Conversations with my son

Funny conversation #1
Going out the door the other morning, Preston looked at the indoor thermometer.
Him: "I think this thing is wrong"
Me: (not noticing what it said at first) "Why do you think it's wrong"
Him: "Come on now, it's not 50 degrees. It's like 60-70 out there"
Me: "Why do you say that?"
Him: "Come on, seriously! If it was like 50 degrees it would be snowing"
Me: (with a huge grin on my face as he turned around) "Ah, I see"

Funny conversation #2
On the way to school this morning, a radio station was giving away (i'm guessing) a T-VO system worth $500.
Him: "Come on now, a T-VO, seriously, a T-VO for $500?"
Me: " I guess so, why?"
Him: "Come a T-VO is not $500!"
Me: "How much do you think it is?"
Him: "Um...more like $100. or $200."
Me: "Really?"
Him: "Yeah, it's not no $500. dollars. You can it through Cox for $10 more!"
Me: "I see" (trying hard not to laugh and thinking yeah...a month!)
Hope these brought a smile to your face as they did mine!!

Ah, life

My job is getting a bit better. I really like the manager of the store. She is soo nice! There is one person who really irritates me, but hey there's one in every crowd! Just makes me mad cause she seems to "chew" my butt once a day when we work together. Oh well....I can handle it. The job is getting better and I'm starting to actually make some "friends". I just passed a bittersweet (is that the right word?) anniversery: the day R and I got married. THANK GOD I HAD A COUNSELING APPOINTMENT THAT DAY!!! I had felt sick to my stomach for a couple days prior, but that day really blew!! Before goiong to work, I wanted to chew out anyone who crossed my path. Actually, once I got in to my day, it didn't go to bad. I had a lot of things going to keep me busy. And talking to my therapist did help. I knew I was going to have to face it, I'm just glad I had a little "help" from my friends. Preston is doing awesome in school!! He just got his mid-terms this past week. He's like a "completely" different kid this year as far as school. Of course, I think football has really helped him to get going and be concerned about his grades. I wanted to take him to the Medicine Lodge Peace Treaty this weekend, but of course I had to work so that didn't happen. I'm hoping that this weekend we can do that since I'm working tomorrow. I normally get every third day off.....kinda nice! Just hope that maybe I can go to Preston's game, it going to be an out of towner, so I don't know. Would sure hate to miss one!

Crap I'm tired

My job is going, let's just say that!! It's much better as far as people compared to the other job. However, physically, it is kicking my butt!! I have neve been so tired in my life. Yeasterday by the time I got home, I could hardly move. Of course, it probably doesn't help that I pretty much face planted in my parents backyard the night before. Stupid feet....can't do a thing with 'em! Thankfully, again nothing is broken, just irks me when I fall!! Thank goodness Maggie was there to "make sure" I was alright!! Maggie is my dad's German Shepard! I do need to continue looking for a job. I don't know that I'm going to be able to handle this one much longer. I really like most of the people I am working with, it's just to physical for me. To top it off, I'm not even loosing any weight so far...lol! The rest of like has been pretty boring. Preston's team lost their last two football games. It was not a pretty time last week!! Hopefully this week will be better.

I started my other new job today. This one went MUCH better! The people I worked with were SO nice and very helpful!! I am kind of tired, but not as bad as over the weekend. I do have a delima: on Sat I'm supposed to work at job 1 until 2pm and then go to job 2 at 3pm. I'm supposed to be at job 2 util 11pm. That would be a LONG time!! I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but I'm going to have to decide. Chances are I'm not going to be able and work like I had hoped at both jobs. That is going to really kick my butt!! I'm probably looking at dropping job 2, however, I going to think about it tonight and tomorrow all day....write down the pros and cons. One thing about either job, I probablyl will be losing some weight (or wishful thinking) with all this walking and moving!! Gotta be excited aboout that!!
In other news, my mom got her "boot" off! I think she's pretty excited about it. She can also start bending her knee 20%, which is going to be good. She still has to wear the knee brace, but at least she can begin bending it.
We also got word tonight that my aunt is not going to have surgery for another couple weeks. I guess her potasium is down and they don't want it to be down before they do surgery. At this point they do not know why it is down, but hopefully in the next day or so they will. It really makes me nervous, all of this, but I have to trust that God has a plan for all of it. Hard to do when it's someone you care about!! I also wish my aunt wasn't soo far away!! She lives in Arizona! At least we are all in pretty good contact with each other.
Preston's next game is coming up. I'm getting excited about that. Hopefully, this week they will win!

My poor body

This weekend has been strangely boring. Normally I'm pretty much hooked on the Telethon....this year I haven't spent any time watching it. Not that it's not important to me-it will be always. I think for one though I am just so tired from working that I don't care too concentrate on anything. For another thing, I somehow feel removed from it (is that the right word??) . At any rate, yes, my body is completely shot!! Spent 7-3 working yeasterday than went to a friend's BBQ. Work was good, but I just can't stand as much as I did yeasterday. I think every bone in my body aches today. I even had to take Preston to practice this morning and that about killed me. Since I'm SO tired, that is telling me that I probably am not going to be able to handle two jobs. I'm going to give it another week, but I'm thinking that although the money would be awesome, there's no sense in killing myself to get it!! I start my other job in the morning, good think I called too. I wouldn't have known cause the lady hadn't called to tell me when I start/what time.
As for my friend's BBQ, it was a good time. Unfortunately, I just wasn't good company and Preston was being kind of a brat. Needless to say, we didn't stay to long. I wish I hadn't been SO freakin' tired as I would have like to stay longer. My friend's son and his wife were here this weekend and would have been nice to chat with them longer. Oh well!!
Obviously today, I have been the biggest couch potato. Hey one day is alright! My back is killing me and my left wrist has been hurting. Hopefully by tomorrow the soreness will be bettter. Being a couch potato has given me the chance too catch up on some reading. I've been kind of slackin' lately, and need to start reading some of my books and magazines before they start piling up again.

1 Win 1 Loss

Well I didn't get around to doing another post last night. Preston and I were WAY to tired when we got home!! The poor kid ended up playing two football games. He started both "A" and "B" teams. Both teams did an awesome job, but the "A" team lost..."B" team won!! Fortunately my nervous went away once the game started. I thought I was going to have to take one of my anxiety pills because I was so nervous. That would not have been good cause they make me tired and I didn't want to miss the game! When Preston got done last night I took him to Pizza Hut to eat. The poor kid was SO tired, he couldn't even hardly sit up. Needless to say, we ended up just getting our stuff to go. While we waited several of our friends came over and talked to Preston about the game which made him feel good.
I got another job this afternoon. I don't know how working two jobs is going to go, but with both of them I will be making about as much as I was at the pervious place. I think I can handle it as both are part-time. Hopefully, they will both work out. Of course Preston is nervous that since I am working again I won't be able to go to his games. I've assured him that WILL NOT happen!! I WILL be there no matter what!! I think the poor guy just gets nervous cause he's been let down a lot. This weekend I think he and I are getting together with some friends. He recently met a kid his age who he enjoyed spending time with and they are going to be in town again. Hopefully we will have time to get togther with them.
