like I said...

So-- remember yesterday how I said that i'll plan for something, then something else happens, and I end up not having time to do something else ( or something like that..) well today was that again! I said I'd have time after work today- but let me tell you what happened:

1:20pm- find out Dad needs the car to play games at his friends house , I call Amy- she's working, gets of at 5:30 and she says she can drive me home after work at 6 
6:00pm- finishing up some stuff at work getting ready to clock out. Amy texts and says she's at walmart and to meet her there. as I make my way down the mall, I pass by my other job, and get some news that is I guess currently a secret (not the good kind) which I shall reveal probably tomorrow or Saturday. Finally I make it to walmart by 6:15 ish
6:30pm(ish)-Amy and I eat supper at Swiss Chalet (and I had nothing with chicken in it haha)
7:30pm- get home and get ready to go to the movies with Jade (who had texted me about this as I was making my way down the mall hall)
8:50pm- we go to the movies (The Lucky One- pretty good. WAY better than I was expecting. Zac Efron is kinnnnndof amazing :P 
11:15pm- I get home from the movies, and am now blogging. 

So I didn't have time to make my blog good.. sorry AGAIN I don't work until 5 tomorrow- so here's hoping.

Mom and I take turns in the morning (mom more than me- I have a hard time sometimes differentiating between dreams and reality haha I'll dream that Mom knocks on my door to tell me that she's going , or something.. and so I just don't get up in the morning. It's weird haha) we go to the nursing home where nannie is; to feed her breakfast. She can't really do it on her own anymore, and there are so many residents that need help being fed, so Mom and I just go to help out. She doesn't talk much. Sometimes I can get a few smiles from her, and a wave from the window. You always hear some interesting, or hilarious comments from the other residents. 
I'm going tomorrow morning. I feel blessed to be able to spend time with her, even though she isn't herself anymore. I have to keep reminding her when she won't eat that she LOVES food!! she used to have eggs and porridge every morning (to my knowledge) and she still has them for breakfast, and I tell her she used to  eat them all the time. I try to tell her about my day the day before. She almost never responds, other than a little smile here and there.

Well, I'm going to go sleep so I can be not dead when I have to wake up to go feed her. :)

Hopefully tomorrow will be better and more interesting for blogging :)

day 2 in a ROW! I rock!

So, 

whenever I think I have time- something comes up, and I don't -SO I didn't make my blog cool yet. Sorry. I will try tomorrow after work. I don't work late, and I don't have anything planned for after.

Today I had off, and was going to go to lunch with the Elders. Elder Tongish had never been to Jungle Jims.. and that's the best place EVER! so we had to go. Then I got a call from work asking if I could come in for a couple hours... and who says no to money? not I! so I made lunch earlier, and went to work at 2. 

Lunch was fun though. Jadie was supposed to come , but she couldn't. So it was just Amy, Steve, Elder Tongish, and Elder Neilson, and I. 

Then this evening I had Seminary. and YAYYY Jacob came!! So I had TWO students! haha
It's pretty disappointing when they don't come. April is a trooper and She's always there! I definitely don't think my students are bad because they don't come. it's not like i'm judging them and thinking they're terrible. I'm just disappointed, cause I plan a lesson that I'm excited to share with them, and I think about each of them as I prepare, and there will be something specific for each student that I think will be good for them- and they don't come.. So Jacob came 2 weeks ago, and then this week too- I was pretty excited!! Although, I didn't even teach the lesson tonight! They had questions, and we talked about some pretty interesting/cool stuff. I thought it was good - and if they're interested, then mission accomplished!

I'm super blessed!
-I got more hours today, after I'd given up some on saturday for my other job..so I made that up.
-I had 2 students!!
-I got to do some service.

Its funny- today something happened and I thought "sweet! a blessing for my blog!" haha and now I can't remember it. Sad.

Well, people who read this (probably like 2 random people that accidentally clicked my blog link instead of the one above it ) I promise I will get more interesting. I will even add more pictures. I have to remember to take some! Tomorrow will be a good picture day (hopefully)

Good night peoples. 

Blog-makeover

Ok- this will be boring-ish

I was all excited to change my blog around and to post an awesome and positive post.. but I am SO tired!!
The template isn't exactly what I want, so that will be changing again, and I want a picture for the top of the blog.. I haven't decided which picture yet though.
I was off at 9pm. I was training a girl to close the store. Poor girl- her first time, no her second- closing shift. and it went horribly horribly wrong! We had 1 sale the whole evening, and the reciept didn't print. So we had to print it off of the computer printer o it was on a piece of paper which we cut to look more like a real reciept..  THEN when we were closing.. we were alllllmost done, and the reports were coming out blank!! we didn't get out of the store until almost 10! Poor Jess is terrified to close the store now. :(

Before all that non sense happened though- we talked the whole shift and she's pretty much the awesomest! she was talking to our manager on the phone, and she sounded a little strange- like she had a hint of an accent. Then when she got off the phone I said (and I can't BELIEVE this came from my mouth!! I was not thinking!!) "Do you have some kind of accent?" haha like SERIOUSLY!?! she very well could have had some speech issues since she was little or something and I without even thinking ASKED her about it!! She said she did, and was shocked that I could tell. She said she tries really hard to not have one. I asked what accent it was. She said she's from Scotland! it was soo awesome talking to her after that.. and I told her about how bad I felt immediately after I asked her about it, and told her my thought process. She thought it was funny and decided next time someone asks her, she's going to say she just had speech issues. lol

ANYWAY, so I want to be more aware of my blessings, and recognizing them.. so I want to write on my blog everyday about the blessings in the day.. however big or small :) it will also include life stories like always :)

Well, peace out for now! I will write tomorrow.

Blessing today- I had schedule probs with my two jobs.. and I felt terrible about it, cause I'd be inconveniencing SOMEONE by not working at one place (i was double booked) but then I figured it out so that it wasn't super bad.. and I feel good about it :) SO, Heavenly Father loves me, and he loves to help me out even when it's just a little job trouble.. He wants me to be happy, and He certainly helps me to be that! :)

good night all :)
