I stole this idea from Swistle.
- After reading her post I really want a Boston Cream donut, which just happens to be the only thing I think Dunkin Donuts does better than all the other donut places. And there are no Dunkin Donuts in Southern California.
- On nights that Sam wakes (usually from a nightmare), he does not always wake up in time to get to the potty the next morning. I don’t mind at all if he has an accident, but I only have two sets of sheets for each bed and he’s gotten both beds since the last time I did laundry and I DON’T WANT TO DO MORE LAUNDRY.
- I really want to go to the Rhinebeck Sheep & Wool Festival this year. I haven’t been since 1999 or maybe 2000 (I forget) and I WANT TO GO but I can’t afford it AT ALL. I miss upstate New York and I miss the festival and I miss my friends and I need to buy some things and WHINE.
- We need a DVD player, Will probably needs a new computer, I still need new glasses, the car needs a check-up, and we’re going to have to buy a bunch of stuff for this baby (mostly diapers and the like) and WE DON’T HAVE ANY MONEY. I am so tired of not having any money.
- I can’t seem to make any headway on my to-do list or my project pile.
On the plus side, the kitchen is clean (er, as long as you don’t look at the floor) and I’ve been making some really incredible food this week. YAY FARMER’S MARKET for supplying us with such excellent ingredients!
So, what have you got to complain about? Tell me here or go tell Swistle.
Wait. Wait wait wait. NO DUNKIN’ DONUTS??? So you are SANS BOSTON CREAMS, just…ALWAYS? EVEN WHEN PREGNANT??? THIS WILL NOT STAND!
I KNOW!! I mean, sure. Other donut shops have Boston Cream donuts. They’re just not the SAME.
I always get the Boston Creme and the Bavarian Creme mixed up at Dunkin’ Donuts. But I don’t really care as they are both great.
Do you know your glasses prescription? If so, try this place:

Regarding the diapers…how do you feel about one-size pockets?
My complaint is that they DO have Dunkin Donuts here but I can’t eat them! Now that sucks.
Heh, it’s funny, I was just getting ready to make a post of complaints myself. Basically, mine boil down to, “Being a grown-up is haaaaard.”
Ewokmama — Alas, I haven’t had my eyes checked in five years, so I really need a new prescription.
I like pockets all right, especially for nights and travel, but what we really need are infant prefolds. I’m making a wish list, but I’m afraid that’s still considered tacky for second babies so I don’t know.
Wish lists are not tacky, even for second babies. You get yourself registered RIGHT THIS INSTANT.
I will have diapers to give you too.
I’ve got a bajillion infant prefolds, but I’m not sure when we’ll stop needing them. Hm, after googling I see they are supposed to fit up to 15 lbs, and as he’s a little over 14 lbs right now, I’m sure he’ll be out of them in time for me to give them to you. What about clothes? Silas has outgrown his newborn stuff. Or did you save Sam’s clothes? I sure wish I still had girly stuff to give you so you could be prepared either way.
i have way too many prefolds- not the newborn size, the next size up. do you want some? they’re barely used cause i bought too many.
My washing machine is broken, the landlord is taking ages to fix it, the laundry in there (soaking wet) is beginning to smell of mould, and I am moving out TOMORROW. And I will be living out of a bag for a week. With half my stuff at my parents’ and half at my sisters. This stresses me out beyond belief.
Annika, if you let me at your working washing machine, I will gladly do your laundry! Anything to experience the bliss of clean things.
My complaints in a minute…first let me address the wish list thing? DO IT. Not that any one used ours but we did get coupons so we can complete our registry. So yeah, I hit up the registries at Target and Babies R Us just so I’d get coupons sent, including the coupon for taking money off whatever we want on our registry.
I think the tacky is supposed to be a second baby shower. There’s no harm in letting the world know what you want/need for your impending arrival.
NOW, complaints…
My husband bought a wireless card to install in my computer and promptly killed it. He goes to work every day with his laptop (it’s from work so it’s not ours anyway) leaving me DISCONNECTED from the ENTIRE WORLD till he gets home.
(Or so it seems)
Meanwhile, he’s gearing up for another round of business tripping meaning he’s working late constantly. The other day, I had the computer for 5 whole minutes (just enough time to play Mafia Wars)
If that’s not enough, I don’t know what is. This whole being without a computer while awaiting word on when he’s going out of town and for how long sorta absorbs enough of my complaining I suppose.
