I was shopping around for a new guild in WoW and saw my old guild recruiting, so I asked about rejoining. Basically they told me I'm not a very good player and my character isn't that great so they don't really want me back.
I'm just feeling sorry for myself and like I fail at everything I try. I try to do siggies here and no one wants 'em - last time I offered to make some, not one person asked Not to make anyone feel bad - if you don't like 'em you don't like 'em. I try to do digital scrapbook designing and can't make any sales. I wanted to become a recruiter and couldn't get a job - even had one recruiting company tell me to stop contacting them about their open positions.
I just feel like a huge failure. I have a beautiful family and yet I'm never happy just as things are. My family is the only thing that's right in my life.
BTW, I love your siggies - you made my all time favorite one. I just have not downloaded any new pictures in ages. (and Mandy is going through a bad hair phase which is making for akward pics...)
Your family is beautiful and you are an awesome mom to your boys! Which, we all know is the most important job.
Whenever I'm down in the dumps I paint my toes and wear lipstick- which is so unlike tomboy me, but I think it makes other people brighten up which in turn reflects back on me and makes me feel better. (Even if it shocks some people I think that makes it even better!)
I think we all feel like this at times. You are a great person, you make great siggies, you have a great family, (i know nothing about WoW but I bet you are a great player), honestly don't let other people get you down. It sounds you are going through a lot right now. Maybe you could take a day to yourself get out of the house, do what you love and just focus on yourself. I know we all need a little time to re discover ourselves sometimes.
:hugs:

Thanks Vicki for my always awesome siggy!
I think you are amazing, you are always willing to try new things, you're very creative, I think you are good at every thing you do, I tthink you are being to hard on yourself, I gree with Robyn, you need a you day, go do something just for you, it will make you feel way better <3
First of all- you make great siggies. I have needed a new one for awhile, but I have been waiting until the whole surgery thing with your LO blew over to ask you for a new one.
Second of all, I consider you a friend and I don't take kindly to people saying things about my friend like that! Even if it's you saying them!!
Sorry that the WoW guild was so snobby- they don't deserve your time anyways. Dweebs!
I like the suggestions of PP here. Try to do something just for you so you can recharge. And even if you feel like you are failing- remember that the road to success is paved with failure.
I agree with Kate that things seem to happen in groups sometimes, and it just makes you feel blah! I'm sure we've all had times like that.
This is no lie! I was thinking about requesting a siggy from you yesterday! But I was too lazy to go through pictures so it hadn't happened yet
Your wonderful family is better than any stupid guild! Try not to let it bother you, maybe you will find a group of people to play with that you have more fun with anyway.
Sorry you are having a rough time...I agree with everyone else you are very creative and you have a beautiful family. Sometimes its hard but we need to focus on the positive things in our lives.
Thanks ladies. Unfortunately a "me" day isn't going to happen. DH pulled a muscle in his back weeks ago and has been grunting and groaning around the house ever since. I've had to take on his chores like doing laundry in addition to my own. This morning when hoisting Duncan into his bouncy seat I hurt *my* back and have been in pain all day. But, of course, I had to do everything when I got home while DH sat on his ***.
Then in one of my mailing lists another scrapbooking designer *****ed me out for complaining that they kept asking us to do all these little piddly things for the next blog train. So I told her to F off and left the group.
sometimes bad stuff just all happens together and it would get anyone down! i think your siggies are really cute (i also haven't uploaded any new photos in awhile - mostly b/c 90% of what i've taken since Savannah started crawling are of her fist as she swipes my camera LOL). I know nothing of WoW, but they're a bunch of losers if they've lost sight that it's just.a.game...sheesh...don't even let them get you down, sounds like they were a sucky group anyway and now you can go find a much nicer group of people to play with. HUGS

aww (((hugs))) I wish I knew the right thing to say but i really don't, it sounds like you have allot on your plate right now!!! I think your siggies are awesome, I've asked if people wanted siggies before and got little or no response also, I think honestly it's all in the timing, for instance right now is a good time to ask because most people want fall/halloween siggies
I know you have been under so much stress lately, with your son's surgery, your new job, and all the other things going on and I know sometimes it can really just seem like too much, just know I will certainly pray for you and that I think things will get better!
Ever need to talk pm me or send me a facebook message, I'm a pretty good listener I am told
You can come walk in my shoes for a day, I am sure you would feel VERY successful! Kidding, but not. I am one of those people who takes 2 steps forward, then 10 steps back. I got a second job, saved up $800 to make it through the month from august to september I don't get a paycheck, then my car decides to completely fall apart and it costs $1500 to fix it. Then I asked for a raise at work, nobody has gotten raises, but they gave me an extra .10 cents because I finished my level II teaching assistant certificate. Then I get a letter in the mail saying they are garnishing my wages by $60 every paycheck because the idiot who stole my identity and took out a loan obviously hasn't paid it, and despite the sale being in staen island when I am 3 hours away, I am responsible for a car I don't even get the pleasure of driving while mine sits in the driveway because I can't afford to fix it. And I can't get a new one because dum@ss is out driving a new car while my credit is destroyed thanks to him/her.
So, definitely don't get down on yourself. Be thankful you have a husband and a nice place to live. That to me is NOT failure! And don't give up on siggy making, chances are you will get better and better as times goes on.
As for WoW i'm sorry but the people who have the best gear, the highest level, the most tricked out mount are the ones WITH NO LIFE! They're kids who play all night when they should be studying for tests, or college students with no job or responsibilities or like my exhusband people who ignore their other responsibilities to play the game to extremes. Most people can't play video game with the intensity they need to be at the highest levels without neglecting some other part of their real life. My ex was in the best guild, and at the highest level and neglected our family. I'd love to play WoW again but not to the neglect of my family. So do NOT feel bad about them knocking you, if anything feel proud that you have a life outside the game that needs your attention.
As for the siggies, I for one don't take the time to figure out how to pick, coordinate, upload and resize photos then post them on here in order to request new siggies often, so I often ignore those threads, then to boot i've always read that we're not supposed to use the boards for siggie requests, but the siggie request board itself, so I usually ignore those threads here. So even if you did post here i'd still go to the request board.
I know what you mean about everything happening at once and it's been something i've gone through in the past. For me personally I believe God uses those times to help me refocus on Him. To teach me to realize that nothing else is important, peoples opinions and thoughts about me aren't important, it's only HIS opinion that matters, and the fact that He was willing to die for me tells me that I matter that much to somebody. Something I learned at bible study today was very interesting the teacher said that whatever pain you're in right then is where your focus is, but we fail to see the bigger picture. Sometimes we have to look back in order to look forward. Meaning we need to look back and see how we've gotten through things in the past, how God has opened doors and moved things around and met our needs. I don't know if you're a christian or not so this might not make sense to you but it's helped me a ton. Back in November when I was homeless, in a shelter and in what felt like the biggest pit of my life I remember feeling like such a horrendous failure and I look back on it now and realize how God used that to bring me to where I am now almost a year later.
So don't let others make you feel bad, especially not people online who don't truly know you, or your family, or your heart. These people will probably pass through your life shorter than a sneeze and aren't worth your tears, pain or sadness.
Hope you feel better tonight.

Thank you so much -Vicki-for my siggie
I hope your feeling better today. Sometimes life just seems to want everything bad and annoying to happen at one time. Try not to let it get you down. Like you said, you have a beautiful family and they are what's most important in your life.
hang in there hun...i wish i had some really great advice or somethin totally reassuring to say but i dont...in all honesty my day, well, week, is going a whole heck of a lot like yours...just kinda cr***y. hey, on the upside we can be in this together?!
Not to make anyone feel bad - if you don't like 'em you don't like 'em. I try to do digital scrapbook designing and can't make any sales. I wanted to become a recruiter and couldn't get a job - even had one recruiting company tell me to stop contacting them about their open positions.
