Super Vent

So, I've never "vented" on my blog before- I've really tried to focus on sharing the positive. Yes there are the "frustrations" sprinkled here and there but never a full out vent. But the truth is right now it feels like one thing after another and I don't even have time to catch my breath before the next thing hits the fan! AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! I'm gonna add a GRAWRRRRR!!! for good measure. My calling is STILL frustrating, going to church in general is frustrating and while it's mighty tempting to just give up there has got to be a light at the end of the tunnel right? I keep waiting for a low stress calling but now I'm not sure they exist. I remember the good old singles ward as a Sunday school teacher- I LOVED IT!! I really really really miss teaching gospel doctrine and I know now that I spend most of church chasing around Jonathan it's not all that practical to have a Sunday calling but it's not impossible right? David and I could switch off right? I don't know, but I can honestly say that out of all the callings I've had- teaching gospel doctrine was my favorite. Primary was fun, and I LOVE the people I served with but I'll be honest the younger primary wore me out and to be fair, I was pregnant at the time.
I think administrative callings must be the most difficult- the more adults I have to work with or contact or be a "go-between" for the harder my calling is. I'm so ready to be released. I really think I need a break. I think being a visiting teaching supervisor person has burned me out. I gave it everything I promise I really did try- but I don't think I've got anything left to give.
On top of that- while I'm SO EXCITED to be a mom- again- I'm SO OVER being such a picky eater- I promise I don't do it on purpose. Last night was the last straw. I wanted to make David dinner because I knew he'd be getting back late and he requested spaghetti and I know it mostly my own fault because I told him these days I get hungry but NOTHING sounds good so it's really hard for me to make a menu and I told him if he wants something he's going to have to let me know what my lunch. He did his part- but I didn't want it and I didn't know what else to eat so all through dinner I'm sitting there watching him eat yummy yummy spaghetti which I usually love and I'm getting hungrier and hungrier and angrier and angrier and the poor hubs, it's not his fault. After snacking on some string cheese I give up, do the dishes, rifle through the fridge and pantry and burst into tears (this is of course the reader's digest version where I completely skim the tantrum of slamming cupboards). It's just not fair. I have to eat right? So why does nothing in my house look even slightly appealing?! I promise, I really tried, I tried carrots, oat meal-I couldn't take more than one bite. I didn't even want chocolate milk! Last night was rough.
And today I got a medical bill- for at least one test I DIDN'T EVEN GET- WHAT!?! That's just CRAZY!!!! They said my United Health Care didn't cover it and I DON'T EVEN HAVE UNITED HEALTH so WHAT THE HECK ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT!
So I've spent at least an hour on the phone today- in fact, I'm on hold right now.
I'm sure it'll all get sorted out but it's really just "one more thing" to drive me crazy.
Another thing, I should never be allowed to drive while I'm pregnant because other drivers just make me angry.
I think it all boils down to me being an angry pregnant woman because I'm hungry and clementines, while the only food I consider delicious right now, are NOT filling.

Hopefully getting all this down will help me feel better. If not, I promise to NEVER vent on my blog again.

  1. oh, i'm so sorry! i hate that feeling of starving while being surrounded by food. it's so hard to explain to someone who is not experiencing it, too.

    and medical billing is THE WORST! and after your other story about jonjon's blood being taken... ugh. the worst. nobody wants to help, they just want to run you around until you give up and give them money. :( i hope things start looking up!
