Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

Did we really just adopt another cat? Exciting but also scary.

You sit and chat about the large $$ amount you are throwing at one of your children. This offspring gets cars, rent, cash and your attention at a moments notice. You reprimand the other kid for not being available 24/7 to attend to whatever crisis their sib manufactures. You do this while having dinner with your other child and their future spouse. I’ve tried to excuse this type of behavior for months. I understand there were difficulties with the ‘beloved’ child and this affects family dynamics. But really folks, I just don’t like you. And guess what - we will just ‘adopt’ this other kid of yours as one of ours. So Pfffth…Grrrrr. Idiots.

Eek…not another blizzard…

Guess we now know what is really going on.
Wonder if you will have the guts to talk about it. Betting not.
Pretty much know how you will spin this.

Let this assignment go well. And let me not have to be there much.

I hate carnivals and no I do not want to help watch kids at the carnival!(of course i only say it in my head)
if you want to take your kids out and need help let’s go to the movies or get ice cream.

Who in their right mind would approve regular Maintanence on the computer system for 8 hours on the day that housing registration and choice is opened for hundreds of sophomores eagerly trying to plan for next year ?SMH.

Son got a second interview for internship! Keeping fingers crossed.

Yes, dear church treasurer, I did forget to fill out and return a form that you handed to me two weeks ago. But if you had picked up your phone and called to remind me none of us would have had to be embarrassed this morning when I walked in while you were ranting about it to all who could hear. Which meant a lot of people.

And threatening to withhold my paycheck was a real treat. Seriously, did you need to ask our member who is a tax collector if that was legal - not her area of expertise! And then leaving immediately after worship when I’d promised to fetch it from my car was cute too.

I left it between your house doors because I didn’t trust myself to restrain my temper.

Did you want the paper or was it more satisfactory to try to humiliate the pastor?

How do you not understand that a computer given to you for interim use while yours is in the shop is not actually your computer? How do you clear its data off without even asking if it was needed?!? HOW?!?

Man, dealing with personal grief really does show the true colors of those around you.

Thanks [insert “top” university’s name] alumni interviewers for laughing and discussing shallow, purely money-focused topics while I am sitting right next to you sobbing because my brother was in a terrible accident and I did not know if he was going to be okay.

If you claim to volunteer your time for the students, please, be considerate of their feelings. Some people are so emotionally dumb.

Last full day in Hawaii, and I have a fight with the sidewalk and the sidewalk wins. Trip to ER went OK, but no kayaking trip for us tomorrow, and we have to find something to do until our late night flight. Nothong is broken, but ribs hurt, a lot, hand is swollen, and foot is sore. It was a stupid “operator error” on a sidewalk that wasn’t quite level. The 13 hour flight home will not be fun. Thanks for listening to me whine.

I’ve asked you and asked you, for nearly a month, to get me that one line item I need for tax stuff. I have spent hours working on this stuff 2-3-4 weeks ago. Now you finally get it to me, but yours is incomplete, I need to access the file drawers, that are now behind tons of stuff I stacked there just this weekend in preparation for a project. Really? Really? You could not have gotten me this info even late last week so I could access the files before blocking them. Or told me you did not have updated numbers?
Oh, but I am being so good, I am not snarking to your face, because, why? What good would that do? But, oh man, I am having a struggle not to be really B****y about it. You have been waiting and waiting until you could sit down with “all the tax stuff” but the document you gave me is from 5 years ago on your computer, you could have gotten that any time, it has nothing to do with your ‘tax stuff’ X( X( X(
I resent that I have been waiting several weeks to submit to the accountant when i wanted it in early, waiting on your one piece of info and now it’s not even complete. Argh!

Dear Canada, I’m envious.

You are parochial.

There were several girls that I knew middle schools that I tried to find but failed because…THEY LOOK SAME AFTER PLASTIC SURGERIES!!!

Oh boy. Our country has become a haven of Barby dolls.

Oh my, poor Duke. I bet they try to hide from your resume.

I know your getting that offer is bittersweet. It would be great if you could take it, great to have you so close. But this other offer is going to make your financial future significantly better. You’ve got to take it.

So it’s shaping up to be an interesting day…

Don’t tell me to “count my blessings.” I’m going to be as upset about this as I want to be, for as long as I want to be and I’ll “count my blessings” if and when I’m damned good and ready. You’re not suffering through this - I am and I’m sick of it.
