August 2, 2010

Hey Papa.. Today was a Monday. Crappy. Isn't it funny how Mondays got that stigma of being crappy and somehow always end up being such? Spent the day doing yard work. I wanted to go look for a job but I woke up later than I wanted to and then after I got up Shaun had all these things he wanted to do. He was gung ho on getting the yard done but somehow me and Rob were the ones who did most of it. He rode the mower around a little bit then stopped cuz he got too hot.  I worked on bills and dinner too. I applied for a job at Costco today. I hope I get it! They start at $11/hr up to $19/hr!! OMG papa! It would be amazing if I get it. They are opening October 29 so I'm not sure when the actual job would start. So this puts a wrench in things. I'm now stuck with the decision of do I stay at Convergys until then, if i get it? or do I move on to greener pastures because I'm unhappy there? The answer to that should be revealed in the next couple of weeks. When shift bids are complete. I'm still gonna check out the pastures though. I'm gonna text my TL that I have the number for and find out if she can tell me when shift bids will be complete and if she will let me know what I get. 
Mom has to have an MRI done on Thursday on her knee. Dr. Varner wants to make sure that nothing is broken or cracked cuz it's really swollen. They did an x-ray the other night when she went to the emergency room but apparently didn't see anything broken on it. I hope its an open MRI. You know how claustrophobic she is! I wish I could be there for her but I can't. Thursday is the first day of Junior yr for your grandson. It's a tradition that I take him the first day. He's all ready. He doesn't need any new clothes and only needed a backpack for school supplies cuz we have so many cuz we're stocked up from yrs back. But I'm gonna be with mom on Sunday if everything works out. I still wish I could clone myself. Leave the cloned me here and go to Kansas with the real me. I know, not possible but it would be so helpful in this situation. 
Went through the memory box I made and I cried. I'm using that sunflower box that you made for me. You worked so hard on it and wanted it to get just perfect and ended up having to mail it to me cuz you wanted to put one more coat of paint on it. I put some of the little things I found in it. Things I found at the accident, a keychain, some painted rocks you had on the table. Just some little things. I look at them and hold them, think of you and cry. I know, probably not healthy but I haven't been "healthy" for about 6 weeks now. I'm sad, moody, short tempered at times, cry a lot and wish that I could be where you are.  I'd never check out on Rob or mom but there are days that I think that.
Tomorrow I have to go down to the tag office and find out how much tags are gonna be for Shaun's new car. I wish I had known the outcome of my decision before I had put my leave request in. I could have gone to work on Friday and today. I know though that I need this time to get my head clear and find some peace with things. Didn't find much peace today. I was throwing things around in the garage and cussing like a sailor. I was mad about this stupid project we were working on and I've bought Shaun a zillion tools and none of them are anywhere they are supposed to be. His tool boxes are empty and tools are scattered here and there and you are lucky if you find what you need. It's SOOO aggravating! Don't know much else today. Gonna go watch the cats chase each other around my room and bathroom. They make me smile. Watching the little one, Sammy, chase our big cat, Jake, around.. its a sight!  I love you papa. (forehead kiss) Talk to you in a little bit.
