Thanksgiving Turkey stuffed!

Monday was not to bad I was in infants all day and ended up alone SHOCKED I KNOW!! Actually this time it was cause the kids went home. Ebony was out so I had Amber who was having serious labor type pains. I hope she’s ok. Tuesday was weird we had no babies I mean we had 4 the rest were out sick that’s 4 really sick babies that were out and one there that got sick that’s CRAZY. So I did breaks in the young 2’s and three’s. Then spent the afternoon alone in the babies, and they were tired, cranky sick crying messes. The bonus is I got off early by 30 min, and I am HAPPY! Wednesday was ok I spent the morning with the older 2’s and the afternoon with infants. I am off work for the rest of the week and HAPPY! Thursday today is Thanksgiving Day and I am VERY grateful for so many things. I am grateful for my family, friends, the country I live in the Savior, nature, I could go on and on, but I am just very happy for all I have in my life. Friday was cool I was off work so I rested the morning and in the afternoon Trisha and I went out to join the crowds of shoppers. It was really good going later in the day the crowds were not that bad. We went to Anthem, Arrowhead Mall, and Metro Mall and got most everything we wanted to get, and the prices were good. It was a fun relaxing day. Saturday was WONDERFUL! I went to the Wildlife World Zoo, and there I was able to do some healing without anyone really knowing. I also got to check out the new aquarium which was totally AWESOME! I got to pet all kinds of things some that I haven’t a clue what they are, but others like starfish and sting rays were awesome. I was so relaxed and happy there, and glad I went. After that I treated myself to a pedicure and manicure and then Trisha and I went about the town shopping. I think we got all or MOST of our Christmas shopping DONE which is so nice less worry. Today is Sunday and I am relaxing finishing up Christmas Cards, and just enjoying how WONDERFUL I feel. Until next week keep smiling and fairy and angel blessings be with you.

New Moon

Monday I was in infants all day and even alone all afternoon again. I am getting tired of being alone all the time, but at the same point I am loving the babies. I’m feeling a little better just slightly down, and not sure why. Tomorrow is a new day things will be better. Tuesday was a long day for me I was down, and it’s not cool. I was also left alone in the afternoon with the kids. That’s fine except there was no real reason for it as Amber did nothing for hour. Frustrated much am I? Yes not only of the fact I’m left alone for no reason, but now I have to do the laundry. If someone has their laundry in the way if I don’t ‘move’ it. It’s my fault. How is it my fault that others laundry isn’t DONE so I can start mine? I don’t know either. I’m just very frustrated, and wish I knew the answer. Wednesday was not bad, but not good. I was in all kinds of younger classes in the morning then infants in the afternoon. I am still down, but not as much, and it’s still bothering me, but I’ll be ok I think now. Thursday was thanksgiving feast at work. Which went really well, but before parents came I had a melt down started crying. I think the stress of everything hit me, and it was just someone said something so stupidly innocently at me, and I fell apart. Ebony my coworker made me talk to her and it helped A LOT. I feel better and am glad she made me talk. Friday was a lot better I was alone in infants in the afternoon which I don’t’ mind, but it’s like why are you doing that? There’s no real reason for it. Tonight I am relaxing and not worrying about anything. Tomorrow is NEW MOON! Saturday I went to HAGS it was nice to see some old faces. After that I went to see New Moon with Trisha, and LOVED it! I am happy with how it turned out didn’t like the ending, but also was aware of it so it works. After that Trisha and I went to lunch, and hung out until Rachel called. Where we Ethan, Rachel, Trisha, Jonathan, Chris and myself all went to see a movie called planet 51, it was VERY cute. It was a funny movie, and I liked not having to rush or think to much because I started feeling sick. Half of my throat is swollen and I got cold. After the movie we went to eat and then home. It was a lovely day all around. Today is Sunday and I am just going to rest and relax and do nothing all day. I am still a little under the weather, but I am doing ok today. Until next week have a good week!

POTO again you bet!

Monday wasn’t to eventful I just felt sick and don’t know why. I am feeling fine now other than my legs hurt, but I will be ok it’s a good hurt. I did spend the morning in the older 2’s rest of the day in infants. Tuesday I spent the whole day in infants loved it as usual. Only thing I don’t love so much is being alone with 8 kids when I should only have 5 cause my co worker thinks she never has to be in the room. We had this discussion before she’s been talked too, but apparently doesn’t care. Wednesday was Veteran’s day, and I am so extremely grateful for the freedoms I have, and enjoy. I am grateful for all the men and women who have who do and who will serve to protect and provide for me. I went to work was told to go home and come back at noon so I did. It wasn’t to bad worked with Joy and the babies. It was a long afternoon since by 3 I was alone cause all kids but 2 went home. It was still nice though. Thursday I spent the day alone in infants. I am still not sure how the heck we are so desperately short staffed, but that’s ok. I am still happy and not worried at this point of the game. Friday I was in infants all day. I think since I’ve talked to Jennifer that’s where she’s keeping me. I had another person with me so it wasn’t to bad. I had a interesting day though. Jennifer has had bad headaches for like 2 years, and today went to see someone about it. They adjusted her, and she couldn’t stop crying. I think part of it is she’s too worried, and the other part is the pain. I hope she feels better soon. Saturday was a nice day all around. I woke up, and it was cloudy and cool, and I relaxed. I wasn’t feeling the best, but it was ok. I got myself dressed went out to brunch, and then saw Phantom of the Opera again. I went with my ticket, and was told to go to the box office. We had been sold ‘phantom’ tickets. So basically our seats did not exist. It was Trisha and I, and we talked to the manager who found that our tickets had been ‘upgraded’ without our knowledge. So we ended up in row 10 instead of 23, and we were center. Basically same places I was last week. It was great to see the show again, and this week they all seemed to do a lot better. I loved the different way the actor took the Phantom. I’ve seen so many times where the Phantom is more of a gentle angelic being. Which at times he is supposed to be, but this man too a different approach and I think it was good. He had it where you could see or understand more where the Phantoms loneliness made him a little more crazy. He was very angelic when he was the angel. He was very tender when he was in love. He was very scary at times with his rage. He even at points was almost child like which I would expect the Phantom to have moments like that. I enjoyed the different take on it. I also liked Raoul the actor portrayed him a lot softer than most to. Most of the time I see Raoul portrayed as a rich ‘pretty boy’ who just wants Christine. This to me is NOT what Raoul is, and this man showed how gentle Raoul truly is. He was her friend her companion her shoulder. He was protective of her, and at the same point understanding of her needs, and it was great to see it. I was impressed with his tender compassion that showed. Christine was ok when I saw her last week she smiled WAY too much. This time around she did a lot better. She was innocent and playful where she needed to be. She was a scared terrified chorus girl when needed. She showed the growing up that happens to Christine and I enjoyed it a lot more than last week. Madame Giry was awesome she is very fun to watch. She’s stern, commanding, scared, concerned, loving protective all in one. Meg I was not as impressed with as I usually am. I know Meg is supposed to be annoying and sorta a busy body, but this lady was too whiney as Meg, and to overly young. The mangers were funny as hell. I loved them these two men together reacted off one anther really well. Last week I had a different Firmin who was funny and more laid back. This Firimin was laid back and more concerned than Andre. Andre was funny to he’s been in the show forever loved it. Piangi was great comic relief as well. Carlotta was WONDERFUL! I have seen this lady do Carlotta for many years, and she’s always funny and dramatic just like Carlotta should be. It was lovely as I expected. After that Trisha and I went to dinner at Outback, and then we just hung out, and relaxed not doing much. It was lovely to just have nothing to do for a change. Today is Sunday and I’m not feeling so well not sure what’s going on hopefully it will pass soon. I am doing laundry, house work, resting and enjoying a relaxing day.

November is here

Monday it was not to bad coming back to work after a week off. I was in all the younger rooms till afternoon then I went to infants. It’s so pretty out tonight with the full moon and the cool weather this is what I LOVE about where I live. Tuesday I spent the whole day in infants. I loved it except the part where I was alone all afternoon cause we were short staffed, but that’s life. I’m so happy and dunno why. Wednesday was a pretty good day except I was alone in infants all day long from morning till close. Not sure why we are so short staffed, but I accept it and love what I get to do. Thursday I had a normal whatever that is day. Only odd thing was getting off later than usual, but I had two teachers with me all day and life is good. Friday was pretty good was in infants all day. Only not so great part what where I had a headache from noon that still lasted even till later in the evening. I came home, and showered grocery shopped and had dinner and it’s still here. Oh well perhaps some rest will kill it. Saturday was a lovely day I spent the morning relaxing, and then Rachel picked me up. We went to my parents and met up with the family. We then went and watched Phantom of the Opera. It was so fun I loved hearing Julie she had never seen any theater show. I was having a blast, and then we went to a really nice place to eat. Learned some great news, and then we went home. Rachel and I went and got Ethan and went to Borders and hung out a little, and then in for the evening. It was a great day! Sunday was a lot of fun Ethan, Rachel, Trisha and I went to the state fair. We had lots of fun just walking around seeing exhibits, and eating food. I had a deep fried tootsie roll it was good. I got some incense and a new CD from Runa Pacha I have heard him life at the state fair. I bought a couple of his CD's so I bought a new one. Its Native American Flutes and pan flutes I love it! We then went and visited the Grabers and then home for rest and relaxing. Have a great week!

Two weeks, Vacation and Halloween

Monday I was in the infant room pretty much all day. Apparently Amber has the flu and will be out all week. So that means infants for me mainly I hope. I hope she feels better soon. Tuesday was in the infant room nothing major happened. Wednesday was a repeat of Tuesday only I was very tired. Thursday was exciting I was in infants all day. It started off with what we thought was going to be observations. Well another schools water main broke so we got 30 kids from that school and 5 teachers. It was interesting for sure. Friday I took a early shift so I could come home and pack for my trip. We are leaving tonight. It’s me, Rachel, Ethan, and Jonathan, and we are going to Tombstone, and then to the cabin, and I will have details when I am back.

My trip Oct 2009
I went on a trip to southern Arizona and northern Arizona with Rachel, Trisha, Ethan and Jonathan. We left Friday, and stayed in a hotel just outside of tombstone. We then went into tombstone, and spent the day there. We visited the worlds largest rose bush, Birdcage Theater, Boothill grave yard and many shops. Our first stop was to Boothill Graveyard this is a place where many were laid to rest after deaths. Some of the deaths were normal fro the 1800’s. The first story I learned was of the first grave I visited of a 3 month old child who died of pneumonia. Her father was laid to rest not far from her for the color of his shirt. The story is that he would come to her grave and grief of the loose of his baby. In order to help him feel better the care taker suggested for the man to buy a shirt. So the father did buy a shirt of color, and many made fun of him. One day he said that if another person made a comment of his shirt he would shoot them. Well someone did make a comment, and he did shoot them, but they shot back thus his death. There were many other stories to go with the graves, but I do not have enough space to write them all. I did get my picture take at the grave site of the three men who died in the ok corral shoot out. I also did take a moment to talk to the china lady at her grave there is a photo of it. From there we went to the worlds largest rose bush. This bush is AMAZING it was brought to tombstone from England. It’s never really needed to be to cared for and it was amazing. From there we went to the birdcage theater. The birdcage theater was opened 24 hours a day 7 days a week. It was a place of women, gambling, drinking and shootings. It’s still mainly in its original state still holding 16 bullet holes. The painting within has her own story of bullets and knifes. She still is in pretty good condition considering. This place is highly haunted, and every time I go there is a experience for me to have. I took pictures, and not much showed up in them. I did see a blue light that I couldn’t find explanation for, and I did get touched and felt a cold presence in the main hall. I went to the poker room where I smelled lilac perfume as well. From there we mainly walked the streets and visited shops. I did make a stop at the Crystal Palace where the energy was VERY high, but no experiences were had. I did get a old time photo taken which was a lot of fun. From there we went to go to my cabin located in Parks which is near Flagstaff. It took us a bit of time to get there because of construction on the road. However once we were there it was BEAUTIFUL weather. We explored Jerome, but were late for the haunted tour we wanted to go on. Luckily for us we were able to go back the next day. So we got ourselves reserved and everything. We got to learn a lot about Jerome. We also were allowed to take pictures of areas and use EMF detector. An EMF detector basically lets the person holding it know when there is a spike of electric magnetic activity. It is believed that in order for a spirit to manifest itself it will gather energy from where it can. We went to a school and I felt that there was things roaming about. I had many spiked on my EMF detector. I got pushed and pulled on, and the guide then let us go inside the building where not much happened, but I did get a photo of a woman that I can’t explain. She wasn’t apart of our group and she was not seen by anyone. We also ate at the Haunted Hamburger it is haunted, and it was a lot of fun. We then went to the Grand Canyon which for me wasn’t a big deal. I’ve seen it and think it’s beautiful, but taking people who hadn’t seen it was fun. It was VERY cold that day, and we went to Williams. I got to visit the red garter and enjoyed food from it. I did have one odd experience I had bought a really cute little rock like charm. I was going to place it on a ribbon. We had stopped near a place where a man had been murdered and never brought to justice. The store was closed, and Ethan was talking to me about how sad it was that he was never brought to justice. That’s when the rock charm fell to of my hand and broke it was like he was saying yeah it sucks. Then we went to Flagstaff and just bummed around and enjoyed the snow no more major activities happened. Just relaxed and then came home

Oct 30 (Friday) I spent the day relaxing and catching up on everything that needed to be caught up. Then I went to dinner with Trisha, and then we went to Rachel’s parents to set up for Halloween.

Saturday Halloween Fun! So I over slept MAJORLY on Saturday morning, but part of it is I am starting to catch something. I hope it’s not a major cold or anything, but I slept a lot, and then went to lunch with Trisha, and we then ran errands getting everything for tonight, and then we went to Rachel’s. We all got dressed up we had Jonathan and his brother David that were wraths. Rachel was a witch, Trisha was a sexy nun, Ethan was the bridesmaid, and I was the dead ‘frozen’ bride with glowing heart. We all then went to Rachel’s parents house where we had a graveyard set up. It was so much fun, and we had A LOT of people come by. Some came back not for candy, but just to play and be scared. Others came back for photos or whatnot. It was a lot of fun, and we went through all our candy. After that we all went to eat and then came home. Hope your Halloween was safe and fun!

Now here it is Sunday Nov. 1 and I am finally back to caught up and ready for whatever normal is. However the Holidays are going to be here faster than realized, and there will be good stuff to come. I am looking forward to seeing Phantom of the Opera this week. Have a wonderful week until next time friends.
