I'm annoyed

ggirl2001

I'm about to leave for work and i'm annoyed. Here's my list.

I'm annoyed that I can't ever sleep through the night, even with melatonin, and thus I'm always tired when I wake up. 

I'm annoyed by people who are whining on facebook. I have a friend who is complaining that she "hates" the military because she can't be with her fiance. Seriously? Shut up. 

I'm annoyed that I have to work haha. 

I'm annoyed that my entire pay check is pretty much gone. Thanks student loans and car payment. 

your turn!

Hi geeg! I was thinking about you this morning. I feel like I haven't "seen" you in a while. sorry about all that lame stuff. Just start deleting people on Facebook. That's what ive been doing. If someone, who I'm not reallllllly friends with, posts something that annoys me... Unfriended. It feels so much better.

LetsHikeToday

I'm annoyed that the housework never can get done. Seriously, there is always something else to do. It makes me feel like shiit because I don't have a job and it's still hard to do everything. Also, my one dog was jump humping the shiit out of my other dog. Really??

kara811

Sorry about all that Geeg! And hopefully you can sleep better! I'm annoyed that I am too sore today to go back out and run/work out. I could not even go down the stairs this morning! I'm also annoyed that I can never sleep in! I'm up at the same time everyday. Cant think of anything else for now.

LetsHikeToday

Kara-how come you're so sore?

Sammy0709

I'm sorry ggirl that really sucks. If I don't want to necessarily unfriend someone I just block their updates from my news feed. I love the military for sending DH away. We're saving a ton of money even with him sending me ridiculous crap all the time. The latest was a shirt from the base that says, "you sent my husband to Afghanistan you ba***rd

Sammy0709

Ef stupid knot mobile posted before I wanted it to. Since it has the name of his base and profanity I doubt I'll wear the shirt in public but it is freaking hilarious.

Hike: I've been running/working out quite a bit lately. Yesterday I did a lot more than usual and it just kicked my asss. Lol. The hills/stairs kill me! They're about 60ft tall.

LetsHikeToday

I guess I don't get the whole complain that your husband is away thing. Isn't that what he signed up for? Isn't that what you knew would happen either going into the relationship or being in a relationship when he signed up? I mean, H hasn't been home for more than a few hours in days. I'm going in to get my ultra sound today alone. I've had two medical emergencies in the past week when he's been gone. He will be deployed when we find out if it's a boy or girl. I'm not complaining. In fact, I'm enjoying some alone time and using the time to get things accomplished that I normally wouldn't have. I appreciate the military because if we didn't have that, god knows where we'd be!

LetsHikeToday

Ps- great job Kara!

Sammy0709

Hike, I definitely accomplish a lot more when MH isn't around. It's all the free time when I would normally be hanging out with him.

I'm annoyed at home ownership.  Seriously, the effing projects never end.  

And I'm annoyed that I'm the only one to deal with them.  I miss being able to just call maintenance when H is gone and say "this is broken" and not have to pay for them to come.  

Honestly I don't think there's anything wrong with being annoyed your H is away once in a while.  It effing blows some days, and we aren't expected to be invincible.  Like the other day when it took me 3 hours to cut our lawn and I had a million issues with it and nothing was going right, I almost spontaneously started crying like 20 times because it was just an "I want my effing H home already" kind of day.  But most days I'm completely fine with it.  However when people complain about everything being done alone, or can't make a status on FB without mentioning their H being gone and how much it sucks.

I don't mind so much when people complain about missing their spouse once in awhile - it's normal, and it isn't something we're expected to like.  I think I get annoyed when people blame the military - that's his job, and it's the same one that pays for your house and puts food on the table and pays your health insurance (most likely, though I'm sure many spouses pay some/all the bills from their own salaries).  And to be honest, that's like blaming water for being wet - the military moves people around, it's just part of what they do.  Sure, you can miss him, and it's not always fun to do things without him, but being sad isn't being angry, KWIM?

I'm annoyed with the dogs that bark next door.  They're annoying.  A new neighbor got a dog, and now they have a chorus that goes on, when the next door neighbor's dogs used to be quiet mostly.

I'm annoyed with my messy house, and I know it won't be clean until we move.

I'm annoyed that I have to work.  I don't want to, and I'm really ready to be done with this already.

LetsHikeToday

Beach- I totally agree. I just don't find a need to bitch about it on Facebook everyday. The same as any other thing in life. Big, hot, and pregnant? Great, I get it. Just don't complain about it everyday on Facebook.

kara811

Honestly after going through Japan and 4 deployments in 3 years and another LONG one coming up, I am NOT loving the military at all for sending my H away but it's something that we just have to deal with and move on from like every other thing thrown our way. I am not perfect by any means so there are days/moments I do vent or complain just because I do miss him, especially when there is something I'm going through that ia depressing like my mother and her fatal heart condition. Sometimes you just want them home! Although I do get annoyed at FB complains ALL day. It gets too annoying sometimes.

calindi

Kara, that's what I mean - filling up Facebook with how much you hate the military.  I haven't really had a 'hate the military' moment because so far it hasn't done a whole lot to me haha.  But I'm sure I'll feel it once in awhile!  I just don't mind so much if someone posts that they miss their husband once in awhile on Facebook. 

crownsuperstar

Wow Kara that is a work out!  Good for you!!!!

I am annoyed at almost everyone of my students today.  They are driving me crazy.  I mean one student alone sent me FIVE e-mails last night at 11:00p.m.  PS- I don't work 24 hours a day. 

I am annoyed that everyone in the camp ground decided to leave the beach this morning during the morning commute.  I mean the last thing I wanted to do this morning on the way to work was sit behind a bunch of campers.  UGH! 

I am annoyed that I have to send a check to the state for taxes.  I got totally screwed this year with taxes! 

I am sort of annoyed at life in general right now.  I think I am just in a really grumpy mood since I have not slept in days.

ggirl2001

Yeah I think there's a difference between having a day and not being able to have a status update about how much it sucks. Listen, I know it sucks. I don't need you to remind me daily.

I'm annoyed with Kay Jewelers and their massive screw up. Luckily I went a bit bridezilla on their ass. (For those who don't know, I was supposed to get my rings soldered, sized, and sent back on Saturday. Still hadn't heard anything yesterday so I called them. They didn't have them done because there were "problems." Well, I'm leaving the state tonight. I went into the store to make the manager call them in front of me and fix the situation. They are now being shipped overnight and I'm picking them up today).

I love my Binxy, but I'm annoyed that he thinks it's ok to wake me up before 6:30. Especially today. We leave tonight to drive from VA to WI, and we are driving straight on through the night. So I need sleep you damn cat!!!

I'm annoyed that it SNOWED in WI yesterday. Come on cheese state! No more snow! I need nice weather for my wedding!

Can I play too? I'm annoyed with three of the SAH mil wives I know. I won't lump them in with all SAH wives, or all mil wives or even all SAH mil wives, so please don't think I'm bashing all such women - just these three who have super annoyed me in the last week.

SAH wife 1: She lost custody of her one child years ago and her H is deployed. She called my co-worker (8 months pregnant and a mutual friend) to come change her cat's litter box because it stinks and it makes her gag when she goes near it. Then she call my co-worker's husband because her dog needed walked and she didn't feel like leaving the house. Seriously?! And even though we are more like acquaintences, she keeps me updated on when she is ovulating (ew) and calls me in the middle of the night (midnight or after) because she is bored and can't sleep. Between her and my own kiddo's night terrors, I'm not sleeping now either!

SAH wife 2: She has a LO, less than a year old, and her H was home for the whole pregnancy and birth and still hasn't deployed (lucky lady, right?). She got mad because he is due for orders soon and she doesn't want to move further away from her parents than they already are, which is only about 3 or 4 hours and they go spend almost every weekend with her parents! Then she called the other day and chewed her H out because he left for work and the bathroom still hadn't been cleaned. Hello, we were on 12-hour shifts and you stay at home all day, why can't you clean it??

SAH wife 3: She has an almost 2 year old and is 8 months pregnant and her H is deployed. He just re-enlisted and got orders to Italy. She is considering divorce because she thinks she can get more in alimony and child support than she has now and he was supposed to "man-up" and do what was right by her... her definition of manning up and doing right: get out of the military and go back home to take over the family's really successful business so they can have more money, because she just "can't live off this military pay crap". SO GET A JOB!

I'm annoyed by people who can't find their mailboxes. I'm especially annoyed at a few people in FI's family who haven't bothered to RSVP. I'm annoyed  because one of them won't pick up the phone at all. I'm annoyed by the other because she says she wants to come to the wedding but she hasn't put in for leave and she's AD Army. Obviously it's not that important if you haven't routed your chit yet when you've known about the wedding date/time for months. Don't pretend like it's super important to you when I've asked you if you're planing on coming and you told me you were submitting for leave the next day and that was over a month ago, and you still tell me you haven't submitted for leave. I would rather you just be up front and say that you can't make it because you don't want to take the leave/don't have it to take/whatever. She's been AD for 10 years; certainly she realizes that if she doesn't give some notice she's not going to get it approved. I really like her and I would love for her to come, and I will be bummed if she can't make it, but it is annoying when people talk to you about something like it's a high priority but their actions don't reflect that.

I'm annoyed by a couple that I know that is expecting their second LO because neither of them work. He is in med school, so eventually they will have a good income, but he has never worked and neither has his wife. They are living off their parents' income. Their first child was not planned, but this one was. I wouldn't plan to have a child if my husband and I were living off of our parents' incomes because I think it is inconsiderate.

I WAS annoyed at my internet but a Cox girl just came and fixed everything for me and my signal is sooo much better now. So yay! She also fixed other shiit for me at no extra charge, so yayyer for that. lol 

divinemsbee

Aw, Binxy, you're soooo cloooose. 

I definitely had about 36 hours of missing FI really bad and just wanting him home. It somehow seems harder now that we're in the home stretch. That, plus wedding stress, just makes me wish I could fast forward a few weeks. 

I'm annoyed with my mother because she seems more into seeing my sister when she comes to MS than helping me with wedding stuff. I'm driving there next Thursday, and I know that it's my responsibility to do things, but I'd like my mom to be involved so I don't have to hear her complain if I don't do it right or don't ask the questions she wants answered. 

Leading off of that, I'm just kind of annoyed and over it about wedding stuff. I do want a wedding because I want the people we care about to share this important step in our lives, and to show them how much we appreciate them. I also kind of want them to want to be there. Right now, it just doesn't seem like they do. And I'm not even talking extended family, even my mom and dad don't seem to really care one way or another if they are there when we get married. Which makes me feel a little hurt. I know his family doesn't care, and I guess I was hoping that mine might get excited. I know no one will ever be as excited as I am, but I feel like a little encouragement wouldn't hurt. So I'm just kind of blah.

I'm annoyed that my printer ate the nice photo paper I bought. straight up ate it. (nom nom nom) This was after I told FI that I just wanted regular cardstock but he insisted on getting the photopaper so we could use the paper for it all. My printer had a mind of its own.

I'm annoyed by 120 chair covers that do not have the ability to wash themselves.

I'm annoyed that I can't eat cake today. I went to drop off the final balance for the cake and it smelled like heaven...

AND you get to eat cake in 4 days!! yay for that! I am so stoked for our wedding cake. FI had a freudian slip and said that the cake was going to be "the highlight of our marriage" haha, he then goes "oh crap, wedding. I mean the highlight of our wedding!". hahahaha. </div><div>

I'm annoyed that my personal time clock information is being discussed behind my back at work. How did everyone come to discuss MY business? Because a manager not my manager or even my dept. mind you got a hold of my time sheet somehow and shared with the class. Shitts about to go down HR style tomorrow.

CAB1217

Im also annoyed that mobile TK doesn't like parenthesis.

lrh17

Haha, the parentheses issue annoys me too CAB. Sorry about your work situation....give them a piece of your mind! I'm annoyed that my landlord likes to leave bread out for the birds and then they sh!t all over my car. I'm annoyed that I suck at taking power naps. I feel like that would be something useful to master.

lrh17

And for you ladies with wedding woes, I hope things get better for you this week. Trust me though, on that day you will be so incredibly happy that none of the crap you had to deal with up to that point will seem to matter. So hang in there!
