welllll

Well I have some great news!!! I went to a loan officer yesterday, and in six months I will be looking for a
 home to purchase. I already found one on the outskirts of kingston that I really really like. Hopefully it will still
 be for sale in six months. The way the market is now it is a great possibility that it will still be for sale,  i am
 really crossing my fingers. I am looking everyday at listings im so excited. I have never been one to praise myself but when I heard that loan officer say your almost ready I felt happy for myself. I have two new additions to my family, yep two four legged babies. There names are bella and edward, no i didnt name them. lol... I got them for my fiance for his birthday, which is not till april 21st but I had to go ahead and get them...

My baby was sick sunday and monday, poor little thing. He had a little infection but was put on antibiotics and
 he felt better by this morning so Im glad of that.

 Work is all the same closing five nights a week.. and now we are closing at 1 so that puts me outta work
 around 330 am.. How fun... Couldn't be any more anxious to get my degree and move foward with my career aswell as my wedding and my new home purchase.. I hope to be outta school and have a great career before my baby enters school.

Should I go to HR on my boss : )

            So, around four months ago my store got a new general manager. Every since then it has went down the drain whole. All of our crew including crew that have been there for ten years are quitting, so this leaves a bigger ratio of people that have only been there a couple weeks and are not fully trained. My district manager is asking why I am not making our service time goals. How can I? So my gm has been harassing me about firing me about every little thing. Service times the most. She sticks the very few old crew on her shift and gives me all new. So I let that slide because I am a strong person and do not need to talk back and loose my job. So her rant is that we have to be clocked out by a certain time every night. This includes our Friday and Saturday nights, so me along with eight crew members have been forced to work off the clock at least three days a week for almost 2 1/2 months now. I make a good amount of money an hour considering i am an assistant manager there, so I could only imagine how much money I could of made if I added up all this from 2 1/2 months. How many diapers I could be buying. I am afraid of going to human resources because I don't my district manager to think that I have went over his head. I've tried to talk with him and he tries to avoid conflict and just keeps telling me to try to stick it out. I want to go to human resources for more than just me though. She made a crew member come back the day after their dads funeral saying "You will be fired if you do not come in Sunday." How disrespectful and non understanding is that. She is also messing with my schedule as well, my position is suppose to include two opens one mid and two closes... She has me scheduled all closes and this really effects my school when i am there till 2 or 3 am then school at 8. The shift manager which is under me chooses her own schedule. Please help, I do not no what to do.

Well this is how my spring break went.

On Monday, I went to work from two to one thirty a.m. This was my last day of work, because I took my work vacation on the same week as my school spring break. I started the day out so excited that I was finally going to have a little break. Then I walked in the door, and yep another great day at Wendy's. I was two people short for the night. No Call-No shows KILL me. So, I ran a very fast paced fast food restaurant with only four people, including me. However I finally made it to one thirty and I was free for a week.

On Tuesday, I completely cleaned my house. I baby proofed every thing with the little plug in stoppers and everything. My baby is trying to learn how to crawl and will be getting into everything. So, for a better part of the day I scrubbed, swept, mopped, vaccumed, and everything else imaginable. Then I took alittle break and went to town. Im already buying stuff for my sons first birthday and it isnt till July, ( :) )...

On Wednesday, I took my son to the Georgia Equarium. This was so much fun. Whale sharks are huge!! I loved it, and so did he. He loved the tunnels with all the fish swimming over head. We were here for a better part of the day. Then just went home and relaxed and played with toys for the rest of the evening.

On Thursday, I went and spent the rest of my tax money on stuff that we would need throughout the year. Also, had to get camping equipment for our upcoming family camping trip.

Friday through Sunday, was just a blur. It went by so quickly, I don't even know where these days went to be honest. My baby and I just sorta sat around the house.

This was my lovely spring break with my baby

The past 4 days uggghhh...

So around last week I started to feel a lot of pain in my stomach and in my lower back, but I sweated it out... 

So last Friday the pain got worse and I couldn't hardly stand up straight, but the stubborn self that I am worked through it and just got off and went to bed..

Saturday I was fine again..

Sunday my best friend whom works at a different wendy's location came to ours to help us out, i was so excited that I was getting to work with her again... But I woke up kind of dizzy. 

As the night progressed and the time came to around 7:15 I was in the office in the floor with my head against my knees the whole room was spending... I called my fiance to take me to the hospital..

So he came and got me and we went to Gordon County E.R.. 

              They sent me home diagnosed with stress related Migraine and dizzyness, and a work note to be absent for a couple days...

BUT then I woke up on monday I was so weak I couldnt even stand to get out of bed... DOES THIS SOUND LIKE STRESS TO ANYONE LOL>.....

So I was rushed back to the e.r they did all kinds of blood test and a urine test..  By now I haven't been able to eat or drink in a day and a half

I then had the better explanation for my symptoms all FOUR explanations.... 

                 1. Veritigo- Which my mom has severely

                 2.  Virus-throwing up everything even fluids

                 3. Dehydration- from the virus

                 4. And a infection, so severe that its almost really effecting my kidneys- this was causing my back and stomach to hurt

What a week..

Then I tried to return to work on tues and my boss told me "You have to do the schedule!" 

Our schedule is done on a bar graph like a puzzle almost...

So it tripped my Vertigo again.... YAY

THEN went to school on wedn and its midterm time!!

WHAT A WAY TO SPEND FOUR DAYS!!  : )  : )

Funky Picture From Class

Wow! what the heck is this!

In class today we were shown a picture of, well thats the problem im not quite sure lol?

It looks like maybe a mascot (my favorite color) of some sort. Maybe a traditional holiday costume of some sort, Maybe a memorial, im not quite sure but it looks like a very litte picture of someone on the bottom part of it....

Alot of graffiti in the picture this makes me believe that it is taken in the bad part of town.

hmmm... Leaves you guessing...

Maybe Mexico perhaps...

Valentines Day...

My Valentines Day!

 Well my day didnt exactly go the way me and my fiance planned it... We were planning on going to see "the vow" but we got behind on time...

I got up at 6:30 and got ready to go to work... Got to work at 7:30 and was behind from the moment I walked in the door, but I seemed to get every thing done by the time we opened at 10:30..

As you know from previous post I work at wendys, so lunch on Vday was sllllloooowww sllllooowww slllooowww, nobody out that day at least not at fast food I guess.

So two thirty came around and the other manager came in so I came on home...

Then I played with the monster for about an hour and a half by then it was almost 4:15..

Knowing that the movie started at 7:00 we dropped the baby of with my mom, and headed to steak and shake in acworth, I had a craving for a milkshake : )...

We stood in line for almost 25 minutes and then waited to be served and get our food for almost 30...

So needless to say we were way behind schedule so I told him lets go do something else since we wouldve been late to the movie so we drove all the way to kennesaw to us play, guess what they were remodeling so all the arcade games were being replaced and a 40 minute wait for bowling so knowing that we had to get the baby at 930 I was like well this wont work either...

So we headed back down the interstate to look for something to do and finally I just said lets just buy a movie and take it home... SO this concluded my vday, but every minute spent with my fiance and my family is a cherished moment SO it was a wonderful vday!!!!!!!

My thoughts

                     What makes a confident and outspoken person? I was raised in a family that didn't
believe in spankings and punishments. I learned my values from my mother. My head was always
in a book, I never had a group of friends, larger than about five, in school. We were taught how
to be smart and look towards our future. I wonder sometimes if this is one reason why I am shy
and sometimes afraid of life though.I never went to a party or experienced the sleepovers most 
kids do. My head was in my studies and my future. Then my mom took me out of public school
in the ninth grade and I started to homeschooling. This, while suppose to be helping me, made
me have an even bigger wall up. Entering college last year, I was scared to look up as I walked 
through the halls. I may have came off as a rude person because I didn't talk. I started working
fast food, this has helped me a great bit. This is the only thing good about working in 
fast food (smile). You are around tons of people each and every day, so you learn to
talk. Then last year I had my son. He has made me realize that If I keep acting like 
 the world is a scary place, he may think the same. I want him to have the best life he 
could have. Being sheltered and scared of anyone and anything is not what I want for him.  
This semester started in January and I have already made a few friends in each of my classes. 
This encourages me to be more open and learn that it is okay to speak to others. I think my 
biggest problem is my self confidents. I don't like the way I feel about myself so sometimes
its easier to hide. I want this to change about me. You should love yourself the way you are, 
because you are unique. My fiance has helped me a lot with my confidents. I love him for that. 
You have to love yourself and be comfortable in your ownskin before others see you 
that way.
