More blessings

This week was a little bit of a challenge as I recovered from being ill. I had weak days or days with pain, but over all it wasn't a bad week. I worked with the Infants all week. Some days I had someone with me others I didn't. I said goodbye to a coworker this week. She has to move away to be with family. It's a hidden blessing for her. I also this week was helping my boss when she lost her 2 1/2 kart diamond from her wedding ring. She began to panic, and I started helping her look. I looked around the front desk and in her chair. I knew it had to be up there somewhere. I told another coworker to look as she took care of the two year olds on the buggy. They were cute all saying 'diamond diamond" and looking on the floor as they went. My coworker gently held my bosses hand and said a quick prayer that we would find it. It was no less than a minute later. That coworker was looking under the desk, and used my bosses chair to get up. I happened to look down in the chair. There was the diamond just sitting there as if someone put it there. It was a nice reminder of blessings. This weekend I spent allot of time home alone just enjoying some me time. It is Sunday now, and I'm relaxing and catching up on some more much needed things. Until next week keep smiling!

Blessings are WONDERFUL!

This week as last week was full of challenges. Last week I had late nights, and one of the parents had their car broken into. This week I had some late nights and a staff meeting, and RAIN! I love my job though. I find myself overwhelmed some days. However, when I sit down and look at the positives verse the negatives of my job. I find more positives, and I really find myself happy where I am at. I LOVE working with infants. I am grateful to be back to being in there all the time like I am suppose to. Some days I wish I wasn't left alone without the ratio being right, but that's part of the job. When I look into each of my babies faces I see bright futures for them. I know as they grow and get older they will forget me, but I find a peace in knowing I helped build them into who they become. I feel that first 5 years of life are where you build and grow the most. It's where you really begin to develop WHO you are, and will be. To know I'm a positive role in that for theses children is the bet reward. I find myself so tired at the end of the day, but I also know I have the best rewards. When I see a child learn to hold a pair of scissors correctly or they take their first step. They roll over for the first time they recognize a color. Whatever goal it is they have. To see them accomplishment, and their eyes fill with a light, and joy that only that moment can bring. It stays in my heart, and I am so proud of them. I'm not a parent, but I can understand how a parent might feel. I love everyday I can be tired and grumpy, and some little face will come around the corner and hug me or say I love you and it makes that grumpy tired leave. I think it's the hardest yet most rewarding job I can have at this time, and i wouldn't change it. I am so blessed that Heavenly Father pointed me in this direction so many years ago. I never forget how I got to where I am, and I NEVER forget the one behind it is my Heavenly Father. Had I not been listening to him I wouldn't be so happy. I also know he inspired my father to help push me in this direction as well. Ok, now that I'm off my topic of my job. I will go on to the other things. This weekend was another reminder of blessings I have in my life. Friday I went out to dinner, and was blessed by so much safety. It's not that I'm with ab a bad driver it's just people drive NUTTY here. There was many times where it was a close call, but we were safe. The biggest reminder to me how protected I am is last Saturday when I was out with Trisha. We were at a stop light that was red. We were waiting, and the light turned green and we made sure the intersection was clear. We began to go when this man was about to hit us. In reality he should of hit us, but he didn't. I know that this was a blessing and that someone from beyond was there, and stopped that man's car. I know Heavenly father sends angels to help us, and that day was a big reminder. I was a beautiful scary reminder that my prayers are heard and answered. This weekend was yet another reminder of how much my Heavenly Father cares for me. Saturday morning I work up at about 6 in the morning with a headache. This I thought came from just sleeping wrong. So I slowly adjusted myself and though ok I'll get more rest. I had a training to go that morning. As I laid there I began feeling worse, but i needed to rest so I could get to training. I said a quick prayer took a Tylenol and laid back down. I wasn't able to get to sleep. I got up at 7 feeling very nauseated, and I thought this isn't good. So I again prayed, and asked my Heavenly Father what to do, and for healing. As I laid there feeling like if i moved I might fall over. I felt my Heavenly Fathers arms around me. It felt as if he had taken me in his arms and held me close. Then gently helped me to my side. As I laid trying to get some sleep. I realized I wasn't going ANYWHERE training was just gonna have to be missed. I felt that it would be ok though, and then I heard a man's gentle voice say to me. "call for a blessing. Call your father" so I reached for my phone, and waiting a few minutes, and called my father. I felt bad calling at 730 in the morning, and waking him. From my end it didn't even sound like the phone rang, and my dad's loveing voice was on the other end. It took some time before he could get to me, but I knew once he got to me I would be ok. I hung up the phone and felt a tiny smidgen of relief, and I tried to get comfortable and rest, but it was hard. I then began throwing up, and feeling worse. I found myself going from the cool front room on the couch to my bed. I couldn't get to sleep though I tired. I just kept hearing through it all that I'll be ok once my dad go there. After some time passed my father showed up with my brother. I knew I was really out of it because I only recognized my father. My mother I had no idea who she was at first same with my brother, sister in law and nephew. I felt bad meeting my nephew for the first time when I was so sick, but he made me smile. As soon as I felt my brother's hands on my head to begin the blessing I felt a instant relief. I knew I was going to be ok, and then my fathers gentle loving hands were placed upon my head, and his words began to flow. I KNEW they were from my Heavenly Father, and I began to feel the illness leave my body. I felt so loved, and so cared for, and after a few minutes I felt my vision become a little better, and standing wasn't such a challenge. It was some instant feelings of better. I knew I was going to be ok, and I was able to get a shower, and as I did something popped rather loudly in my neck/back and I couldn't get it to do that for the 3 hours before. I then laid down, and fell asleep. I wasn't able to get any sleep until that moment. I don't know how long I slept, but Trisha came home, and I had been awake for 5 minutes. I felt so much better it was like nothing really was wrong with me. I was still a little weak, but I was feeling so much better. So I went and got some crackers and just ok it easy here at home for a little bit. I felt well enough to go to a bookstore, and then Rachel's. I took it slow, and easy, and kept in mind I needed to go home any moment. However, as I was just relaxing and talking I felt stronger, and better. I am so very incredibly blessed. I am grateful to have such a loving Father in Heaven who I can turn to ANY time I need too. I am also extremely grateful for the priesthood. I am grateful i have priesthood holders in my life who are worthy, and ale to help me. I love my family, and am glad they were here for me this weekend. Today is Sunday, and I am catching up on some of the things I wasn't able to do yesterday, and I am enjoying the peace and love I am feeling. I am feeling allot better still a slight bit of pain, but I feel so much better. Thank you so much for all I have in my life!

AGAIN!?

Ok so my desktop PC died yet again. What the friggin heck?! I didn't do anything to it. It was working fine I woke up, and it wasn't working. Anyone wanna come look at it and get it fixed I'd appreciate that. I am I am able to get it on, and to do somethings, but mostly it just starts and restarts starts and restarts. Oy! This week was over all pretty good I was in the Infant room all week, and it was interesting. Most of the time it was fine even when I was there till 630 with 3 kids. I only had a hard time Friday when I was alone with 6 babies, but I guess can't have it perfect every day. Today is Sunday and I ma catching up on some laundry on and housework. I plan to rest relax and maybe read. Hope your week is fantastic.

August already?

Monday was in the infant room all day and it was nice. Then the afternoon happened, and my boss forgot someone needed to leave early. So I had to work with my boss for a few hours. It was having her daughter in there too that totally threw me UGH. Got off late and am glad today is over. I suffered from a bad case of the Mondays.
Tuesday was awesome for me. I had someone working with me in infants all day. We also had the possibility of two new babies starting Monday. This is great news for me. I may be getting a second helper permanently for now. YES!!!
Wednesday morning was kind of off, but in the end I was in the infants with another helper all day. It was so nice, and I am still pretty happy with things for the most part.
Thursday yeah I know it’s Thursday REALLY. All day today I’ve been thinking it’s Wednesday, and it’s been funny. I’ve been in the Infants and working with someone. It’s been so much fun and so nice. I like when things go how they are suppose to. I am feeling pretty good over all just a little backache and sleepy. I think that’s just cause I didn’t’ get enough sleep last night. However I’ve felt better this week then I have in a LONG time. It’s amazing how much stress can add how you feel.
Friday I was in the Infants all day and it was fun. I was for some odd reason really off though. I felt weird all day, and I can’t even explain it. So it made my day longer than it already was. Over all a good day in the neighborhood.
Saturday was nice day for me. I didn’t do a lot, but I did dyed hair. It was so fun it was like old times. The tree of us used to hang out just us three a lot before marriages and stuff came along. We just remembered the old times, and ended up having a pretty late night.Today is Sunday, and it’s beautiful and peaceful. I can feel the spirit here so much right now. I am so very grateful that I have so many beautiful wonderful blessings in my life, and that I am able to feel the spirit in this home. It’s a comfort to know I can turn to my Heavenly Father at any time and any place and ask for his arms to embrace me, and I get to feel them around me. I am truly blessed and feel highly grateful this beautiful Sunday

Monsoon

So I am feeling a lot better than I was. I don’t know what that little bug was all about, but I feel good now. I was in the infant room all day, and though stressful times came. I didn’t find myself overwhelmed like I was last week. I even got off early today.
Tuesday was a good day I started off not sure what room I was going to be in. I kind of went from here to there. Then I got put in the infant room which was a good thing. My coworker had a melt down, and needed to talk to someone. So I was glad to be there for her, and let her talk. She’s always been so kind and helpful for my needs. I had a relaxing day over all and felt good. I got off like a hour early, and got to go shopping for a few needed items. Still was able to get home shower and have a full night of relaxing.
Wednesday started off waking up in a good mood which quickly turned to grumpy. I had people over still fixing the roof, and they blocked me in. I just kept having one thing after another not go right. I finally made it to work and more one thing after another just wasn’t’ going right. Nothing major just little thing after little thing, and made me cranky. I think the fact I got little sleep last night added to it. Even my afternoon was with the babies, and I still had a hard time. I even got to come home slightly early, and I still had one little thing after another just picking at my day. Moral? You ask the Moral? Never ask Heavenly Father to help you be a positive happy influence to those around you. He’ll try you by placing small challenges before you all day. LOL Sorta like praying for patients yeah it was like that. I am happy over all just glad to be home.
Thursday was a good day over all. It rained super nicely and is still sprinkling as I make this entry. Only thing I don’t like about rain here is no one seems to know how to drive. It’s like all the usual things you do to drive are forgotten. I was almost hit 3 times. I am glad to be home safe and sound . I had a late night too was alone all afternoon, but it was a nice day.
Friday wasn’t to bad over all spent majority of the day with infants, and had a good day. Came home ‘on time’ and enjoyed a relaxing do nothing evening.
Saturday I started off my day by relaxing and enjoying the pleasant beauty and peace I was able to feel in my own home. I enjoyed the pattering of rain upon the roof and did some cleaning. Then I went out and just hung out with Trisha we walked around a few malls and stores. Then met up with Ethan, Rachel and Jonathan and had a BBQ and hung out talked and watched a movie. It was a pleasantly relaxing day and evening.
Today is Sunday, and its cloudy and rainy outside. It’s so lovely when the weather gets like this. I am looking forward to just being home and doing a lot of nothing today. Until next time. Keep smiling, and enjoy the beautiful blessings of your life every day.
