Whiny Wednesday

January 29, 2014

Whiny_WednesdayLast week I was checking out the stats on this blog and noticed a series of periodic spikes in visitors. When I dug a little deeper, I discovered that each spike coincided with Whiny Wednesday! I guess we all need a place to gripe now and then.

So, again, it’s Whiny Wednesday. If you have something on your mind, please share it here. I promise you, you won’t be alone!

    Ok its not uber recent but I dont think I gripped about it earlier.
    I have a new boyfriend. First time in 17 years. And I left my husband only a few weeks before my very good friend became my boyfriend. He is 50 and has 2 adult girls who are in university. But when I visited my grandfather, his longtime girlfriend was all eager and pulled me aside and said I could hurry up and get Pregnant. I was shocked and flabberghasted. I explained that no I wouldnt because a) he has had a vascectomy b) my health SUCKS! I have an autoimmune arthrititis that I got in part from my father’s genes. So I dont feel like passing that on to a child and I physically dont have a good environment for a baby. I am on so much medication hardly ideal environment to toss a baby into. Most days I dont wake well. I wake up in such pain. So thats my whinbe. Family that doesnt get it. I am done and over. No kids for me but im fine with it.

    Ugh my pregnant sister came to visit me at work today and my co-worker totally hijacked the conversation and turned it into an OBGYN review and who she had for each of her 3 kids (when she knows how much I struggle with baby talk and how completely out of place I feel when people talk about their cookie doctors!)
