Should I go back on my happy pills or what? Lately things are irritating me so badly! I am not having crying fits though, which is what I might have done in the past. Just burst into tears to relieve the stress. Now I just want to beat the crap out of someone! Here’s why:
Complaint #1)
So at my work, we will typically have a meeting scheduled and it might get cancelled at the last minute, which irritates me because I probably had to change plans in order to go to the meeting in the first place, and by the time it gets cancelled, I can’t go back to doing the thing I was going to do. So that bugs me to no end. So we had an area-wide meeting scheduled, and I knew it couldn’t be cancelled because they had to make reservations at a place and everything! So I bring clothes to change into with me to work because I don’t want to go all hairy in my work clothes (I am a hairdresser, remember) and it’s okay to wear non-uniform clothes to these events. BUT! And here’s the thing! When I get to work, they tell me, “You know we have to wear our white shirts there right?!” And I am just livid! I’m like, “NO! No one told me! I have been off for the last two days! Why didn’t anyone call me?! Well, I’m not doing it! I brought other clothes to change into!” etc. I was so mad! Of course, something had to change at the last minute! And it was just our store manager’s idea to make us all match and look cute together at this meeting. Uh, when we get there, there are several others in their white shirts also, so we didn’t stand out at all or anything! So it was pointless and “mandatory”!
But I cooled down and decided to call my husband and have him make sure my white shirt was not wrinkled so I could come by after work on my way to the meeting, and put on my stupid white shirt!
Complaint #2)
As I am driving out of my neighborhood yesterday afternoon, there are 4 teenage boys on their bicycles in the middle of the road! The first 2 move over slightly to get out of the way. (they are coming at me, not going the same way on the street) and the other 2 are behind them and find it amusing to NOT get out of the way. I could have run over the little asshole! I wish I had! I honked my horn at him (the one closest to my car) and he just waved and said hey, like he was being cute or funny. I am easily irritated, maybe, or this was probably justified, I don’t know. But I was cussing him out, only my window was up. Little bastard! They all looked about 14 or 15. Old enough to know better, but old enough to be assholes! And I don’t usually swear. I’m the one who says things like, “drat, dang, dang-it!”
Complaint #3)
This is the one that people I know might read and get offended. We bought our son a bicycle. His old bike has training wheels. The boy is 8 years old. He needs to learn to ride a bike without training wheels. He is the first grandchild on my husband’s side, so he is babied a lot. His bigger bike didn’t come with training wheels, so we thought we would just practice with him and he would learn to ride it. But the grandparents had the bike at their house for a while, and while it was there, they go buy expensive training wheels that we didn’t even want, and have them put on the bike! Now, I know they are just thinking that they are helping out, I guess. But it irritated me, that was not our plan. And I want to take the wheels off of the bike, when we ever get it back over to our house!! I want the dang bike back at our house! How can I take him out on the bike if it is not even over here????? That also irritates me.

Note: I love that my kids have grandparents on my husband's side, because my parents are no longer here, my kids never knew my parents, and that makes me sad, so I am glad they have a good set of grandparents to know. I just still have complaints sometimes. It's normal.
Don't feel bad about your inlaws irritating you. It happens to all of us. Only a rare few of us get really terriffic inlaws. Also, my own mother does things like that all the time and it irritates the heck out of me and she's my own mother. Anyway, I wouldn't say a word to the inlaws about the training wheels, I would get the bike back soon and just take them off. It's definitely the best way for him to learn to ride withouth them and it will happen quickly, you'll see....Later, Lori
P.S. Thanks for stopping by my blog and sorry about the address. I did that to another friend...my brain is really shot.
my doc just put me on cymbalta...an antidepressent for people in chronic pain and depressed...if it works do it.
the teens: they are fuckers. I hate teenagers. bastards. the bike: go get it and then don't let him take it anymore.
good job on the post and the venting...you're getting better!
I agree! Venting is a very good thing, in my humble opinion, and that's what blogs are for!!
Don't be afraid of meds if you need them. I have been on zoloft for a little over a year for anxiety and I didn't realize how bad I felt until I felt better. Ya know?
Anyway--I am glad you could vent! I hope you feel better.
