I'm really happy to hear that. I'm glad that he has a good teacher this year. That's really really iimportant. I didn't have time to pack a proper lunch today and was gonna order a salad from the school, but I forgot about grandparents day and was just told with all the extra trays they're gonna have to make they don't know if they can make me a salad today so all I have is yogurt and a package of oatmeal. I haven't even eaten anything yet this morning.

Okay...so I had my yogurt and saved my oatmeal...but after I found out they might not be able to make my salad I went to my teacher and told her what they said.
Later in the morning she got her break and then I got mine. When I left for my break I went to Robin at the front desk to ask her again about the salad and amazingly enough she said they would be able to make it after all. When I got back from my break I told Sandy that they said they could make the salad after all and she was like, "Oh? Well that's good."
Later on I found out that before she went outside for her break she stopped by the front desk and made a big deal about me getting a salad. She had said something like, "My girl is hypoglycemic and you can't expect her to go all day without eating. They are making all these extra trays for the grandparent's, there better be a salad in there for Karen." From what I heard those were pretty much her exact words.
When I got the salad, it had all the regular stuff on it but they had big pieces of carrots, tomatoes, lots of cheese, two whole hard boiled eggs cut up, broccoli, some cold chopped up turkey meat, and a whole orange....because when Robin called the school back she told them that the person that the salad was for had a medical condition and really needed it.
Sometimes I really love the people that I work with.
For dinner I'm making fajita steak quesadilla's with cheese, onion, and bell pepper.
Sorry insanely swamped tonight. Same program airing on all major networks at the same time and people are freaking.
Weird.....
It's also the four year anniversary of my Cousin Larry's death....he was killed in a car wreck soooo....anyways lots going on I guess.
Sister is picking me up at like 9 in the morning to go walking around Pinnacle. I'm gonna take her on the Ouachita trail tomorrow and show her the part that we walk.
Sorry about your cousin. The anniversary of that kind of loss is always emotional.
In regard to the hiking,nice. beware of the ticks this time.

Oh I gots bug spray I can put on me. I just forgot about it last time.
Dinner was super yummy. Henry said they were mexican restaurant quality good.
In fact...I ate TWO of them. Lol
Nice! Good Mexican is always a good thing.
We didn't go out though, I made the fajita steak quesadilla's here at home. With onion, bell pepper, and cheese.
Well...if I'm gonna be getting up at 8 in the morning to make sure I'm ready when my sister gets here at 9 to go hiking, I need to get to bed. I tend to be more clumsy when I'm tired. Lol
Hope the rest of your night at work gets better Bro. Be careful going home in the morning. Maybe while I'm out with my sister tomorrow it'll give everyone else time to catch up to where I am time wise in the game.
Night nite everyone!!!
I know, but good Mexican is even better when you don't have to deal with crowds or worry about being messy.
Hope you get some good rest.
Henry, I posted with the Doctor Alias last night before I went to bed. Would you mind making it inactive?
Who?
I kid, lol.

Sorry...I've been out with my sister ALL day. We ended up hiking a lot more than I originally planned on and my feet/ankles/legs are killing me. Mostly my feet though, but I can feel the pain all the way into some of the bones.....if that makes any sense.
We actually ended up hiking 6.34 miles and took 3 hours and 16 minutes to do it in. That's over extremely uneven ground that's like super rocky, with lots and lots of ups and downs.
We had a really good time and then we went and got a really good sandwich from Kroger because after all that walking we needed some really good protein and a few carbs. Plus I drank like a ton of water.
Then we went back to her house and tried to start cleaning and going through things but J.J. and my nieces baby daddy were there and they woke up late so Brandi didn't have time to take baby daddy and J.J. to his grandma's house. So we got the baby changed, made a bottle and packed some extra formula, diapers....the whole nine really and loaded him and J.J. into her van and took them to his Grandma's house so we could clean.
Henry came and got me around 7ish, and then we went to eat at his mom's house because I was f$~%ing exhausted at that point. Now I'm already super sore and stuff, so I'm thinking about soaking in an epsom salt bath, but it's already like after 9 and I don't know if I'd be able to get back up after getting down into the tub....actually, I don't even know if I'd be able to get down into the tub in the first feakin' place.
Anyways I had a lot of fun with my sissy and we talked.....a lot. About a LOT of stuff since I guess we don't get to really see each other very much, even though she just lives like right across the river from me.
Anyways, that's just kinda been my day. What ever I do I really need to go elevate my feet for a while. I just wanted to let everyone know where I've been. I'm trying to give everyone a chance to catch up to where Arista is timewise so we don't have some funky time warp thing going on.
Hope everyone is having a good weekend so far.
I'll move things forward tomorrow afternoon and bring everyone together.
Yay, makes me happy to hear you had a good day. Take it easy. Been swamped at work here...big PPV boxing match. Should calm down later.
Enjoy the rest of the night.

Yeah....even got to see the little munchkin head for a while....well really really big munchkin head anyways. He's 14 months now and HUGE!! Also nearly potty trained....which is like...amazing. I think he's gonna be a big boy like his daddy. He's just so adorable though.
I'm debating on the bath though....it sounds tempting and I know I'm really gonna be hurting if I don't....but, 1. The walk was totally worth every bit of it, and 2. It's already pretty late. I don't know...It's mostly the jacked up ankle/foot that's hurting pretty bad right now. I didn't get laundry or anything done here today....
I guess there's always tomorrow. Lol
Okay....I'm really stiff and sore so I'm gonna take some ibuprofen and go lay down.
Night night everybody.
Night night. Sleep well, feel better.
Alright, I think it's time to start getting everyone back together so we can move forward again. I'll be working the next 11 days straight so my posting may slow down a bit.
Whoa!!! Make sure you're taking some kinda vitamins or something. A bit busy at work but yeah we can fast forward through Naked Gozreh round 2 and lunch lol.
Yeah...it's inventory time at walmart and all their department managers have to be there throughout the duration for their stupid crap. Which means that Henry is gonna be exhausted by the time he gets through this and they're only giving him three days off to recuperate.
Bastards....I could just.....
Ugh, I remember inventory doing retail. Never fun. Except in a bookstore I worked in where they hid money in random books. That was cool.
Hehe. Sounds like a job I could manage.
My issue is that I am slow, methodical and committed to perfection. Doesn't really do well at Wal-Mart.
Now see....THAT's incentive. Not, let us work you to death and then just give you three days off.
Okay, we gotta go to bed cuz we has to be up early in the morning as we go back to the same ol' same ol'.....*takes deep breath*
Everything is going to be alright.
Night night everyone.
Be careful going home in the morning Bro.
Will do sleep well kiddo.
Henry, get as much rest as you can, I'll be sending you energy as you charge into the madness.
Actually I slept for crap again. Woke up the first time around 1:45 am and couldn't really get back to sleep. At some point I must have nodded off because then the dog was waking me up just before 5 to let her out and then I had to go to the bathroom. So yeah, I slept for shit again. When I get home this afternoon I'm gonna have to take a nap before dealing with dinner or anything else.
I don't usually eat hot dogs cuz...they're nasty....but I was craving chili cheese dogs tonight, so that's what I made.
OH....I almost had chili cheese dog amnesia. So, our preschool director hired a third person for our classroom, which is good since another new little boy starts tomorrow...bringing our number up to ten.
Her name is Jessica and she's super nice, has experience with the age group and I just...well I sorta love her. Everyone tells me that it's just because we finally got some help....but I think she's gonna be really good to work with. She's also really good with the kids...so that's a big plus in my book.
I'm sooo happy!!! *big grin*
I took some melatonin around 8:30 and I'm already feeling pretty sleepy, so I'll probably be going to bed soon.
Mark, enjoy your last night of work for the week and have a safe drive home in the morning.
That's awesome. It's always great when the workload is easier and you have a good co-worker.
Thank you, I definitely will. Hope you get better rest tonight.
I apologize for my long absence, been trying to get the house ready for my parents visit this weekend. It's the first time they've been down here in five years, and the first time they'll see the house.
I'm both excited and nervous at the same time.
That makes sense, I'm sure it'll all be fine.

Hope you have a nice visit with them. We're actually gonna go out and see a movie for once.
Well...even though he's super busy and I know how tired he's been it was really nice to actually get to go to a movie tonight. Pretty tuckered out ourselves, so we'll probably be going to bed soon.
The last movie we saw in an actual theater was Iron Man 2.
Glad you guys got to have a fun night out.
So my cousin's putting out a comic and he's dedicating it to my brother.
That's pretty awesome about the comic and everything. I kept hurting myself at school today. Have a few new bruises. Plus just for shits and giggles I ran my ankle into our solid oak coffee table. At least I think it's oak...it might be maple...I'm not positive, it was my grandfather's and my aunt gave it to me. Anyways....I took some Melatonin a little bit ago so hopefully I'll sleep tonight without waking up constantly. I hope to be in bed between 9-9:30...we'll see.
I've just been super tired and I need some actual sleep.
Now to bed for realsies.
Night night everyone.
G'night.
Hey Andrew.....just wanted to check in with you and see how things are going. Have you heard anything about that job yet? Just wanted to make sure you were okay.
Q _ Q
Lol....what's that look about? Is it good or.....?

Awe......I'm sorry Bubba. The right thing will come along soon. Just hang in there and try to stay positive. We'll keep you in our thoughts as you continue to look for another job.

I hope something will turn up for you that you like.
Work is driving me 7 sorts of nuts and I'm watching DBZ Abridged and Yu-Gi-Oh Abridged to cope.
So....here's something that has nothing to do with anything else. It's just kinda weird so I'm throwing it out there.
We all know that I've been having trouble sleeping lately.....well, for quite a while. It's hard to go from being up all night to sleeping at night.
Anyways, so here lately I've been waking up frequently and at odd hours even though I take stuff to help me sleep.....well, here's the weird part. My lead teacher Ms. Sandy who've I've only been working with since March....she wakes up pretty often too...but she's much....much older than me. Here's what I found out today. We've been waking up at the same times during the night....except of course for the nights one of us sleeps all the way through, then so does the other.
Does anyone else find this as weird and disturbing as I do, or am I just crazy and imagining things?
