I’m Tired
Yesterday, I went to my personal blog to vent for a bit. I had no intention of keeping my words so after I deleted the text, I thought I was done.
But I wasn’t.
I accidentally saved the the title and published it. I had no idea what I had done until I received comment from djinn. Thinking it would be fun (and therapeutic), I rattled off a quick list of things I was tired of and it seems to be a popular thread.
Here’s my original list:
I’m tired of fox news.
I’m tired of trying to have a civil conversation with folks that don’t want to hear the truth (because reality has a well known liberal bias)
I’m tired of the financial crisis.
I’m tired of narrow minded religious folk.
I’m tired of the pain in my neck and shoulders.
but most of off all I’m tired of spinning my wheels.
I’m thinking many of you might have a laundry list of items to rid yourself of too. It’s been a long election, the economy is in the toilet, and many of us are just getting by.
Please share and have fun.
*there’s no need to take issue with my list, it was just a quick accounting of my frustrations for the day. thanks.
mfranti, what truths have a well known liberal bias? Just curious.
Comment by steve-o — October 29, 2008 @ 11:23 am
that should have read “reality”, not “truth” and it’s a famous Stephen Colbert line from the White House Correspondents Dinner.
You remember, when he laid his (man parts) on the table to roast the president and press?

#2 haha
I am tired of wanting to buy a house but having NO way of doing it. It’s the best time to buy a house with prices being so low and I have seen the cutest perfect house to start our family in (cheap, very cheap. You would be angry if you knew how cheap then you would look at me and say, “you really can’t afford that!?”). It’s hard to save up a down payment when we are trying so hard to get out of debt and if you saw how little debt we actually had you would say, “Really!? You can’t just get that last little bit out of the way”. And I would cry and so, “No”. ARGG Money! Curse You!

ok, that was haha to the original #2… it changed.

steve-o,
All of them. Duh!
Comment by Dan — October 29, 2008 @ 11:41 am
I am tired of trunk or treat. Bleh.
Comment by wistfulblue — October 29, 2008 @ 11:47 am
Just last night I told my husband that I was tired of being so poor. It’s exhausting.

Comment by Amy — October 29, 2008 @ 11:49 am
This could be a long list but I’ll try to keep it short:
*I’m tired of hearing about Prop 8 in church (I live in California and it’s ENDLESS)
*I’m tired of the 3-hour meeting block
*I’m tired of putting gas in my car
*I’m tired of getting two kids to school every morning
*I’m tired of hearing political spin every morning on The Today Show
*I’m tired of helping my third grader with homework 2+ hours every night
*I’m tired of the missionaries dropping by unexpectedly
*I’m tired of being tired
Comment by Lulubelle — October 29, 2008 @ 11:49 am
is trunk or treat a mormon phenom? I had never heard of it until i joined the church.
talk about a buzz kill for kids.
Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 11:49 am
What a great idea for a thread. Sometimes we just need to vent a bit.
I’m tired of people at church pitying me for being single.
I’m tired of other people at church judging me for being single.
I’m tired of the seemingly eternal construction at my apartment complex.
I’m tired of my roommate’s kitten climbing all over me when I’m trying to study.
I’m tired of being tired all the time.
Comment by Keri Brooks — October 29, 2008 @ 12:00 pm
Must be. I’d never heard of it until I moved to Utah. I can’t remember it ever being done in CA.
Comment by steve-o — October 29, 2008 @ 12:01 pm
Trunk or treat is definitely a Mormon thing. I lived in Texas all my life but never heard of it until I joined the Church. I was raised Baptist and they had this gosh-awful thing called Hallelujah Night on Halloween because, you know, Halloween is the “Devil’s Holiday”.
We live in Cali now and trunk or treat is alive and well. And blah.
Comment by Jill — October 29, 2008 @ 12:17 pm
It’s done in my neck of the CA woods.
Comment by Peter LLC — October 29, 2008 @ 12:18 pm
Posted too soon. Sorry bout that.
i’m tired of being sick with a head cold that won’t quit.
i’m tired of the CA heat - it is almost November. i want chilly temps!!
i’m tired of dealing with depression.
i’m tired of my husband’s incessant need to talk everything out. sometimes, i just want to be ticked off at you in PEACE and QUIET.
i’m tired of having a bad attitude towards my husband for his obviously much healthier way of dealing with our occasional marital conflict.
i’m tired of my husband continuing to accept jobs that are so wholly beneath him, for the sake of keeping up financially afloat.
i’m tired of my neighbor’s annoying, yappy, smelly dogs.
i’m tired of fighting with my insurance company over claims from april.
i’m tired of being overweight.
I should stop. It’s alarming how easy it would be to keep going.
Comment by Jill — October 29, 2008 @ 12:23 pm
We trunk or treated in CA too. We’re doing it tonight in AZ — that way the kids will be able to go Friday as well because they surely won’t have enough candy…
Comment by Geoff J — October 29, 2008 @ 12:27 pm
mfranti, I saw that! Why did you delete?
Watch, it’s a blog glitch and I’ll look stupid in a few minutes.
Just add it to my “i’m tired” list.
Comment by Jill — October 29, 2008 @ 12:31 pm
The original explanation I heard for trunk-or-treating was as a “safer” replacement for trick-or-treating. Except, in all the wards I’ve been in that end up doing it, it becomes an addition to the trick-or-treating, seeing as how we’ve never lived in any even vaguely dangerous areas.
I am tired of not enjoying nursing.
I am tired of it being 90 degrees outside on average.
I am tired of the dry desert air.
I am tired of waking up to get my 6mo. son back to sleep 3-5 times every single night.
I am tired of him crying every single time I put him in his crib.
I am tired of teething, and of the accompanying cold that got me, too.
I am tired of big appliances that work well enough that we won’t get new ones, but not as well as I’d like them to.
I am tired of my constant desire for dessert.

Comment by marta — October 29, 2008 @ 12:39 pm
I’m kinda tired of following God’s plan for me. Maybe it’s leading somewhere good, but at the moment it *seriously* blows.
I’m tired of feeling judged in church for not supported Prop8.
I’m tired of arguing about Prop8.
I’m tired of self-righteous members shoving Prop8 down my throat.
I’m tired of school.
I’m tired of not knowing what comes next or when that next is coming.
I’m tired of cooking for 1.
Comment by Andee — October 29, 2008 @ 12:44 pm
hate to say it but this is my favorite one so far. I think I’ve felt that before-at least a teeny bit.
Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 12:46 pm
I am tired of my plantar fasciitis
I am tired of my marital separation status
I am tired of hearing about Prop 8 and I don’t even live in Utah or California
I am tired of my extra twenty lbs.
Damn that feels good. You should do this more often.
Comment by Cyclingred — October 29, 2008 @ 12:48 pm
I totally agree!
Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 12:52 pm
Oh, I have to agree with tired of this weather. In So Calif it’s still pushing 90+-degrees and I am so tired of wearing my summer clothes. I’m even tired of seeing my kids in their summer clothes.
And I’m tired of feeling like a 2nd class citizen in church because I have a career, work fulltime, and send my youngest kid to fulltime pre school. I’m tired that people in church naturally assume that I’m a SAHM, ask my husband what he does for a living, and never ask me. Hey, I want to share, too!
Comment by Lulubelle — October 29, 2008 @ 1:07 pm

- diet and exercise

mfranti,
Buck up. Obama is about to win in a landslide and the liberal bias of reality will be reflected by the liberal control of all branches of government.
Comment by Jacob J — October 29, 2008 @ 1:38 pm
Trunk or treat? Started here in the elementary schools. Then the churches started doing it. Everybody in the name of making Halloween safer for children.
Comment by jan — October 29, 2008 @ 1:41 pm
jacobj,
what? what does that have to do with this thread? we should take this to my blog but remember that the same people that are bitching about dem control are the same folks that voted for W in 04.
please, please, please, take it to my personal blog if you want to discuss politics further-but not here.
Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 1:44 pm
I’m tired of spreadsheets and paperwork but happy that the annual Organic Certification audit is over for another year.
I’m tired of cooking and being nice but relieved that the 8 house guests have finally pulled out of the drive.
I’m tired of shoveling sh** but glad the chickenhouse is clean again.
I’m tired of stacking firewood but pleased to see the wood stacked high in the shed.
I’m tired of the grease gun leaking all over me, but proud that all the farm impelements are put way correctly for winter.
I’m tired of sweeping cobwebs from the front room but comforted that I’m too blind to see any I might have missed.
I’m tired of wrasseling hay bales into the tractor cart for the cattle, but so happy I still can.
I’m tired of ‘just calling 30 Ohio voters” for Obama but sooo excited that over 12 million early votes are already in.
Cheer up girls. A new day is dawning.
Comment by Betty Jo — October 29, 2008 @ 1:47 pm
I’m tired of explaining to people that my voice is hoarse because I damaged my vocal chords last spring, not because I have a cold–and yes, it might be permanent condition.
I’m tired of the hyper kid in my daughter’s class that won’t shut up and settle down, so the rest of the class can learn.
I’m tired of my allergies to our cat.
I’m tired of taking Excedrin everyday for headaches, even though it’s my own fault I got addicted to it.
Cyclingred, I’m also tired of my plantar fasciitis! Ouchie!
I’m tired of the fact I make barely minimum wage and I have a college degree.

Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 1:56 pm
Oh Rondell, I love it how much dog follows me from room to room! But then again, I don’t have kids yet, I hear they do the same thing:)
I think trunk or treat is fairly universal now, my Baptist co-worker was talking about how they’ve been doing it for years. But I agree, its not nearly as fun as going door to door.
Comment by Roxanna — October 29, 2008 @ 1:59 pm
At this time am so “not” tired of my job-And sooooo glad I have it.
Comment by Cyclingred — October 29, 2008 @ 2:07 pm
Hooray I want to make a list…and yesterday it would’ve been better
I’m SO tired of my dog pooping on the floor.
I’m tired of politics. Period.
I’m tired of city politicians doing whatever they want instead of actually representing the people. Re-open our fire station, damnit.
I’m tired of my pants fitting tight even though I work out five times a week.
I’m tired of not having a couch. Maybe Christmas money will bring relief.
I’m tired of always being hungry.
And like everyone else, I’m tired of feeling tired.
Oh, and #40, I’m also so glad to have a job. It’s a scary time right now.
Comment by VirtualM — October 29, 2008 @ 2:18 pm
Hearing about Prop 8!
It reminds me of the year it was the pioneer centenial (or some important year) and ALL year long we talked about the pioneers. I was SICK of pioneers.
I am sick of Prop 8 too, really do we have to talk about it ALL The time?
Comment by Sheridan — October 29, 2008 @ 2:19 pm
-I’m tired of the people in the ward continually thinking it’s OK to judge me because I should be *fill in blank here* because my husband is the bishop (heck I should just say I’m tired of my husband being the bishop because I could make 1781787 lists of things stemming from that!)
-I’m tired of people assuming they know how I think politically because I’m LDS..and then when I do say something them telling me I’m evil/wrong/misguided whatever
-I’m tired of wishing we never left Chicago and moved to UT
-I’m just tired! …oh to sleep!
Comment by Melissa — October 29, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
I’m tired of prop 8 on both sides of the issue
I’m tired of people whining that they are marginalized because people don’t share their (the correct one obviously) opinion on what is what is not Christlike or the proper political affiliation or stance on prop 8
I’m tired of wasting all my time in a financial statement audit on issues I think are ancillary to the important issues to financial statement users
I’m tired of both politcal candidates
I’m tired of constantly having to motivate myself to do anything worthwhile
I’m not tired of carving pumpkins. that’s a blast!
I’m not tired of my kids
I’m not tired of college football
Comment by anon — October 29, 2008 @ 2:29 pm
I remember being really tired of student loans- my heart goes out to you all that still have them.
As far as Plantar Faciitis is concerned, I had that for a long time and it was a nightmare. A year and a half ago, I was swimming with family, and my niece challenged me to do a flip off the diving board. My heel was hurting, but my pride made me take the challenge. When I went for the downstroke on the diving board, I felt a snap in my fascia and, even though I completed the flip marvelously, my foot was in extreme pain due to the tear in my fascia.
I went to the doctor, and when we looked at the x-ray, the doctor remarked that the fascia had torn in just the right area; the diving board accident had basically accomplished what would the doctors would have done if I had gone in for surgery. Sure enough, my fascia healed right, and I have not had problems since.
Sorry about the threadjack; I just want to express my solidarity with you PF sufferers…
Comment by Dan Ellsworth — October 29, 2008 @ 2:30 pm
I’m tired of my kids doing the opposite of what I tell them to do.

I’m tired of friends who smile and pretend to love you, but obviously harbor ill feelings towards you in their minds.
I’m tired of hearing about my grandmother getting sicker and sicker.
I’m sick of the wound I got from a recent bike wreck that just won’t scab over.
I’m tired of my husband not having health care, and always wondering what on earth we’d do if something actually happened.
Thank for the therapy.

I like Betty Jo’s.
And the others as well. I agree, sometimes good ol’ vent session really helps.
But I agree that it’s good to recognize the good stuff that comes along with it.
Sooooo…
I’m tired of my job, but I’m grateful for the money I’ve made so we can have a down payment for a house.
I’m tired of my schoolkids crawling all over me and driving me crazy, but I’m grateful for the random hugs, kisses and “I love yous” throughout the day. Third graders are fun.
I’m tired in general from my first trimester pregnancy, but I’m grateful for the chance I have after many years and trials to finally be having a healthy pregnancy.
I’m tired of not knowing what’s going on with the financing for the condo we’re trying to buy - but I’m thrilled to be getting a place of our own, finally.
I’m tired of my mom hating me and not speaking to me, but I’m grateful that I undersand why, finally, what borderline personality is and how I can make different choices in my own life.
Comment by Chris — October 29, 2008 @ 2:52 pm
I’m tired of my allergies and the allergy medicine that barely makes a dent.
I’m tired of classmates - in a class in which we are graded on our online discussions - who are utterly incapable of using correct English punctuation, spelling, grammar, etc., and sure, we all make mistakes, but when there is an edit function, use it. This is a class, not blogging. (Just in case I have an error here!)
I’m tired of those who think you are intelligent because you don’t agree with their take on an assigned book. Particularly if those people are the same ones who cannot, oh, I don’t know, conjugate English (their first language) correctly.
I’m tired of worrying that the election might be stolen.
I’m tired of being nice to telemarketers because I’m a receptionist and I don’t want to make the mistake of yelling at someone who really was a legitimate customer. I want to say, “Wow, I’m sorry that you have a really crappy job, but quit with pretending because I’m not letting you talk to my boss.”
I’m tired of my dad having cancer but since it’s an incurable kind, I don’t really mean that.
I’m tired of marital discord and not knowing what I’m doing about it.

I’m tired of feeling way over-committed/over-obligated.
I’m tired of drama at work.
I’m tired of not wanting to cook for myself.
I’m tired of people treating each other horribly.
I’m not tired of…kisses from the 7 dogs we live with. Having a wonderful partner. Warm weather on the Gulf Coast. Bike riding. Star Wars marathons. The homeless community I work with (but ask me tomorrow. Heh). Praying. The awesome John Bell cd I just bought myself. Church (but ask me again next week). And I never get tired of listening to my Michael Franti CDs!
Thanks, mfranti. That feels a little bit better.
Comment by Leah — October 29, 2008 @ 3:02 pm
Gotta get in on this one!
I’m tired of…
* homework, mine and my kids since it seems like I’m doing homework constantly!
* my 2 year old throwing up every time she cries.
* my 5 year old making my 2 year old cry.
* Prop 8, 4 sure!
* politics. Vote early if you can y’all. I feel so liberated!
* this stupid rental that is way too small yet has way too much wasted space.
* that last little bit on the credit card. The moment I think it is paid off, it isn’t again?!?
* my husband’s coworkers.
* my coworkers.
* my husband’s calling (mostly because he hates it and lets me know constantly).
* 3 baby belly, even though I have lost all the weight I still have way too much extra skin.
* cleaning my house only to find it disgusting again 5 minutes after the kids get home.
That’s all for now. Thanks for letting me vent :).

mfranti (#35),
what? what does that have to do with this thread?
My comment was in response to the first three items from your six item list in the post. Didn’t mean to be off topic. Also, I was not being sarcastic. I hope it puts some bounce in your step that things are going your way politically.

I’m tired of the freakin’ cat peeing on the bathmat when she has two litterboxes.

jacobj, that’s fair.
i just don’t want anyone getting hung up on the lists. i want this to be fun…not a debate.
no bounce. i’m not that optimistic.
if you don’t like politics, don’t click on my links. i just didn’t know how else to make my point.

Comment by Susan M — October 29, 2008 @ 3:28 pm
I’m tired of the election and all that entails, but grateful I get to have a say.
I’m tired of dealing with health problems that could have been prevented a decade ago, but the doctors “don’t do elective surgery of that sort”. I’m glad it’s not something worse and can still be fixed.
I’m tired of being the parent of an older adopted child that resents me being her mother. I’m grateful for my other adopted child who loves me.
I’m tired of dealing with above teenager and the illegal, immoral things she does and isn’t sorry for (yep. Told us that there was no intention to say sorry for anything, only felt bad for getting caught.) I’m grateful said teenager is still alive and has a chance to change. Probably wouldn’t have lived to the age of 7 with bio-parents.
I’m tired of working to pay off attorney fees in a case we won but the guy filed bankruptcy. (More than $150K in damages already paid out, down the tubes and we can’t afford to get the structural problems fixed ourselves in order to sell the house) I’m grateful I have a marketable skill and the attorney is willing to wait, several years to be paid in full.
I’m tired of being cold (-1F today) and it’s only October. I’m grateful for wood heat and being able to sit in front of the fire and a husband that shares the blankies.
I’m tired of people thinking that because they “think” I am a SAHM I have all this extra time on my hands to do handyman jobs they are willing to pay for. (Why don’t they just pay a professional?) I’m grateful that I have the skills to help others out.
Comment by jj — October 29, 2008 @ 3:28 pm
kimberly, is the litterbox free of stinky cat litter?
also, remove that mat from the bathroom. she can still smell her urine. hopefully that will help
Comment by mfranti — October 29, 2008 @ 3:29 pm
mfranti,
Her cat litter boxes are so clean, I’d let my 5 year old play in them. Then, I tried leaving one a little dirty, thinking they might be so clean that she didn’t get the point. Switched litter brands twice, including an all natural organic type that costs a gazillion dollars. Nope. Had her checked for a UTI, and she’s fine. The vet says that some cats prefer the texture of carpeting…like using an upscale bathroom (he laughed, I didn’t). I’ve had tons of cats and none of them did this unless they were sick or stuck in a room by accident.
Yeah…you are right about removing the bathmat. I was afraid it would drive her to the carpeting on the stairs, which isn’t so easy to remove. She uses the litterboxes several times a day but for some reason, takes it into her head to christen the bathmat. I will try getting another one. It’s cheaper than replacing the stair carpet.
Comment by Kimberly — October 29, 2008 @ 3:45 pm
I’m tired of being tired- too tired to cook, clean, and relax the way I want to.

Not to mention all of these tiring comments.
I’m tired of blogging. I need a nap.

nope… it’s an old one. A pioneer story with a lot of rape scenes. Good times, good times. Thank you, now I know to stay away from that one, too. I like approx 50% of his writing. The other 50% seriously annoys me.
OK.
I’m not tired of thawed totino’s pizza dipped in ranch dressing. (sorry Lisa)
not tired of my baby boy’s considering gaze as he plays with my face.
not tired of sleeping.
Not tired of cuddling with my husband.
Not tired of breaking out the guitar and having some tunes.

not tired of people who can make me laugh.
only slightly tired of the FM that is H, but only because it happens to be on the screen I can’t seem to break free of today.

Yes #19 “it seriously blows”!!!! It’s the time line I am tired of.
Tired of Prop 8 and I don’t live in California
Tired to death of political crap… Isn’t it obvious that Obama will win?
Tired of being the single outcast of the ward. I get your point too Keri!
(Do they know we don’t want their husbands?!)
Tired of writing papers for school! Reading assignments stink too.
Thanks mfranti, Its just a start but it feels nice. Thanks y’all for being a single woman’s Friday night date! (and I don’t have to shower when I am done-haha)
I have a friend in upstate New York who trunk or treats and she ain’t Mormon.

I’m tired of:
Not having a dishwasher
Hating my job
Working 10 hours/day
Having no friends
Not living in NYC
Being totally and utterly dead broke because of student loans…why oh why did I go to grad school only to become a secretary???
My bad habit of watching a movie every night instead of doing productive things
Not having any chairs and so not being able to ever have anyone over
Having wall-to-wall carpet and being too poor to buy a real vacuum
Having only dowdy clothes
Worrying about Church protocol
Being ignored by married people in my ward because I’m not married and by single people because I have a boyfriend
The suspense of this election
Family drama
Feeling my brains melt out of my head

I’m tired of other people’s expectations.

I’m not tired of:
holding my baby while he sleeps
the blue walls in our main room, or the green and orange in the front one
making mini cupcakes (cutest desserts ever)
having a book club to go to
…though I am tired of reading Pride and Prejudice for bookclub.

P & P is my favorite book. I am re-reading it for a class. It is not the same when you have to analyze and scrutinize and cram for a deadline. Masterpiece theater movie version is good, and closer to book than Kiera Knightly’s version.
Comment by bigmama — October 29, 2008 @ 5:34 pm
My list could just be a greatest hits of everyone else’s lists.
I’m tired of the hot CA weather.
I’m so tired of Prop 8 I can barely stand to type it.
I’m tired of student loans.
I’m tired of having my computer in the shop and surfing on this stupid malfunctioning laptop.
I’m tired of going to church with people who won’t let you develop a deeper relationship with them. I’m so endlessly tired of small talk.
I’m tired of being constantly damp from the endless stream of baby drool coming from this kid’s mouth.
I’m tired of people assuming that all mormon’s think the same, so it’s perfectly appropriate to go on an anti-Obama tirade at a Halloween party.
I’m tired of the jerks who stole my Obama/Biden bumper sticker at the priesthood session of general conference. I’m still P.O’d over that one.
Comment by reese — October 29, 2008 @ 5:36 pm
- I’m tired of members of the church acting like Prop 8 is the first important thing to appear on a ballot (seriously? You’re just registering to vote now?!? Where have you been the last [fill in how many years since they turned 19] years?!?!
- I’m tired of supporters of both candidates acting as though they are the smart ones and the other side are idiots.
- I’m tired of the feeling I have that even when the election is over… it won’t be over… ever.
- I’m tired of trying to figure out what to take to work for lunch.
I know there is more, but I have to leave.

I am tired of nearly half of our monthly income going towards rent on an apartment that has mold and silverfish and no plugs in the bathroom. I am tired of the fact that our apartment is as cheap as they get in this city.
I am tired of Canada’s electoral system. Did you know that the Bloc Quebequois party got 10% of the vote and nearly 50 seats in parliament, while the Green party got 8% and no seats? Oh and I am tired of Stephen Harper’s smarmy face.
I am tired of wanting to lose weight. I am tired of not having quite enough willpower to do it (or forget it)
I am tired of the stupid paper I am supposed to be writing at this moment.
I am tired of girls insisting on wearing skanky halloween costumes.
I am tired of my mostly wonderful friends at church thinking its ok to use ‘gay’ as an insult.
I am tired of my hair being too long and flopping into my face and tickling my nose all day.
Ohhh that felt GOOD!

Comment by Em — October 29, 2008 @ 6:04 pm
I’m tired of:
-cooking dinner only for it to be gone in 5 minutes
-doing dishes and laundry over and over and over and over and over again
-Not having enough adult conversation during the day
-singing in our ward choir next to an older lady who hates me {or just hates everyone in general but makes rude remarks to me out of the blue!}
-sales calls during dinner time
-collection calls {also during dinner time!}
-not having enough opportunities to bounce my ideas off on people… {my thoughts, ideas, etc, have changed radically in the past few years and I feel like a stranger even to myself sometimes!}
-Sarah Palin… like someone else said here I can’t stand the way she talks - I really hope she doesn’t end up as VP!
-politics… I have a love/hate relationship with it and I am so tired of the dissecting of the campaigns… I just want us to all vote and have it done with already! {And if McCain wins, I am moving to Canada!}
-Proposition 8. I am tired of feeling like I have the Scarlet Letter A tatooed on my forehead because I disagree with Prop 8. Everyone in my ward who talks about it acts as if you disagree with it then you should be excommunicated or something. Needless to say, my mouth is shut more often than not.
-Insurance companies denying my $500./month medication that I have to pay for out of pocket in order to prevent neurological damge to my brain. {If Obama doesn’t make it into office, I REALLY am going to Canada!} I think we should get rid of insurance companies altogether!
-Sexism in the media. A couple in my childbirth classes commented that something they have noticed recently is an increased amount of sexism in society and the media. I have been paying attention closely since then and they were not kidding. What the heck is going on?! {I guess this is a post for another day!}
-Patronizing, sexist, control-freak doctors who think they are God’s gift to women…. had to deal with a few this week and two of them were LDS… fun, fun.
-Trying to apply for school financial aid and sign up for classes… I am so sick of forms, forms, and more forms! I can’t wait til I am done!
-Poppy diapers.. kind of in the same category as laundry and dishes! LOL

Thank you for this thread…I needed to vent tonight.
I am tired of feeling underprepared and underpaid as a social worker….
I am tired of tragedy.
I am tired of poverty.
I am tired of people who don’t care.
I am tired of people asking me when I am going to have kids….should I have to explain to every person that I CAN’T get pregnant??
I am tired of feeling dissatisfied with myself.
I am already tired of the cold.
I am tired of debt.
I am tired of feeling like I have to justify life decisions as a female.
Yep. Thanks for giving me permission to vent.
Comment by Christy — October 29, 2008 @ 6:12 pm
I’m tired of being cold but also being afraid to turn on the heater because we’re so broke, of which I am also, above all, extremely tired.
I’m tired of the one kid whining non-stop and the other one screaming non-stop.
I’m tired of my bike tire persistently refusing to fix itself.
I’m tired of trying to come up with three wholesome, homemade meals a day for kids who cry about how hungry they are and then ask for yogurt after I make them something.
I’m tired of waiting for my period. I’m tired of worrying every month that I’m pregnant. I’m tired of waiting for an opening with a urologist so my husband can get a vasectomy and we can stop this madness. I’m tired of worrying that Medicaid will run out before he gets an appointment.
I’m tired of not having my own transportation and having to haul my ass out to the train for things that would otherwise take five minutes. I’m also tired of the sense that we will probably never own a car again, which usually makes me feel awesome but sometimes just makes me feel really, really tired.
I’m tired of thinking so much and worrying all the time.
I’m tired of my social phobia that makes it difficult to use the phone or leave the house.
I’m tired of making conversation.
I’m tired of more emails than I can handle. (This is not directed at you, M.)
I’m tired of having to study five different textbooks and eight different manuals every single stupid day.
I’m tired of the tiniest issues becoming a source of contention with my husband’s family, and trying to be the peacekeeper, which is really not in my nature.
I am so, so, so sick of Sarah Palin.
I am so, so, so sick of Prop. 8, and I don’t even live in California.
I’m tired of worrying that none of my hopeful desires will ever happen. It used to be that all a person could hope for was a little house on a little tract of fertile land in a little self-sustaining community. Now you just about have to kill yourself to get that, and there are all kinds of extenuating circumstances.
I’m tired of American capitalism.
I’m tired of men in black suits talking down to me.
I’m tired of sharing a bed with two kids.
That didn’t really feel great, but it was fun to participate.

I’m tired of school. Only six more weeks.
I’m tired of pompous professors, executives and colleagues.
I’m tired of the ups and downs of the stock market.
I’m tired of hearing about Prop. 8. My family members’ involvement embarrasses me.
I’m tired of seeing ads for opposing candidates during the same commercial break.
I’m tired of my wife’s clumsiness. That split lip ruined my evening.
I’m tired of washing my car. Remind me not to buy black next time.
I’m tired of hard water deposits.
I’m tired of mind-numbing work.

Comment by MikeInWeHo — October 29, 2008 @ 7:37 pm
I am tired of reading news stories about all the children abused and/or killed by unprepared parents, or just as often the parent’s new boyfriend or girlfriend. (Usually boyfriend.)
I’m tired of seeing drug addicted birth mothers have one baby after another. (Currently dealing with one mom who is has had 13 taken away for abuse or neglect. - The 13 are only the ones born alive. - This mom lists birth father who is listed as birth father for another 24 children whose cases are in the system.)
I’m tired of men (and women) who take little or no responsibility for the children they create.
I’m tired of the low level of standards that allow most anyone (or so it feels) be foster parents because there is such a shortage, then counties being “shocked” when foster children are neglected/abused by the foster parents.
Yes, there is a theme here.
What I m not tired of: People who truly nurture theirs and others children. Thank you for this chance to vent!
Comment by annastasiam — October 29, 2008 @ 8:12 pm
I’m feeling good today, probably because I got to watch my kids go crazy at a trunk or treat and now I am very excited about Friday, plus the last two days have been the first cool days of the year here.
But in general,
I am tired of not having enough money. Always “borrowing from Peter to pay Paul” and now trying to figure if I can pay tithing and still be able to pay rent in January.
Feeling like we are in a 24 month holding pattern as my husband finishes a 12 month internship for his PhD and then needs another 12 months under someone or as a post doc. before he can license. I don’t know where will be in 8 months and again in 18 months.
Wishing I didn’t feel torn about not working and having both my kids in school this year.
Comment by Miles — October 29, 2008 @ 8:22 pm
66. EmilyCC- me too!
Doesn’t that sum it all up?
Love this thread- isn’t this how it is? My whole life is a love/hate relationship.
Tired of cleaning, grateful for the house.
Tired of the bickering, whining, fighting, worrying that I’m doing it wrong that go with parenting, but grateful for my kids.
Tired of trying to live the gospel sometimes, but grateful that I have it.
Tired of being tired and feeling old- don’t think there’s an upside to this one. (Some might argue that wisdom comes with age, but I gotta tell you, the older I get, the more I realize how little I know).
Comment by meggle — October 29, 2008 @ 11:24 pm

Two weeks ago I probably could have made a list the length of which would rival all. But, today I am just feeling too darn good to think about things that make me tired. Have a good night ya’ll.

This may be a little late but I think it is good food for thought and related to this post. I don’t know how many of you read the bicycling blogs. But if you don’t, I think you should all go over and read the last two posts, 10/28 and 10/29, on http://www.fatcyclist.com/
Might help us get a little perspective on what we are tired of.
Comment by Cyclingred — October 30, 2008 @ 7:22 am
Hey, are we going to have a follow-up post on “Things I’m Happy About?” We ought to.
Let’s see, right now I’m tired of:
- adults in Church, especially the Relief Society sisters who ignore my wife because she has a job and no kids, which obviously makes her less of a woman
- all election stuff; I’m ready to vote and I want all of this crap to be over
- not making as much money as I should
- how expensive things are here (DC area)
- how bad traffic is
- how much local officials are in denial about the traffic/transportation situation
- asthma
- not having kids
Comment by Bro. Jones — October 30, 2008 @ 8:29 am
Here in KS trunk-or-treat is done more by non mormons than mormons. In fact, you can go to most grocery store parking lots or church parking lots and get candy. I think the reason why its done here is that you can go without freezing or getting snowed on.
I am tired of:
-my child teething
-calling people to make appointments
-my messy house (yeah thats partly my fault)
-money, and all the things you have to buy with it.
Comment by becca — October 30, 2008 @ 9:38 am
Oh yeah, and I am tired of visiting teaching every month and getting a plate of cookies dropped off by my visiting teachers. If I really wanted cookies I could make them or buy them. That’s probably also why I never give treats to my visiting teachees. A treat is not uplifting! In fact after I eat half the plate I feel worse!

Comment by bigmama — October 30, 2008 @ 10:11 am
#99 - having lived in the DC area, I can completely empathize with your list - but this irks me - it’s because most of them can afford to live close or have a driver - they don’t deal with public transit or traffic. It drove me insane. It’s no better here though.
-I’m tired of people who think those on the “one side” of politics (whatever side that might be) are convinced that the “other side” (whatever side that is) must be stupid, uneducated, uncaring, un-whatever.
-I’m tired of bearing the weight of the world on my shoulders.
-I’m tired of being the income, the housekeeper, the chef and the personal assistant.
-I’m tired of caring so much that my family never visits (and that I can’t visit them).
-I’m tired of making a good living and having no extra money because of a half-decade of retarded financial decisions.
-I’m tired of having to be the “responsible” one.
-I’m tired of being mentally and physically exhausted all the time.
I AM NOT tired of:
-Being a mother. I love it with every bone in my body.
-Living in my neighborhood.
-Being employed (even though I long to be a SAHM - but since I have to be employed, I’m grateful to have a job in my field).
-Knowing God loves me - even when I’m struggling
-Finally making friends after 16 months here
Comment by Sara — October 30, 2008 @ 11:47 am
I’m tired of feeling like lepers every time we take our second son out in public.
I’m tired of people shrieking “why don’t you control your child,” particularly when the clueless person saying this is the secretary of the child behavior specialist that we drove 45 minutes to see, in order to get tips on how to manage that child.
I’m tired of people blaming my wife for the fact that our kid seems to be starving to death, even though it’s because of intestinal problems, and even though we’ve worked hours a day and gained considerable weight of our own trying to cook stuff that he can eat and digest.
I’m tired of being classified as a stodgy conservative by liberals, as a radical leftist by conservatives, as a fanatical mormon by non mormons, and as an intellectual apostate by mormons.
I’m tired of all discussions about Proposition 8 being dominated and shut down by folks who claim to be tired of talking about Proposition 8, and apparently need to be protected from their uncontrollable impulse to read every post on Proposition 8 by shutting down the discussion.

Comment by Janet — October 30, 2008 @ 11:58 pm
Oh and Christian, I’m the one who shut down the other thread. It had gotten ridiculously long and there’s a time when conversations stop being arguments and start being fights. So blame me for that call. I made it. (And I truly am so tired I’ve had to stop reading. The spiritual dissonance was making me absolutely crazy! That’s not to say others can’t productively discuss the issue; it just seems that a fresh start with a more narrow focus might help. I’m not quite sure what that might be, I admit, but I think it would help. Feel free to email me with suggestions. But when things boil down to “you’re a bigot” and “no I’m not; you’re a bigot,” it’s time to change direction. As you note, labels depend on where the label-er and label-e are standing in relation to each other. I wish I knew a better way to help us imagine ourselves in the other person’s spot. But I don’t.)

Christian, I got calls from the teacher AND the school counselor today about one child’s behavior. And this is nothing new. It definitely makes me weary. It makes me question my own abilities and judgment on a lot of things. I wish it were not happening; I wish I did not have to deal with a new round of appointments and consider more medication and blah blah blah. But I think I do.
If you or your wife would like to discuss or commiserate, I’m available.

Chandelle (and others dealing with phobia)–
Excuse this threadjack. I’d like to mention two books that may be useful for people with social and situational phobias: Allen Shawn’s I WISH I COULD BE THERE and anything you can find by CLAIRE WEEKS. Though many consider Weeks outdated, she’s a straight-talking, hugely experienced MD from Down Under whose techniques still work very well. Allen Shawn is the son of longtime New Yorker editor William Shawn; he himself deals with a very large number of phobias, and writes about this experience and phobias per se with wit, insight, and refreshing self-respect.

No fair, Janet, you know I’d forgive you anything.
But seriously, it’s not a question of blame; I’m grateful that the discussions occurred in the first place, except that’s for the other thread.
Ana, we’ll definitely have to commiserate. Me and Thing Two just came in from T/Ting, since the spookiness of the last house really got to the poor kid. My wife’s taking Things One and Three out some more since they haven’t had enough yet. I can *really* identify with what you said. This year we have a better teacher but in past years we used to get 3-4 calls a week saying come get Thing Two from school, since the three Autism Masters Degree Specialists running a special class of two or three Autistic kids apparently with all their combined expertise couldn’t control our Thing Two.
