    Venting!

    Actually Change, I can be needy too (not often), but I hate it when I do it.
    It just tells me that I am not feeling too hot......

      ohmegod. so so much to catch up on-- and heck, i did not go to bed till 1:00 a.m. last night (ok- for the picky ones, this morning)-- no, as a matter of fact, i am not working at the moment otherwise how could i spend so much time here? (oh, unless you consider taking care of a handful of under-10-year olds and two people's gardens and writing my memoirs and -- oh never mind)

      ANYWAY--I'm lost on the different nuances on SLAPS (will pick that up later) but what (and forgive me, i am not in your US gang) what oh what an IHOP? (I'm really trying here, y'know).

        An IHOP is an International House of Pancakes restaurant.

          oh thank you! (but don't think it is so international, is it?)

            The PANCAKES are supposed to be international (but they're really not).:H It's not an international restaurant.

            Nothing beat the old Bickford's Pancake House that was down the street when I was a little girl. They REALLY had international pancakes--different recipes from all over the world.

              but what IS an international pancake?

              (whoops, I guess this is a bit off the thread...?)

                  I hate the fact that I lose control
                  I hate the look in my son's eyes when I open a beer
                  I hate that I am struggling
                  I hate that I feel like I am losing at this rat race

                      Hello Fellow Ventors (is that even a word, oh well it is now)

                      I am at work right now and I didn't get a chance to read all the messages, however, I read one from Accountable and Amelia, that hits home for me. Here is my vent...

                      1) I hate the fact because of my drinking, it has made me insecure about myself.

                      2) I hate the fact that I too, don't have the balls to tell my boyfriend how it is and just keep allowing him to treat my feelings like an "outstanding bill" :upset:

                      3) I hate the fact that my family is so dysfunctional and I will never ever have that family union I have longed for.

                      That is all I can think of for now, however, I am grateful for one thing, which really kind of helps with my "hates" and that is I am sober

                      Thanks for reading my vents and I look forward to reading more of your vents......


                      Big hugs,
                      Janet

                        I hate the fact that I inherited this diseas, from a man who never showed me any love.
                        I hate the fact that my mother never showed me any love.
                        I hate the fact that it is killing my brother and he can't see it.
                        I hate the fact that I feel so ashamed of what I am.
                        I hate the fact that I spent so long drinking, when my kids were small.
                        I hate the fact that I feel I don't deserve their love, given to me in abundance.
                        I love the fact that I am managing to turn my life around with mwo friends.
                        Thank you so much, each and everyone. Love Paula.x

                            Christ...don't even get me started..
                            I've purposly stayed away from this thread, because I know when the dam breaks it's not gonna be pretty!
                            It's damn close!...

                            OK, I'll vent a bit. I feel like I have no bussiness even wasting time & energy on it.. but maybe if I put it in print...

                            I work my A$$ off... waiting on people hand & foot... I pay 1/2 the mortgage... & more than 1/2 of the bills ect...I'm not a neat freak, ( we have 3 dogs & a cat...) one of the dogs weighs about as much as I do, but eats a LOT more.. We inherited him from my In-laws.. He's a real sweetie. But, my dog eats 1cup of food a day,..plus milk bones. The other 2 dogs we have, eat about 3-4 cups each...
                            Who do you think gets to feed all of them... and buy all of the dog chow... as well as vaccuum...a whole bunch of hair...

                            I get home from work tonight... after a VERY busy night, of bustin my A$$...
                            I find 1/2 a pizza left out on the counter(which I bought, frozen... for when we forget to grab something @ the store...), we live a bit outa the way...
                            Also, there's beer cans, dirty plates, etc...( I left that kitchen clean...we both work)I feel like a friggin maid!

                            I just finished running my butt off for the better part of 7 hours... and cleaning up a trashed restaurant... with nothing to eat... I was lucky to get to pee @ 9:14! And then I still got grief from the kitchen,..because I had an order sit for a minute or 2!

                            God I sound like a bitch...
                            Hopefully if I get this out now I can be nice @ the reunion/B-day party tomorrow...


                            Gee... maybe a B-day card or flowers... anything but empty beer cans & dirty dishes...Some Men just don't get it..!(sorry guys... I know you're not all like that)...

                            Thanks ... I'm done now.

                                Hi Saint Jude,

                                Why don't you try something my sister did a few years ago.

                                When we first moved out of home, we shared a house together and i was a SLOB. I never cleaned the bathroom, the shower, anything. But my sister used to, because she didn't like living in a mess. I took this for granted.

                                One day my sister decided to go on strike and not clean. She didn't tell anyone, she simply withdrew her 'services'. I didn't notice for a few weeks, but then one day, all of a sudden, i noticed that the BATHROOM WAS SO DAMNED MESSY AND DIRTY that i could no longer stand it. I huffed and puffed and ended up cleaning it myself.

                                The moral of the story: if you don't do anything, they may end up doing it.
                                One day at a time.. Sometimes it's one minute or one second at a time.. Most important thing is to look ahead and don't look back!
