good day at the home depot






Well, yesterday I got to spend the WHOLE day with one Jacob Matthew, we got to have breakfast with mommy, watch some Disney channel and a nap, and lunch with mommy, then visiting with G mama and Connor also Naomi, and Tony and his new girl friend who I only got to see for a minute. She ran off to play with Naomi when she got there. It's OK it gave me time to talk with Tony and play with those kiddo-s. Kim and I talked about all of the things that were probably wrong with me. ( i eat shit and don't chew, I think that is what it all boiled down to) Connor loved playing with Jacob they were so cute, running around, playing with each other and jumping on aunt Moe. It was a great time. I got to spend all day with the little bean from when he woke up until I dropped him off with his daddy at 9:40pm. IT ROCKED. I did also, enjoy spending some time with Kate, even if it was not much of the time I was there at all, because she was working like a responsible adult. YEAH KATE

The drive home was smooth and I rolled in about 12:15am, i snuck into the house and in the shower with out even waking Matt up. He did wake up and we prayed and talked and looked at pictures.(well, i had a great day) then it was a quick thanks to mom and sweet dreams to me.

I got up at 5:00am with not tooooo much trouble. Went zipping on down the road to the home depot where I knew there was a pretty good chance of the book keeper being out due to the fact that she was having some teeth pulled. She said that she was going to be there but well that can be bad sometimes. I decided right away that I was going to have a good day. I was glad to see Davean, she stands up for what she knows is right and she still takes care of people, i love the balance she has. not a push over but not cold hearted either.

I did it got a little harry from time to time, some wonderful people i met at the home Home Depot today... ( what do you mean I have to spend $299.00 at one time to get interest free payments) (I am going to trade in this $200 lawn mower that I bought 4 months ago in to get a new one, because I use it to landscape and the wheels are falling off) (the Paint department sucks...They don't know how to mix paint, i have been here 4 times and they still don't know how to mix paint...you better make this right) (they sent me here from another home depot to get this because your computer said you have two...what do you mean you have been out of these for 2 months, why did they send me here if you don't have what I need I drove 45 minutes and GAS PRICES are so high...what are you going to do about this, what do I get for driving all the way down here and you don't have what I need) (Can I make a payment, oh i don't know my account number, i don't have my licence, why do you need my social, why can't you just look me up in that fancy computer of yours and give me the information I need, never mind you I don't have any identification telling you who I am...that's my business) (touch your nose 100 times guy...just kept thinking what kind of drugs are you on...can you stop touching your nose. stop or I am done ringing up your things) (you charged me twice for something in January of last year and I just noticed when I was looking at my receipt) (can I see a manager... {spit flying from my mouth..my little kid standing here looking at me in fear} you need to train your people lady, they made me feel like a dumb ass.((all i thought is you are doing a fine job of that your self))...I am so sorry I don't know how to use self check out, she did not need to make me look stupid in front of my kid)

There was some in home drama today too, but really, I don't have time to go into it. I did get to build a neat display today, I even thought of it all on my own, it looks good, but i have a feeling that someone will have a problem with it. they always do.

WHO CARES...I still had a great day, some times all you need is something to remind you of what you are working so hard for. thanks all.

Matt and I just got back from dinner, it was nice, now you know about my day............................ and now I think it is sleepy time for me.

Sweet Dreams and GOD Bless

Friday off work




I did a whole bunch of nothing today. I normally have a hard time doing nothing, but today it was pretty easy.


OK, so this is weired, Matt is sleeping and I am up and on the computer. Matt is the one that is up late at night doing whatever he does on the computer and most nights I am the one that is sleeping soundly in my bed. Matt is not feeling well, his poor stomach has been hurting for the past several days. So this is the second night in a row that he is sleeping and I am left to search the Internet for random things. tonight I thought I might blog...So, here I go...


Work has been crazy lately, the morale has been super low, with inventory and the constant safety audits, and paperwork out the ear. People have just been in a bad mood. I hate this because even if you try try try to stay positive about things, if people around you are negative all the time, soon it IS going to rub off on you too. I am doing better then most of my friends there, trying to listen to their problems but not get bummed out, it has been hard. I am very thankful to have these two days off, i need to regroup.


Kate and Jacob came to see me the other day. It was such a great surprise. Jacob was totally at home at HD, he played with things, picked flowers, and even rolled and army crawled down the PVC aisle. Everyone loved seeing them too, since I talk about them all of the time. They hung around the home depot until I got off work and we went and got the bean some new shoes and went to dunkin for a cup of coffee and a doughnut. Those two sure know how to make things better for me. I NEEDED THAT.
(look at the picture, this was from a couple of weeks ago but, this was the truck in front of me and Kate at Starbucks in Commerce, (it's nuts))

I got to show the house to Amy this week too, man I love the Internet. It made me happy knowing that she could see it from Florida. I wish she was here, but it makes it better knowing that she can see what I need her too.


I made tacos for dinner tonight not even thinking about Matt's poor belly. I am such a ding dong sometimes. It was nice, I made beans! They were yummy. And my rice has been so much better since we went and saw Marie and she told me how she makes rice. I like making rice again.


Well, I guess that is about it, I don't know if I should wake Matt up to pray, he fell asleep when I was on the phone with Kate. Maybe I will just pray alone tonight.

SWEET DREAMS AND GOD BLESS
