March Twenty Third

angel_season_1_sm

We just had a big storm blow over… Rain, lightening, thunder… and it is so cold… I thought it was spring…

We also just finished watching The Best of the Best movies that I taped from ABC TV last night… we wished we would have heard of the voting that they did for the last year so we could have voted too… we agreed with most of the winners, but would have been nice to see the choices… The number one movie of all time~Gone With The Wind…

We have still been watching lots of Angel, still Season One and last night we watched Castle and Hawaii Five O…

Monday I stocked athletic shoes and worked on the sale tables… scanned the floor for missing displays, went to lunch and then opened boxes…

Monday son1 called to come over to do laundry… so he was over from 4:30-8:30pm… doing his laundry, catching up on all things computer and having dinner…

Tuesday I stocked men’s work boots, went to lunch and marked out men’s mismates…

The store manager stopped in to discuss some inventory numbers with us shoe associates and some changes to processes he wanted us to do and in doing so kinda directed them to me and saying when I was in charge and then tried to back track and say if, probably, I was the new lead… lol… so I’m thinking a bit more that I probably will be the new lead… still waiting til I’m officially told… the manager who is making the decision has been doing over nighters this week so that is why still no announcement has been made…

Tuesday son2 had a tennis match but since Yosemite is closed at the moment due to all the snowy weather  the match was cancelled due to the school that they were playing was Yosemite… he has an away match tomorrow so we’ll have to see if how much it will be raining…

Son3 has been having early days all this week for teacher conference… no conference for him though… his report card: Reading~B, Language~C, Spelling~C, Writing~B, Math~A, Science~B, Social Science~A… After next week they will be having state testing so the teacher said no homework… I am saving the paper she sent home just in case she sends home homework, lol… then they will be on Spring Break… so no homework for the month of April… that will be good so if/when I get the position we can get used to my new schedule… and then we will be ready for hubby to get something too… they are opening a Dick’s Sporting Goods store in the old Mervyn’s building right across from where he worked at Kinkos… so he is looking forward to applying there and hopefully hearing a call back…

Oh, which I almost forgot, Macy’s sent an email saying thank you but we have nothing that fits your needs at this time… so moving on…

Tomorrow I’ll be at The Motivation Station so be sure to drop by…

Now I’m heading to bed as I’m tired… I so enjoy sleeping lately, although no matter how early I go to sleep it feels like I just closed my eyes and it’s time to get up already…

Tomorrow have to count women’s shoes and open lots of boxes…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that tomorrow you will harvest the seeds you sow today. What kind of seeds do you need to sow today, so tomorrow turns into the dream you have always wanted?

On this day, God wants you to know

... that every time you pretend to love, you impoverish yourself more and more. Love has great potential to enrich your life. But if you are just playing a role, pretending to love, it's only going to poison you. Because you are teaching yourself that it's just a game, and slowly but surely you will lose the capacity to open in love.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that gratitude is good. The more you are thankful for, the more you will have to be thankful for. God responds to a grateful heart with joy.

Happy Journaling…

March Twentieth…

The pictures today are of son1’s Jeep from when he was over putting new lights on with yellow happy face covers and he built the stand for his jack on the hood of the Jeep…

There must be thirty little birds all fluttering in the yard from the ground to the fence to the tree and back… playing in the rain and foraging for the last of the birdseed that is left… I’ll refill the birdfeeders when the rain is done… although they are saying rain/showers all week…

I wasn’t able to see the super moon due to the clouds and rain…

Haven’t heard from son1 this weekend… he went to watch professional bull riding on Friday…

son2 won his tennis match at his away game on Thursday… and then stayed home sick from school on Friday, head cold…

Son3 has been working on a practice test all weekend to get ready for state testing next month… 140 questions… he flew through the math section… but the English part is what takes him so long… not that he reads the accompanying stories… he tries to just guess at what the best answer is…

I’ve been keeping busy at work, waiting for them to announce the new shoe lead… Friday I set the ad, changed out sale tables, made three athletic clearance tables, sorted the signs for Sunday’s ad, went to lunch, opened all the boxes, started some price changes and then went 25 minutes past my scheduled time talking to the supervisor when she came in as we are both wondering when they will announce the new lead so she can go to her new position…

Today I set the ad, it was a big take down mostly, went to lunch, opened most of the boxes and already time to go home…

Saturday I just did a few things around the house, the boys were on their games, hubby took Danny for a walk, hubby and son2 have been watching tennis with hubby give him pointers as he used to play and teach tennis, I did a ton of laundry and made chili dogs for dinner… I watched The Switch with Justin Bateman and Jennifer Aniston… It was ok… I think Justin Bateman did a better job than Jennifer Aniston or it was just a better movie for him… Then we all watched Unstoppable, very good, a very simple movie with just a bit of action and suspense… And an episode of Angel… the boys are now waiting as dinner is ready, lasagna, and we are going to watch two more episodes of Angel as the boys are hooked on it…

On this day, God wants you to know

... that when you come to a wall, you can either climb it, or you can simply walk around until you find a door. Don't make life so hard, - look for the doors!

On this day, God wants you to know

... that if you relax, it comes. Don't seek, don't search, don't ask, don't knock, don't demand - relax. If you relax, it is there. If you relax, God shows you the way.

On this day, God wants you to know

... that prayer is real only when done with your whole heart. Reserve the sound of your voice for other people. God hears only what's in your heart.

Happy Journaling…
