GTT: The Complain-y One

The mission this week is to let it all out. Get everything that’s driving you nuts off of your chest. And that’s why I debated participating this week.

On one hand, this should be a really easy post. Because, honestly? There are a ton of things that annoy me.
On the other hand, how many times a day can you think/say/type “This suuuucks” before you begin to annoy even yourself?

But, since I’m getting sick of the same post being up at the top, and since I apparently have a complete block going on, mentally speaking, here is my list of obnoxious things.*

1) The amount of homework I have to do is ridiculous. Between that and housework? Well, I think I figured out *why* I’ve had the same post up for nearly a week.

2) The Department of Veteran’s Affairs. Still annoying, still coming up with new reasons not to pay TheMan. Still inefficient, at best. At worst? Clearly a tool of the devil.

3) Germs. Look, I? Am busy. While both kids were down for the count last weekend** and needing lots of snuggles, care and tissues, among other things, I also had homework, housework, and tests that needed studying for. But I managed. Now, my throat is sore. And all I have to say is, Back. The Hell. Off.

4) There are not enough hours in a day. Self-explanatory.

5) Things keep breaking. If you’ll reference #2, right now is *really* not the best time for the Jeep to start acting odd, or the electronics to die, or the fridge to start whining. But has this stopped *any* of them? No.

6) It’s also really annoying to have to ask for help. It’s annoying to be dealing with the state/county “economic counselors” in order to be able to cover the kids’ medical bills. It’s annoying to have to ask my parents for a loan. It’s really freaking annoying that I felt the need to stick a little (hopefully not too jarringly out of place) donate button in the side bar. And it’s annoying that I felt like I had to erase, re-write, erase, re-write etc etc that last sentence, because, yes, it is something that’s driving me nuts, but still *I* put it there. And I don’t want anyone to think that I’m pointing it out to make them feel guilty.

So yes. Am done. Summary: Mostly annoyed by lack of cash, and lack of time.
So what are you annoyed by? Let me know in the comments, or click the button at the top to participate with your own post!
Love and such,

    Time and money would be 1 & 2 for me, but they are a constant irritant so I bypassed them lol. I do however feel your pain. It's hard raising children, finding the time for anything, and paying bills. A lot of people just don't get that (i.e. people with money who can pay others to do the things for them that they don't want to do which frees up their time lol).

      @Brittany, The really annoying part is that every time I bitch about the VA? Google posts a little ad telling me how much the VA rocks. Argh! :)

    I totally feel you on the "not a good time for the XYZ to start acting up". My washer just started to do the same thing. If you're like me, you just hold your breath and hope it stands for a while longer!

    Well, jeez louise, you've gotta lot going on. And are rightfully annoyed about all of it, I might add. But put on a happy face, willya? (Don't you wanna shoot people who say shit like that?) Have a glass or 4 of wine. Watch a romantic comedy. It'll take the edge off even if it's just for a couple hours.

      @Kami, hehe, yes! That is an annoying thing to say.
      "Look, I have my happy(well, less annoyed) face on a good chunk of the time, just give me a few minutes to bitch, will ya?"
      lol

    There is NEVER a good time for kids to get sick or stuff to break. Amen.
    Hope you climb out of this stuff soon…ugh.

    Sounds full on shitty, really. I should say something more flower-y than that, but I am justifying your bitching by not telling you not to bitch, right? So, how about hang in there. Keep bitching where necessary … and drink wine.

    • ThePsychobabble

      @The Ranting Mommy, Flowery-ness not required around here, lol

    All my appliances are dying too – the big ones. And germs are always on my bitch list.

  • ThePsychobabble

    Oh god. I love you all, you know that? lmao Thank you

      @ThePsychobabble, test, test, ignore

    Lack of cash and lack of time seem to cover it for me too. :) I am debating the donate button – I could use it but ….well, its like you said. Good luck!

    Lack of time and money seems to cover it. If I thought Hubs wouldn't die from embarrasment, thereofre causing even more lack of time and money, I would add a "For the love of God, please hire my husband in a REAL job in his field!" button. I bitch because it gets it off my chest and then I can move on.
