Frustration......or is it Hormones?

Lately I've just been extra irritable, or is it that my bullshit tolerance has hit an all time low? Not sure, I mean some chuck it up to hormones, but whatever it is, I'm just annoyed in general.

#1 on my list of annoyances today are people who cannot accept what they are, I mean, if you're overweight, underweight, lazy, happy, sad or whatever, just suck it up and deal with it. Don't delete pictures that make you "look fat", chances are, it's a reality check...... Don't blame your stress on other people, and please don 't compare yourself to others...you are you, and that's what makes you special. Everyone should embrace what they are, I mean, everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is perfect....believe me, I should know.

# 2 for today is Fear.....I hate living in fear, fear of losing my family, my house or my baby....being in financial hardship while acting like nothing is wrong is stressful. Being on 1 income with 3 kids and 1 on the way makes you re-think priorities, and some people just don't get it. There are things we can no longer do, and priorities that need to be shifted, but these things seem so foreign to others, that they look at you like you're crazy!
I hate knowing that if I don 't go back to work by next year the latest we might lose the house. I want stability for my kids, and moving is not the way to go.
I hate the thought that something might go wrong with this pregnancy. After all we've been through, I just need everything to be OK, I need my baby girl, my rainbow baby to be healthy and well.....if something goes wrong, I have no idea how I will ever be able to handle it.

#3 is lack of commitment....not on our part, but all around us. Davide and I have been together for 12 years, and yes we've had some ups and downs but we're talkers, and we've always compromised and talked through everything, and we have always had a very trusting and strong relationship, and it makes me so sad when I see other relationships fall apart. Friends with kids breaking up without much notice, just seems selfish, like they just don't try...I don't get it....and hope I'm never in this situation, it just makes me want to hold on to my hubby extra tight. He is my strength.
and of course since I could go on for days, today I will stop with 4.

#4 is lack or consideration for other people. People who expect you to shift everything in your life to accommodate them. I'm not going to go into details, but when something was already happening, and then something new that involves you comes about, does not mean that I can rearrange my world to make your life easier... I mean there are instances where I will gladly do that, if I feel that it is my choice, but do not expect me to put myself second because you think you are more important than me. That's just rude.

Ok here's my Tuesday vent. Please take it with a grain of salt. I'm just a pregnant woman suffering from severe lack of sleep, and I just needed to get some things off my chest in writing...
If you have a problem. Have a drink on me....wish I could join you!

That's what we're here for. And about the whole hormone thing, I think there is some of that, but there is also just a clarifying of priorities and rediscovering what is really important when you're pregnant. So get out all you need to.

Vent away girlie!! Letting it out keeps it from building up inside.

Remember, fear not is mentioned some thousands of times in one form or another in the Bible....

Thanks for the comments on the tutu!

I can totally relate on the acting like nothing is wrong while the bank account dwindles! We cleaned what little money we had out for the freakin' dog because he ate something that made him sick for days! UGH. I'm sure glad 1 of my kids likes rice and beans cuz that's what we're eating tomorrow!
