August Fifth

 

Today I had a terrible, horrible, no good very bad day… and it’s not my grumpy week so what’s up with that… I worked 7-3:45… Today being Thursday, we have to do our counts… today was kids shoes… Got the sales floor done and started on the stockroom on all the boxes I hadn’t opened yet… since all the boxes were exactly where I left them on Monday… when they decide to bring up all the rest of the boxes that came in on my days off… I can barely move in the stockroom right now as it is and they want to stuff it some more… I asked if they could wait an hour til I finished the count but nooooooo… And I lost it… I was so mad… and they could tell… the only good thing is since they brought up all the boxes, I got all the kids shoes counted… I finished and went to lunch to adjust my attitude with my cola, chimichanga, peach yogurt and my book…

After lunch I got the signs ready for tomorrow’s ad… and then spent the afternoon opening all the kids boxes since I had them all together from the count… not all put away yet but they are available to stock to the floor for back to school…

I also had no patience for my coworkers whining today either… nobody wants to be bothered with anything, it’s called working…

But before the work day ended I found out that my friend/supervisor for the past twelve years got transferred to another store… she just found out herself… tomorrow is her last day… I got all teary eyed… I miss her already… Her girls go to the same school as my boys… she answers all my school questions since she volunteers at the school all the time…

I’m going to Australia….

Once home and I checked the mail, there was a letter for son2 inviting him to a program going to Australia… it was just an advertisement but I didn’t think it was funny… I’m the one going to Australia…

If you haven’t read the book above about Alexander, he keeps saying he’s going to Australia…

I never did make it through The Lightening Thief last night… Fell asleep at 8, woke up at 9, just as it was going off, the boys turned it to America’s got Talent, I went to my room to read my book, turned on America’s got Talent and the next thing I know everyone is in my bed watching the show… So it was 10 before I got back to sleep… I’m thinking this is why son2 has been so grumpy… we’re getting him up at 6:30am to practice for school starting but he is still staying up late for summer…

I’m feeling better now… After work I had a Cactus Cooler soda and a handful of tortilla chips… checked my email… talked with hubby and son2… son3 did five pages of practice math today and read two chapters in his Prince of Persia book… I made chilli dogs and curly fries for dinner… and now we are watching Smokey and the Bandit…

Haven’t seen son1 yet… he’s off buying his new used tires, four tires for $160… brand new, $850… he was trying to find a place still open that could mount and balance them for him…

It’s almost 9pm, do you think any of us are ever going get to bed early… I have to be to work at 6am tomorrow… so as soon as Bandit is done, it’s everyone to bed….

Happy Journaling…
