Sunglasses

About a week ago my mom taught me something, something that when i look at it, i look at it like i am looking at the sun without sunglass. i dont get a good look at the picture


One day my mom and i were just having a conversation about things going on, trying to help her forget about the pain her RA is causing her at the moment and just for a second my mom starts to tear up and tells me "I have prayed and prayed for comfort and i have yet to feel that" and i am not going to lie, i was a little shocked that she said that because whenever she is in pain and calls me, i am there! But i told her "Mom, your prayers have been answered you just arent seeing it, Heavenly Father has given your family and your loved one to comfort you, I have been here, HELLO" (haha) after i said that to her, she looked at me and pulled me in for a hug. After that i have been thinking about that i realized i dont really look for the answers to my prays, and my mom has taught me and i guess i have taught myself to open my eyes up a little wider, put some sunglasses on when i look at the sun so i can see what it really looks like.

My mom as also reminded me to love and be thankful for my family because i know whatever happens to me that they would always be there.

So now that Thanksgiving is around the corner my THANKS is my FAMILY, Mom, Dad, Meghann, Brandon, The 3 tikes, Nathan, Wilson I LOVE YOU!!!

i fell in love with a.....

MCKENSIE! this is for you

*warning , i couldnt help myself. i should be in bed and i am not and i read your blog*

JM: it was spring break, i decided to be loser and spend that week at my parents house versus going on vacation with my friends. i wanted to go shopping so i went down to gateway and i sat on a rock outside of Abercrombie and gazed across the street to find my true love. i couldnt stop looking at it, i was in a daze with what i was looking at and it was only outside, i had no idea what they were like inside.

A: i saw this very unstylish girl sitting on the rock across the street, she looked so fresh so... helpless.

JM: i saw them look at me, and i told myself " buck up and go to it."  i was so scared because if i get too involved its so hard for me to let go, to walk away. But hey people get hurt, right? so i got up and walked across the street

A:  I saw her get up from the rock and walk towards me and i began to decided how i could help her, how i could please her...

JM: I stopped just a few steps a looked right at it, took a deep breathe and continued to walk telling myself "just do it!" 

A: all i could think was "She's here!" oh my gosh she finally decided to take a chance with me, with me. she will be so lucky to have me

JM: I was there, and i have never been so happy in my life, i knew i was in love and that i would be forever in love.

A: i saw i big smile on her face as she walked around looking around at me, and i knew that love was in the air.

This all happened in March 2007 when i decided to take a chance with shopping at Anthropologie, and i have been in love with the store ever since!

Just My Luck.....

Today is Saturday November 1st and i have to tell you it feels like friday the 13th, nothing is going my way and the day is not even close to being over. First off, for the last two weeks i have been completely lazy with going into work because like always i forget to turn in my two week schedule, my bad ha. Now today being the last day of the pay period i am currently sitting with patient from 3:00 afternoon (sat) till 7:00 morning (sun) yes i know 16 HOURS!!!! ON MY BADONKA DONK!! and now it is 1:15am trying my darnest to stay awake and all i can think of is how my day has gone so far. Lets start out with the day by sleeping in, i have serious problem when it come to pressing the snooze button on my alarm, i do it so much that after a couple times of snoozing the alarm just turns off. Lucky today i was somewhat a good girl and got up at a reasonable time. After yawning and stretching i went to poor me a big bowl cereal, FYI when it come to cereal  i am a Meek and i have to use a small mixing bowl for my cereal just because my "normal" bowls are not big enough for the Meek appetite and because my milk had the expiration date of 11/1/2008 on it, i dont like to waste my milk. ANYWAYS, as i was pouring my milk my roommate comes to remind me that its November 1st and that means that i owe $350 on my rent vs being $50 less before the month. but she said it in a "HELLO, you are stupid" tone. i just let that roll off my shoulder because i am trying to be good here. we dont need to call the 1-800.biotch line here. So me being a big girl i take my cereal into my room and text my friend caitlin these exact words "oh my, i have a nazi as a roommate, and i dont think i can stand this for very long" after i send it, i start to call my friend Mckensie when i get a text back from my roommate saying "i think you sent that to the wrong person" after i read that this is what i said in my head (*WARNING* THIS DIRECT QUOTE HAS A SWEAR WORD) "Holy Sh*t.........hahahahahahahahaha"  talk about your bad luck. Well unfortunately it does not end there, my brother called me and talked me into to go downtown to help him shop. This is exactly one hour before i had to head into work for my 16 hour shift. As much as i love hanging out with my brother, im not going to lie i felt like his personal shopper, throwing things at me telling me "hold this, fold that, do you like this" I loved it so much that lied to work saying that i had "car trouble" and i clocked at exactly 3:29.......there goes my lunch, but i guess my lunch will be taken while i sleep in chair in a patients room vs actually watching the patient..... hey i am watching him in my dream, that counts......right?

well lesson learned today, 

1. when you text something bad about someone make sure you arent text the person you are talking about.

 2. to not let people talk you into doing something an hour before you shift esp. if its shopping even if it is someone you love.  

3. do not make yourself more than 10 mins late because you will go to H E double hockeys sticks if you lie about it.......and last 

4. do not put yourself in a situation with work where you have to work for 16 hours to make sure you get a good pay check.

                                                       LESSON LEARNED..........ha maybe
