Quotes:
Imagine life is a game in which you are juggling five balls. The balls are called work, family, health, friends, and integrity. And you're keeping all of them in air. But one day you finally come to understand that the work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls - family, health, friends, integrity- are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered. And once you truly understand the lesson of the five balls, you will have the beginnings of balance in your life. - "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas"
If you turn a gift away from its doors it always goes to the one who takes it in. - "A Simple Twist of Faith"

When It Rains...
Well a lot of thing have happened lately. I've talked with my mom more about my trip and it's for sure happening, She's helping me with the arrangement and booking of the hotel since I've never really done that myself before. I'm so excited to see Jeff Dunham but I'm even more excited to see all my friends that I've dearly missed so much being out here in the boondocks. If I never see the show it would still be worth the trip just to catch up with everyone. I know five days seems like a lot but I'm sure it's gonna fly by so fast once I'm down there. I guess some is always better then none, but it always leaves you wanting more too.
I got a call from Walmart the other day, they asked me in for my interview. I got the job, all I have to do is pass my drug screening, and if I remember correctly I quit heroine like a week ago so I should be OK, JK! I don't do any drugs and I rarely if ever drink!!!!!! But I should be getting a call about the orientation anytime now, they told me they do those on Tuesdays which would be great, since currently that is one of my days off. I think I will continue to work the overnights at Henderson, but I'm not going to be working the 3-11 Monday shift there anymore. Tina and Lori stopped me today to talk to be about my performance there. I guess the other two girls feel that I'm not helping out as much as they would like me to, and that I'm ignoring them or not waiting to communicate with them. I told Lori and Tina that it's not that I'm not helping but I'm not sure what there is to do there. I told them the other two girls do all the cooking and they do the showers. And I keep asking them if they want any help and stuff and they tell me no, they got it. So I walk around checking for laundry, and vacuuming the floors, and cleaning the bathrooms. There's not much to do since most of them go to bed early, about 8 or so. I told Lori and Tina that both the other girls smoke outside on the patio and I'm allergic to the smoke so I choose not to be outside with them while they are doing that, plus both of those two girls know I have a sun allergy so I'm not going to go outside during the heat of the day and sit with them. I didn't tell Lori or Tina out the sun allergy, I didn't feel that it was necessary to tell them, but thinking about it now I think I should. I'm just worried that they'll see it as an excuse not to do certain activities and it's not that I'm not wanting to help out, but if I do I need to know when so that I can put some sun lotion on. I don't like to put it on everyday, cause being outside for 20 minutes isn't the problem, but I do burn very very easily so I would need to know when for my safety sake. Plus the one girl, Elaine, recently got into a fight and had a black eye and came to work looking like that Monday and I kid you not about every 5 or 6 words out of her mouth are nothing but cuss words. I know that I cuss at times, but not to that extreme and I don't really like hearing a woman talk like. Plus the other two girls are Mexican and talk in Spanish, which I know none of. Kinda puts me out of the picture.
Today at work I also attended my very first safety committee. It was really nice! I like knowing that I'm getting more involved with the workplace and it's good to get my opinions out there and making an even greater difference. It was a little strange to be at the first one, since I don't' know what has happened in other previous meetings, it's like playing catch up but, not too much has happened so that was a good thing. They gave me a list of when the meetings with me for the rest of the year, and if I can't make it just to let them know. I don't see any reason why I can't though. The meeting are all on a Wednesday and always at 10 am and any changes get notified in advance. But the only thing I might have issues with is there are times when the committee does random 1:30 am drills for tornadoes, fire and shelter in place and I looked at the calendar and some of them are on Mondays which might be hard for me to get to. But I think I'll just end up getting off at my 11 pm and driving to the park or office and taking a quick nap until it's time to do it, so that I'm not wasting fuel or making a special trip for nothing, although I have drove all this way for an hour long class, so idk. It's part of my job and duty so I'll just need to put forth the effort and get it done. Today I also get to meet Robert. He's the new guy they hired to work at Tri-Plex. I spoke with Annette and she said that we should get along and that he seems like a nice guy. I'll be so glad too, we can get a little more work done at those apartments and get them into better looking shape. Would be really nice to see us making some head way, especially in like AA and LB's.
Recently I have two friends named Josh. Most of you know about the one named Joshua, but the other, Josh, you probably don't. But Josh M. texted me on Monday and told me that he was getting rid of his phone, he told me it's starting over with his life and other then family doesn't want any connections to the previous life. I told him that I was always going to be his friend and that no matter what I would always miss him. He's recently had to move back in with his parents and he lost his job and he failed out of school. I tried to tell him that I know EXACTLY where he's coming from and that everything was going to be alright. But he told me this was a good time for him to just start over and live like a hermit and just give into working on the farm. I told him that he has so much more potential then that and shouldn't give up, continue going to school and trying to get to the places he wants to be. I haven't been able to reach him by phone or email or anything so I guess if he doesn't want to know me anymore it's his loss, but I will always be there for him if he ever needs me. He's one of my best friends and maybe this rough patch will get paved over. I'll just have to wait and see.
Now my other friend, Joshua B. I'm still not really sure what happened but I'm just glad that he's doing so much better and that he's talking to people and working things out. He scared me Monday also but in the end I think he knows whats right and knows what needs to happen. I'm so happy to hear a difference voicemail greeting, even if it's just the standard computer lady resiting the phone number, but I'm sure he'll switch it back to a personalized one shortly. I couldn't picture him out of my life and I'm so happy to have him as a friend! But really he's more then friends, he's family! My brother from a another mother! lol! I would be greatly saddened if he were not in my life and cherish each talk and moment that we have together. He's one of the main reasons I'm going to Wichita in October. I hope he know just how truly amazing and special he is and knows just how lucky and how many people love and care for him! And if he don't I'll be the one to kick his butt for not knowing! lol jk!
Well onto some other friends. I've also recently spoke with my good friend Jason. He told me a lovely but freaky story about his co-workers daughter on Monday. I have to admit that after the two Josh's I was really glad to hear from him. He always makes me laugh and puts a smile on my face, which is just what I needed at that time. I won't repeat here what the story with the daughter was but trust me it's worth hearing! At least we know she has excellent computer skills. She should be very popular going into high school as a freshman if this gossip girl story gets around too! Jason told me also that he was still planning on coming to see me out here in the west. I don't know when yet and neither does he, but if he doesn't hurry his butt up I'm not going to be able to ask for those days off and I might actually beat him down there. He made a joke about how that would save him a ton of gas and money, and I told him it wouldn't cause he'd be taking me out to dinner! lol! I think I've told just about everyone one that I'm coming down, and when I'm coming down so it should be a great trip. Wait it WILL be a GREAT trip! I know it will be! I just don't know what I'm gonna wear or pack to wear. What can I say, I am a girl and I do tend to over pack a little but I never know what I'm gonna need. I usually plan for almost everything, and I plan for things that might happen. I'm not talking about packing a parka for a summer vacation but you never know. Could be a summer in Alaska! lol jk! I've also talked to Rion a lot lately! He's such a great guy and funny! I'm just glad I found another guy to talk sports to. You'd be surprised out of all of my guy pals Rion, and Don are about the only two that care about sports. Speaking of sports! OMG OLYMPIC TIME! Cute guys in tight sporty suits! Swimmers, divers, gymnastics, etc! HELL YEAH!! Michael Phelps!
My parents went down to visit my sister, Helen and her family who live in El Dorado. They went shopping in Wichita and had a good time. My mom went to a garage sale and bought me a "Parking Only for KU Jayhawks Fan" sign and hung it on the carport next to where I park. I really like it. She said it was only 50 cents and the plastic covering was still on it. I'd say it was the best bargain ever! But they are all doing well down there, my sister is huge! The baby is kicking her ass though. The doctor told her that she'll probably be about a week early. And I guess my nephew, Jacob, is having a bad case of the terrible threes. Everything is NO! But I kinda laugh because hearing stories of my sister as a kid sounds like a repeat of personalities! Everyone that knows me knows that I don't talk much with her and that we don't get along like we should, but she's 11 years older then me and we just have very different lives. I still love her with all my heart but sometimes she's a little too motherly. I got a wonderful mom, I wish I just had a sister. My mom did say that she seemed to really enjoy the baby blanket my mother made for her, which is good. Mom also said that they are giving away their dog Lucy, a Welsh Corgi. She said it's just too much pressure to have two, almost three kids, and take care of a dog too. Which is understandable. I told mom she should have just brought it back here to stay with us. All the hard work was done with the dog. Potty training and stuff. But mom still has her adopted half inside half outside cat, Tabby. I've never seen Lucy chase after a cat, but ya never know. I know Tabby doesn't like dogs either.
I'm excited to get my next check on the 19th. This is the big one! 56 hours of overtime! Yeah baby yeah! Very grrrr! I told mom that I'd like to get some things paid off with this and see how much I got left over. I know I'm almost done paying on most of the credit cards and I'm almost done paying off the hospital so. YEAH ME! Pretty should maybe I'll have some more in the bank and can watch that bundle get a little bigger. It would be nice to know that if I needed something like new shoes or whatever I could just go out and but them, which I do need new shoes for work. Plus mom has been looking around and in about 6 months I'll have my car and mom will have one of her vans paid off and then we can look into getting a her a new work van and me a different car. I'm thinking new birthday present for myself!! Wink Wink!! Dad's about to start going back into harvest for corn and milo so he'll be working a lot of overtime too. Should make sometimes better! Mom and dad have both told me that they are really proud of me and appreciate the effort that I'm putting out trying to help them and working so hard to get back on my feet. It's nice to hear them say that! Last night mom was happy that I was actually home for one night. I made spaghetti and meatballs, garlic rye bread and salad. Mom was glad not to have to cook when she got home and I had supper ready and on the table for them when they walked in the door. Then mom cut my hair, it's shoulder length. Almost all one length, I'm excited. It's still long enough to put into a pony tail too. I'll be glad when it's back down to my waste line. I guess about a year til it's there, but my hair grows fast so idk. Mom also helped me put a relaxer in it, it's still curly but a little more manageable. I went to bed early about 8 for some well deserved rest. I fell asleep watch my dvd of Jeff Dunham Spark of Insanity. I wake up to find it playing the opening them song on the root menu. Turned it off and went back to bed.

Oh Hell Yeah!
It's for sure on that I'm getting to go to Wichita for my trip! I'm so happy! I could really use a vacation and and if I keep working as much as I am I'm gonna have a sweet trip! I kinda made a list of all that I want to do and if I get to do all of it then it's gonna be an amazing trip! I've been talking a lot with both Rion an Josh a lot. They have a lot of ideas about what to do, so it should be fun!
My friend Jason is still planning on coming out to see me sometime! I hope he tells me when he's coming out so I can ask off for that weekend!
Well work is going great, as I said I'm working a lot! My next check is gonna have 56 hours of overtime! I know it feels like it's killing me now, but I'm looking forward to the long run! I had my 90 interview with Debbie and talked to her about how the work situation was going, with Norma and all. She said that she would get caught up with Tina and Barb, but since Barbs last day was Monday, Michael is the new supervisor. Michael is the bomb! He's so funny and smart! Plus I always get along better with men so I think it'll be a great match! Plus I know that Norma doesn't like having a male supervisor and I think it should be great. Norma is just another way of proving that: Women are bitches! Which is why I choose to hang out with men! I can talk about sports and movies and music and lots of things that no woman would want to talk about! I know that I'm a tomboy and I could care less! I love me and I ain't gonna change!

Sleepless in Scott City
Well, yes I know I haven't updated in a long time, so here goes.
I've been working like crazy lately. Lots of 16 hour shifts. But it's going to make for some awesome checks! I just know in the long run it'll be wroth it. I can get some more bills paid off, and afford to make a trip to Wichita. I'm hoping to come down in October, there's a Jeff Dunham performance, and y'all know I'm a huge fan! I Love Peanut and Walter. Well I love all of them, but those two are the best. I have both of his DVD's and I can quote about every damn word from both of them. I'm just worried that I might not be able to afford to come down, but I'm working on that. Hotel, gas, and food so. I'm just trying to save some so I can come down. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to.
But work is good none the less. I got my package for my tuition reimbursement. The deadline for the fall season is this August 1st. So I think I will just wait and turn it in for submission for the December 1st. deadline. That way I can also be sure of myself and get everything done. It's a rather huge packet and they're really picky about who they allow to get the reimbursement. If there's one flaw they'll reject it. I gotta make sure all my work is 100% or I'm screwed. Plus I want to wait til December because if by some chance I don't get excepted for the reimbursement I want to have the money saved up so I can pay for it myself. I wanna get my CNA!
The Scott County Free Fair is going on. My dad volunteered me to help him during the parade. I got off work Friday morning at 7 and my dad calls me at 7:30 and tells me to come eat breakfast with him and momma at the Broiler. I get there and order biscuits and gravy with two scrabble eggs. It was very good. Then dad told me to go home shower and come back to town to help with the parade. I was like I just finished working a 16 hour shift and now I gotta be in a parade! But instead of arguing I just did it, and besides my dad and I don't get to spend much time together so it was nice to just be able to talk with him. We had the biggest box of damn candy that I've ever seen. Snickers, Reece's, Tootsie Rolls, Dum Dum's, Smarties, Jaw Breakers, Twistlers, and even more. Dad told me to just throw like 5 or 6 pieces at a time. So we started off, dad was driving the Co-Op service wagon and I start throwing the candy. I look over about four or five blocks later at my dad and see him throwing massive hand fulls of candy. I was like so much for 5 or 6 pieces at a time, so I started throwing hand fulls too. I think my dad got more candy in the truck then he was throwing out the window lol! But we still had like 1/4 of candy left my the time we got back to the Co-Op. So then the parade over I figured I could now go home and rest, but nope. Mom and dad wanted me to follow them to Garden for some shopping and lunch. So by the time we got done with lunch, they went to Walmart and I went to the library to get some new books. I talked to Rion a lot that day too. He's so funny. But I went to work that afternoon at 3. I worked yet another 16 hours that day, and got off at 7 pm and drove home. I finally got home at 8 and went straight to bed. First time I'd been to bed since I had gotten up at 11 am Friday. I was beat!
Tonight I volunteered to work a HS shift, 11 to 7. Even though it's my day off. Tuesday through Thursday I got class, so I have to go in a little early each day.
Everything is going well, and I got my next gas bill, YEAH it went down $200!! I was so happy to hear that. Well I'm off to bed again, need to get as much sleep as I can get so my body gets restored, and plus it'll help me tonight to actually be fully rested.
Have a great week! Peece and Love! LOL!

Rumors
Well recently I had some trouble here at work. I went to work Saturday and I normally store my extra drinks and dinner in Dorothy and Katie's fridge. I walked in to do such and Dorothy was sitting in her chair and she told me "Congratulations! Norma, my co -worker, said you're were pregnant." I was caught off guard by this and I open the fridge and Norma walked in and I said "What!?" She said "Norma said you were pregnant." Norma spun around and yelled at Dorothy that she shouldn't repeat everything that she hears and walked out. I then preceded to tell her that I was not pregnant. Then my co- worker started yelling at me that she claimed to be doin' all the work. I didn't want to argue or have that conversation in front of the clients and told her that I didn't mind having the conversation but in the privacy of the office. I felt that it wasn't true or fair. I was so upset by what she had said to and about me that I called my best friend Josh and then I called my boss Barb. I was so upset at what had just happened my hands were shaking and I was crying. She called her supervisor Tina and then called me back to tell me that we were going to have a staff on Monday at 4pm. I then told her I would defineately be there and that I would like not to be in contact with her til then. Sunday I went to the group just down the street until she left and then went back down to Tri- Plex. Monday at our meeting we sat down that addressed the issues. Norma said that she felt she was doing everything to which I replied that she takes everyone but two people to go budget and shopping on mondays and tuesdays. I told her that I help one of the other two on wednesday with budget and shopping, and then I take most of everyone to softball practice for Special Olympics. I told them I normally stay there to watch myself since if it's too hot or there isn't enough people there then they can't practice and they would get done early and would need a ride home and that way I'm already be there to pick them up too. Then I told her on Thursday I do a lot of cleaning, but instead of doing the work for them, I do a lot of the work with them and it might take them an hour to clean the living room, but they are doing it themselves, which is the primary goal of the whole agency. Norma said that she understood that and didn't realize that. Plus I told her I'm only there two full days a week, and that there are other people that work there. I told her I wasn't quite sure if I believed that she did or didn't say that about me being pregnant, but I have read Dorothy's plan and back ground and there's nothing that states she would just make up stories. I told her it hurt me more that someone would say that about me then to tell me that I wasn't do my job well enough. Tina even told me that she didn't understand why I was only a DSA and not a DSM. She said I was over qualified for my current job. I told her I would love love love to be a DSM but living in the sticks and not being able to be on call for the agency, staff, and clients is unfair and if I lived closer and could be available I would apply to be one. My boss then told me that Norma and I are completely different workers with different styles but both dedicated and hard working, and two of her best employees and that I needed to suck it up and work with Norma or transfer to another location. I agreed to try and work with Norma again, but also told them to have my transfer papers ready cause I will not tolerate working with someone that belittles and is backstabbing and the first time I work with her and this happens I'm requesting the transfer immediately. They agreed.
Moving on to a completely different and happier topic now. Last night I had a date with a really great guy named Jeremy, he's an undercover cop. He goes to Walmart, bars, etc. in street clothes and makes sure things are running smoothly. I sorta felt bad cause he called me and told me he didn't want to go and was feeling a little sick, but I told him I had drove an hour for the date, so he agreed to come out and meet me at the movie theatre. We watched The Hulk! Edward Norton is the best Hulk ever! It's a great movie and y'all gotta go see it. He actually put his arm around me and I put my hand on his shoulder for most of the movie. We walked out holding hands, and we went down by the river to talk and get to know each other a little better. I really like him, I hope he calls me. He did write me an email telling he thought about me all night and couldn't wait until our next date. I replied to him asking when that was gonna be and if we go back down by the river to bring a blanket next time, the sand was nice, but it's still all over my car seat. I haven't gotta his reply but he told me he had to work the rest of the week so I'm sure he will.
Josh said the apartment search is underway. His computer crashed so he hasn't been able to write a blog but he will shortly. I told him that Rion and him are newest Odd Couple! He laughed and told me he hadn't thought about that. Y'all know it's true!
Hope everyone has a great week! Later y'all!

Great Memories!
Recently I have had the great opportunity to talk to some old friends, and make a new one. I was on facebook and Max IM'd me, he was in my brothers class. He wanted to know what Leon was and all that. I told him he was fine, lived in Texas, married with 3 kids and would be back this way around Christmas. Then he told me he always thought I was cute, but was always too shy to say anything. I told him I always thought he was cute, but not quite my type. He then asked if I had changed since since high school, and I replied to him to look at my photos and he told me I looked the same and that I had grew a little more, better. He told me he had a few friends that would love to date him, he's in Manhattan. I told him if I ever get that way again we'll go out to Aggieville for drinks and catch up, but not really wanting to date long distance. Since I don't get up there often. The last time I was up there my KU flag was torn off my car, I'm glad my window didn't break too, since it was so cold.
Last week I also had lunch with my old friend, Tyler. We went to Subway. It was nice to catch up with him. I told him, since he works with computers, to come out and fix mine. He also showed me his new car he just got. Blue Jeep Liberty. It's very nice. Tomorrow he's umpiring at Scott so we're going to hang out before and after the game. I'm exciting. I haven't seen any of the summer games yet this summer. Give me a chance to work a little on my tan while watching too, especially since I have tomorrow off. I was supposed to have today off, but an idiot new staff working a 24 Hour care group home got into a wreck and possible broke her wrist. Not a very good first day on the job, but it was her own fault. I was told she was driving, and 8:30, so it's almost dark, on her way to Walmart to get some Tussin for a client of ours with no lights on. She decided to clean off her windows and since she could see through the bugs and fluid she turned wrong and right into a light pole. I know the girl personally, not the brightest star in the sky, but I never would have guessed she was this stupid! Plus she was in her own car! Company will pay for her medical bills, but not for the car. I don't know why she didn't use the company van, but who knows! Any way I was asked to go over early to help cover her shift, and then they had a call in, so I had to work 16 hours yesterday/ today with no lunch or dinner breaks. I was so hungry by the time I got off work. Plus I found out that Dawn, a DSM, quit, and my boss, Barb, turned into their 2 weeks notices! Honestly I'm glad to see Barb, especially after I got her in trouble for not doing or filing paperwork. I'd love to get the DSM position, since I know I'm qualified, but living in the sticks an hour from work it's too hard. Maybe when I get a little more saved, and some more bills paid off I can move to Garden. I actually thought about talking to Debbie, our ED, cause they've helped others in this situation. Plus I'm almost ready to get my benefits and I need to go talk to Debbie anyway for my 60 day interview.
Also, I called and talked to my good buddy Josh! He's planning on moving in with Ryan, his friend. He let me talk to Ryan for a while. I really, really enjoyed our little talk. He said he might take me to DCRP, I think that sounds awesome, said he had family in Dodge. I'm glad he's a sports buff like me, it's a good way to always keep a conversation going. Since there's so many different types of sporting events. I went and saw the Olympics website, on NBC and there are sporting events on there that I didn't think about. Shooting and archery, and lots of others. I like Swimming, gymnastics, and track the best to watch! What can I say each of those have HOT HOT HOT men in tight little uniforms! Have you seen the arms on some of those men?! OMG WOW HOT WOW!! Anyway, I really hope he calls me, Ryan again. I'd like to talk with him more, and he's really funny too. It's not fair though, Josh showed him photos of me but I have yet to know what he looks like.
OMG, I almost forgot! HAPPY Belated INDEPENDENCE DAY!! My friend, Jason, sent me a photo of the fireworks he bought! OMG WOW!! I think he lit up the town that night! I would have loved to see them, maybe next year. He told me he's going to try to come out and see me in either August or September! I can't wait! Should be so much fun! I can't wait! We'll go out and hit the town!
I think I'm gonna change my background again too, but I'm not sure to what yet. Who knows, maybe I'll get creative, lol!

Cast Away!!
I finally got my cast off yesterday!! I'm so happy and excited! My friend Tyler was making fun of me, he told me I was too happy to be wearing two shoes again! lol! I told him to shut up!
Work is going really great! Especially now that I can do it better. We're throwing a surprise birthday party for one of my clients, Lori. Her birthday is Friday. We're having a picnic type party. Annette is going to either bring fireworks or take them all to the fair grounds for the big show. Be cheaper to take them to the show, but that's just my thinking. I told them I would bring a relish dish, so that there is something nutritious there. I have to go in early tomorrow but only 30 minutes, but I get off 30 minutes early too. Friday I was too a double shift again! Yes it's gonna suck ass again but I need the overtime.
Dad is working a lot lately, harvest hours started about a week ago. I told mom that I would cook supper for them tonight, I'm making my famous spaghetti and meatballs.
Mom is working on the new baby blanket for Helen's baby boy. She works on it at home and while waiting for dad to get off work, since they car pool together. It should be a nice blanket, three sades of blue and one white. Mom said she's not happy about having another boy, she wanted a girl. I told mom that not all kids are alike and maybe he'll be worse, mom cracked up laugh and said that my two brothers both said the same thing. lol! Nice to know that the smartest folks in the family still think alike. Anyway, mom said they may come up to see up this weekend! DAMN! Just want a need, a bitchy pregnant woman in the house. I can't wait. If she can't come up this weekend then it won't be til after the baby is born! Aww Shucks! Breaks my little ice boxed heart!
Mom and dad's anniversary is Friday as well! I think it's going to be there...27th? I don't know if that's right but it's close. I know Jason is 27 now and he was just a baby when they married. Yeah cause he's five years older then me, until October. I got them a card, but that's it. I don't know what else to do since I'll be working and dads in harvest. IDK! I'm gonna try to change my profiles so that they're all patriotic for the holiday! Wish me luck!
If I don't tell y'all before the, Happy Independence Day! And please everyone be safe!
