And today's topic is.....Monday Madness!

Alright it's pretty much a proven fact that nobody really likes mondays. So I'm going to capitalize on that fact and let everyone get it all out. Pick a topic to vent about. Remember not to be insulting or rude to any of your fellow forum members, and please do not pick controversial topics like abortion, teen pregnancy, politics, etc...you know what I'm talking about :). But otherwise let's have a safe, fun place to get it all off our chests. No judging one another, just support and sympathy. The last sentence of your vent needs to be something good about the person/situation.

Let's give this a try!

My vent: My husband has been seriously pissing me off lately. I don't know what his deal is, but out of the last 4 days he's started like 7 fights. he says he's bummed and that's making him testy (tee hee) but seriously?!?!! I'm sick of him starting arguments! I told him to just keep his mouth shut if he can't be nice and he's going to try, but I'm really tired of getting winched at over something stupid that HE does wrong...I'm trying to be patient since he says he's bummed but there's only so much tiptoeing I can do before it really pisses me off.

On the plus side...my husband put up our Christmas tree and helped me put up half of our Christmas decorations and that's putting me in a really good mood!!!

Oh guys I can tell some of you feel a bit better after getting this stuff off your chests!!!

Audrey, LOL!!!

Now it's time to prepare for tomorrow's daily post:

Treasure Tuesdays!

Think about something in your life that has made you happy recently. Not something you're grateful for, i.e. "good health" "a nice apartment"...but something that truly just makes you smile. Did your son make bubble hats in the bath tub? Did your daughter giggle hysterically every time you played peek-a-boo with her?

What has made YOU smile in the last few days?

That will be tomorrow's daily post, so be sure to check back!

My vent is about how broke we are gonna be these next couple of months.  As you all know, I lost my job on November 1st cause they closed the doors. so money has been tight, we havnt been struggling but we havnt had all the extra cash like we used to, but somehow this week all of our money is gone. I have no idea where it went. we ALWAYS have atleast 400 in our savings most of the time like 500. and ALWAYS have between 300 to 500 in the checking, which is for gas and food for the week, so we dont have to touch our savings.  I mean yea we did our christmas shopping, and paid my car payment. but we found ourself taking half our our money out of savings to put in checking.  we now only have about a quarter of the money we usually do.  This week is gonna be so hard, and then this week check is gonna suck cause Db had Thrusday and Friday off for Thanksgiving, he gets paid for THursday but not Friday. and then his stupid Probation Officer called him into today, so now hes gotta leave work early to go take a drug/alcohol test, which is 27 dollars, and 3 hours of non pay at work. I hate that stupid Bi***, she knows he works 2 hours away from the courthouse and doesnt get out till 4 and they close at 4:30.  and she knows he gets out at 3 on FRridays so she can call him in then, but she never does!!!! She dont care about anyone!! And it just drives me nuts, i know the only reason she is calling is cause of the holiday weekend. well ***** to be you BI***, but Im very proud of DB he hasnt touched a drink since that night almost 5 months ago, and he damn sure dont do drugs, he never has.  I hate snotty bi****, and I had her as my probation officer last year so i know how she is...  

So now were gonna be behind again this week cause my car insurance is due and they take out 80 dollars tomorrow(that we DO NOT HAVE, so theres more money out of our savings) for his stupid drivers responsibility fee.. I have never heard of a state worse then Michigan for taking money from people, they are sooo broke here and screwed up, they had to raise DUIs to 8000 dollars for a 2st offense now!!! How pathetic, how do they go from 2000 to 8000????  

Im so sick of this state.

Amy~I'm so sorry about your dad!

My vent...Friday night we took my dog and the 1 1/2 week old puppies to the hospital because she was panting heavily, shaking, her legs were stiff and she could barely walk. Scared the bejezus out of me, but she had eclampsia, which unlike humans meaning high blood pressure...in a dog it means low calcium. SO I've been feeding five puppies by bottle since Friday night, every two hours and being 38 weeks 4 days pregnant...I'm EXHAUSTED, and we didn't get everything done this weekend that we needed to...(I STILL don't have my hospital bag packed, lol.)

On a good note, they're really cute when they drink from the bottle! AND we have an appointment in 3 hours to get her calcium rechecked and see where to go with the puppies having to bottle feed/nursing.

My gripe is the lousy hospital we have in this area.  Saturday night DS6 slipped in the tub and busted his chin open.  DH and I took him to the urgent care place but they were closed, so we went to the local ER.  They said the wait was ATLEAST 2 hours and the lady kept stressing the "atleast" part.  So we said screw it and decided to drive the 45 minutes to macon.  So, we stopped by walmart and I got some gauze and tape and fixed DS up for the ride.  We got to the hospital in macon and were registered as soon as we walked in the door, triaged as soon as registration was done and in a room straight from triage.  I had barely sat down in the room when the nurse came in. We spent more time waiting for the topical anasthetic to take affect than anything.  We drove to macon and were in and out of the hospital before we would have even been called back at the one here.

DS ended up with 3 stitches in his chin but he's doing fine.  They come out in a week. He's probably at school showing them off to everyone LOL

My vent for the day is that my hubby's grandpa passed away in the middle of the night last night he has been sick for a couple of months.  So, it's not really a complaint it's more of venting about starting the week off in utter sadness.  He was 91 years old, and an amazing man and inspiration.  He is hard for anyone to live up to.  Not only was he the type of person that never raised his voice, but he had the ability to put a smile on anyones face and was liked by anyone who came in his path he was a great father, and grandfather.

He ran away from home when he was 14, and jumped the railroads all over the country.  Then joined the army when he was 18 and served our country.  He married his wife when he was in his 20's and she passed away 8 years ago.  He told me that he would still wake up reaching over for her =(  Needless to say, he didn't graduate highschool, but went on to be the vice president of Chrysler Corporation then retired in his 60's.  

My husband is named after him, and so is my son.  I had a great bond with him and he even gave my hubby his wife's diamond for him to propose to me with from the 1950's. Imagine my surprise and how touched I was when my husband popped the question.  He will always hold a special place in my heart and I wish my son had the chance to know him.  

Of course all of the people who were not around towards the end are acting like vultures trying to grab all of his things, and suddenly are popping up out of the woodworks.  The selfishness of some people just shock and disgust me.  All my hubby wanted were some hand made blocks his grandfather made out of wood scraps for him and his brother to play with when they were kids, which he thankfully got.  

RIP grandpa Frank... we love you so much =(

So sorry Amy for  your loss :(
AHP- That was LONG! lol
My vent is about breastfeeding!! I'm exhausted from it!! Brady wants to eat every 2 hours give or take a half an hour. It's getting to be too much...I'm still going to do it but I thought it got easier over time! Then on top of that, at night starting at about 8pm...he gets really agitated and almost colicky. He cries and cries and I think it's mainly from gas. I never look forward to that time of my day because of it!!

vent - DH has been on his AF Period or something lately. Last night, One minute we were in bed and I was getting peed on by the puppy so i got a little ticked and he got mad because i was mad i got peed on (WTF) then the next he's laying on the living room floor with his pillow and a blanket crying!!! I think he's having MY hormones. I finally got him into bed and he was still mad about who knows what. I go to sleep cuz i have to be up early for work. and through the rest of the night and early morning he's nice and cuddely. He's been on and off about this for a while. I think he was mad last night becuase I told him i didnt want to give him a... (TMI SORRY) **. ugh!! REally get over it!

On the + side... HE's been so much better than he used to be. All he EVER used to do was yell at me all the time for pointless things. (he has adhd really bad and a bad temper, but he's never done anything extreme.) But lately, he's been talking things out with me and being more supportive. :)

Well, first of all, I want to tell AmyG89 how sorry I am for your loss. How heartbreaking to lose your dad during the holiday season. I hope and pray you will have comfort and peace and find joy in the happy memories you have of him, especially during the next month.

My vent...well, where should I start? I am in a humorously pissy mood this morning because of a bunch of little irritations throughout the night that just added up to put me in the mood I am this morning.
1) Brandon has finals this week. For the last two weeks, he's been studying his rear off and staying late and weekends for hours on campus to have lab access and quiet, uniterruped study time. Fine by me...I want him to make good grades and I'm trying to be as supportive as possible. But for the last two weeks, I've darn near had the workload of a single mom, which wouldn't be so bad if it was like the old days when I had just one kid to take care of, but with two...holy cow...one in Kindergarten in a highly academic school so he has homework each night, and one being an infant and needing 100% of all my time and focus.
So yesterday afternoon, Brandon heads to campus to study, then came home around 7:00, only to tell me that over an hour of his "study time" was spent talking to a family member about his sister, who relapsed again Thanksgiving night and is "supposed" to move into a halfway house this week as the final straw consequence. Why he has to talk to family members about this ongoing situation with his sister, I wish I knew. But he comes home last night telling me that he's frustrated that his family tried to keep him in the dark about her relapse this week because they don't want him distracted from his finals. Well, quite honestly, I bluntly said to him, "I wish you didn't know, either! You're so tied up in trying to talk about the situation in hopes that they'll see things your way, and you all go through this same cycle every. single. time. Nothing ever changes, no one ever takes your advice, and all you do is spend hours on the phone. You could've spent that hour studying tonight, and last night, you could've spent that hour and a half studying that you spent chewing out your sister instead, when you know nothing will change. It never does. And that's all I'm gonna say."
The look on his face was like I'd just smacked him. I felt kinda bad, but it's true!
And what did he end up doing last night until 1:15 in the morning because he didn't get it done at campus? Studying. (I went to bed around 11:30.)
2) By the time he came to bed, within the hour, Greydon woke up and Brandon went to tend to him. Unfortunately, he got out of bed to get to him faster than I did, which I knew meant Greydon would be coming back into our bed with Brandon because he NEVER leaves him in his crib! Sure enough, he comes in a moment later and puts Greydon between us in the bed, and attempts to get him back to sleep. Greydon was having none of it, and tossed and turned and fussed and fought. Brandon tried everything to calm him down and Greydon was having none of it. Finally out of total irritation, I got out of bed, picked up Greydon, took him to his room, rocked him for maybe 10 minutes, and put him in his crib, where he slept the rest of the night without waking. I shuffled back into our room back to bed, where Brandon expressed quite gratefully, "You're amazing."
I was still a bit miffed, so all I replied was, "I know." It was about 3:00.
3) Not more than 10 minutes later, as I was just on the verge of Lala Land and deep sleep, I was awoken by a whisper and a gentle shaking of my arm. Trevor was at my bedside telling me he was scared from a nightmare. So I let him snuggle up with me for a few minutes, hoping he'd calm down and be drowsy enough to go back to sleep when I took him back to his bed. When that time came, I turned on his lamp to the lowest setting, and he wanted to tell me about his dream. I told him to wait until morning, and tucked him back in and went back to bed.
About 15 minutes later, just as I was once again on the verge of Lala Land and deep sleep, he was back at my bedside telling me that his dream was so scary that he couldn't get back to sleep even with the lamp on. I took him back to bed and tucked him back in and assured him that all was okay, and told him to say a prayer and think of happy things.
I went back to bed, and AGAIN he was back within 10 minutes, telling me the same thing about being too scared to go back to sleep. So I told him to get a blanket and pillow and he could sleep on the floor by my bedside. He was thrilled with this idea, but it was short lived. Within five minutes, he was tapping my arm and telling me he was scared that there were monsters under my bed. I told him there weren't. He asked how I knew that, because he had just heard a noise. I told him because I didn't allow monsters in my room, and that he heard the birds. He said no, it wasn't the birds, it was another noise that was scary. I said it was Dad snoring (Brandon had just rolled over a moment before and let out a short but loud snort).
Trevor said, "Oh. That was Dad?"
I said yes, now would he PLEASE go to sleep because my alarm was going to go off in a half hour. He was quiet for a minute, and then he whispered, "Mom, let's just say if there WERE monsters under your bed...would you protect me?"
"Of course I would."
"How?"
"UGH! Trevor! There are no monsters under my bed! And IF THERE WERE, I would taekwondo their monster butts, okay?!"
He giggled. I was failing to find the humor it any of it.
"Now go to sleep because I have not slept for more than two hours tonight! Before you came in here, I was up dealing with Greydon. I have to wake up in less than an hour and I'd like to get any sleep I can. Alright?! No more talking. Goodnight, I love you, go to sleep."
4) I only took the bulk of all that upon myself last night thinking that Brandon would have to wake up early and go take a final by like, 9-10. But ya know what??? I asked him this morning before I left what time his final was, and he was like, "It's at 3:00. So I'm going to sleep a couple more hours and then head to campus to study."
Ooooooh! I think my eye twitched at about this point and I had to mentally restrain myself from pummeling him. He has asked me this whole week if I'll take Trevor to school in the mornings because he has finals, which I agreed to do, assuming he'd only ask me if he couldn't due to having to arrive to classes for finals during morning hours. So *I* was up doing all the manual child labor last night, even though I know it kept him up to a degree, and *I'm* the one waking up an extra hour early to get Trevor to school...only to find out that his freakin' final isn't until freakin' 3 pm and he gets to freakin' sleep and extra X number of freakin' hours?!?! Bah!
*Deep Breath*
Okay, the positives:
Brandon did do the dishes for me last night and cleaned up Greydon's mess after dinner. And as pissed off as I was at him last night (which didn't even compare to the degree of pissed off I was at him this morning), it was nice to come back to bed and snuggle up next to him to warm me back up from being out from under the cozy covers each time. ♥
Greydon...well, what can I say? The boy is so dang cute that it doesn't matter what he does, he's just adorable and snuggable no matter what. ♥
Trevor--as irritating as it was carrying on an on-and-off debate about monsters under my bed between 4:00-4:45 this morning, I can't help but laugh about it now. He can always bring a smile to my face, even when he is a pain in the butt, lol. ♥

I have two gripes lol...My neighbors dog barks, barks, and barks some more...seriously he never stops. all hours of the day/night it doesnt matter.he is barking and crying.. I mean it is so bad it triggers my migraines...but, I guess on a good side of it, I can take some meds to lessen the headache haha

also, my DH said he would get the tree and stuff down last week, and well it is a new week and nope no tree yet..so, I thought yesterday I would start putting the interior decorations up, hoping he would catch the hint..well, I guess it worked, because he is taking of early today to help me finish lol....I love it when he is so sweet...

I started POAS with both pregnancies at 7DPO because I'm a total POASaholic too LOL! You're right it's definitely too early to take a BFN as a true BFN. I got a faint pos at 10DPO with DD and 9DPO with DS.....but that's pretty rare...so you have at least several more days before the BFNs mean anything...*hugs* here's hoping you get a nice fat positive this week! (on the funny side..when I first joined this site, I always thought of BFN as standing for "big effing negative" lol)
