Strange when a doctor tells your husband, “I’m so relieved - it’s definitely Lyme.” He went on to say that it’s treatable since they caught it early and it was better than the alternatives they investigated.
I hate my job. How can three people be so incompetent? And why do I have to fix all of your screw-ups? Can’t wait til I can retire.
Somebody probably should have called to let me know the party was cancelled tonight before I went to the store and picked up my snack contribution. Geesh. Glad I called to see what time it was starting.
I hope I have enough life in me to see you graduate college.
yes, please continue to brag about how you’re NHS president…it’s like you don’t do any of the work and just exist to stand there and look pretty. I, a mere community service chair, am not getting the credit I deserve and you know it.
Don’t worry I am fine. I sometimes take on too much and by Friday evenings I am over tired. Sometimes I just need a good night’s sleep to catch up for the week. I have to remind myself to take breaks and tell myself that it is going to be ok if everything isn’t done. Just need to eat and sleep properly and take things one at a time. Need to schedule a vacation. I work myself to death sometimes to the point my heart is racing and my body starts shaking. I need to do a better job taking care of me.

Are you kidding me??
You and I are strangers-- we have no relationship on this site or in real life.
But at 3:30 pm today, you PM me with 3 essays that I’m supposed to edit by midnight tomorrow?? And it’s urgent, because the EA deadline is Monday???
And I’m supposed to-- what?? Drop all my own work, ignore the aches and pains from the 10 miles I probably walked today at Open House and all the school work and mom work-- my answer keys for this week, the NHS stuff awaiting my attention, tomorrow’s food shopping and time with my family-- because you waited until the very last minute to write a draft of three essays you want to submit EA??
Lack of preparation on your part does NOT constitute an emergency on my part.
You’re on you own, sweetheart.
Rinse and repeat.
Your freaking dogs have been barking off and on for hours! Are you even home?!
You say the swamp aka our backyard aka your chainsaw playground is your “jurisdiction”? LOL, fine by me, Mr. Shrek. 
My name is Princess Fiona then, and I rule this house. I can pick any inside remodel project I wish you say? DEAL. 
So tired of the times that decide to be “the man”.
You actually have no idea how to accomplish this in your relationships.
And you! your family has been so privileged for so long that you are
unaware and unable to have normal dialogue.
And to you. I am going to Hate and Love what your future is bringing,
I sincerely hope it allows you time in your life to grow up.
Hey parking valet: when you get a tip from the driver you are also supposed to open the passenger’s door, especially when they are hobbling with an air cast.
Ugh, midterms.
Stop. I would like to get off.
Sadly not as upset about the potential of it not working out as I was - trying hard to keep that rock out of my wagon.
You should not have to diminish your own accomplishment because some else did not get accepted.
Yes of course you know better, since you have no children of your own that my son should’nt go to college because you feel he would’nt be successful there. That because you’re a part time teacher you know know all.
I hope my favorite brother’s surgery (risky) goes well, and he gets the outcome we are all hoping for.
My senior hasn’t picked up her cello in 2 weeks. Don’t want to pressure her as I know she plays every day at school also has huge academic pressures and college applications to do-but dang those auditions are coming up. My sophomore with anxiety-every time the phone rings during the school day I steel myself up to convince her to go back to class. Thankfully today when she called it was to tell me she got an a+ on her oral presentation but also she packed her snack in her Dads backpack instead of hers. We shared a laugh and she went back to class…small victories.
It’s not a difficult concept. If you’d like to hear from someone again, don’t get angry when they call you because they don’t call you enough. Don’t criticize their siblings or parents or partners every time you talk. Don’t tell them how superior their cousins are, for whatever reason. Or not … but then don’t sit around feeling wounded because they don’t want to be in touch.
