rw-just a general whine

Yeah, I'm hearing you -- I'll add a little cheese to that whine, ok??

I'm so freaking tired I could literally cry.  The allergies have kicked me SO hard, and with the anthistaminte and some "girl stuff" that's going on, I'm just plain O-V-E-R it. 

I'd say "Calgon Take Me Away" but it would probably flood.

Um... well ... the diet Coke was a little watery this morning.  That's all I got.

Though I can't exactly understand the specific issues you are dealing with, I do feel for you.  Especially the tired part.  My MS wipes me out, more so on some days than others.  Two weeks ago I was crashing bad and all I wanted to do was come home from work and crawl in bed.  But when everything at the house save for holding down the couch is left to me, I couldn't just go to bed.  About all I did muster was feeding the dogs and myself.  It drove me absolutely batty that laundry wasn't getting done or any other chore around the house (heaven forbid he help).  Sometimes it - whatever it is - feels like more than you can handle.

Step back and breathe girl, one step at a time!

 Gina, I hear you and will add mine right along to yours. You've been on my mind with all that's going on and I really hope things start looking better for you. You, Eli, and the puppers have my prayers!

As for my whine? I am so freakin tired - not only bodily, but also of being sick and not being able to shake it, these horrible headaches, this blasted diabetes not being controllable and adding to the other friggin problems. I've got so much I need to do, and WANT to do and I am not getting any of it done. When am I going to be healthy for a change? I'm tired of giving up my life to feel half way decent, and not even that is working anymore.

I need to be able to get Piper out to work on her people problem and that hasn't been happening. Which means no dog shows for her, not that I have the energy to go. Keela's been at my mom's for a month while she's in heat and I am soooooo missing my girl. I'm scared to death about Piper's next season and the upcoming breeding. It's nerve-wracking and I constantly switch back and forth between doing it and having her spayed.

Throw on top of that our looking for a house and not finding anything we like in our price range and I just want to go curl up under a rock and pull the hole in on top of me.

Calgon is right, but I'm afraid it would turn into a mudslide!

Gina, I feel for you.  Devin was sick ALL WEEK last week.  I don't do well with a throwing up kid and hated every minute of it.  Just when I would think we were in the clear for a few days we would have a random throw up.  I have been depressed ever since b/c it has made me question my abilities as a mother and if I could handle even having a second child.  Then on Thursday, when I thought it couldn't get any worst, I killed my bosses cat as I was leaving work.  I still want to cry about that every time I even think about it.  Then finally the weekend seemed to be getting better and my husband came down the bug.  I am back to being a crazy hand washing sanitizing crazy woman...and a single mom on top of that for the time being.  I am exhausted from all the stress of a sick child last week and the not sleeping well.  I just want to dig a whole and crawl in it lately.  Maybe we could take a vacation together....I seriously just wanted to stay at work yesterday...I told my boss I was half way tempted to pick up Devin and come back and just spend the night here.  I feel like I could cry all the time lately. 

I hear you both.

I went to bed later than usual last night,a nd woke up at 3:30, and have been up ever since.  I am so tired, and i'm so irritated at work.  My office is on the 2nd floor, and the lawyer's poffice is on the first floor (two flights of stairs down).  Now, I know it's not horrible, but I am exhausted, and she will buzz my phone and ask me to come down, so down I go, then she will ask me to bring her soething that is in my office! so up I go, and down I go.  Or she will ask me to come to her office, to ask me to get someone on the phone for her! she could have told me over the phone!

Go ahead and whine, Gina.  You've had one he!! of a month during August.  Now pour a glass of wine and repeat after me:  "September is a new month and there will be no problems with the new counters."

Yep, I'll just jump right in here w/ this.  I WANT MY MEDS TO WORK RIGHT!!!!  The meds they put me on when I first was diagnosised w/ diabetes worked 'too well' and I hit a low everyday at 2:30, so was very quickly switched to something else.  That was great for about a year, then it didn't seem to be keeping the levels down as well.  So they put me back on the first medicine.  Still the same problem (and smallest dose possible) low everyday at 2:30 and weekends were even worse b/c I didn't have the same eating schedule (woke up late) and almost passed out.  Of that and on to a new med.  Didn't work, after eating (and not over-doing the carbs) it would be high, so they said to double it and take 2 pills every morning, still no good.  And to top it off, b/c I spent those couple of weeks w/ having meds not work, I got a yeast infection from too much sugar in my system.  Which stressed my system and caused the latest medicine not to work very well, which made higher levels of sugar in my system, which made the infection harder to get rid of  Finally got rid of that and for the most part the latest meds seem to be working, except after breakfast.  I'm supposed to get lots of readings this week and call the nurse on friday.  I just want to be able to be NORMAL.  I don't wanna have to worry about doctors and pills and insurance all the time. 

Was texting w/ the STBX last week b/c he owes me $.  He decided he's not giving me most of it  So I informed him that come the 9th I am NOT paying for the divorce, if he wants it, then he can make it happen.  Who knows how long this will take.  Oh yea, and he's lying to everyone about everything I do, right down to, he doesn't know what went wrong, or why we split up.  Hmm, ya think maybe that could be b/c you screwed any female who was willing to let you?  Yea, I think maybe that could be it.

And Co-Co is being a butt lately about coming back inside.  So she's getting a collar and long line put back on till she can remember the rules.

((everyone))...

This is good to read...not because you guys are sad...that's bad, and I totally commiserate. But I don't feel alone in my misery and maybe that can help me shake it off. I don't know...but maybe.

I just want to run away sometimes...like a little kid...and hide. *sigh*

I don't have kids or any of the other issues you've had to deal with, but I've definitely felt the same way. I have a lot to be grateful for right now though, so I'm trying to focus on that and nothing else. Life can be a real grind sometimes though. Whatever it is you do that's just for you, find a little time to do that. I like to check out by lying down with a good book and then taking a nap. Do you have anything like that? I'd be feeling just like about the kitchen counters but I hope it's going to go smoothly and you'll be grinning from ear to ear tomorrow night.

Gina, I've felt the same many times and just wanted to run away from home like a little kid.  I just know DH would hire a PI to track me down so he wouldn't have to take care of the dogs 24/7.  Right now my life is going good and I appreciate that, I really do.  I know that all that can change in a heartbeat.  Literally.

 Go ahead and have a good cry.  Now have a nice cold brew.  Now just pick yourself up and get in there and check those guys guffawing in the kitchen.  You're kitchen is going to look so good that I will have to hate you.  That should cheer you up. LOL

I'm going to whine in a bit.  I just got word that the contractors stained all of my cabinets the wrong color, so I'm waiting to see how bad it is so that I can whine appropriately.

(This is my third attempt at posting my whine... which I think, in and of itself, deserves a whine.) Now I am going to compose my whine as a letter, to 2009.

Dear 2009,

 I understand that you may feel some need to beat me up, and that's okay, it happens to everyone now and again. But must you insist on kicking me while I'm down? I mean, really, so far this year you've done an amazing job of depressing me and upsetting me and you've only been working on it for a month and a half. Shall I list your previous attacks?

First, in May, my cat went missing -- presumably to die. Which would have been fine, he was old and we'd been expecting it. But my family didn't tell me for a week, so that "it didn't affect my grades." Then, in June, while my boss was out of town, and my mom wouldn't give me any hours, my best friend's dad died. Then Misha got kicked out of GA again. Then ALOK's mechanic killed himself. Then my parents' got into a huge car accident -- but they're both okay now, even if the insurance companies have yet to pay. Then my great-grandmother died. Then I went for a month in Taos, to do school-work and I did really well. I got all As, in fact. But, while I was there, you -- 2009 -- had to make sure everything here was falling apart. My best friend and her mother are having lots of problems getting along, deciding about school, etc. If I hear either one of them threaten their own lives again, I swear I will explode. Another friend's engagement has fallen apart. My dad's car died, leading him to buy a brand-new one... which means my mom can't get a car. Papa's cancer is back, and they can't do chemo anymore. My great-uncle had a surgery yesterday that I have no clue what it was for. And my grandmother might have leukemia.

After reviewing your actions, 2009, don't you think it's time you gave me a break? Are the few recent good things a result of an impending truce? Cause that'd be nice...

 I might be getting a job here soon (I should interview either tomorrow or Friday). And I am going to apply for a Fulbright scholarship.

Here's hoping that everyone's year turns around and gets a whole lot better!

 Yours truely,

aDorkable

I don't have much to whine about, except that I am SO behind on housework it's shameful.... and I feel as if our bathroom will N E V E R be finished. 

I recommend a bubble bath, a chip butty and a LARGE hot chocolate.  At the same time.  It does wonders for the soul.  Then wrap yourself in a cozy dressing gown, curl up in the comfiest spot in the house with a very good book and a glass of wine.  After that, you can either zonk out and sleep or you could pummel DH into giving you a massage. 

Tomorrow, you will be a new woman.

I can sympathize with you all.  2009 has been a kick in the face.  Just recently, I thought things would start looking up.  I'mbuyingahouse (just gonna slide that one in there), but the closing has been pushed out THREE times.  I'm really starting to hate hearing from my realtor.  Add to that a teamate has been out about half the year so far, and I get to deal with her hateful customers.  I have a family member out there who admittedly (to my face) will lie about me and to me to hurt my feelings.  There's a plethora of other things.  Such as my uncle visited while I was out and ate half the cookies I made yesterday.  UGH.  Triple UGH.
