June already

I can't believe it is June already. Happy 21st to Scott in just a few months Matt will be 21 too. I feel so old. Work is ok. The big people came in from North Carolina. Spent about half and hour at my store. They flew in at 9 and back on a plane by I would say 1. What a life. I put in 52 hours getting that store up to speck. Oh well that is why they are corprate. I am not. They are trying to get me a bigger store. This one is small and falling apart around me. I have two people leaving this month. Never sure about anyone else. Matt and Monzie came and changed my lights for me and ofcourse flirted with the girls who work for me. I hired 2 guys this week. So now the girls have to show them up. They are all kids to me. I am old enough to be all of thems mom. But some of them I would ground if they were my kids. Whyatt got bike arm burn this week fell in the drive way. Seth I hardly ever see and when I do he tells me to go home. Or ask me how jail is. Only because at the store there are no windows and a gate that comes down when the store is not open. I had to congradulate everyone at work for all the hard work they did this past week. When we need to pull it together they do. I just wish we could keep it pulled together then it wouldn't take us a whole week to get it back there. Congradulation to John and Becky I am now a evil step grandma. Walter is a grandpa 4 times now. Tom and Walter keep everything together her for me. I don't know what I would do with out the two of them. The kids are getting lazier but they run alot for mom so they get out of everything else most of the time. Cheyanne is mellowing a little bit. I miss being with her. I love it when she calls me at the store because she just misses me. I miss her too. Whyatt only calls if he wants something. I miss being with him to but I never could keep up with him and he know it that is why I call him ricochet rabbit. Mom normally is upstairs watching tv or sleeping when I get out of work. I hate working nights. But it is only two nights a week. I try to give everyone a set schedule but ofcourse that never works. My boss has had me redo my schedules at least 100 times. Mostly because we have been loaded with inventory one week my regional came in one week and then the corprate people. So it has been real fun this past month in a half. I wish they would get the other store and get it set by back to school sales that would be great. Perfect time for it. Well I have to see what is going on today with the truck and who is going where and all that stuff. So I better get going hopefully things will start calming down now so I will be back on more.

Things that happen

This week really blew. And I don't mean by. I went to work Monday and my boss called tell me she is going to write me up or supend me for yelling at a customer. And using swear words. Stupid me says who me. Then she proceeded to say or maybe she would do something else and I said when did I do this. She said oh Thursday. I had to remind her that Thursday is my day off and that is the day she told me to take off. Thursdays I mean. So we came to the conclusion it wasn't me after I defend myself. So she said well who would use your name. I told her I didn't know. But what happened is that the customer asked my employee the name of the store manager and she gave him my name. So he kindly used it because he didn't know hers. But she didn't swear at him she said and I quote " I am not f____ing waiting on him he gave me a hard time last time he was in here. For which she said it to the guy that works for me. The customer heard her say it and freaked. He threaten to kill her and a bunch more which is where I came into it at all. He asked for my name and then decided he wanted the corporates number. For which he called and got me into it. But to this day my boss has not said sorry to me or for this grief you have suffered I will give you a raise. Instead she pops in when I am not at work knowing that is Thursday is my day off too. I just can't win. She had me make schedules for 3 weeks and then came in and messed with them. Why she didn't make them herself is beyond me. She tells me I over schedule people and in the second breath tells me I need to hire more people. I say use what I have. Guess not. I just don't know what she wants. I didn't hear she lowered my hours. Well I am done venting. Later.

Tired

I feel so tired out I know that I should be back at storage. But it has been two months since I just stopped. I have to get stuff put away here. I know I have a dining room table but it has been loaded down since it got here. Laundry to catch up on. Walter has been doing most of it. Plus everything else here. Tom does the dishes and helps the kids get there room cleaned. I go and deal with the babies at the other place. It has not been that bad of a week. Busy and quite. No real fighting. I still haven't figured out how I got a mall job. Everyone knows I hate the malls. I feel alone most of the day long. I know no one in this area. And nothing about it. Walter goes out during the day and goes to different places. I don't even know what is in this mall. The only time I have gone any where in it is for work and when Matt, Carrie, Crystal and Monzie came down. I tried to get Seth to come down and walk the mall with me. But he don't like to go anywhere. Got to get him some clothes. Probably when and if my money comes. Still looking for a single and bunk beds. Not as easy as I thought that was going to be. I hope today is going to be semi nice. I really would like to go out in the yard. Even though Cheyanne seen a snake yesterday. Scared her so bad. Not Whyatt. The landlord told us we could have a dog. But we have to sign a paper that it is our responsiblity. If any thing I want a puppy. We haven't told the kids yet. Also she thinks the pool is still good so we can put it up. But not sure yet. To cold still for it any way. I didn't see the warmth I was in the mall. There is no windows where I am and a bar gate reminds me of something. I don't know. Jess came to visit me at the mall. That was fun. I think that if I knew what I was doing and I had people who wanted to work. Plus the store wasn't falling apart. I have 6lights out and waiting for my lights to come in because no one before me ordered more. Our vaccume is busted. One mirror is broke and now shelves are falling on customers. The toilet clogs more often then it doesn't and the plunger is cracked so it works like crap. But instead of giving me the new store they stuck me with the one falling apart. Well this isn't what I wanted to do either so I am off. Hopefully soon things will look up.

Feb. is almost over and still no sign of spring

To all the rest of the Jan. birthdays I forgot happy belated. I can't believe Whyatt is 10 already still there is no slowing him down happy belated. Also Harry celebrated his birthday. And a very very Happy Belated to Cora. I don't know of any anniversaries for the month. But if I left any out the brain don't work like it use too. For any one that hasn't heard because I am so so excited I got a job. So from now on every one has to come and get shoes from me. I start in two weeks unless I can get to start earlier. I am still working that out with the boss. I am not sure I want to move to Utica but it is as good as any where. I will let every one know what happens. Don't any one be surprised if I start calling in people to help us all move. I think what this landlord did sucks really bad. Carrie really loves this place and I know how that feels to get in a place and want to stay forever. I just want my stuff it has been so long since we have seen most of it. Two or Three Christmas stuff that we never even got to enjoy. Because it has gone to storage. And that actually was before we moved in to Romeyn Ave. Well I will keep everyone informed as I know what we are doing right now I am clueless.

I can't believe that January is already more than half way through

I can't believe that January is already more than half way through. Happy belated birthday to Asa and Billy. Billy turned 18. Well what is up with me. Roger has his surgery on Wednesday and I pray everything goes well for him. Asa is in North Carolina and I miss him even though he is still not that far away. I am scared to death to go see a surgeon on Wednesday for my biopsy. I just can't wait till it is over. I still don't know if the tumor has gotten bigger or if they just want to know. I just know I am sick of mammagrams and ultrasounds. They make me hurt every time I get them done. Seth has an interview on Tuesday and I hope he get the job. I know he will still have to pass the physical to get the job. But even if he thinks he won't pass it I believe he will. If I have been in a crappy mood to anyone lately I am sorry I am just nervous. Well till after I find out more.
