This is just what I needed today. I feel like I'm gonna kill (figuratively, not literally) my little brother. I sent him to the store today with $20 for stuff that should not have costed more than $10 and he came back with less than $4 of change. THen when I asked him what happened to the rest of my money he stodd up and lied to my face. This is just after he got in trouble for lying just last night. He's already on punishment for like the rest of the year cause his lying almost got my mom into a physical confrontation and here he is lying again the very next day!! GRRRRR, I don't know what my family is going to do about that boy. He needs to go to military school or something like that.

Oh Shawna! Thank you so much for this one!

Okay...work is great (I love my job and my new VP is amazing)...social life is fantastic (in fact I just won tickets to two concerts for the weekend and have a good friend coming for a visit), my gripe is about men. Men suck. Well, at least the one I've been dating does!

A year ago I met my current luvah and I like him, I really do, but with the exception of one thing...he has this terrible habit of getting trapped under a heavy rock and is incapable of returning a telephone call. The Twit works in the oil industry and is often on the road for a month or so at a time...thus I don't really call him my boyfriend because a) I'm 33 and the term boyfriend gives me nasty flashbacks to highschool and b) our relationship isn't THAT serious yet, we are still trying to get to know each other.

But back to my rant. This past weekend he came back in town for a week - we spent a WONDERFUL Saturday and Sunday together...I really began to think this is a really good thing. We parted Sunday night with a kiss and a promise to go for dinner and a movie Monday night. Well, I gave him a quick call Monday morning just to say hi and see what he was up to but I got his voicemail (he only has a cellphone as he's on the road so much). It's now Wednesday night and do you think he's called me back? NOOOOOOOOOOOO! The dinner and movie didn't happen and he is supposed to leave to go back on the road for TWO MONTHS tomorrow. What's worse, is that this isn't the first time it's happened! I can't believe I fell for it again.

My pride won't let me call him again...but my anger wants to throttle him and demand an apology. How bloody disrespectful?!!

The creep.

Cheers

Lisa

Now here's a post I REALLY need today!

The kids are driving me nuts!I have them 24/7 and the 11 year old wants to be strangled(I'd say I can't wait for school to start,but then I'll have to listen to the teachers calling telling me he isn't doing homework and he behaves poorly...lovely)..or so I think with his attitude and the 2 year old has finally learned how to climb out of his crib,and will he sleep now....NO!And that also means no naps and one crabby baby =/ And what does hubby do?!He comes home,eats and goes into the basement to play Everquest....and then tells me that he's going out Friday with some IT geeks(err...friends)and will be home late.Gee,thanks....more time with JUST the kids.Could I go out with friends...sure,if I had some(ok,I lie,I have one...but she no longer wants to go out,unless it's to the bars with her hubby...oh joy,drinking!)So where can one go to meet some adults by myself???Who knows because by the time hubby comes home and we eat,it's already 7pm =( I thought perhaps Curves,it's right by my house...within walking distance,BUT,they close at 7pm,and even if I did join,on the nights that hubby has to work late(which is rarely lately until they have to upgrade again)then I feel like I'm wasting money!Sometimes I just want to run away =/

This is a great thread, Shawna!!! Hi fellow gripers!

I have two major gripes. Both of them are my fault. 1) I'm the world's biggest prograstinator. I want to organize two closets and one large bookshelf in my house like since July, but I keep saying to myself "Self, I'll get to it tomorrow". And, of course, tomorrow never comes. 2) I keep on snacking on things that I know are not good for me. I have my sugar under control right now. But, I need to keep it that way and frankly, I'm not trying hard enough. My doctor has allowed me to have snacks within reason, but I have a tendency to overdo it. I'm so angry at myself for making unhealthy food choices.

Hey Kerstin,

Congrats on quitting your job!! If it's what's right for you, then it's right!

You said it's really hot where you are. Where are you?? I think Tarzan has melted on my front porch... all that's left is a damp spot and a little bitty loincloth...

Greetings from Hell,,,I mean Tucson!!

First of all what a great thread this is!!! Shawna, I quit smoking when I was 31 or 32, don't exactly remember. It did take a few years to really lose the urge for a smoke, especially if I was having a beer!! But last June was 21 years and I doubt if I will ever smoke another cigarette!! Let me tell you tho, I gained 35 pounds right of the bat when I quit.

Up until recently I was working 2 jobs. Well finally quit one of them, the one where I cooked in bar. It took me out of the house 2 nights a week, which by the way I really did enjoy!! BUT, I was so tired all the time that I never got anything done around the house and it really did screw up my whole routine of things. I finally did get my house pretty clean yesterday.

The rant!!! So tired of playing with the same 5 pounds. Up 5, down 5 and so on. When I lose the 5 why can't I keep on. It's like a little game I play with my mind. Lose the 5 and eat what I want til I gain it back and lose it again!! What is up with that??? I still need to lose 50 more pounds!!!

The weather!! We have had the crappest summer, cept the week we spent in the "outer banks" The leaves are already changing and we still haven't had a summer. Oh well thats OHIO!!

I could go on and on about things that are pissing me off right now but I don't think I will. The weight is the most important. :-)Stephanie 280/225/170 still
