Things that GOT my GOAT this weeeek 12.30.10

So it is THURSDAY which meanssss.....it is time for.....

AND thissss weeeekkkk:

• My NEW doctor classifying my two losses (resulting in a D&C and D&E) were "sporadic abortion"....LISTEN Bword....that might be the "term" that you will use...BUT don't use ABORTION in the same sentence as "oh..so this was NOT your first pregnancy, did you have any complications before and this is why you had the issues" to someone who had been trying for many years, cried many tears, and never ever wanted to "abort" any babies... (to me this hit hard, I wanted all of my babies...and she should have been a little more classy and had better bedside manners and I don't know..READ MY DAMN CHART) (I mean no offense to those who have had abortions...I was just mad at the doctor because in this situation I planned all three of these pregnancies)
• My gosh darn hand...I am finally at the end of the five stages of grief with my hand (I went through Denial...when I didn't think I needed surgery....I was angry...I still kinda am....I bargained...I basically begged the doctor to give me the green light and NOT have surgery...I even may have told him that I would love him forever..Definetly hit depression about my hand...I look and feel frumpy..I can NOT use my right hand for god sakes...anddddd now I think I am accepting it...).  I am accepting that this will take 5 more weeks...that I will pay a million dollars to move my right pinky again.  That I may need a second surgery to remove the scar tissue and some other medical term items from my fingers (including tendon...sheath...blahblah didn't listen)....
• BAD friggggen drivers....I know I always moan about this...but today....I went to the mall...and literally SAT for almost 25 minutes trying to get OUT of the parking lot.  SERIOUSLY?  And to find out...it was allll because of those mall cops waiving their littttle flashlights... AND THEN sat in traffic because someone decided that 65 was WAYYY to fast....and that 45 seemed just right!

And that's it! :)  Had enough Bword for the week?? Come back next Thursday....andddd maybe link up with her!!


XOXO,

Things that GOT my GOAT this weeeek

Veronica over at Crunchy VT Mommy has this wonderful Thursday link up....

Things that got my goat....

• My husband.  I love him.  But he so annoyed me.  I honestly don't know why, but he did...I have been really mean to him...and again...for no reason...so what the heck to do I do? I keep on being a bitch! LOL!  Oh well...we will figure it out!
• BAD friggen drivers...seriously...I was almost ran off the road a handful of times.  People just kept driving at me...I LITERALLY had to dodge cars.  And it would not be so bad...but the baby is usually in the car with me.  And it makes me very nervous.
• Really bad actors/actresses...I don't watch Vampire Diaries...but I flipped past it this week...and I heard them say: "If I say that I can't do this anymore....it secretly means I love you"...it made me want to vomit!  Seriously....VOMIT!  Again, I love my husband...and it has been a long time
• My OT hurt my hand this week.  And told me that I was doing great with my hand being in the damn cast for the past 5 1/2 weeks.  I wanted to hit her.  This cast sucks.  AND then she continued to tell me that this cast was because the doctor doesn't trust his patients...thanks..
• The woman at the surgeons office was a bitch.  I wish I yelled at her.  And I should have...she treated me like I was 7 years old when I acted surprised that I needed another x-ray...seeing as though you can not see ripped tendons on an x-ray....soooo I don't know why I need one....hence the surprised reaction...bitch...
• Hospital billing departments/Insurance companies....I have had a baby...been high-risk with many ultrasounds, tests....and had hand surgery..so I hit my OUT of pocket maximum this year.....and I am so sick of dealing with the damn billing departments....DO YOUR JOB RIGHT so I DON'T have to! Thanks!

Phewwww....I feel better! :)


XOXO,

Dear husband,

{so I am not one of those girls who will lie and say how perfect my husband is, because he's not. He is real, our relationship is real, and we both have faults}

I love you...but I don't like the fact that....

• You have anxiety if the dishwasher is running and I wasn't able to fit in that one bowl in the sink.  I am a professional dishwasher filler {not really but if it was an olympic challenge...I'd get the gold}...but sometimes things just don't fit.
• You vacuum...now I love that you do...but EVERYDAY in EVERY SINGLE ROOM..come on...I NEVER use the extra bedroom...lets be like everyone else and ONLY vacuum that room when people are coming over...(yes, as I type this your vacuuming the bathroom rugs...that I just pulled out of the dryer...ughhhh).
• You think I can read your mind!  Now, sometimes I can...really...and I can always read your body language...but honestly...I can NOT read minds...or we'd be a lot wealthier...just saying.
• Your family can joke about everything...and say "just kidding" and it makes it A-OK...Uhhh NOPE...

Love your Wife....

:)
