising, carnival, the newsletter, display case & boards, planning...in addition to being the room mom for both kid's classes...kindergarten & first grade. The 1st grade's egg hunt was yesterday. Apparently the teachers weren't happy with it. What the heck to they expect someone to do when only 2/3 of the kids bring the requested money in. (Actually a few parents sent in double to cover someone who couldn't pay it.) Noone was penalized for not bringing it in. They each got 13 eggs no matter what along with the snack. There were 67 kids in the three classrooms. 18.00 covered the juice boxes & cookies, 42.50 paid for the eggs, leaving 59.53 to fill 804 eggs. That adverages out to .07 per egg. The kids were happy with the eggs...you know filler stuff from OT...pompom bunnies, tattoos, stickers, wiggle rings, mini notebooks, poppers, etc. The kids and I spent three days filling the eggs...a total of 144 dozen for both grades. I will not be wasting any more of my time again. I am ready to turn in everything for the PTO too...I have been the secretary this year. There hasn't been a darn thing that we have done that hasn't gotten complaints from someone....someone who doesn't offer to help at all...I guess it takes too much time to complain. One person didn't like the signs that we put in the display case with the stuffed bunnies that the top selling class in each grade would get for our last fundraiser. You aren't going to believe the reason. The sign said "Free to good home." They weren't going home with a kid so we shouldn't have put that. GIVE ME A BREAK!!! The science lab has several animals who live in it...so why can't a stuffed rabbit be at "home" in a classroom? OY! I have been the ONLY mom to help in either of the kid's classroom for parties or reading. Two others have come with DS's class on one of the fieldtrips & one of the other classes had NO parents go with them.

I am so upset because I have always wanted to be involved in the kid's school. The kids appreciate everything but this backstabbing BS that is going on is just too much. I can't get this out of my mind to go to sleep. The kids have 6 more days to miss school before the end of the year 6/8. I am very tempted to just let us sleep in tomorrow. I would have to pick them up at 11:30 to go away for spring break but I am dreading having to go into the office. :( I'm even considering moving them to another school. They wont meet EOG goal this year for the 2nd time in a row so that wont be an issue. These people just make me sick!
 
Lisa, I am so sad to hear that. There is nothing like being underappreciated for hard work. I do not know how you find the time to help so many people on the cruise boards, but I sure appreciate all your input! :teeth:

Hmmm my vent for the day.....the people that timed the lights, and designed the road that we have to take to get to our house are MORONS. My own sisters won't even come to visit me much anymore because of the traffic on this highway gets so congested all the time from being so backed up from the lights. I even try to avoid this road as much as possible, but sometimes I just can't....It truly is a nightmare, and the way they are going to try and improve it??? Add more traffic lights that will be as stupidly timed as the others. All of it could be improved with just a little common sense and good timing of the lights on the main road.

I am venting because we can't move, and more businesses are going in like crazy, so we are pretty much stuck, and it will get worse. Oh well.
 
My job is hard and stressful. I didn't know that going in. :(

I'm also tired of high prices. Inflation may be low according to the government but I KNOW that everything I deal with costs a lot more.

I have to work this Friday and just about everyone else I know is off that day. My DH and DS were planning how to spend the day today while I just listen and feel left out.
