Went into work Saturday so a fellow social worker didn't have to drive in inclement weather from a long distance... made a decision to call the director regarding another department. My boss calls me the next day and attempts to chew me a new one for making her "look incompetent."

Lately the Temps have been crazy cold and well below zero with wind chill. My auto start does not work when my engine light is on and for the last year it has been on more often than not. I know, first world problems right, but it's a feature I have and want to use dammit. The dealership keeps giving me the run around, they'll claim it's fixed, I'll get it home and the damn light comes back on. I can't take it elsewhere due to the warranty and this last time I paid 155 bucks to fix something they claimed wasn't under warranty but upon reading through it last night, it should have been covered. They also tried to charge me for an oil change despite them being covered!

I would complain to the maker of your car. If people are having issues with a dealership that is supposed to be marketing their vehicle they'll want to know about it.
Also some warranties have approved vendors that are outside of the dealership. Maybe see if you have that option?

H and I continue to have conversations about DS1 and his sensory issues and what my thoughts/ideas/plans are. With each conversation it starts out feeling like he and I are not at all on the same page. After much discussion we end where I am confident that we're back on the same page. Rinse repeat.
I'm finding it really difficult to stay out of this weeks twd thread before I've watched it, I have some willpower it seems though, because I want to look, but I haven't.

I'm pretty sure my office is the only one open downtown today and I'm 100% sure we are only office open in our builing. Also, the Starbucks down the street is closed. I called this morning to ask if they were open, someone answered so I excitedly asked if they were in fact open. She laughed and said "no, we are just cleaning." THEN WHY DID YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?!?!?!

We had the twins' birthday party this weekend. I didn't have high expectations for it and sadly even those weren't met. My parents brought my nieces down with them for a couple of days and all the kids were so excited which is nice to see, but they (along w/DS1) were destroying my house. My Dad just parked himself on the couch the whole time so he was useless and my mom was trying to reign in the big kids, so we had no help getting anything ready but the extra work of more kids.
Then DH's grandma decided she was coming last-minute. Now, on one hand it's good for her to come because we don't know how much time she really has left. On the other, she hadn't been on our radar for people needing a bed in our house so we had to scramble to find places for everyone to sleep.
The whole day just got stressful for me. I was not able to eat lunch because I was feeding babies. Then they started getting fussy so I had to get their cakes ready, take pictures, coordinate clean up, and help open presents. Family was useless and not helpful, even when asked.
DH and I were determined to go out by ourselves since the adults matched the kids in numbers and they should have been able to handle it. I wrote out instructions for the babies since they haven't been left w/grandparents since May. Come home to find out DH never mentioned instructions to his parents and they completely took over from my mom, who did know but was busy w/other kids. Not a huge deal, everyone survived, but I think it was stressful on the babies because they weren't fed as much as usual and my IL's are just not good at reading babies in general. I also came home to find Owen smothered with a huge, heavy fleece blanket in his crib. He was already wearing fleece pj's in a 75 degree house, poor guy. This just supported my stance that they will not watch our kids until they are much older.
I'm pretty sure my office is the only one open downtown today and I'm 100% sure we are only office open in our builing. Also, the Starbucks down the street is closed. I called this morning to ask if they were open, someone answered so I excitedly asked if they were in fact open. She laughed and said "no, we are just cleaning." THEN WHY DID YOU ANSWER THE PHONE?!?!?!
They likely answered out of habit or because they have to. We don't have caller ID on the phones at my store, so sometimes one of the people at the corporate office calls before we open, employees call in sick, delivery drivers call, etc. I hate answering the phone and having it be a customer before we open/after we close.
student loans are killing me and I don't know what I want to do with my career. that is all.
ETA: it's just one of those days where you go online and see all your loan balances and the overwhelming-ness of it just completely deflates you and you don't know how you'll ever overcome it.
and I like my job fine but it's not a forever job (eventually my bosses will retire and I'm not going to run my own office) and Idk what I want to do at that point....hopefully everything falls into place. I'm at that point in my life where I'd like to be at my forever job but I'm not. it sucks.
also, DH is on shiftwork and was hoping to get on the day shift for the summer (for the first time in years) but the bosses at his place didn't like the 3 new employees so they didn't get hired and DH might be stuck on shift. sucks so bad...I never see him

kimberpoo I feel you. I graduated with a lot of student loans ... And I don't know what my forever job is either. I feel like I'm paying to be stuck in limbo & I kind of want to go back to school for some thing but I don't know what & I won't go while I'm still paying for the first round. Also a few of the things I'm interested in require unpaid internships...so quitting my job & not collecting a paycheck ...and paying to do so... That's going to take a lot of financial preparedness if I go that route which means not any time soon.

My contact ripped over the weekend and I'm not positive if half came out or if it's stuck in my eye somehow. All I know is that half the time I cannot see very well, it's like it's not focused and occasionally I can get a clear sight. I'm so frustrated and the eye Dr cannot get me in until Wednesday.

Not all babies f'in crawl DH! LO has figured out how to get herself around by pulling/scooting quite well. Stop insisting she has to learn at some point because chances are she will skip it entirely and just f'in walk. She screams when you make her try. Stop it.

We have been doing the army crawl for about a month now & she is really quick at it. My mom said I never crawled so I'm guessing DD won't either since she would rather do it that way.

Sorry that's all I got to bitch about ATM
Stay Strong.
I have stayed strong but I will be watching the last 2 episodes tonight and then I will join the discussion.

People who constantly FB message and post on my wall their GoFundMe site. I'm sorry but I feel like you begging for $10,000 while getting insurance from the federal government is very greedy. Yes I feel sorry (slightly) for your family and your daughters stupidity/wanting to be a Good Samaritan in the middle of the night and what happened to her, but don't beg me for money when you and your family have 5x as much as my husband and I do. Especially when you know we are living paycheck to paycheck and struggling between pay checks. Then call me a stuck up bitch for not helping your family out.
I seriously hate GoFundMe and have found that most people who are using it just want everyone else to give them money so they don't have any worries in life.
Note: I know that there are some people who could really benefit from GoFundMe but not this family.
Another 22" on top of the 4 feet+ of snow that we already had this past weekend. My dogs are now officially going to have to go the bathroom in our driveway until spring since we can't get to the backyard. I have never hated winter more in my life. Beyond. DONE.
