Confessions/Vents

What do you have to share?

mlynn1223

Confession - I'm starting to get nervous and stressed.  I find myself getting set of by the littlest things.  For example, I think I lost a check that was in an RSVP.  I dug through all of the trash, looked through anything that was around the table where I keep my wedding binder and still cannot find it.  As FI was going grocery shopping I asked him what we were going to do and just started balling by eyes out.  WTF?!  That is SO not me!!  I have felt like doing this several times in the past week.  I also had a dream that my tailor, who has been amazing, decided she didn't like my dress so changed it!  

Vent - I'm really annoyed with how long the programs are taking.  I designed them, it is not that hard to print!  This is why I have control issues.  If I was printing them they would be done.  I'm trying to learn to relinquish control and I suppose this is a good way to start.  

Another vent, my aunt and two cousins might not be able to make it.  I'm trying not to be selfish but their daughter is one of my BM and we grew up with their family.  I feel like we are close and I have shared a lot with her/them.  She might not make it because my cousin might be playing a baseball game.  I understand that it is important but it is one of thousands of games he has played and will continue to play.  I am getting married once.  My uncle is coming regardless.  I understand that the game is important and I don't want to sound like a complete bitch but really?  It's one game.  Perhaps because I don't have kids I cannot completely understand.  

NWR - I have 7 teaching days left and it is rough.  To top it off one of my supervising instructors with my grad program is coming today to watch a lesson.  All of the students are done and have no desire to learn anything.  It's a horrible time to come but I have no choice.  What is even worse, grades were already due so I'm not sure what the point is other then she is in town. Oh well.

Confession: I can't wait until we are finally married. In 3 weeks we will be able to go to dinner on a random night and spend $100.

Last night was so beautiful out. Normally we would have went out sat on some patio drank and ate dinner. With the wedding so close we just can't justify spending the money.

My vent is that I'm pretty sick of doctors with brusque bedside manners that pretty much dismiss my concerns. I get pretty frequent yeast infections, and I'm beyond sick of it. It doesn't do much for my newly-married life and it's giving me quite a high level of paranoia too. It's also not something I've dealt with all my life, and so I'm frustrated and uncertain as to why this is a new thing.

So today I went to the GYN, armed with a whole long speech about how this is affecting my life and hoping to get some sort of preventative measures that would stop or lessen the problem. Her response in the 5 minutes she spent with me (in which I got out about 1/3 of my speech): "well, some women get them every month. You have risk factors that I can't do anything about."

Trust me, "I can't do anything about this" is about the last thing you want to hear from your doctor. Especially when you have to fork over a $40 copay for the 5 minutes she gave to you. And gave me a prescription that is less that what I usually receive. So annoying and SO discouraging.

Vent: FI is going thru bankruptcy right now and I'm increasingly bitter that he doesn't even have enough money to cover the lawyer costs at the moment. I know logically that things will be better once he doesn't have debt collectors calling him every day, but I hate that I have to fork over even $75 to help get him out of debt. I know things will be better once he gets a job, I just need to get there.

Confession:  I have an interview next week for my dream job and I'm so nervous about it.  I don't know what to say when they ask "why do you want to leave your current position?"  Its such a hard question to answer appropriately because I know I can't say how I really feel.  Which leads right into my vent.

Vent:  My boss tried to talk me out of taking my vacation time next week.  We have this rule here that if you don't take it by your anniversary week you lose it.  He said are you taking the week because you want to or because you have to.  Honestly it's a little bit of both but I'm not going to come in and work when I can get paid to stay at home, get some DIY stuff done, pack for our move, and sleep in.  I would consider not taking it if he would pay me for it or let me roll it over, but he won't do either one.  Meanwhile he's on his all boys trip in Vegas starting today...

Vent #2:  My mother is driving my crazy.  I think she is going through the beginnings of empty nest syndrome, I'm moving out the week of the 4th of July.  She is all in my business, needs to know every single thing, questions everything, then over reacts at my answers.  Mind you neither of our parents are helping out financially with the house or wedding, but she's complaining about every single thing we have decided.  Then asks me why I have such a bad attitude after she's grilled me to death.  I love my parents dearly and I know she means well but...I can not wait to be out of the house and not have to deal with it anymore.

Confession: I hate my job.  I HATE my job.  Did you hear me?  I HATE MY JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew!  Now I feel better.  I've been looking for other jobs but it seems like I'm either over- or under-qualified for most open positions.  I have NO motivation at work and I feel like I'm going to get fired any day for it.  This isn't me!  I'm a hard worker, I love results!  But I find myself just sitting at my desk and surfing the internet instead of doing real work.  It's horrible.

Vent: Hmmm well other than work everything is peachy keen.  Got my invites from Michael's and now have to buy a topload printer and some ink and start working on those!  I guess now that I hit my 6 month countdown whenever I think of the wedding my chest gets a little tighter because even though it feels like it's going by so slow, it's also going by REALLY fast!  I hope I can get everything done!!

Meegles--have you tried looking into alternative medicine at all?  Even going to Vitamin World or Whole Foods and asking what they carry that could help with yeast infections is worth it.  I have all but lost faith in traditional medicine.  It seems most stuff like allergies, yeast infections, etc. can be attributed to what we have too much or too little of in our system.  I've fixed many issues on my own with holistic medicine.  Just a thought!

MLynn--I would be upset too if it were my aunt and cousins not coming due to a ball game.  That seems dumb, you have a right to be miffed!

Confession/Vent: At 17 days out, I am SO over wedding planning. I am so excited for that day to be here but I cannot wait to have it over with.

Meegles4

Amy - thanks. Unfortunately, I tend to stick with traditional medicine b/c I had an organ transplant several years ago. The side effects from this are also likely to blame for the current health issues. It's just frustrating that if this is something I have to deal with, I can't get a little sympathy (and more than 5 minutes) from my doctor.

Bam - I'm so excited to see pics of your wedding!

If you are looking for a different gyno in the metro area, send me a message. I really love mine - she is thoughtful and incredibly nice. It's a collaborative practice so there are a few doctors to choose from.

lesley909

Meegles4 - i know a good one too in the canton/ann arbor area she is amazing, she is a d.o so she really looks at your body as a whole to figure out if something is causing it and really listens to your concerns.

Meegles, not to  get to personal but do you use colored toilet paper?  When I was young I constantly was getting UTI's and found out it was because we only had colored toilet paper.  I know this is different from a yeast infection but worth considering.  Another option is have your changed your soap or laundry detergent.  Some more TMI for everybody, I used to use shaving cream when shaving downstairs and would always get killer yeast infections!!  Changed my shaving medium and all better.  Just some thoughts.  

Bamross, I'm 24 days out and also over wedding planning!  Unfortunately, there is still stuff to be done.  You must be so excited!!  

acaponi87

I didn't know they made colored toilet paper.

WTF I am exactly 1 month out (yay!) and my face has decided to have some sort of allergic reaction to I have no idea what. Red/bumpy/itchy. This does not happen to me, ever. Why now?!

Meegles4

Marissa and Lesley - YGPMs shortly

Lynn - I have never even heard of colored toilet paper! I'm now really intrigued by this. (but obviously that's not the problem for me :-)

Confession: I look at my registry every day. Some times multiple times a day. I can't resist looking!

Vent: On that same note, my '5-showers in 10 days marathon' kicks off on monday. Virtually nothing is purchased from our registry. I am getting really nervous about why no one is buying gifts. The first shower is 5 days away!!!!!!!

mlynn- You have every right to be upset about your Aunt. Seriously..a baseball game? That just seems so silly to miss a wedding over. Especially if you are close, that is unacceptable in my opinion and I would be incredibly hurt.

Meegles- I am not sure where you are, but my gyn is in Novi, and I love her. If you are interested, send me a PM.

acaponi- I love your new sig picture!

Confession: My grandma is coming out my way tonight to have dinner with my mom and aunt, they asked me to come and I lied and said I had to work. My grandma is incredibly nosey and was asking inappropriate questions about my wedding last time I talked to her (ex. how much my FIs parents were contributing. seriously) My mom knows the truth and told me she doesnt blame me!

MMRoberts11

One of my BMs decided to invite her mom without asking me if it was ok first.  She then sent me a text today saying they'll only be at the ceremony because they "need" to drive up the Glen Arbor that night.  Seriously?!  She was SO excited and wanted to know every detail and now she doesn't care and wants to go on her vacation.  I was a little pissed at her today for the fact that she couldn't even call me to talk about it, she had to send the one text and then not respond.

Vent - NWR: I am pissed with my cousin's air-head wife.  It seems that cousin's half sister's husband died of a heart attack early Monday morning.  She posted it on FB and another cousin in TN read it and told it to my aunt.  Mom just happened to call her sis in TN and that is how we found out about it.

I checked the FB page and apparently she has blocked me.

Mom called the step-cousin today to see how she was doing and told her how we found out and that Melissa most likely blocked me on FB.  I think Jackie was totally shocked.

It seems that Melissa's word is right and no one else is allowed to have a different/opposing opinion.
