Happy Birthday David

So I have worked at Seven Peaks since the beginning of May and it was finally warm enough to come swimming here! It was so fun! I loved Boomerrang and Free Fall! I want to come swim here again. Thanks family for coming that was awesome! We didnt get any pictures but Melinda, Mikell, Jessica, Jackson, Carson, David, Jordan and Marcus all came to play.

We ate lunch at Pizza Factory and David got this cool pizza in the shape of 14 for free!!

summer lovin

Mikell, Melinda and I went to Marcus's baseball game.
Marcus is getting so big! and did a great job. How old will you be Mikell? I will turn 2 in July! She is so cute and so smart!

Marcus is a good uncle! Thanks Mel for cutting my hair! I love it.

What century do we live in? Well apparently the 17th century because I had to wash my clothes by hand! The washing machine is too loud at night and I cant do laundry when Im not home for the entire cycle. So thanks Jess I'm going to start doing it at your house :)

I love my job! I love the people I work with. I need the weather to warm up so I can go swimming!! I learn so much doing customer service and public relations.

Help or Hinder

When I was a little girl my mom would always ask- are you helping or hindering? Because sometimes I butt into peoples lives and try to give advice and solve the problems. Or I try to clean up and maybe someone isnt done using the items yet. Well I cant say that I'm always doing something great but I can say that I dont normally deliberately do things to piss people off.

Living with my grandma has been interesting. SOmetimes I question myself- am I more of a help or a hinder? Somedays I feel helpful because I drive her to the grocery store and eat dinner together so we can have a good chat. But most of the time I would say I am more of a hinder- I do not always have a tidy bedroom, kitchen sink, and bathroom. I dont open the window when I shower and steam up the room which will indeed ruin the paint. I fill up the bath tub to full which causes the water to leak downstairs. I dont take care of my laundry fast enough and think that a heavy sweater and undies will dry at the same time in an oLd dryer. I come home past midnight and forget to call when I wont be home for dinner because I have a full time job and need to stay late. I cant drop everything and get off work to take her to doctor appointments and pick up prescriptions and she doesnt want to wait until I get off work or have a day off. I am a stranger and too busy and dont spend enough time at home. I deserve the sicknesses I get because I stay out too late and do too much.

Lets just say I have a LOT to learn! I try to see the cup half full but it seems like lately I am just pestimistic and its terrible! Kind of ironic that this morning I did a Customer Service training on how to stay positive and help people. I really do like my job but I need to remember to not take things personally, just seriously and handle the situation. This morning has been rough. But ya know I guess a lesson I should learn is to be more rational and not ever be mean when I am a customer at a business even when they are retarded.

I do love my grandma! We have fun together and she is a wonderful, wise woman. I understand it is a huge adjustment when you have lived alone for the past 8 years and then have a fast paced, busy, involved 21 year old move in. She just likes what she likes. Life is a journey!
