Dearest Night Custodial...

I am so sorry to inconvenience you for five minutes while I use the bathroom that your cleaning. Try having 60k inconvenience you as your trying your darnedest to straighten, fold and fill 11 stores in your area. I realize you have a job to do but do do I which sometimes prevents me from using the restroom for most of the night. I suppose that's why I work during daylight hours while you work at night when there's no one in the park to make your job ten times harder.
To accomplish. I guess it takes a woman to do that.

Ahhh

Having a relaxing Spa Pedicure done. My feet are soaking in warm water and my back is being massaged at the same time. Who can not find that totally relaxing?

Surprisingly I'm Not Mad...

So today I receive a bill in the mail for my lab work done back in May.   The explanation was that they're saying that I didn't have insurance coverage for that day.  This is amusing to me as I have been covered since 2010 by Cigna, I would know as they deduct their payments from my check every week.

So the lab bill is a whopping $216.00 of which I have no plans to pay because somehow this whole thing first off got billed to the wrong lab.   I haven't received a lab bill for oh, I don't know how long.

The second thing is is that I have no EOB from Cigna saying I was at the doctor's office on 5/22/2012 but Marc, my husband does because that day we went together, and that is the day I had my tests done.

So who really is at fault here?  

The receptionist took my card, called it in and yep, Im covered otherwise I am assuming that they would have notified me right then and there I didn't have insurance.  Right? Right.

So I haven't received a statement for my office visit which apparently I didn't have, but I have a bill for said amount for $$ that is owed to a lab claiming I didn't have insurance.

Go Figure.

And so I've decided

To make a habit of writing in my blog once a day, This way I can collect my thoughts together in one little place and let them fill the otherwise empty page of what the goings-on are in my life for the day or night depending on where I am. Also at this time and before I start I take a few minutes to read a bible verse or two and meditate on what the Lord is showing me, and I might write my thoughts or just meditate on them for the remainder of my evening. Tonight I'm meditating.

So for the past three nights at work all of us BOH CM's ( cast members) have been challenged to "Play at Work" do to speak. We are to stop what we are doing and make Magical Memories for our guests.

This is very difficult for me to do as I am so completely introverted at times tend to shy away from this kind of exposure or activity but I seemed to come out of my shell a bit tonight and took control of the situation.

In the autograph book, we have 3 stories of the MM that three little girls volunteered to share with the rest of us

Two of them became Honorary Citizens of Disneyland, the girl was celebrating her sisters birthday and her own achievements since graduating Jr. High.


It truly has been a Special evening.

Busy Busy Busy

All of a sudden I've got that song by Chicago in my head. 🎺 " Saturday in the Park, I'd think it was the 4th of July...." Well it's still July so I'm not that far off.

And it's hot and humid another July trait. It is busy and I do need a pair of roller skates to keep up with the amount of guests in my shops and in particular the area I'm trying to keep under control.

But the good news is that it is my Thursday, and after tomorrow night I am off for another 2 relaxing, fun- filled days.

Can't wait!!!

Enjoying Lunch

Just sitting here with Beverly, she is my shadow tonight for closing Fan/Toon area. Yep, Sitting out here amongst the hollers and screams from the guests on Thunder Mountain and the mice that jut back and forth across the patio looking for tidbits of food to eat.


It is a very warm evening here in Anaheim and now I am not worried at all about the fact that I forgot my sweater at home.

The highlights of my night so far is that I actually made a Magical Moment with a young man tonight who decided to help clean up the candy display at Strombolis. He became an Honorary Citizen of Disneyland and it made me feel good also.

With almost half of my evening gone I am feeling mentally better than I was on my way to work dragging my fanny here.

Hopefully the rest of my night with end on a joyful note.

I have to remember

To not take people so seriously. Especially at work where it seems that everyone is against me for one thing or the other. I feel like I am in a spiritual battle here. I know that God put me here in this job and in this role for His purposes, and I have to remember that His opinion of me should be the only one that matters. " Do all that you do unto the Lord and not into men" and that is something that I have to remember day in and day out here.

Tired Thoughts ...

Why do I get so focused on what the younger leads think of me? I shouldn't be so concerned. And I need to remember that if God is for me who can be against me? I tried to refocus on doing everything into the Lord tonight instead of being consumed with the stupid, immature actions that only the East siders manage to do day in and day out?

I know. I know.

I failed this test. I should have been a responding wife instead of a reacting one.

A Woman's Walk

A Woman's Walk

safety begins with me; bee stings

So earlier tonight the little girl across the street got stung by a bee. Keil comes flying through the door screaming that she needs to make "the paste" The paste is a cure all for bee stings and the like. The paste consists of baking soda and water and is mixes to a thick consistency. Grabbing the bowl she runs out the door while I grab a credit card to scrape out that stinger. I get across the street and Marc who is knelt down beside the little girl looks up at me and asks me for a tweezer.

The #1 item you should not get the stinger out with. ( This has been our safety tip for over a month at Diz) the reason we don't use this object is because we do not want to squeeze more venom into the person. Instead we scrape it out with a straight edged item in this case a credit card will suffice. And guess what? IT WORKED. We had a magical moment at home.

We applied the paste afterward to draw out the pain. That works too.

Chips AHOY!!!

Awww nuts.. Was doing so well too. That's what happens with PMS. That dreaded time if the month that alters your moods and your appetite. I'm beating myself up over these little tidbits of pallet pleasing pleasure. The truth is I haven't really had any sweets for quite some time since the
doctor pulled me off all fats and I have diligently obeyed her because I really do not want to be put on Cholesterol medication. The good news is that I have lost probably a good 11-12 lbs in about 2 months. I have replaced all the fats and sugars with uberous ( not a word I know ) for healthier eating. My doctor is happier and so am I.
Because of this I haven't really experienced any kind of discomfort and I think it's because of the copious amounts of soy I take in now. Another thing I have noticed is that my skin especially my facial skin has less wrinkles popping up, because of the amount of water and fruit I ingest.

Really Haven't Been Feeling Like Myself Lately

And it pretty much started 2 days before my birthday in June when I listened to one of my managers go on and on about my attitude and how it has a negative effect on my co-leads.

I wouldn't say I'm negative, but I would say that I am hard- working and they're not. Being a lead to them earns them extra $$ and that's all they pretty much care about. Being a lead to me = hard work and not having a social life for 8 hours. The expectations I have to live up to are far more demanding than what they have to live up to when they come to work. But just to make me look bad enough of them put in a complaint to the managers and hence why I got the negative feedback with a warning mixed in with it.

So I've gone out of my way to be Little Miss Sunshine to the rest of the leads, but you know? That's not who I am. And I'm not saying being a bitch is the answer all I'm saying is that everyone needs to get the same lecture on their attitudes also.

So I haven't been happy because I have had to stop and take a long hard look at myself, my attitude and my priorities.

People are people. They are rude and obnoxious and always want to be the finger-pointers. It's like High School and at 48 years old I'm past all those games.

Today is Tuesday

Yeah!!!   Dodger Blue Win!!!      And....  The Washington Nationals beat the pants off the Giants, 9-3.

Looking forward to the 4th which is tomorrow.  Hopefully I will be successful in rounding up some BBQ pics while at the park so that I can get our family blog a rollin'.  

Wasn't as productive today as I was yesterday but still managed to make it to the market, Costco, Fresh and Easy then come home rest a bit and did some devotional time.  Then I watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer, washed the truck and made dinner which took the better part of two hours from start to finish.

Have to go lock up the truck.

And we're back to watching the NHL channel. Again.

Today I Managed To ...

Sweep the front porch
Vacuum
Sweep the kitchen floor
Wash all the towels
Wash the sheets
Make dinner
Wash some of the dishes
Take a nap.

Even with my asthma acting up. I think that's the most productive I've been in a while. Hope it lasts.
