Work

Last night at work my supervisor held a meeting that wasn't scheduled...You know what that means....Something isn't good. So, I was the first one in the room and waiting on the rest of the team and my suppervisor. We found out that a lot of the new hires aren't doing their offers and really hurting us as a team. We're one spot from our goal and down 20% in client rewards, not good. So, last night she was grilling us to see what each person was going to do to make it better. I put my two cents in and said that it isn't motivating having not having games and nothing to pump us up (mind you, I'm not one of those that is bringing the team down, but I'm still not motivated!) So, I shared my experience working day hours last week. I told the team how much fun it was, because they had "team wars" and games the entire time and those games help you do better. You make offers and make money! I even went past one of the brand mentors and told them how much fun it was. I told the team that it inspires me, keeps me up, and it's motivating. So, my supp. looked around the room and asked who'd be in charge of having "power half hour" and no one wanted to, so I volunteered. I see it as a way to stay focused on my personal goals and it helps my pay check as well. :) So, I'm holding the first game when I go in to work today...They'll be right off the bat. It's my job to pump everyone up. Lots of good screaming! (Not that screaming is a good thing, I don't think...But that's the only way you can do it!) So, it was kind of cool. After the meeting we stayed with my boss to figure out a way to hold games, how to do it, what the prizes would be, etc. We're also having a monthly game to try to hold peoples' attention. The prize is a BBQ at the end of the month. Nice! Food motivates me!!!! LOL. So, it should be fun. I was getting tired of the same ole thing when you go into work. It's not like other places I've worked. It's extremely hard to be meeting in all the areas and be on point where you need to be. Things are constantly changing...Especially now with all the sales going on, it's hard to make money. Ugh! Something I shouldn't think about until tonight when I actually go in to work. That's that though. Everything else around here is the same. Jen and Colette, are visiting NM. I haven't seen or heard from them yet though. They flew in yesterday and are probably really tired; vet lag! If you guys are reading this, call me! :)

Small update:

Yesterday, I worked the day shift and it was fun. They had contests and if you hit a certain amount you got a balloon...Let's just say I came home with a balloon. hehe. It was motivating. They don't do that for us night folks. The time went by so quickly, too. I'd rather work days, but there's no way that I could right now. Yesterday, was my make up day for taking off on Tuesday for Charles' surgery. He's doing good now. He's starting to bend his leg and he moves around a lot more. He drove today, too. I was so grateful, because I hate driving. :) The kids are more crazy than ever these days. I think it's the "daddy energy," which is the energy they have when he's home. It's weird. Brevy, is the worst. He's always showing off or doing something he shouldn't be. He's a little grandpa (my dad.) Ugh! They have a birthday party to go to tomorrow. It's Joshua's Birthday and they're invited. This week went by so quickly. I finally have time with Charles and it's already Friday. Where did time go? That's always the way...I work Memorial day, but we're going to have a cook out and enjoy our new back yard. What a week! Mom, keeps talking about us visiting, but I don't know if it will happen. I tell myself to think positive and good things will come. That's all the news I have. It's just been a busy week of running around and lots of house work. It's exhausting, because Charles is limited on the things he can do. I'll be glad when he's back to being better again. He did cook a mouth watering meal last night....SO GOOD! Thanks again, Babe. :)

Surgery

Pretty9 Originally uploaded by Hsandia34.

Charles, had his surgery today and all went well. Today was also my first day of Bible Study. It was nice seeing everyone again and also lots of new faces. We love Beth Moore. Right after Bible Study I rushed home to pick up baby and we flew to the hospital. I left Bible Study 30 minutes early. We ended up being 15 minutes late, but they still took him in. He did great! I waited for hours before I could see him, but I got three days of lessons done, so that's good. The kids spent the day with their Grandma. They went shopping and out to eat;They had a good day. I drove us home and it seemed like it took forever to get here. I hit every red light and was stuck in the 6pm traffic. Ugh. I just wanted to get him home so he can rest. Then, I waited while family went home so the kids and I, could go to Walmart to get some dinner for Baby. What was on the menu? Soup and crackers! That's all his tummy could handle. I hated leaving him, but there was no other way. So finally I got home to cook and I had time to sit for the first time all day at 8pm. I got the kids in bed by 9pm and Charles and I, finished watching our movie. It's been a long day, but I'm glad he's done and can work on recovering. It was just a simple day surgery, but he's got to wear a huge brace and a really cool ice pack. It's pretty neat to fill up. It comes with this little ice holder and a hose. I'll have to take pictures. The things they think of! LOL. We're good and I'm in need of my pillow and covers. It's been an eventful day and I need some rest. Thank you, Jesus for watching over Charles. :)

Yesterday

It was another busy day. We got up early and Charles, got the kids fed and dressed and took off to take his test. I managed to get up and ready even though I was exhausted from Saturday's work and I got out the door 10 minutes early. We drove to get Aiyana. It's such an extremely long drive, but I did it and then all four of us went to church. Church was good. I needed it! This is HUGE! Are you ready?

"The Trap of Love" John 15:18-16:4

What is the sorrow of your life?

I. The World wants us to desire it's business.

John 15:18-19 "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as it's own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you."

II. The world wants to define our happiness.

John 15:20-21 "Remember the words I spoke to you: 'No servant is greater than his master. ' If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also. If they obeyed my teaching, they will obey your also. They will treat you this way because of my name, for they do not know the One who sent me."

III. The world wants to determine how we find forgiveness.

John 15:22-24 "If I had not come and spoken to them, they would not be guilty of sin. Now, however, they have no excuse for their sin. He who hates me hates my Father as well. If I had not done among them what no one else did, they would not be guilty of sin. But now they have seen these miracles, and yet they have hated both me and my Father.

IV. The world wants to destroy our witness.

John 15:27 "And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. "

John. 16:2 "They will put you out of the synagogue; in fact, a time is coming when anyone you kills you will think he is offering a service to God. "

I told you it was huge! "A couple that shares sorrows, cut the sorrows in half. A couple who has joy, the joy is doubled." Stick with your commitments no matter what they are. The world today teaches you differently, because it's changed the standards. What is accepted today, was not accepted 15 years ago. Think about it!

So, like I was saying...Church was good. After Church Charles, went to a meeting at church. He's going to be an Usher. Yep, that's right! Also, my Bible Study is tomorrow. It's "Breaking Free" a Beth Moore study, of course. I can't wait! I thought I wasn't going to be able to attend, because Charles, has his knee surgery, but the hospital just called and they scheduled it for the afternoon; so I can go. I'm also an "in reach" person for the study. If someone doesn't show up, then I call them to make sure that everything is okay and see if they need prayer. I'm excited! Here's to another great Bible Study! Be Blessed!

The silver lining

Yesterday, was the worst day in a really long time. A bomb was dropped on my pretty parade. I was betrayed and abandoned. The worst part is, it was all on purpose. It's a game. An evil game. The devil is walking amoungst us and he's preying on me (or at least trying to anyway). I need prayer and fast. Something so precious was almost compromised. It's funny how one minute everything is going so well and the next minute your world is turned upside-down. It makes you question everything; your purpose, your meaning, everything. What's this crazy life all about? I started thinking. I did everything right. I did everything I was supposed to. Nothing is ever good enough. Why? Ya know the feeling when you just want to disappear..? Not entirely, but just for a little while...To escape the madness, just to breathe. I went outside and prayed aloud. The Lord heard my prayer, but the Devil still walks amongst us. The Lord is the only one in charge and He proves it everyday. You are not in charge of anything. The Lord is! Good always out weighs the evil. I have my faith still. I have hope. I have my God. That's all I need to survive the nasty devil.

Water fun

We planted some plants outside. Charles, got me a 16 inch coco hanging basket and I just filled it with flowers; the kids helped too. They planted their own sunflower seeds as well and It was fun. The workers splashed some cement and dirt onto their slide so I was cleaning it off with the hose afterwards. Of course Brevy was standing next to it and I missed and I got his shorts all wet. I busted out laughing and said, "oops- sorry!" and then I just started chasing them with the hose. I know, I was wasting water, but I pay for it. LOL. It didn't last long, but it was fun. :) We even took Lillian outside with us. She kept crying at the door so we put her in her pet taxi and brought her outside, too. We're working on getting her a leash and a non-break away collar, this way she can play too. :)

Great day!

Marisa's graduation is tomorrow. She's graduating high school and then going into the Navy in August. WOW. I still remember when her and April were putting on Grandma's make up and showing me their clown faces they made and the end less laughter that went with it. April is driving now with her learners permit and everyone is just growing up too quickly. My son starting school this year. THIS YEAR...How weird is that? Isaiah having his first birthday today. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PUMPKIN!!! I mean...TIME FLY'S!!! Everyone is growing up too quickly. It's crazy when you think about all that's going on around you. I'm off of work for the next two days and I plan to take full advantage and just do everything I want to accomplish and not think about that place. Today, was a lot of fun. Charles, was off all day! He made us pancakes for breakfast. We went to get the oil changed in the van and find out why it's leaking. We went to the mall and did a little shopping for the kids; Lucky ducks. We went grocery shopping at good ole wal-mart. Where else?! We rushed home to put it all away. I drove, because Charles' knee is really swollen and driving him crazy. We came home to find some workers in our back yard. They were finally laying down the cement. YAY!!! We finally have our back yard completed. It looks nice!! Then, we went to pick Aiyana up at school and we went to Lonestar, our favorite restaurant and met Marisa there. We wanted to take her out and just say, "thanks!" for all that she's done for us. It was a nice meal and we all had our laughs at our crazy kids, who making eating a normal meal full of excitement (to say the least). We took aiy home and I went to work. (Last time I'll mention the "w" word, I promise). It was a really good day. We never get to spend time together like that. Hopefully that will all be changing soon with Charles' schedule. I'm really hoping and praying so we can spend more time together; we need that! So, it was just a really good day. Now it's late and I should be getting to bed. I'm sure the kids are going to wake me up early tomorrow. More tomorrow.

What a weekend...

I haven't updated, because in my little world things are just completely crazy. I haven't had time to sit down and breathe even. EVEN FOR MOTHER'S DAY!!! UGH...Working all weekend. Saturday was awful. I actually stayed at work until Midnight. I haven't done that in a long time. Usually, they let us go with VTO. No VTO Saturday... It was call after call. You couldn't breathe in between, let alone take a sip of your drink. Mayhem. I am so sick of that place! I feel like I live there. Nothing is ever good enough. It's a challenge. Everything has to be perfect. Your AOS has to be +25.01 above company. You're AHT has to be 300 seconds. Your home and escapes combined has to be 17% and your Olps has to be 16%. Ugh! They expect all of that and barley spending time with the customer. It's hard! If your not up to par, they send you a written warning. It's a lot of crap, that's for sure. So, I was exhausted on Saturday then I had to drive home. For Mother's Day I also had to work. I barley saw my kids, because Charles was back and forth to Jemez all weekend plus I worked. He had his "last" basketball tournament. He's having knee surgery next week and claims he'll never play again. Of course he'll play again...He's so not believing that and neither am I. He loves it! He'd play no matter what, I think! That's good! It's a passion! Anyway, so both Saturday and Sunday the kids were back and forth to Jemez. They got to see G'ma (of course), their uncle Rod and family, and also their naughty "cousins." They had a blast! G'ma Virg, also spent the night at our house on Saturday. They had tons of fun! She went to church with them on Saturday night and also with us on Sunday morning. I didn't want to wake up. It was one of those things were you wanted to go to church, but you didn't want to get out of bed. It was hard, but Pastor had a wonderful message for Mother's everywhere. It was a tearful message, but really good. After church yesterday, we came home and Charles, made all of us a wonderful breakfast. I also got a beautiful cactus/palm looking plant from Virginia. Charles, got me a ton of planting flowers and a huge round coconut hanging planter to put them in. It's really beautiful. It's a huge project that I can't wait to start on. We threw the kids outside, because at bible study they gave the kids horns to blow and make a bunch of noise. I could of killed them!!! Why would they do that to all the mothers? Ugh...So, he was happily blowing is raggedy horn outside waking up all the neighbors. LOL. Oh well...I threw it in the garbage last night when I got home. Shh...He doesn't know! :) So, anyway we were all lazy after eating breakfast and just layed around. Marisa, showed up and brought G'ma flowers. They went shopping and left me and Charles, to take a short nap with the kids. Then, I went to work and he and the kids went back to Jemez for more basketball. I left work at 8:20pm from work, my extra hours were until 10:30pm, but I couldn't take it anymore. It was call after call again. Same as Saturday.Oh well. I plan on looking for something else. I don't know what, but just something else. Charles, had dinner waiting for me when I got home. We just relaxed and spent some well needed time together watching Reba and lounging. We're taking Marisa, out to eat on Tuesday for all her hard work. I still can't believe she's graduating on Wednesday. Aiyana, is supposed to be sleeping over so we can all go together. My body feels like I've been run over by a truck. No matter how much sleep I get, I still don't feel right. Stress can do a number on ya! That's all my news...HAPPY BELATED MOTHER'S DAY TO ALL YOU MOM'S OUT THERE!!

A good, long day...

A day off, what could be better?! It was much needed. Although this week went by quickly, I really needed to relax and breathe. The kids and I, played a lot today. We sprayed down the house and slide and cleaned it with bleach. I still say she picked up something from the yucky dirt that settled on it (even though we washed it before she got the pink eye, there's lots of bacteria in it.) It's now been sanitized and hopefully we will see no more pink eyes around here. We decorated the dive way with new fresh chalk pictures of snakes and mice this time. The kids had a blast laughing at their pictures after they were done. We made cheese burgers for dinner and the kids actually ate them. That's a first time for hamburgers, wow. We ordered a movie on pay per view that I really don't like, but there wasn't anything else to watch. The one day I want to see a good movie, there wasn't anything on. GRRR...It's my only night to watch one, too. I should have went down the street to rent one, but I didn't want to use the van. It's leaking some fluid (again) and it really smells when you walk past it. I think it's getting worse. Charles, is going to drive it to work tomorrow after we take the kids to their dental appointments and after I go to my cafe sale. Hopefully, it won't cost an arm and a leg to fix. I hate to even think of the thought. Tomorrow is going to be a really hot day, 85! I can't wait until Mother's Day. Hopefully, they don't schedule me for extra hours. They're so unfair at my job. I can't call in anymore so everything has to be pre-requested. I requested Mother's Day off, but since Sunday isn't a normal day for me to work they put me on a waiting list. It's a precaution in case they schedule extra hours. *Sigh* It would be so depressing to have to work on Mother's Day. They should make the young girls work that don't have kids. My son said he was going to get me dolphin earrings. LOL. He's so cute. He doesn't have a dime to his name either. LOL. Kids! Oh, I forgot to mention his latest boo-boo...He turned off the refrigerator. Yeah...That's right. Marisa, was watching them on Tuesday. Brevy told me she went upstairs and he grabbed the stool and turned the button off. I noticed today when I went to get some ice nothing but water came out. I thought I hit the water instead (because it is a side by side) and no much to my surprise it was the ice. I opened the door and saw everything had icicles. I thought, "oh great someone left the freezer open." I asked the kids if anyone left it open and they said, "Daddy did!" I call Charles, and ask him and he thought he left it open putting the groceries away last night and apologized. About 5 minutes later I thought, well it's not humming like it usually does. I open the door and look at the button and sure enough it was off. I asked Brevy, "Why is this off?" He admitted to it right away and told me the whole story. I made him call back his daddy and apologize for blaming him and explained the importance of having a cold and working fridge. UGH KIDS! Every week there is something that goes on. I can't leave the house for nothing!!! Eh, anyway...It was a good day. We had a lot of laughs and I did bones' nails. She's happy now! We read our good night stories and I'm glad I get some quite time. Charles, should be home soon and then we're watching LOST! Only 4 more episodes!!! AHHH!!!! Good night!

Sand Storm

Last night was the worst I have seen it in a long time. We had wind gusts up to 50 mph and when you live in this dry state, nothing but fine sand blows. I had to DRIVE IN IT! I was praying when I got to the end of my street...I was sitting there and could feel the van shaking! Shaking! The wind was pushing me as I sat there and I was just rocking! IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING! I thought that was the worst of it, but oh no...Little did I know what was going to happen in the next 10 minutes. So, I started praying and went about my way to work. I got to this one long rode and the visibility was about 5 feet...I could barley see the working truck that was in front of me. You couldn't see anything!!! Now imagine this while your driving. You can't just stop in the road, because there are people behind you. There's no where to pull off on that road, anyway. I was so scared. I just prayed out loud the entire time and I kept saying, "oh my god!" over and over. I put my hazard lights on thinking someone behind me might see that and not rear-end me. I was going like 22 mph on a 45mph road. The truck in front of me saw that I had my lights on and he put his on, too. I was thankful for that, because if he hadn't I wouldn't had been able to see him at all! It worked and we finally got through it. All you saw was sand everywhere. I must have ran over 100 or more tumble weeds. Things were being slammed into the van. I ran over some kind of board that was pushed under the van (no warning, no nothing!) It was awful. The temperature dropped to 30 degrees. I called Charles at work for some extra support. He also wanted me to call him when I got there (I usually do!), but it was the worst thing, ever. People at work didn't even know what was going on. They're stuck inside a building. Three girls were walking out to take their break outside. Security sat there and mumbled as I walked in, "I wouldn't go out there if I had break!" and as I passed I said, "you and me both!" It was just absolutely awful! I don't like driving in the first place. I don't enjoy it! I actually hate it and to drive in something like that...I just never want to have to do that again. It was like out of Hollywood or something. Trees were reported uprooted all over, branches and debris in the road, lines were down and people lost there power...Just awful! I want to move back to NY! :-P~

Pretty17 Originally uploaded by Hsandia34.

Today, I have to take my daughter to the doctor. She's got something going on with her eyes. We're not sure if it's just allergies or what, but every morning when she wakes up her eyes are glued shut. She can't see at all. Charles, thought her ducts were plugged and that's why she was having "gooey eyes." Poor thing! She was a lot better this morning. Of course, because we're going to go see the doctor. That always happens, but I'm glad to see she's doing better. What a week it's already been and it's only Tuesday. :-P~

We just came back from the doctor's office. It seems "Bones" had pink eye in both eyes. Her left eye is getting better, her right eye is still infected. He wrote her a prescription for some eye drops and he said a lot of the time it clears up by itself. Her eyes are already doing that, so he said I didn't have to give it to her until tomorrow morning. Usually in the mornings it's really bad and gooey. Ewe. It took us forever to get there and forever to get back home. We stopped at Subway and that made it all worth while. Kiddies are taking a nap and I'm going to relax awhile, too. Just an update! :)

Beautiful Day

Today the kids and I, spent some time outside. I can't get enough of these beautiful 80 degree days. The sun feels good, there's no wind. It's perfect and just what I need to let loose and forget about the rest of the crummy week that I've been having. I look at my crazy kids and can't help but to think how much they've grown and all the things they can accomplish on their own. It's amazing. I'm not ready for them to grow up. I'm excited for the upcoming vents we have going on. Charles and I, are going to be celebrating our 8 year anniversary on Saturday. Although, we'll only get to see each other for two hours, it will still be worth it. We'll have to celebrate it on another day. Maybe we can go to lunch or just get away from the house for a little bit. That's if they don't schedule me on my day off again. Today, was the first day that I turned on the AC. Days here are so hot that you can't even walk outside...Not looking forward to that. I thought the kids would be more comfortable with it on while napping. I love the fresh air though. Lilly, also likes the windows open. She's crazy these days too. She's always getting into something and making a mess. I'm just enjoying my day away from work. I won't see Charles, until about 9pm. That's how it's been lately we come and go and barely have time to chat. That will all be changing soon (about a month) when his schedule goes back to normal and we can all breathe again. He's always so tired! Work, work, work! Maybe one of these days it will all pay off. Yeah? That's what I'm waiting for, until then we're on this crazy hit and miss schedule. How many more days until August 11th?!

Princess has a fever

Today is my day off. Amen. Saturday ,I worked until Midnight and then they had the nerve to schedule me on my day off. So, I got 4 extra hours from 8-12am again last night. Ugh. This morning we woke up late and Brevy reminded me that the "bug guy" was coming. How I forget these things so easily. So, we got dressed and ate breakfast. After he was done we went outside for some fresh air. I got a chance to talk to my mom and watch the kids play in their house and slide (we just put it together yesterday!) They finally have some stuff to entertain them now. When it was time for the kids to come in Miss. Bones, wasn't acting right. She was fussing and saying she hit her eye one the house. She looked a little weird...Like something wasn't right, like there was more wrong then her eye. I brought her in and washed her up. Her eye seems to be irritated like she's got allergies. We gave her some allergy medicine and a snack. As I watched her, she didn't seem enthused about eating and this girl is always enthused about eating. I asked her, "what's wrong?" she said, she was cold and started shivering. I closed the sliding door and felt her head. I thought, maybe she has a fever. Aiy, was over yesterday and brought her germs with her; as she always does. Aiy, was sick with a cold and I knew she'd get the kids sick. Sure enough...Little princess has a fever! 102.6! Ugh....Here we go again. Will someone pray for us, because there's just one thing after another and THANK YOU, in advance. She took some meds and is napping now. When I get her up I'm going to give her a cool bath and see if it brings her temperature down a bit. I knew this was coming though. We miss Aiyana, because she never comes over anymore. I don't miss the germs though. We had so much fun yesterday. We planted the rest of the plants that I purchased from Walmart. We put together Brevy and Bones' play house and slide. Charles, fixed the break lights on the mini van (YAY! Now I won't get hit from behind!) We got a lot accomplished and I even went to work. At work we have a new beauty boutique. I took one phone call (a good one at that) and my supervisor pulled me off and told me to log out. I was thinking,"oh great...What now?!" Then, I noticed she was doing it to a few people...So I thought, this can't be that bad. She took us to a beauty room and told us to open up whatever we wanted and try it out for yourself. Nice! Free samples and tons of makeup. It was nice, because I didn't have any makeup on so I left looking pretty much together. LOL. I rarely wear the stuff anymore. Who has the time? I sure don't! Oh well, it was fun. We got paid for playing in makeup; it doesn't get better than that. Today, is a mellow day. I'm worried about my princess (she addresses herself as one.) :) I'm sure she'll be fine, just fighting off a bug. We could use some prayers, that's for sure...
