Sleep Insomnia?

Shawn shocked me lastnight by telling me that if in a couple of weeks I am not back on some sort of sleep schedule that he is taking me to the doctor for sleep insomnia. Which lastnight I laughed about it. Someone had told me to take these sleepy time things that are suppose to make you tired I guess? They were like 2.00 at walmart for 24 capsels. I took 2 lastnight around 9:00, yea they didn't work, however I did fall asleep a little after 12:30. But I was also wide awake at 3:30. By the time I went back to sleep after I read for a while it was 5:00 so the alarm just went off at 5:15 and I crawled out of bed at 5:20. So of course this morning all I hear from Shawn is your going to the doctor if it doesn't stop. I guess, I didn't realize it has been going on since May. About the only 3 times I have fallen alseep and was able to sleep for long periods of time was when I took nyquil, but there is no way I am going to get myself addicted to that stuff, besides that I wouldn't be able to function during classes and such because it makes me drowzy for two days. Well last Friday I was able to get a pretty good nights sleep. We stayed at mom's and I went to bed a little after midnight and woke up at 9:30. But Shawn said that is only because the two nights before I had only gotten 3 to 4 hrs of sleep. UGH I don't know... I just think it would be silly going to a doctor because I can't sleep and I think the only thing they could do is give me sleeping pills and aren't those things known to be addicting and I am not trying to do anything like that.

So I left _____ at 6:15 and I got here at 7:30.... my class isn't until 8:40 but I didn't want to mess with parking after 8. So today is my long day I have class until 6:30 tonight. My schedule today:
8:40 to 10:40
12:30 to 3:00
4:00 to 6:30

I can only hope it will be a short classes since today is the first day but I was looking at the syllabus for my classes and it looks like we will cover a lot today in my last two classes. But they are only once a week, so I guess that is to be expected.
I worked at Pak-a-sak yesterday. It was pretty fun, except for going in to the freezer to restock stuff, I didn't like that part at all, but I guess it is part of the job. My last day at Hastings was suppose to be Sunday, but now I am on the schedule to work on Wednesday. Saturday I was suppose to work 2 to 6 but ended up working 2 to 12:30 because this girl decided she was going to pull a no show, I quit thing. People irk me when they do that!! Anyway, that is pretty much it for now.

The PHONE CALL

So I called and finally talked to the senior pastor from this church. He acted like he was really concerned until the end of the conversation then I felt like he was just trying to get me to visit this church. I said I probably wouldn't visit the church and he then went on to talk about forgiveness. I guess he thought he could tell me to forgive her and then I would go to this church, whatever, sorry ummm no. Anyway, all I can do is pray that this lady gets talked to and learns from this. I am not really angry about this anymore, it is more concerned than anything. Just thought I would let yall know that I did call.

So anyway I started at pakasac today. It was fun!!! After the night I had lastnight at Hastings I wish I could have walked in and said I quit, but I am just too good to do that. So I will work Saturday and Sunday and then most likely say farewell to that place.

Well Shawn has a chat with his online teacher in a few minutes so I better get off of here!

What is a person to do????

Seriously, I think I have been erked today like I have never been erked before. I am usually one that can take and take and take, and just blow people off. Okay so you are probably are wondering what happened. Well it all started yesterday/ lastnight at work. This youth group from one of local churches came in. I had just spent 30 minutes straightning boutique well they went back there like they do every other sunday night and messed it up. Whatever, annoying as all get out, but really no big deal I just have to restraighten. Well, the youth pastor's wife is at the counter. And she asks me how long I have lived in this town, I tell her since the end of April/begining of May. She then says, "So your husband is one of the Rookies right?" I said yea, I guess you can call him a rookie? She says ya, I know who your husband is, he is the one that had an affair on you and now has a baby by another woman in town." I said no, my husband has only been working here since April. She then tells me I don't have to hide it, that everyone in the "elite circle" knows about it. I said, no I think you have him confused and as far as I know the other 3 people that were hired at the same time with him. One is married and has lived here all of his life, the other two are single parent fathers. None of them have babies. She then says well if you feel the need to keep lying to yourself, you go ahead, but the whole town is going to find out about it sooner or later. So I tell her when her movies are due back, (keep in mind there is a line of people behind her and of course they are listening) whatever! I am actually laughing about this woman and so is the girl I am working with. So, it really isn't until this morning when I was telling Shawn about it that I really got irrated, just because I could remember the way she acted about everything.

Okay first of all my thing is a youth pastor's wife~ with the youth group standing there listening and you are talking about this???? I know everyone makes mistakes but come on!!! Set an example!!!!

Secondly, after I said it is not him, don't just keep accusing me of playing dumb and my husband of something that he wouldn't do.

Thirdly, how does one get pregnant in March and end up with a 2 month old in August... it just doesn't add up....

Okay, so I go to work tonight, and about an hour until closing she comes in to return the movies she brought back. The girl at the counter asks her if she would like her to check them in. She says no. I am walking up to the front and she asks me to check in her movies. The other girl I was working with kind of looked at me funny. So I am checking her movies in and she says so did you tell your husband that everyone in this town practically knows about his affair and his child. I said, no you have him mixed up with someone else as far as I know, no one on his shift or at the PD has recently had an affair on their wife. She then tells me that denial is not good for a person because it causes more pain later on in life. (Okay my irration level is going up and up at this point) I then said you can believe what you want to believe but the truth is, is that you don't know me or my husband. Then I asked her if there was anything I could help her with. She says well I just want you to know that my husband and I council couples and try to help them with their marriage problems, here is our card. (Irratation/anger at extreme level, about to explode) I took the card and ripped it up and threw it in the trashcan right in front of her. Then I said excuse me I have work to do. She followed me while I was putting rentasl up and she says can I say a prayer of peace for you. (can you see the smoke coming out of my ears???) I said do whatever you feel the need to do, but while your praying why don't you say a prayer for yourself! I then went straight to the bathroom. She actually left another card with the girl I was working with and asked her to invite me to that church on sunday. I think my coworker knew I pissed and I said please don't tell me you believe any of that, and she said that she hadn't heard anything like that and she doesn't see Shawn doing that. I said I KNOW for a fact that Shawn is not doing that.

I seriously feel like calling the senior pastor of this church. You dont get church members by going and running your mouth about something when in fact it is nothing but lies. When I came home Shawn knew I was mad. I think he was mad because this lady showed up like 10 minutes after he left, but it was probably good that he did leave. I wonder if this lady would have accused Shawn to his face. I wouldn't doubt it just because she kept telling me I was in denial.

But seriously who does that???? I know this town isn't like this. For the most part this town has been nothing but nice to Shawn and I. I have heard some town gossip but it is mainly about a persons business closing or not closing. I mean I hear stuff from Shawn, but never any names, or anything like that.

I guess I just feel like me, shawn, and our marriage was attacked! Normally I can blow these things off, but maybe it is the fact that she is a pastors wife. What is she trying to do build up the number of couples she coucils, by trying to start something that has no truth to it at all. I seriously don't know whether to drop it. I just have a feeling that she will keep going in the store just to see if I am working.

Anyway, we really didn't do much this weekend, except work and sleep. Shawn and I went to Amarillo to get his books and canyon to get my books. His online classes started today. I am actually excited to start school next Monday. Anyway, my head is hurting, probably due to the rise in bloodpreasure. I don't think I have ever had a problem with my blood preasure being high, but I am pretty sure it got to that point tonight. God has blessed us with lots of rain! It has been so nice!

I hope everyone has a peaceful week!

have I mentioned that Nyquil and I don't mix...

If you read the post below, you would have seen that I had a headache last night, instead of taking 2 nyquil I took one, well I tried to cut in half but really it was more like 3/4 and a 1/4 so yea, I took the bigger one. Big mistake I got up at 5 b/c of Shawn and then I went back to bed and woke up at 10:30 when work was calling. I finally crawled out of bed around 11. I thought I was doing pretty good, went and took a shower, got ready for the day, and now it is 3:38 and I am sooo sleepy again and I am starting to get another headache! Anyway, I am going to take a nap. I hope I hear the alarm clocks and get to work by 6. I was back to my normal sleep schedule. Anyway I am off to take a nap~

It's Thursday

This week is going about just as fast as last week. I was suppose to work tonight, but one of the girls wanted more hours and I gladly gave them today's shift. Lastnight at work was sooo dead, which was good and bad. I had a really bad headache and the other person I was working with had some family issues going on so mentally she really wasn't there. I felt bad because she was actually called in to work for another person. Anyway, we had like 500 books that were recieved yesterday since they are expanding the stores book section. I quickly found out that the two people that supposedly alphad the book section 1) either have no idea what the alphabit is or 2) they just don't know it in the right order and they need to go back to pre-k. I keep telling my boss that he needs to get the border of the alphabet and hang it up somewhere, that or make them sing it. So anyway, needless to say, I didn't get very far in to the books. Although I did get them out of the boxes on to the cart catogorized and alphaed correctly. It was just putting them away, I ended up alphing 2 sections lastnight. Then around 9 a phone call comes in and it is the floor people who are wondering if they are coming. My boss did not tell me anything about it. So I call him and he is like oh ya the floor people will be there at 10:55 to do the floors. I then ask so how long does that take and he says oh 2 1/2 -3 hrs. GREAT! He knew I had a headache so he got up there at 12:30 to sit for the last hour to two hours. It was still soo boring though, and I don't think putting up books helped my headache any. So one good thing about leaving this job is no more alphing projects :).

The beauty control party I had Tuesday night turned out great. It was fun and relaxing. Iris is coming up to see the house today. I am making lemon chicken with herb rice for dinner. Shawn starts school on monday, he is taking 4 online classes. I start next monday- well actually tuesday :). Can you believe we are coming up on our 2nd wedding anniversary. If time keeps going this fast it won't be too long until I am an actual teacher and have a kiddo or two running around. I can't wait for all of that too happen, but I am not rushing any of it.

So the otherday, I was working on a new background and I was going through all of my trial and error pics and deleting them, well I deleted that one. So, I just did this one. Anyway, if you don't see your link send me an email. Shawn was cleaning up the computer the other day and deleted a folder full of my old templates. I will also probably be adding and taking away things for a while.

Oh I use to have one of these long ago, but for the life of me I can not remember my password and the email addy I used to do it. So please take the time to fill it out. If you have kiddo's enter in there birthday!

Whoa What A Week~

So here is kind of last week in a review.......

Monday- I think we just stayed home and cleaned up the house and then I went to work.

Tuesday- We went to Amarillo/Canyon. Helped my brother get his school stuff together. Oh keep my brother in your prayers he is going to try to walk on WT's baseball team?
I think we ate lunch with Nanny and PawPaw. Hmmm....we went to my parents house, then Shawn went out to Nanny and PawPaw's house, while I went to Walmart with Meghan, then I fell asleep at my parents house, until my mom came home from work. Then I spent time with them. Drove back that night with Meghan. She stayed the night.

Wednesday- Shawn went to work, I was lazy laid around and watched tv all day, and Meghan went home.... however, I did cook dinner that night.

Thursday- Shawn came home told me that the owner of PakaSak wanted to talk to me about a job? I went to work, worked till close......

Friday- Early morning....went to Pakasak got a job offer paying better than hastings(never filled out an application) and I would only be closing 2 nights a week..... so ya I took it..... went to Amarillo to a friends yard sale, then Shawn and I took Megs out for lunch.... well sorta see I had a hair apt at 2 and the restaurant's kitchen was backed up so Meghan drove me to the hair place went back and ate with Shawn. They got my food to go... Oh ya, soooo instead of getting low lights, I just went for dying my hair a darker color. I absolutely love it!!! I will get a pic up soon... ( I was going to get a picture today but the camera batteries were dead :( ) We got back Friday around 5:30 and I went straight to work. Shawn started painting the second/middle bedroom. I got home around 1:30 am and went to bed.

Yesterday (Saturday), I got up and went to work from 9 to 12:00 we finished painting the bedroom, went to walmart, I got a dark reddish curtain (it matches the red color in my chef stuff) and curtain rod to go over the pantry doorway. Then we got a dark reddish rug, tolietseat cover, and hard ware (toliet paper holder, towel bar, ect...) for the bathroom across from that door way. I think it is cute!! now if we can just get the wall paper out of the other bathroom. Then I went to work at 6. Called the cops on some kids that were trying to steal stuff. People are sooo stupid!! Anyway, Shawn's sergeant was having a get together at his house with his shift and the night people on that shift. (speaking of which, Shawn will be switching to nights in a few weeks) One of the girls I closed with followed me home and took me to Shawn, that way we only had one vechile over there. I laughed alot, had fun, and I met more people which is always good.

Today~ Slept in until about 10,then we got up, went and put gas in the gas can, raked the front yard, mowed the front and back yards, weededed?, watered, and put the middle bedroom back together. I went to work at 5 and Shawn relaxed.


Other tidbits of info or stuff that I feel like sharing....
1)So on Friday I put in or at least tried to put in my 2 week notice.... well in two weeks another gsm is taking vacation and with out me there that only leaves two people (managers) to run the store. So as long as I work at least 6 hours every two weeks I can keep my discount there... I am at least going to try help them out while the other gsm is on vacation, but I let him know that if I say I can't do it with school and that other job then I can't do it and I will have to leave for good. He said he understands the money thing, but I am a very valuable employee, I told him he could bump up my pay, then today I found out that he actually tried but his management won't approve it.... so anyway we shall see how this all works out....

2) So today I am in the restroom at work, which is located through a door at the end of the hall. So I hear the big door close and I thought it was one of the gsa's putting up her vest. But then I hear this giggling and then it stops..okay whatever... So when I open the door I was not expecting to see a guy and a girl in this hallway, and the guy has his hands up this girl's shirt. The girl looks about 15/16 and the guy 16/17... so all I can think of to say is Can I help you, well then they try to go in to the bathroom, so I immediately say you are not going into the bathroom together, so the girl mumbles "b****" under her breath and they both walk out of the hall. So I go up front, there is a line and I start checking people out and this lady walks up and says Do you know what they are doing, so I peek in to the office to look at the computer screen with the cameras and those two are making out and then I notice what the lady is talking about he has his hand down her pants and at the end of the isle is probably about a 4/5 year old girl standing there watching them~ So I radio to the gsa I have on the floor and she says excuse me to them and the girl says what the F* are you starring at... so I tell the girl and the guy that they need to leave the store. About 45 mins later her comes her and her mom. Her mom is screaming at the gsa that said excuse me to her. So I get up to the front and she says that we had no reason to kick her 14 year old, yes 14 year old!!! out of the store just because she didn't have an adult with her. So she really isn't letting me get a word in at all and there are several customers around. I am sure my face was red, the lady was soo mad at us, that half of what she was saying was in english and half was in spanish. The girl is just standing there smirking and then her mom said something in half eng half spanish and the girl lets out a laugh. I guess that was my blowing point. So I just ignored the mom who was still going on about her daughters rights and looked straight at the girl and said do you want to tell your mom what really happened or do I need to show what the cameras got? The girl all snottys says something to the extent of you don't have any real cameras. It was my pleasure to lead this mother of her daughter that is such an angel that never does anything wrong.....to the office where I rewound the screen and showed the mother exactly what her daughter was doing. I really didn't think the ladys face could get any more redder or her daughters face anymore whiter. Did we get a I am sorry from the mother? Nope...but I think that was because she was so embarrassed and mad all at the same time.... lets just say the cameras in the store showed more than I even knew or thought had gone on, but I will say that they never had actual intercourse. About 20 minutes before closing the boy's mom showed up to see the tapes. Her son did not want to go in to the office. She apologized for her son's behavior and she too had an awful face color when she left the store. So we should have gotten out of the store at 10:30 but since that took up sometime we got out of there at 11:30.
I guess when I seen them in the hall I got them out of there because I was thinking I am not going to be responsible for this teenager getting pregnant while I am on the clock in this store, but at the same time I could soo see her mom trying to blame the store because her daughter got pregnant. Also her age really gets me.... 14 and acting like this in public~ I don't even want to know what goes on in private.

Anyway just like last week I am soo glad to be off the next two days!!! Tuesday I am having a beauty control/spa party in Amarillo. I am also in the middle of doing a new background/template....

I am going to bed now....

sorry for the spelling~

Why did the chicken cross the road?

DR. PHIL: The problem we have here is that this chicken won't realize that he must first deal with the problem on "THIS" side of the road before it goes after the problem on the "OTHER SIDE" of the road. What we need to do is help him realize how stupid he's acting by not taking on his "CURRENT" problems before adding "NEW" problems.

OPRAH: Well I understand that the chicken is having problems, which is why he wants to cross this road so bad. So instead of having the chicken learn from his mistakes and take falls, which is a part of life, I'm going to give this chicken a car so that he can just drive across the road and not live his life like the rest of the chickens.

GEORGE W. BUSH: We don't really care why the chicken crossed the road. We just want to know if the chicken is on our side of the road, or not. The chicken is either against us, or for us. There is no middle ground here.

DONALD RUMSFELD: Now to the left of the screen, you can clearly see the satellite image of the chicken crossing the road.

ANDERSON COOPER/CNN: We have reason to believe there is a chicken, but we have not yet been allowed to have access to the other side of the road.

JOHN KERRY: Although I voted to let the chicken cross the road, I am now against it! It was the wrong road to cross, and I was misled about the chicken's intentions. I am for it now, and will remain against it.

JUDGE JUDY: That chicken crossed the road because he's GUILTY! You can see it in his eyes and the way he walks.

PAT BUCHANAN: To steal the job of a decent, hardworking American.

MARTHA STEWART: No one called me to warn me which way that chicken was going. I had a standing order at the Farmer's Market to sell my eggs when the price dropped to a certain level.

DR SEUSS: Did the chicken cross the road? Did he cross it with a toad? Yes, the chicken crossed the road, but why it crossed I've not been told.

ERNEST HEMINGWAY: To die in the rain. Alone.

JERRY FALWELL: Because the chicken was gay! Can't you people see the plain truth in front of your face? The chicken was going to the "other side" That's why they call it the "other side" of the road. Yes, my friends, that chicken is gay. And if you eat that chicken, you will become gay too. I say we boycott all chickens until we sort out this abomination that the liberal media whitewashes with seemingly harmless phrases like "the other side." That chicken should not be free to cross the road. It's as plain and simple as that!

GRANDPA: In my day we didn't ask why the chicken crossed the road. Somebody told us the chicken crossed the road, and that was good enough.

BARBARA WA LTERS: Isn't that interesting? In a few moments, we will be listening to the chicken tell, for the first time, the heart warming story of how it experienced a serious case of molting, and went on to accomplish its life long dream of crossing the road.

JOHN LENNON: Imagine all the chickens in the world crossing roads together - in peace.

ARISTOTLE: It is the nature of chickens to cross the road.

BILL GATES: I have just released eChicken2006, which will not only cross roads, but will lay eggs, file your important documents, and balance your check book. Internet explorer is an integral part of eChicken. The Platform is much more stable and will never cra.....@&&^( C ....... reboot.

ALBERT EINSTEIN: Did the chicken really cross the road, or did the road move beneath the chicken?

BILL CLINTON: I did not cross the road with THAT chicken. What is your definition of chicken?

AL GORE: I invented the chicken!

COLONEL SANDERS: Did I miss one?

Did it ever occur to anyone that MAYBE that's where the rooster was?

Looking forward to lunch

So I wait to eat lunch with Shawn today. I get a call saying he is going to be 30-45 minutes late. Okay no biggie. He finally gets here. We sit down to eat. And I hear the dispatcher on the radio running off codes or whatever. Then Shawn talks. So I ask what is going on he tells me a domestic but they have it covered. Before him or I take another bite, I hear the dispatcher come on the radio and shawn says clear to the radio and is out the door. I had no idea what was going on. So an hour and 1/2 later he comes home. Tells me it was some big fight yadada. So he sits down to finish his lunch and knock knock on our door. So there is a lady at the door. I guess she was a witness and wants to give a statement right then. Shawn tells her he has to do it at the station. I was trying to figure out how she knew where he lived at. But it turns out she lives on the same block. So I got to spend about 5 to 10 minutes with him today. I have to go to work at 5 he gets off at 6 and I work till close. I hate days like this. Its not the first nor is it the last... just glad we get one day off together this week. I can't wait for Tuesday to arrive!! Isn't it crazy how you can live in the same house as someone but because of schedules your conversations are pretty much good morning, have a good day, and goodnight. Like I said before I can't wait for Tuesday to arrive.

what to do..... what to do........

How does a person get back to a normal sleep schedule??? It is 6:00 in the morning and I went to bed at 3:00. I think I am getting my really bad headaches from not getting enough sleep. The DPD called our house at 5:50. Shawn was having a stomach problem this morning and normally he is the first one there in the mornings, so I guess they thought he over slept. Nice of them to call just incase. It just woke me up and I wasn't able to go back to sleep. Although now, I am starting to get sleepy again. Anyway, back to my sleep schedule, this week I kind of screwed it up bad because on Wedensday I got off work and had an awful headache and we didn't have any pm medicine so we went to walmart and got nyquil, well instead of only taking 1, I thought I would take the two pills. Yea, the next morning Shawn woke me up at 10 and I was still very very drowsy, I got up, got ready, and pretty much slept on the way to amarillo, through most of our errands, and on the way back, and instead of staying awake when we got back I slept up until 5 and that was because I had to be at work at 6. Very very bad idea, because I got home and even though I was tired I couldn't go to sleep. I ended up going to sleep at 5:30 yesterday morning. I only slept till 9 hoping I would get off work and be able to go to bed, but no such luck! I just want to be on some what of a normal sleep schedule when school comes around, seeing how I have to leave here between 6:00 /6:30am in order to get to school and get a good parking spot. I feel like I have tried everything except taking sleeping pills everynight and that is not something I am going to do. Like, taking warm/hot baths, reading, looking at the clock,..... Anyway, if you have any suggestions please please let me know! What is crazy is that when Shawn and I first got married I was the one that had to be in bed by 10/ 10:30 in order to function the next day. Once I quit AIG, my body's sleep schedule thing changed. I don't know if it was because I didn't have a whole lot of stress then or what? I noticed towards the end of my time at buckner that I was starting to have to be in bed by 10 because my boss well you know the deal.... so maybe once school starts and the more stress comes in to my life I will be able to sleep. oh wow, anyway I am going back to bed!
