My hot water heater gave up last night. It waited until after business hours to ensure we had no hot water until the following day.
Cold showers make me very whiny.
It’s Whiny Wednesday; what’s your gripe this week?

A woman asked me the other day if I had children. I politely answered “no, I would have given anything to have an entire house full of children but years ago my hubby and I had to make the painful decision to close that door due to multiple complications with my conditions where now we have weekly help just so I can function with everyday tasks ” Do you know what her answer was????……….(sit for this one)…… “Yeah, I know what you mean. God ONLY blessed me with ONE…I get it.” YOU ‘GET IT’??? ARE YOU KIDDING ME???!!! (deep sigh). Unreal….and now I’m officially done whining….until next Wednesday (lol).

On a related note, my dishwasher is broken. The bracket for the top rack has been broken for a long time and it causes the left side of the rack to fall off every time you pull it out. My husband declared he will not reset it anymore so we bought a new dishwasher this weekend. We decided to get a Bosch and my choices were the model on sale or the newest model that was $300 more. The on sale model had a “child safety lock” written on the front of the dishwasher and it bothered me. I buy everything on sale but for the first time ever I paid more just to make myself happier, and my husband was so glad I did. Just wanted to share.
I was invited to a baby shower. I don’t want to call the RSVP number with regrets because I don’t want to have to explain why it is so painful to go.
Aunt Flo is visiting — and brought along Cousin Cold Sore for company. :p I’m getting close to 53 years old; you would think they would take the hint & am-scray :p but AF is just as regular as ever. My cycle was even 28 days this time, which very rarely ever happens — usually up to a week longer. Am I finally getting regular in my old age??
And everyone around me at work is sick right now with colds/flu. I am off next week and I do NOT want to spend my vacation being sick!!! Bring on the Purell & Lysol wipes…!
I know I am a day late, but yesterday was so crazy, I did not even have time to vent.
I live in Quebec, home of the one-year maternity leave and 7$ a day child-care, with the very long waiting list. When I found out I was pregnant 3 years ago, I put my name on the waiting list. I had a miscarriage and was never pregnant again, even after 3 iVFs. Fast forward to 2013, I receive a call from the day-care telling with great joy that they now have a place for my baby. That was brutal. Even more so, when the girl on the phone insisted to know why I was not interested. I did not feel like explaining myself to a complete stranger so I just hang up the phone without answering.
Just when I think I am getting better at dealing with not having children this sort of thing come out of nowhere and hit me in the face. This phone call brought back so many things of the way my life could have been, it really hurt.
ugh, brutal, horrible. my heart goes out to you.
I am so sorry. And just because the call upset you doesn’t mean you Aren’t getting better about dealing with not having children . You are ALLOWED to be upset and still be getting better about dealing with not having children. Please Please be gentle with yourself
