what a week!

okay, so monday i worked for jamie 12-8:30, worked the 4th from 6:00-2:30PM, and worked 12 hours on wednesday 12-12..insane i know.

i'm surprised i'm still awake now..oh well, i'm off today! wooohoo! its just been crazy at work, we were so slow the beginning of the week, then day after the holiday came it was mad busy! i was a lil upset b/c my supervisor took on a different team :( , which is cool b/c she's trying to get into upper managemnt, but we had just lost Dennis to a different team like 2 mos back..so its a change again. change i gotta admit is good, yet sometimes really scary!
well, on wednesday i wanted to do my career map cause i'm trying to get into a different dept and if i don't, then i'm looking at other options. i'm getting bored with what i'm doing so i need to venture out. i'm very thankful for having zoe as my old sup cause she really made me think about a lot of things. what options i had within wells at the NBBC or else where. i appreciated that one on one with her.

well, i'm soo looking forward to having this day off today.. i have homework though uggh!
GOOD NEWS: i have an interview on Monday!!
i did my career map today and it was great, i had a rough day off on thursday, but just went through today as any other day. it was great to see what the dept does and kinda go over what things are important. i was wondering if i was gonna get an interview cause the app closed june 16th..and when they had told me that they were gonna interview sometime next week i was thinking more like after tuesday but i have mine between 2:00-2:30, and i'm soo nervous.
pray for me! i hope i get it though..
it would be a big change for me..i would be going back to days, and doing something totally different. which is nice cause like i said i'm getting bored with what i'm doing and that's not always good. i had a somewhat mock interview w/ dennis which totally made me think of what to say and do during the interview. so MSB here i come i hope!
i have homework to go thru their VL and their requirements so a whole lot of reading for me to look forward too..i have to think of scenarios too so that i don't blank out, gotta get this info down and put it all on a card.

well, other than that i've just been working, paying house bills. all utilities were due so had to get those payments out. o and i got really dark from GA..oh man! like totally obvious! haha..okay gotta catch some z's.

Great America

oh man, i'm way like a whole week later...i've been soooo busy and soo tired. i totally had a funky schedule this week. starting with sat last week, i worked grave fro 10-6:30, off sunday and went to great america w/ Tuan's sisters, jason and his neice. no kind of sleep what so ever.

it was pretty cool going back there. its been a while, i wanna say like over 6 years i think. i think the last time we were there was like sometime after high school, or before i graduated. hella days! it was nice cause there was no lines what so ever..and for a holiday weekend i was expecting more people.

the trip was good until the last part. i lost my camera :( i was more sad than upset b/c the day prior was lisa's baby shower and i didn't get a chance to download the pictures. it would've been nice cause i wanted to make her a scrap book as a keep sake. the games were okay..i was a lil irritated cause a lot of the kids wanted to play when the games were meant for the adults..but its all good. i know someone's out there enjoying my fugi film fine pix model a330..argg!!
oh well, i'm over it..i'm due for a new camera but don't know which to pick. i'll look around tomorrow.

the rides were crazy, nothing new we road on..just went on vortex, inverdigo which was soo hilarious. ning and i were trying to touch feet hahaha..and we rode the grizzly i think that's what its called, demon and that's it..played a few games..i won a tiger! woohoo...for aj and tuan won a monkey curious george..after GA went to jasons house and i was knocked out. i was sooo tired cause imagine working grave and then going to GA the next morning..and hosting baby shower games the day before..oh mun!

but it was fun, what was cool was that we got free season passes so we're probably gonna go back w/ the lil kids before summer's over..and we only have to pay for them which is nice..it'll be like 60 somethin, cause AJ's free! well that was sunday....

MY EVERYTHING

Introduction

I know this should have been the first blog, but oh well, here I go...

A lil bit about me...hmmm..lets see..just living life to the fullest right now. I've got a daily routine, pretty much what happens during the week, especially being married and having a child. I have a great husband Anthony and beautiful baby boy AJ. Both an inspiration to my life. Without them, I don't think I'd be anything but helpless. They keep me going day by day...especially AJ...he's almost two and I still can't believe it. He was born extremely premature and came on my birthday. I was anticipating a prime rib dinner out in the City, yet I got a baby who came four months early..yes..and he sure made it.
It was a hard 96 days to watch him in the hospital but he sure showed those doctors and nurses he was strong. The pregnancy definetly brought us (Anthony and I) much closer, should like any other couple, or most..but during the time we were pregnant..there was mad drama..we were moving out of his sisters house, we finally got our own place, was trying to look for another job, and trying to not stress while I was pregnant wasn't the easiest thing to do at the time..so i felt.
well, everything worked out great...so far..but what i've learned so far..is that we go through obstacles and when you think that we've finished going thru the challenge, its not yet over..another has to come. and you either face it and deal with it or turn around, look for other alternatives which can cause havic and more drama which you definetly want to avoid.

anyways, hmm..getting back to intro..i guess you can say i'm one of those type of people who stay happy and look at things around me that keep me happy. looking for distress causes pain and drama, which i've learned to let go of. i don't focus my world totally around me cause that's just vain, and hella ugly! i'm simple and like a lot of things, but i know of what responsibilities i have to take care of. my family comes first, always all the time! work is important..because it pays the bills and puts food on the table. education is important because it helps keep the mind going, but learning is more than just school and books, its knowledge gained from others to help you learn how to improve in a goal or yourself. i like to keep things organized, i totally have a planner for each year ( oh mun!) its funny..i so get a new planner from Wal-mart or Target by mid november whenever the new year calendars come out to make sure i write down events for the following year.

(yawn) okay so i'm starting to get tired..i made it till three..oh muhn tomorrow is gonna be soooo hard..
Sorry wieght watchers, but tomorrow I'mma get me my tall non fat white peppermint mocha extra hot!

The beginning

okay so i've been meaning to start this, but i guess didnt take the time to do so. so here i am up hella early, can't sleep, been planning for my sister-in-laws baby shower..and trying to get use to being awake. I work real late tomorrow, from 10:00 to 6:30, i'm hoping i can do it..just keep telling myself "you can do it".

things to do for tomorrow (or actually in a few hours)
1. nail appointment w/ Anna @ 9:45
2. don't forget to begin the day w/ a good breakfast..add the points on ww track sheet
3. buy some jelly beans for the baby shower game
4. possibly drop off Jaden's gift to Dennis's house, if time given
5. go to Baby shower, it starts @ 2:00

(sigh) another weekend full of running around. it'll be a busy one too. it's the holiday weekend and i kinda wanted to just relax and stay home but i guess we're going out of town on Sunday too. oh mun, i think we might be going to Great America. haven't been there in days! Bubba wants to take his sisters out and our neices to have some fun for the holiday weekend, cause i'm working on Mon, and working OT on Tuesday, and Wed, and finally get my day off on Thurs. So we'll see, we'll see, dont know what's happening yet..i'm looking forward to getting my nails done tomorrow, contimplating on getting a pedicure too. we'll see we'll see..
