Charlotte - Fuck them and the horse they road in on. If they are choosing to buy into the hog swill that your swine of a mother has put out there instead of relying on you to be the person that they have always known and hung out with, then they are not worth your time or your thoughts. Your husband will quickly realize that, while it was cool to connect with them for a night or two, they are not really worth his time either.

My bitch is insurance companies. I recently had to find a new insurance company. I took two of the kids to the doctor this week, only to be told that my new insurance does not cover well child visits. After a great heaping helping of pissed off bitch on the phone, I found out that some idiot made a "clerical error" and gave me the wrong tier of insurance in their system. So now I have to wait another month before I can take my kids into the doctor. I'm covered in the mean time for any catastrophic event. But no well child visits. I believe they now refer to me as "that bitch from Florida"

I’m tired of how thin Husband is spreading himself. He has to work. He has to work some weird hours. Leaving early, coming home for awhile, going back to work and returning after I’ve gone to bed...I get that. What he doesn’t have to do is volunteer so much.

He’s eyeball deep in the athletics program at the oldest boy’s school and it’s eating any little bit of free time he has. Today he came home from work, went to the high school to see OB at baseball practice and got roped into working a table for the baseball team at tonight’s Open House for next year’s freshmen that youngest boy had to go to tonight. I took YB to Open House where we met Husband who was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. After that was done, Husband went back to work.

It’s getting on my damned nerves because he gets worked up about shit going on with the athletic program (And volunteers me for things! I’m supposed to be building a website for them. But they have so many restrictions on how they want it that I haven’t even started. I’m not wasting any of my time only to be told that it isn’t what they wanted.) when he doesn’t need to.

We don’t even have a kid playing any sports at the school yet!

I am so tired of people trying to rain on my parade. It's a two-float parade, so it's easy to miss, but I'll be damned if I let some snot-nosed little bitch try to rain me out of my fun!

I understand your life sucks, really I do. However, I'm trying to *stop* seeing my life as sucking, so forgive me if I don't give a flying shit about your latest "bad" day. I say "bad" because I don't see how having time to get breakfast from a restaurant (not to mention the extra money to get said breakfast) and enjoy yourself is a problem.

Also, if you've never had to fight to get off over fifty pounds, do not give me dieting advice. I do not care if Lean Cuisine, Healthy Choice, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, or any other system, worked to get those pesky fifteen pounds off. I am working to lose the equivalent of an average eleven year old girl. That's not something that will disappear after a month of "being good". I have to relearn how to eat, how to shop, how to *cook*, and those home delivery food systems? Don't teach you that.

I'm trying to be glass is half-full, but diet talk puts me on the fast track down hill, without so much as a 'collect $200 when you pass go'.
