I love my son more than life itself. He has a wisdom tooth that needs attention. He is also 19 years old. (I was 19 when I had mine taken out too) and he is having problems with this one. He needs to see a dentist, but he is afraid of missing a moment of school. (He is in a technical program and can't miss a minute he believes). The tooth may need antibiotics, extraction, other? I don't know. He needs me to come tomorrow. I have stuff I have to do at home as I worked all weekend. I also have to get my mother ready to go away (drama). When I got my wisdom teeth taken out I had to have extra stitches put in the next day, I got a blood clot, dry socket, huge doses of antibiotics, morphine etc. It was a disaster. (I did see the worst oral surgeon in town I found out so I shouldn't be surprised).
I am worried about my son, and he never (ever) asks anything of me. He wants me to come. I can't go. I just can't. I don't want to desert him when he needs me, though. He is my baby still (a big baby). I am so torn. My parents say they can go see him but just for Tuesday and Wednesday. (Taking time off work is impossible for me...I remember the last time I did when I threw up at work...not going to happen).
Yeah, I am pretty distressed right now. I want to make everyone happy and right now NO ONE is happy.

It's hard when we can't be in ten places at one time. What does he need you to do for him tomorrow? Is it possible to get up earlier or go to bed later and get your things done so you can be there for him? Can he come to you?

Maybe you could arrange for someone to bring him by some soft foods. I hope he doesn't have any complications. Mine were impacted but still I was complication free. |

I know I vent about my DD quite a bit but Lord have mercy, she is a pill at times. We actually had a good time at the movies last night and at a Super Bowl party today. However, I came home and fell asleep and she said I was snoring so loudly she could hear me in her room. She pounded on the wall for me to stop, waking me up at 11:30 in the process. Good thing she did in a weird way, since I found out that she hadn't turned the iron all the way off (she thought she had) and it was face-down on the ironing board which was warm to the touch. I never turn it off on the rare occasion that I use it, I just unplug it. I also discovered the candle in the bathroom was still burning. That makes me nervous since we've already had a house fire (she lit in when she took a bath). Now it's 12:45 a.m. and I'm still awake and have to be up at 5 for work. Lovely. Other vent Dear family, for the love of God, please turn lights off before going to bed. Why am I the only one that cares about this?  |

Your son knows you love him, and he will be okay. Maybe you could call him before & after the appointment if you can't go with him.
My vent:
People at work who use e-cigs, and just walk all through the building, stinking it up with strawberry-watermelon or whatever "flavor" they are using.
Just because it is not a lit cig, I still don't like the smell of it. And I don't know exactly what chemicals are in them, or what the long term effects could be (they're still relatively new)
And since the manager does it, everyone feels free to do it. It just screams unprofessional to me.

Everyone has the right to call in sick - you send me a text at 6:00 a.m. to tell me you can't get out of your apartment complex because of the weather so you are going to take a sick day. We did not get the crazy 12 inches the weatherman called for, just a dusting. I offer to pick you up because it is on my way, you tell me I SAID I WAS SICK (yes it was in all caps. OK, the other person in the front office is already out today so since you aren't coming in either that triples my work today. Poor me, I know but don't tell me you can't get out of the parking lot - I drove past your apartment and your car was clean and so was the lot. So Don't make up stupid lies, just call in sick if you just want a day off. Thank goodness it is the end of the day!

Neighbor, I didn't shovel the sidewalk in front of your house for you. I did it so my kids won't have to walk in the street or wade through 16 inches of snow because you and your husband are too lazy to shovel and cheap to hire someone. They have to walk in front of your house to get to the bus stop. Clear your damn sidewalk. Same goes to you, neighbor on the other side. And the assholes down the street - clear the area around the fire hydrant! I'd go do it but it's buried so I'm not entirely sure where it's at (not in front of my house, that's for sure).

Dearest cat: I love that you are such a snuggler, and are in my lap or bed anytime I get still for just a moment. But why, for the love of all that is holy, must you bathe yourself so often? You are an indoor cat in a clean house. There is no way you are as dirty as you think you are. The sound and movement of your constant bathing drives me nuts! And I have never had a cat who bathed themselves so much that it left the fur wet, you little weirdo!  (Seriously, if he is within reach, I will often place my hand around his neck to stop him from bathing so much. ) |

They are meticulous, you know. They have to be beautiful for you to admire at all times. |

My dear friend, I am so glad you are joining me for a weekend of scrappy fun. I am even happy to have your sister join us. IF she's actually joining us, that is. We are leaving in 2 days. Arrangements need to be made. I've already asked you twice. How about letting me know if she's coming or not?!!

I invite you for a virtually free weekend away. I only have room for a certain number of people. Don't wait until a couple days before that you can't make it, when I can no longer invite someone else. If it's such a big deal for your company, I'm sure you had some idea about it before today. You are off the list. That is all.

DH went through all his tests last week so he can be admitted to the hospital Thursday for a new treatment. I have arranged my work schedule around this. He came down with a cold last night! NO!!!!!!!!!!!
He hasn't had a cold in ten years. Now we will have to reschedule everything if he doesn't miraculously beat it by tomorrow.

They sneakily start back up the moment I'm not looking though. |

sharlag my dogs will do nothing on command. They won't sit, come, stay or anything. They won't even come to eat if it doesn't suit them. Your dogs are smart. Mine are supposed to be smart but they were pampered too much from puppies and thus are too stubborn to do anything asked of them. Mine will come for a bone though. Even the old girl who is 99% deaf will hear the word bone and will come for it and try to take it out of your hand. (not viciously, just to make sure you are really going to give it to her). Chewing is a contact sport. Juicy chewing just grosses me out and it happens at 11:30 pm every night before I fall asleep. Nothing stops that. I am working with Benadryl though hoping that takes some of the need to chew and scratch away.

Also, I don't have particularly obedient dogs, but oddly enough they stop licking/chewing if I say "NO". To me, it means they don't feel itchy, they're just doing it recreationally. |

Dear co-worker, you need PLAN B. Why do you think you are entitled to stay home whenever your kids don't have school. We live in MI, there will be days where school is canceled due to snow or cold. What do you do with these kids in the summer.
Dear Boss, you need to grow a pair and put a stop to the nonsense.

M's doctor you starting to piss me off to no ends. He just got out of the hospital and never call to check on him or stopped by. Now Trying to get fallow up care that the hospital said to and you can not get him in. Your staff lies to me and say they will call me back no call. So I call back 24 hour latter and still nothing on your end. He is only 19 months old get his ass in. Even if you need to stay 20 minutes late. It is not that hard. Hell he is not even sick anymore just need to see you. or cut your launch short by 10 minutes..

I lost my sunglasses in the WaWa this afternoon.......this after a woman in CVS had to ask me if I left them on the counter there (I did).
I only went in to get coffee.......got my coffee, added cream, got a lid and went to the checkout. All I took in with me was my wallet........and my sunglasses.
Got into my car and realized I didn't have the sunglasses. Guy at counter hadn't seen them. They weren't near the coffee, and the girl filling the urns hadn't seen them.
What the ?
I'm sad because they were a wonderful gift from my kids 2 Christmases ago..........my first Ray-Bans.......and now I feel like a sh*t because I didn't take good care of them. I know they're just a thing........but I hate myself just the same.........

You are off the list. That is all. I hate that. I've had it happen to me. the one time I had to bail on a girls weekend was when my son had to have his appendix removed. I paid my 3rd of the condo and gas anyway and they found a 3rd who got a free weekend on me but I felt it was my responsibility to pay my 3rd. Actually it had already been paid. The girl who went offered to pay me but I knew money was tight for her. It was why she wasn't going in the 1st place. I hate people who ditch. My vent: Dear neighbor when you take your dog out late at night please put him on a leash. You yelling his name repeatedly because he runs off at midnight wakes up my daughter who's window is in the front. Sound travels and even if she is 13 she needs her sleep for school. When you wake her up it takes her forever to fall back asleep. My husband has talked to you 3 times. Our next step is to call the HOA and file a formal complaint. The rule is no disturbances after 10 pm on weeknights. |

I've been trying to find a new gastroenterologist forever. I finally get an appointment and have to reschedule because dh has a work emergency. I totally understand. Dh's company is laying people off, and his boss has been really great about letting him take time off for appointments.
So my mom insists that she'll take me. Schedule anytime she says. I want to take you to appointments--this is the reason I wanted y'all to come back to NC.
This happened on Monday. I called first thing to reschedule because of the emergency. The staff is so kind and understanding and work me in for Tues morning.
I believed my mom like a big dummy when she said she was free all week. I talk to her Monday night.
Nope, not free. She grooms this dog every month. The guy is retired, and she could reschedule. She doesn't even offer.
I'm done. Dh was so mad he couldn't see straight. He already felt horrible that he couldn't take me on Monday. He really wants to go anyway because he wants to understand what's going on.
So I rescheduled for next Monday afternoon so dh can take me. I'm not going to rely on my mom anymore.
It's not like this was an appointment for something minor. I'm feeling weaker and more ill, not to mention the fact that I'm in such pain. The stress is also not good for me.
My mom is the mayor of Denial. She doesn't want to deal with the reality that I have a disease that is usually fatal within 10-15 years. I'm on year 9 now. I just wish she'd stop trying to convince me that she really wants to help. She just wants others to think that she does.
I should have double checked. I feel so stupid for believing her. I know better.
I think having dh go with me will probably be best. My mom would have wanted to go in to see the doctor with me, and she probably would have gotten hysterical when I asked the doctor how much damage my pancreas has and how many years he thinks I have left.

I hate traveling for doctors appointments in winter. Back in 1997 we left the big city to settle in a smaller town. Loved it. Now it's just a pain in the ass. Winter driving is so unpredictable.
