I don’t know if it’s the weather, my depression, the fact that I can’t get enough sleep or something else that’s been causing my crabby mood lately but for the last few weeks, everyone and everything has been getting on my nerves.
Here’s a sample:
The cell phone service in my house. It sucks a fat one. I have to get a landline now because #paranoid. I’m so afraid something is going to happen to me or the child and no one will be able to get in touch with me that I have to add this unnecessary service to my life. So now, when anyone asks you if you know anyone who still has a landline you can say you do because Verizon Wireless can’t get its shit together and work properly where I live.
Doctors. I’ve been going to a doctor to deal with some lady problems and this one ordered a test to check my Vitamin D level. It’s low. Really low. So low I’m on a prescription to bring it up to something even remotely reasonable. I’m livid that, after years of telling my primary doctor about some problems, she never bothered to order this test and if she had, I might not have some of the issues I do. I want to bring the test results into her office, wave them in her face and impolitely scream, “I told you something was wrong, bitch!”
My daughter’s cheer coach. Good grief, this woman causes more drama than an episode of Chicago Fire if the cast of Mean Girls showed up. I cringe whenever I see her and if her emails didn’t contain drips of important information, I’d delete them and pretend I never saw them. She has no business being around little kids like, at all, ever, and I cannot wait until March when this season is over.
The guy from the insurance company who showed up unannounced to take pictures of my house with no authorization from either me or my husband. Dude, you just don’t do that. And telling me the dog is cute does not make up for the fact that you are basically a creeper.
TV. Why are all the good shows ending this year? I don’t have the patience to scope out new shows for the ones that don’t suck and then commit.
People who don’t text or email back but post on social media. There should be a special prison for them.
Writer’s block. Specifically with blog posts. I have dozens of ideas, with many of them outlined, but when I sit down to write, they turn to shit. That’s how this post happened. It started as a rant on the pressure moms (and women, but specifically moms) have to be hot and perfect and then it started to make no sense. Maybe we’ll try again for Friday.
My dog. He needs to stop eating my child’s toys. Also my child needs to do a better job of picking up her toys so said dog does not eat them. It’s a vicious cycle.
The announcement that NKOTB will be on tour with TLC and Nelly. I don’t understand this pairing. My brain doesn’t know which of my past age groups should be excited. The middle schooler? The high schooler? The college student? #waytooconfused Oh, and it’s in the round. Because of course it is.
Anyone who puts me in a FB group that sells a product and doesn’t ask my permission first. Let me be clear: you’re all my enemies now.
What are you guys cranky about?

You are the second young person I know who has a bad vitamin deficiency. The other person had such low B-12, she needs shots.
I have been an avid vitamin person for years. More attention needs to be paid to simple things like that. Goddess speed to your crankiness to leave. I am trying to say to myself control what you can control in regard to politics,womens’ rights,especially healthwise- the state of many things-aging parents, economy, health, etc. It’s a challenge, that’s for sure. Putting more positive energy and light out to the universe as much as possible.
Goddess speed to all of us. I am going to carpe diem today as much as possible. Extra lights and angels to all commmuters due to the impending snow!
Love,SMD’s Momma

I had a vitamin D deficiency and they finally figured it out a few years ago. The difference the supplements make is HUGE. I was dizzy and almost falling down, I was convinced I had a brain tumor.

I’m just chronically tired. As in, no matter how much sleep I get, it’s never enough. And apparently it’s linked to depression which explains a lot as well. I’m hoping the supplements help. I just want to feel better.
Kerry says
You know your body better than anyone don’t let a Doctor tell you nothing is wrong when you know there is, that would make me cranky too. What a creep, insurance people shouldn’t be out unless of a claim and still they need to schedule!

I really need a new doctor. The one I have is horrible. She doesn’t deserve to have patients.
Mackenzie says
I thought my eyes were deceiving me about that tour. I had to re-read that part twice. That is the most bizarre headlining tour I’ve ever heard of. Just, no… On another note, I hope you start to feel better soon! XO 🙂

Ugh I HATE when people add me to FB groups like that.
And yes, I hate how some of my favorite shows are ending too: Parenting and The Mentalist being two 🙁

You so need a new dr girl!!! I had this problem, I went to several doctors and no one really could give me answers. My current dr ran a blood test to check for several things after listening to me and guess what, everything he thought was going on was proven in the blood test. I am vit D and vit B deficient and I had a thyroid problem. All of that causes a person to be chronically tired, a little lost/hazey in the brain department, and a few other symptoms I had. Why dont most drs listen to the patients? We usually tell you exactly what is wrong!!!
Like this asshole I had that I went to because I KNEW I had pneumonia. I have had it before and was mis-diagnosed and wound up in the ER because of it so I freaking know what it feels like. He told me I didn’t, gave me some cold medicine and sent me on my way. Guess where I ended up three days later? Full blown pneumonia.Again.
Sorry, dr shit makes me rage. Obviously.

Jenniemarie @ Another Housewife says
My Vitamin D levels were extremely low last year and side effects mimic depression. Except when you already have depression, yeah you’re pretty much screwed because it intensifies. It took my six months of a high dose prescription to get them back to “normal” levels. And hello, I live in the land of the sun! I hope you get to feeling better soon.
And a huge AMEN to the people who add me to those types of FB groups!!!

Man it must be something about this month. I have been feeling like that ALL month. I think sometimes life ebbs and flows that way, but I’m ready for an upswing, and I hope you get that too! My latest thing is I dumped half a bottle of PB2, which is expensive, all over the kitchen. I was so pissed, I threw the bottle across the room. Oh I got quasi-fired from coaching volleyball and dicked over by someone. Breathe….

I hate that you have to push doctors to really help you these days. I’ve had problems with my foot for almost a year and was referred to an orthopedist. She taught me how to wrap it in tape and call it a day. I did that for four months with no relief and finally told my doctor I wanted a podiatrist. I’ve been seeing him for two months and finally on the mend. Why wasn’t that her first choice? So annoying. I bet you’ll be feeling so much better with Vitamin D supplements!
I’m totally going to NKOTB/TLC/Nelly! It’s elementary, middle school, and college for me. I’ve been to all the New Kids comeback shows, when they’ve brought along Lady Gaga, BSB and 98 Degreees and it’s always a blast.
