Where a Bitch loses her mind

Category : , , , , , , , , ,


Oh holy fucking shit, I did not realize that stupidity and stereotypes followed me to Bum-fuck-Nowhere in the Badlands of the sprawling Northwest.


I've learned the following, all from a skinny "Perfect Princess" twat who wouldn't know what manners, morals, or a soul would be if it reared up and bit her in her flat ass:

Fat people are lazy.

Fat people sneak food into public bathrooms, all for the sake of eating... in the bathroom.

Fat people are fat to be fat. There are no underlying reasons (depression, anxiety, etc) for the extra weight, there is nothing wrong with them, they're just fat and they like to be fat.


Also, cutters? They cut because they're stupid. They're just stupid people who don't have anything else to do, so they cut. Depression, ment
al disorders, PTSD, none of that could lead to cutting. Nope, cutters are just stupid people.


I wanted to rip her spine out through her nose and beat her over the head with it.


I've imagined ripping her spleen out through her mouth just to make myself feel better.



Husband had surgery 3 weeks ago and has been home ever since. He's not scheduled to go back to work for 2 more weeks. On one hand, I'm glad he's listening to his doctor and not going to work too early but on the other? I'm losing my mind with not having any alone time.

I can't blog too much because he wants to know what I'm doing. If I'm reading, he wants to know what I'm reading. If I go to the bathroom, he taps on the door to tell me he has something interesting for me to see when I get out. I think he's bored out of his mind.
And the house is a mess. I get it if he feels too crappy to move around but he can still tell the teenagers that live here to clean. I'm going to have to make another "bitch list" this weekend for the boys to read every day so they are reminded to clean up.




The hubs and I are going through a "dry spell" he's been working long hours out of town. He leaves well before dawn and is home really late. Lots of overtime, except he's on salary for a tiny, shit-ass company which means they can squeeze all the overtime they want out of him and not really compensate him in any way. And, because it's a smaller company they fit through a loophole that allows it.
That on top of a huge pay cut last year, reduced health benefits and having to work around jackasses constantly - is why he's now looking for another job.


This whole damn week has been for the fucking birds if you ask me. I have either been in bed moaning in pain, or dealing with more crap than I care to think about. I'm just pissy and bitchy, and rather than spew crabby all over your computer monitor, I think I will just hit publish and go to bed.

Bitching...

I don’t mind fetching and getting the kids. I DO mind being told that one is staying late after school for extracurricular activities and then getting the stinkeye because I didn’t answer my phone when Husband called to ask me to get the kid at the last minute. I knew I was in trouble when I got up from my nap and saw 18 missed calls...normally, I NEVER turn my phone ringer off on my day off but did because I was so sure that nobody was going to call me. So Husband drove home to get the kid. Took him 20 minutes to get to the school. We are 2 miles from the school. The kid could have walked home in that
time and I pointed that out to Husband when he gave me a look when he came through the door. Work your legs, kid! You think you want to drive? That shit isn’t happening on my watch until you walk home from school a few times.

I live with a bunch of princesses.



Celeste... tell the kids I walked home from school every day from grades eight on through my senior year. I got rides home if my friends had a car. I didn't get my drives license until a few months before I graduated high school, and even then, my mother needed her car and there was no way in hell we could afford another car.


Moving on.

I have no idea what is up with the people who live in this town, but there seems to be a rampaging case of contagious PMS and everyone keeps infecting everyone else. Five minutes after work starts, every single one of us is ready to go home and not because we're sick of work. It's because we're on the edge of knifing every damn person who comes in the door.


If you're cranky, upset, hormonal, or overly emotional, I don't give a flying fuck, keep it to yourself and stop raining on my parade.
Also, getting dumped for a younger woman? Fucking blows. When said younger woman isn't even legal to drink and still lives at home with her Mommy and Daddy? Even worse. I would like to say I blame the woman (girl, really, since she's not yet nineteen years old) but she truly had no idea. Like any good whore, I know how to keep my mouth shut about men I roll around in the sheets with, and this new one was no different.

What pisses me off the most is that less than thirty-six hours prior to me finding out he was now 'dating' said girl, he was fucking my brains out. THAT is my problem.

I am so incredibly pissed at my oldest child right now, that it is not even funny. Pissed to the point of my blood pressure being through the roof and I have a migraine. Why? Because he has a 20% in reading. A TWENTY FUCKING PERCENT!!! Not because he can't read. Not because he didn't read the book. Not because he didn't understand the book. NOT even because he didn't do the homework associated with the book. No! Because he DIDN'T FEEL LIKE TURNING IT IN. I really hope that the next 4 weeks of no TV, cell phone, computer or friends will make him feel more like turning in the homework.




 I have a cold this week. It's making me less tolerant of stupidity than usual. My marriage is going through, yet another, rocky period.

I have been forced to intervene where my son and his relationship is concerned. I have banned said girlfriend from the house on weekends for the foreseeable future. I don't think my son is doing very well in college because every time he is asked about it he tends to get tense and bitchy. This is a new experience for me, a child in college. It's strange, where I could be on top of his work, tests, etc. in high school - he's now in college and it's really not quite my place although it would be were I footing the bill. I don't know and I hate navigating unfamiliar territory.

While I'm at it, I'm very tired of lazy people with little to no responsibility getting a free ride. If I have to hear or see one more comment about my sister and her friend and their free trip to Hawaii and how much they NEED a vacation I am probably going to explode. I think I need a drink.

It's Friday! Let's Grouch!

Dear Stupid Exwife,

Just because the school sends out an automated call saying that a student made a threat on FaceFuckingBook about the school but it’s been handled - doesn’t give you the right to call Husband screeching about how you don’t want your children going to school here. The school is fine. It was one fucked up kid who said something incredibly stupid online. I’m sure he’s being tortured by his parents in a basement somewhere now.

The boys? Will NEVER go to school where you live because you signed all that shit away when you were being greedy while divorcing. It seems that you’ve forgotten that.

FOAD.






I had two wonderful days off this week, and I just got back to work today. I really don't have a bitch at this moment in time, because I found out that the Cell Gods do indeed smile upon the deserving, because drunken texts were not delivered to the wrong person.


I found out my asshole exhusband finally got some come-uppens when military housing booted his fat ass out of military housing. He was living in our old apartment with some fat woman, housing figured it all out (never mind I had TOLD them I'd moved out months ago) and kicked him out. Poor little fucktard had to move out and do God knows what with all his crap. AND he's got to pay back almost eight and a half thousand dollars. He doesn't make a thousand dollars a month, and the military doesn't fuck around with that shit. If you owe them money, they will yank it all out of your checks and leave you royally fucked.


I kept breaking out into giggles all fucking day because of that shit.

To those who think that, simply because you're related to a dickhead, means you're going to act like one too... Fuck you. And that high horse you rode in on.

To the dickhead who is trying to shove fourteen years of parenting into nine months, and achieves this by barging into my home because they thought I "needed help"? Fuck you too. Next time, I'm going to be involved in a threesome with people you can't stand, and I'm not going to stop when you running in the door. In fact, I'll record it, post it on the internet, and give everyone in this godforesaken shithole the URL so they can see it.


It is hard to work up a good bitch when you have spent the better part of the week being Birthday Queen. I would love to be treated like this every day, but who am I kidding? I'm a mom and a wife. I am at the bottom of Shit Hill, and everything rolls down on me eventually!

I'm too blahed out to bitch. I've spent the better part of the week asleep in an effort to ignore the people I live with. If the Oldest Boy doesn't start pulling the wagon better with his schoolwork....Gah. I'm gathering the gumption to go to work tomorrow instead of calling out. How I loathe that place.




What can I say? Shit is shitty right now and once again I've made it by the skin of my teeth. Yeah, I'd love to get down in the dumps and all bitter about it like my husband - but I won't because we're making it by and while it's not comfortable it's better than what it could be and at some point we have to turn this around and be thankful for the crumbs we've got even if it's not as much as we'd like. WTF else are we going to do?

You know what ruins a good shower? Husband opening the damned door just as I’m rinsing my hair to get out and bitching about how long I’ve been in there. I’m an adult! I’m not wasting time when I’m in there. I’m not picking my nose or whacking off. I’m washing something every moment.He times me. 20 minutes is my average (and that’s if I don’t do any leg or ladybit grooming) and he congratulated me on making it out in 13 the other night. I was actually winded after rushing through in 13 minutes and I don’t think all of the conditioner was washed from my hair.

I swear, the next time he cracks the door open to ask me if I know how long I’ve been in there (Of course I don’t! I’m in the shower! I’m not looking at a clock! When was the last time you saw a clock in our shower?!) I might just come out all soapy and crawl into bed beside him.




I'd probably stab my husband with a knitting needle if he clocked my shower time. The more upset or irritated I am the longer I stay in the shower and the safer the rest of my family is by the time I get out - and they know it!It's been a shit-tastic week and I'm seriously hoping this weekend will make up for it - not that we have anything other than a family movie night planned on Saturday. Still, I've had it with shitty comments people make, I've had it with people being dishonest and/or manipulative. I could go into detail but I'd quickly take up way too much space. Right now I'm sick of about 99% of the people on this planet and my husband, one child and about 4 friends are the only people I can truly say I like.



I'm so sick of people, in general. There are creeper people, and smelly people, and dirty people, and pervy people. I'm so damn done with them.


From the guy who looks to be jaundiced all over, I really like hiding behind another coworker when he comes into my place of employment. Because hiding is easier than telling him to go the hell away, and hiding won't cost me my job.


The drug addicts who come in and make my life miserable? Do me a favor, and OD. Put me out of the anguish of having to be in your company, and take your burden off the actual tax payers who have the ability to hold on to honest work.

Yes, I know addiction is a disease. I know it's ugly and painful and horrible, but a disease can be cured. You have to have a reason to be cured from such a disease, yes, but the addicts I see day in and day out have kids. Children are worth getting cured, aren't they?


I am all in knots this week over my mother-in-law. MIL has been sick ever since I have known her, and that is coming up on 22 years. She has a disease that will eventually kill her. It attacks the internal organs. She was diagnosed with it 36 years ago, so she has already lived longer than most who have it. She has also spent 36 years on heavy duty pain medication. The dosages she takes in a day (and still manages to function normally) would take down a small elephant. That alone will do damage to your organs! Recently she has begun to have heart issues. She's had a pace maker put in, and been in congestive heart failure in the last few months. I feel bad for her and never would wish anyone to go through any of this, so please take my next statements with that in mind.

I just wish she would stop giving my husband the damned guilt trip! "I'm not ready to die" and "I don't know how I am going to make all my bills". She's angling for money from us. My stupid lazy ankle of a sister in law (she's an ankle, because she is so low, she can't even be a cunt) lives with my mother in law. No make that LIVES OFF my mother in law. She has not worked in over 3 years. She hasn't even tried looking for work. Yet my husband is expected to support them? How about that f'ing ankle get off her lazy fat ass and go get a damned job. I am totally willing to give aide to my mother in law, but I refuse to support a lazy druggie.

Friday Bitch for January 21, 2011

Category : , , , , , , , , , ,

This was rapidly becoming a long bitch so I've deleted and started it three times now. Let's get to the point, my husband is short on family and basically I'm not too far behind him. His aunt and three cousins attending our wedding. They live about 3 hours away and we never see them. He has started corresponding with his aunt via email and last night friended all of his cousins on FB. Look, they know me, they've been to our home, they've attended our wedding, we've all gotten drunk together, and we've done the funeral thing.

Did anyone friend me? Nope. Okay, fine. I'm not really family after 3 children and over a dozen years of marriage, cool. Not a problem. Even though his aunt and I used to email frequently (his mother fucked that up) - and I'm getting to my real issue...
I can count on one hand (two if I'm being generous) the number of times my husband has interacted with me on FB. But, there he was last night, Mr. McFriendly friending all his relatives and commenting on their posts. Sure, I could sit here and say, gee, he's probably happy to be interacting with his family but then I'd be all "Suzy HeartsandFlowers" and this wouldn't be a bitch and right now? I'm feeling pretty bitchy over it.



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'.

I wonder what my fellow bitches and everyone else thinks about teen girls and dating age? My 12 year old suddenly became interested in BOYS (said with as much scorn and loathing as a mother of 3 boys and only 1 girl can muster) last summer. Over the month of December she started "dating" one of those vile BOYS who are only after one thing. (How do I know that he's only after one thing? ALL 14 year old boys only have one thing on their mind. For that matter all 37 year old boys have that same thing on their mind) I did my best to minimize contact with said BOY. They met at a birthday party for a friend of my daughter and BOY lives 40 minutes away from here, so it wasn't to hard to keep face to face contact from happening. But they spent a lot of time talking over Facebook and cell phone. Last night the BOY broke up with my daughter, causing much tears, wailing and gnashing of teeth. Not to mention the phone calls from school because she was just to "sick" to stay there. And yes, by "sick" I mean emotional. I don't think that 12 year olds should be dating, but I also know that in this day and age of all things electronic it is next to impossible to keep them "little" for long. Is it wrong for me to despise all BOYS but the 3 I pushed out?








I'm a mother of 2 daughters, ages 15 (16, God help me, in April) and 7 (going on roughly 35 year old sea worn sailor, God help me again) - boys... gah. For starters, I happen to love boys. My son has an amazing group of friends that are all sort of second sons to my husband and I. They also are an amazingly, protective batch of young men who have more than intimidated any boy who even slightly looked at my 15 year old. It puts me in a lovely position because I get to play the good cop to their bad cops and I only offer my "Godmother" (like the Godfather only more violent) protection if I like the boy. ;) Which, thankfully, I happen to love my daughter's current boyfriend of almost a year. He's a quiet boy from a nice family, gets good grades and isn't an octopus when he thinks we aren't looking. I can't say the same for her first boyfriend. Which wasn't really her first boyfriend...

My daughter sort of got interested in boys in junior high. She had an age appropriate boyfriend and an age appropriate relationship. Let me explain what that means - my daughter didn't "Date" in the traditional sense. She had a boyfriend at school that she chatted with on the phone and hung out with at lunch. End of story and I think that's "age appropriate" one on one dates would not have been acceptable but I had no problem with a large group of kids going to the movies which only happened a few times.

The second boyfriend, my daughter was freshman in high school and he was a senior (the horror stories I could tell here, but I won't). My husband and I gritted our teeth through the entire relationship and happily celebrated (and none too quietly) as soon as it was over. The next boyfriend she attended winter formal with and I didn't like him because he was arrogant and a too full of himself, but he was polite. NONE of the boys (my son's friends) liked him or the previous boyfriend at all. I think it sort of expedited the exodus of both boys because my daughter got tired of scolding 18 - 20 year olds for intimidating her boyfriends. At any rate, she got bored quickly and dumped him moving on to another boy who actually ended up being her best friend and they broke it off and have remained even closer than when they were together. In fact, he sort of set her up with the current boyfriend. The two of them together really come off more like best friends than boyfriend/girlfriend and for that I'm very happy.

All of that being said - I think it's a sliding scale on relationships and children and socializing and all of that jazz. I don't think you get comfortable with your kids having any kind of relationship that propels them any closer to "adult" situations, honestly. Although, Winnie - your boys - do you feel the same way as you do with your daughter? (bolding because I hope you respond in the comments, I'm very interested!) Honestly? I have issues with my son's girlfriend but they aren't for the same reason as the issues I had with my daughter. In fact, I was going to bitch about gf today but I'll save that for another time. Regardless - as wrong as this may sound I've always taught my son to treat women a certain way (and I've preached safe sex in age appropriate conversations since he was 5) and after that I really felt that I had my own daughters to worry about and as long as I like the girl he's with - I really don't care.

And, ladies, I apologize for the length of my bitch, I did try to shorten it but sort of felt Winnie opened up a great discussion and I wanted to sort of lay my cards out so we could hopefully continue the conversation. Sorry!





I can honestly say, I'm too damn tired to bitch LOL. This week was a series of sleep deprivation, work, EMT class, and stupid people proving that there is always room for more stupid.


I feel like a sloth, I missed my work out three days this week, and it really gets driven home when I am rushing around trying to get things done just how out of shape I am. I missed it because I was really too tired to get up three hours before dawn to sweat and pant and gasp for air.


Gasping for air is not sexy when you're also sweating like a whore in church. (Mentioning whores, I'd like to have a body like Gianna Michaels when all is said and done.)

This makes me glad that we just have boys. As Husband says, “When you have a boy you only have to worry about one dick but when you have a daughter you have to worry about all of the dicks.”

I think it’s kind of weird that the boys (16 &14) haven’t really had girlfriends to speak of (16 took a girl a birthday card this year and he was embarrassed doing it. He asked me to go pick out a good card.) but part of me is really relieved. I don’t do people well in general and I’d really not enjoy that whole “getting to know the girlfriend and her parents” thing. They’ve been getting the Safe Sex and Be Respectful To Girls speeches for some time though. Hopefully, when they do get girlfriends that they hang around with, some of those speeches will be burned into their brains.

For a girl to be so upset over a boy at 12? Holy shit. I just realized that my niece will be 12 in a few months...I want to punch mean girls in the face when she gets picked on at school. I don’t know how I’ll handle her little heart getting broken.

Friday Bitch, 1st one of 2011

Category : , , , , ,

I am very seriously sick and tired of teens and their drama. Just because I don't want to drive 45 minutes, one way, to pick up your girlfriend or boyfriend, and then drive 45 minutes another direction to take you to a movie, THEN do it all over again when the movie is over, does not make me a bad person. It means I don't want to pay three god damned dollars a gallon and drive nearly three damn hours round trip for a movie. I am not the only parent with a car. Let the other parents drive their own kids to the movie. I'm more than willing to schlep the kids to the movie - but I am not a taxi for other parents that are (and I quote) unable to afford gas to drive that distance themselves. If you ask me, they just don't want to drive the distance anymore than I do.





Oh lucky me! Just in time for Friday bitch my husband decided to provide some excellent fodder. We have been together for over 15 years. Why the fuck is it that he can't manage to use the fucking phone and call my dad himself when he has a fucking question? Seriously!??!!? Look, I'm not that curious - I don't CARE - therefore, I am not going to start ringing people up like I'm his goddamned secretary!!!! You have a question - fucking call and ask! Don't sit there getting pissed off at me because I don't leap up at your every curiosity and spring into action simply because it's my father you want to ask a question! Especially when my dad has NO PROBLEM AT ALL calling my husband when he has question but somehow it's my dad so it's my job to ask? I'm not your fucking middle person!!!!

And, yes, I might be PMS'ing as well which would explain the over zealous use of "fucking" and "!!!!!" either way that sort of just supports my original bitch - if you have a fucking question ask it yourself! Otherwise - get off my fucking back and leave me the fuck alone!!!!


Sullen teenagers. For the love of all that is good and holy, it will be a minor miracle if I don’t run screaming from this house before next Thursday. Next Thursday is when YoungestStepson(14) has a Social Studies project due. He has known about it since Nofuckingvember. When did he start working on it? About 10 days ago. What has his “work” consisted of? Looking up shit at google.com and bing.com and printing photos. I told Husband that I wasn’t going to help with this project because IT’S NOT MY JOB! But I couldn’t stand it and asked him last night what books he’s read and discovered that the answer was none. So I hauled him to the library while he bitched the whole damned way about how he hated the library. Tell you what kid, just suck the dick of life and deal, okay? I know it was so hard for you to go to the library and watch me use the computer to find a book for you and check it out.

I’m fairly certain that he doesn’t understand exactly how his project is supposed to be presented and when I tried to explain it to him I got attitude. So, fuck it. One D grade in the 8th grade won’t ruin his record.

Husband is pissy that I’m being unhelpful. I explained that even if YS has slithered from my loins that I would be treating him the same. If you need help and are working on something and not being an asshole when I try to help you - then I will help you. Otherwise, you’re on your own.

I’m actually signing up to work overtime on Wednesday just so I won’t be home for all the last minute shit as he throws the project together.




I am so sick of someone trying to make me feel bad because I don't want to spend another four hours being "helpfully" insulted and made to feel like an outsider in your life while sitting on your sofa, when I'd much rather be at home. I have things to do at my own house, and a pet that needs to be taken care of after being alone for almost ten hours.

I am barely resisting the urge to scream at someone who fully expects me to drop everything because they suddenly decided they wanted to visit.

Friday Bitch 13: New Year's Eve 2010

Category : , , , , , , , , , , , ,



I’m sick and bitchy and I don’t know how much sense all of this will make. I’m going to have a little blog vomit.

I’m ready to slap 2010 on its ass and send it running. In many ways, this has been a great year but in my mind? It seems like I’ve spent more time trying to feel “right” than anything.
As a step towards feeling better, I got all of my prescriptions filled today and plan on being sure to take those things every day. Even though they make me pee like a cow on a flat rock and wreck my “on the phone time” at work. I shouldn’t not take medication because I’m afraid of having to get up from my desk to piss.

I stayed home from work today with a cold (or something. The Plague?) and a backache with the hopes that I won’t lose my voice tomorrow. I was worried if I went in today that my voice would go and I wouldn’t be able to work tomorrow. It’s never a good idea to be sick and call out of work on New Year’s Eve.
Let me ask you all something...Do you think that men and women can just be friends? I say yes and Husband says no. This is why I haven’t mentioned to him yet that I’m having lunch with a male coworker on Sunday. I’m working a few hours of overtime that day and realized that I’d be getting off the same time that coworker goes to lunch. This is also coworker’s last day. The fine company that I work for is firing him over stupid shit but were kind enough to keep him til Sunday. We’ve worked together for years and I asked him to lunch as a “last hurrah”. I’m fairly certain that Husband is going to be extremely pissy about it so I’m waiting til the last minute to tell him. It’s easier to beg forgiveness than ask permission.

Watching porn, looking up weird shit on the internet....all of these things I do with no worry but since this blog has started I’ve been cleaning my history trail on a daily basis.






I'm actually in a pretty good mood for a Friday, and have relatively little to bitch about. That in itself is pretty damn amazing. My parents are here for a vacation, and I haven't seen them since we made the great migration across the country 9 months ago. My parents and I get along great, and my husband adores them, so I have nothing to bitch about on that front...


Oh, I know! How about the surly attitude of teenagers. Oh my mother fucking monkey nut balls. My two older children will be damn lucky to get to see the light of day after this visit with their grandparents. I "get" that grandparents are not cool to hang around. But if I have to put up with one more drama laced teenaged temperamental afternoon, one of us is not going to come out standing.





2010 can go ahead and go. I've got EMT classes starting on Monday, and a cross-country move to plan. I've got my fellow mover (who is also driving across this great nation to come pick my chubby ass up).

I'm ready to get my EMT, get across the country, and start school for my nursing degree. Why? Because it costs about the same to get an associate of nursing degree as it does to take paramedic courses, and being a flight nurse pays better than paramedic.

I'm ready to have this holiday season over. I am sick of crying at the drop of a hat, I'm sick of hearing people complain about lack of presents, presents that weren't expensive enough, or that someone was fighting over holiday dinner.

I'm tired of people telling me I need a man because a woman "my age" shouldn't be alone. I shouldn't be working either according to them, I should be home raising a passel of babies. I'd love to be able to stay home and be a mother, but you kind of need a baby daddy who is worth the time it takes to get pregnant and who is willing to help. (That's one of the reasons I divorced, because my exhusband was as useful as a bicycle for goldfish when it came to doing anything beyond sitting on his hairy ass and leaving napkins of semen all over the computer desk)

Goodbye 2010, bring on 2011.





I'm currently going through a bizarre phase where I don't feel like drinking and then when I do it feels gross so I really wish I hadn't. I've had a glass of red wine tonight and I'm stopping right there. Then tomorrow is, of course, one of the biggest party nights of the year and I'm going to go over to my dad's and I'm making chowder and my husband is grilling shrimp for my dad's annual New Year's party. I really don't want to go but, truthfully, my horoscope keeps saying shit like, "you'd really like to stay in but you'll feel better if you accept the social invitations around you and get out and have some fun." What's a girl going to do? Go and shoot tequila with her father, of course. But, for the first time I'm really seriously looking hard at ways to prevent a hangover because I think it would make me lose my mind and I'm only half-joking... mostly. So if anyone has any sure-fire tricks send them along - post them in the comments. Something. Please. Help a sister out.

I'm ready for the year to be over with, I'm ready to move on and hopefully into something better. I'm tired of sitting around feeling like the next tragedy is going to drop into my lap any fucking second.

And, while I'm bitching... can I just say that I'm seriously worried about my son and his girlfriend? I just don't think she's good for him. She enables his negativity, she encourages him to be on one self-pity trip after another and truthfully? I think she's like a little kid who rescues a baby bird and then doesn't want the bird to fly off. Do you know what I mean? I think that's how she views him, they got together about a month after he was diagnosed with cancer - she has babied him and bucked us every step of the way. While she babied him, I encouraged him to get back on the horse, to toughen up a bit and move forward because he was cancer-free and on the road to recovery. She on the other hand went into a depression and got him all upset every time his 6 months check ups rolled around. And, everyone can clearly see he's trying to come out of it and she's just clawing, digging and hanging on to every little bit of melodrama that she can. I'm tired of it and I have to wonder if he is as well. He looks happier and more at ease when she isn't around than when she is.

Friday Bitch, Christmas Edition

Category : , , , , , , , ,


I am turning into one of the people I hate. I spent most of today going "Fuck Christmas!" and cheerfully wishing all the people I saw straight to hell.


I have never felt less like celebrating Christmas in my entire life. "But, Surreal, haven't you had stillborn children?" Yes, I have, and Christmas was hard each year, but I wanted to celebrate it because Christmas is a time of renewal. End of the year, and good tidings, and family, and friends, and even complete strangers who get touched by the Christmas spirit and try to spread the joy.

This year, there is no family. No friends. Nothing comforting.


And I want to just sleep until December 26th.


Sleeping til December 26th sounds very appealing. We've already pretty much given the boys their Christmas gifts (so they'd have time to play with them since they have to go to their bitch of a mother's early on Christmas morning) and we aren't planning a conventional Christmas dinner.
I'm mostly grouchy because the past two weeks have been horrid at work. The holidays really bring out the crazy fucking assholes. I've had 4 sobbing at my desk meltdowns lately while my coworkers peeked on in horror. Mean people suck.

This is the first time in almost 20 years that my body is going without the tasty goodness of birth control pills and I might be a bit sensitive while I adjust to being "normal". This is great fun.


My heart goes out to my fellow bitches. I know how hard the holiday season can be. Yesterday marked the 2nd anniversary of my grandpa's passing. It was really hard on me, because it was so hard on my mom. She told me that she feels just as much an orphan today as she did 2 years ago.

But at the same time, this is a good time of year for me. My toddler is infatuated with all the glitz and glitter of the lights. I love watching his reaction. This afternoon we are going to a party with Santa. I fully expect him to refuse to sit on Santa's lap, but that's ok! It is all part of the season!




This has been the absolute week from hell. Food poisoning or a stomach virus last weekend followed by a tooth extraction on Monday - which was not the lovely sort of "conscious sedation remove your wisdom teeth" sort of extraction but full blown present in the moment instead. That was followed by finishing up Christmas shopping, Christmas wrapping, and my husband acting like a royal jackass last night to boot. Throughout all of this have been the record rainfalls (aka torrential downpour) for days on end and I have to wonder if the suicide rate isn't going to be up this Christmas because of it.

I am honestly usually such a freak about Christmas, those who have known me for years know I've never been the "bah humbug" sort but this year I'm dangerously close to it and it honestly frightens me. I'm trying to rebound today, though. I've got a batch of gingerbread dough chilling in the fridge, I'm getting ready to make a batch of sugar cookie dough so I can spend the afternoon with my 6 year old decorating cookies for Santa. My greatest fear is my shitty mood ruining the magic of the season for her. I seriously don't need another reason to hate myself and that would definitely be it.

Still there are moments of bitchy sunshine. Literally and figuratively. The rain has cleared for today and tomorrow thankfully, the sun is out. I had the sheer joy of waking my husband (sleeping off a hangover on the couch this morning) by blaring "Miracle on 34th Street" on the television and banging about the kitchen as loudly as possible and my oldest teenager is my slave for the day currently scrubbing pans in the kitchen and getting ready to vacuum. Revenge is not best served cold, my friends, revenge is watching someone else clean your house on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas, bitches! My sincerest wish is for a far merrier Christmas for us all next year.

Friday Bitch #10

Category : , , , , , , , , , , ,

This week I want to grab my husband by his ears and yell in his face. "Seriously? Does everything in this household have to revolve around you and your dick? How about a little fucking sympathy for someone not feeling good. A headache, and a bad tooth are not all about your penis! A little honey-can-I-get-you-something is so much better than rolling your eyes and muttering guess-tonight-is-a-no" I'm sick of it.





My ex-husband (it was finalized this week baby! If I had the money, I'd get drunk in my honor) just can't let shit go. He and his new "baby" are cyberskulking (it's not stalking, as they're not out and out trying to get into my accounts, but I know they're lurking around the corners, just like menstrual cramps and sneaky farts)


She is worse than him. Every time I post to Twitter or FaceBook or Google Buzz, she's dissecting what I said to make it pertain to her.

I want to splash all over the 'web, "Dear Crotch of Doom, I do not give a damn that you are dating my ex husband! I left him first, you can have him! Enjoy him! I hope he pees on you!" Okay, that last bit is a little much, but it's totally true. I also hope they drive one another to drink and their livers give out in rapid and painful ways.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, I'm going to do the Dance of Joy and toast their misfortune.



Gah. Why do I have to NAG constantly to get people to do a little cleaning? Why do they need a list in front of them every thanking day as a reminder? Vacuuming happens. LOADING YOUR DISHES INTO THE DISHWASHER happens.

DUST happens. Yesterday, I noticed that someone had drawn in the dust around the remote control. Nice. I know it’s dusty but why do you feel the need to point it out? Couldn’t you have swiped the whole tabletop with your paw after you were done doodling?

I like how everyone can watch movies on demand and television shows for hours on the Netflix account that I so lovingly pointed them towards and can’t find the gumption to run the vacuum or feather duster.

Husband is going to be gone this weekend and I have to work. But I plan on making getting the house “company clean” in my spare time and designing and laminating a permanent chore chart for everyone.

Okay, after reading this I feel like I should point one nice thing out - the boys came home from school yesterday and decorated the house for Christmas. Put up and decorated the tree and set up all of the little holiday themed things.

And Husband just called and invited me to lunch and was in a nice mood. Cool beans. Though a the black-hearted part of me thinks he's being nice so I don't do anything too fun while he's gone. Good grief, I was born a sneaky bitch.



 
I guess husbands (ex or current) are on the shit list this week, hmm, ladies? I'm right there with you. I'm tired of being the one to resolve the issues. I'm tired of being the first one to step up and try to smooth over a rough patch. I'm not doing it anymore. He acted like a complete dick last night pissed everyone off and this morning is acting like nothing happened. Yeah, he kissed me before he went to work - but that's hardly an "I'm sorry about last night." which would have been better than nothing at all.

Friday Bitch: 9th Edition

Category : , , ,

I'd like to bitch about the cruel hand of fate or the bitter bite of shit that is irony. Specifically, the fact that when cancer couldn't quite take my kid, it decided to take my cat. I'm sorry... I know, railing against cancer is so stylish it's almost out of style. While I should probably post some ribbon in some gastronomic distress causing hue... I've got nothing but a multi-colored cat hair on my nightgown and an extra eerie quiet in my house that will never again be obliterated by the same voice.

Excuse me, I need another martini.


People, I’m bitchless. I know some of you all have had totally a craptastic week and I can’t find anything to bitch about in light of that.
I drank a metric ton of coffee yesterday and I still can't think this morning. Or blink. And I have a killer headache. This feels kind of weird to not be pissed about something....maybe I should drink coffee in obscene amounts more often.

I’m sure I’ll be full of bitchy goodness soon.




I am now without bitch. I had the usual stupid people at work bitch, but that's "usual".

I just got a peek at my savings account this morning, the one where I stuff every single red cent that isn't marked for a bill (or shipping, as this is the holiday season), because I'm going to be moving across the country yet again before the infamous 2012 rolls around.


I have almost $600 in there. Which might not sound like much to you. But when my paychecks are less than $300/week, and my rent alone is a week and half's worth of work, I was fucking thrilled.

I might have had a small orgasm when I saw that number.


Every bitch I had right then died on my lips because that is a gift horse that I will not look in the mouth.


(And every thing I've got to bitch about is nothing compared to losing a beloved pet. This one belongs to Charlotte.)


Charlotte does indeed win this weeks Bitch. Nothing can top loosing a beloved pet. I had a bitch all lined up to, but my issue seems petty compared to the hurt of my friend.

So instead I am going to stand arm in arm with my fellow bitches and rail at the Fates who snipped the life thread of a sweet cat who did not deserve to go so soon.

Thanksgiving Bitch Edition

Category : , , , , , , , , , , , ,



I am so friggen thankful this week is over! I spent the better part of 2 weeks before with a miserable pain in the ass of a broken tooth. I finally got a temp on it Tuesday, so I had to spend Wednesday playing catch up for all the crap that I let go or overlooked while I was hurting and hopped up on delicious prescription drugs.


Is it to much to ask that when mom is down and out for the rest of the family to step up and perform a little? Why must every little chore be so damn hard to get them to do? Just because I am a stay at home mom does not mean that I am the only one capable of doing any work around here! And offering to order pizza or telling the kids to pick up is not "helping". Trust me.


So, no, I am not going to brave the crowds and go Black Friday shopping, dear.



I am thankful that I didn't freak out (visibly) on my family during this week. I'm way bent out of shape over the self-entitled exwife and the way that the holiday "visitation" with the boys is going. But, with the help of venting to friends, venting to my mother and liberal doses of happy pills - I made it. Maybe Husband got to feel the full force of my wrathful yelling a few times since the exwife isn't handily around to verbally abuse.

This morning before the boys went to their mother's for dinner? They had a full Thanksgiving meal for breakfast. They were also allowed to stay up as late as they wanted the past two nights since they're out of school for the holiday. They were a wee bit cranky and full when we dropped them off. (insert evil chuckle here) If she didn't want them fed - then she should have drove her happy ass to our house to get them!

Now I have a whole month to get myself good and lathered up over Christmas! Wheeee! *whimper*





I spent this week in a state of stress over work. Nothing makes working in a food supply store as fun as anal sex as the week before Thanksgiving. Not even Christmas is as bad, because Christmas is about gifts and greed, while Thanksgiving is all about the food.

I loved having people, who had been in the store six times already, ask me where the cranberry sauce was. Or where the milk was. Or where the Whipped Cream was. It's all the same place it was thirty fucking minutes ago, douchenozzle, and the same place where every goddamn store keeps perishable items like milk and Whipped Cream.

I was more than happy to lock the doors at closing time the day before Thanksgiving, smiling as I twisted the key in the lock, shrugging my shoulders at the people pulling up to the door because, of course, I'll postpone going home to help YOU because you didn't make a list of things needed for your family gathering. I don't care that you need the Green Man brand of corn/green beans/broccoli, use the cheap versions you bought and deal with the fall out.

I spent my day shoveling snow, and pretending I was happy to spend the holiday alone. Truthfully, I was damn pissy about it. I spent the day in my pajamas (which is always something that cheers me up) with a long list of Ghost Hunter episodes I had DVR'd and a stack of new books from the library.

I didn't read. I didn't watch the shows. What time I didn't spend shoveling, I spent in bed, lamenting about moving to the wrong side of the country in my journey from Married to Newly Divorced.

I didn't cry, which is a source of pride, as my period also came today. When my period shows up, I cry over coffee commercials (you know the one, where the son comes home Christmas and manages to surprise his entire family? Que Niagra Falls) and start looking at Dove chocolate like Jenna Jameson looked at an erect penis.

(By the way, girls, how the bloody fuck could we NOT have a 'chocolate' tag? I fixed it.)





I love having a Friday bitch especially the day after a family holiday. You know you are supposed to focus on the warm, fuzzy feelings and the good times and memories and shit but in the back of your head you have some bitches milling about that you feel would be completely inappropriate to air. 

At least I have Friday bitch session. I was up Wednesday until almost 2am prepping a ham, duck, and turkey for Thanksgiving so my husband could drop it into the deep pit, put the lid on and go to bed. He spent Wednesday evening around the deep pit burning down logs into a fat bed of coals while drinking beer with his buddies. It's a tradition and I wholeheartedly support him because I know how much he loves it. What I don't love is when I get called out at midnight to help prep all the meat and wrap it in foil.

I was up Thanksgiving morning at 7am cooking. His royal highness stayed in bed until 11am when I woke him up to get ready to go to my dad's house for Thanksgiving. We came home around 2pm and he promptly started nagging at me for the apple pie I made that morning that was meant for dessert AFTER DINNER - the dinner I had been up since 7am prepping for. Then he fell asleep and slept until almost 6pm. While he napped I finished up cooking and cleaned the kitchen. Thank God for my oldest daughter because she is always right there next to me helping out in the trenches without a single sigh, whine, or complaint.

After dinner I started cleaning up the kitchen and actually had to ask my husband to help out. I finally made my way upstairs leaving my son, three cousins, one friend, and one of the cousin's two buddies from the marine corp. in the family room with my husband. Did I take a long hot shower and climb into bed? Nope, I started doing laundry and cleaning the bedroom. At one point I left the bedroom to switch over a load of laundry and returned to find my husband plopped on the bed changing the channel from the show I was watching because I "don't own the television or the bedroom!" and complaining about the channel being changed is "shitty and just picking an argument."

Drop warm fuzzies into the toilet and flush. Rinse/Repeat.

This morning I'm adding my bitch here at 10am - and his royal highness is still up in bed asleep. Must be fucking nice. If I hear ONE slight HINT about how "tired" he is I'll fucking jab his eye out with a rusty spoon.
