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.

Rolling Through Monday
Went to see Brave today it was AWESOME!!! Such a good lesson to learn embedded in the movie. I should have brought a box of tissues with me though as I was totally unprepared for the waterworks at the end of the movie. Always with Disney films I feel so great to be a part of something completely wonderful and magical, from the opening credits to the end of the closing credits.
After that we made our way to the library to pick up Marina whom gladly spent her afternoon in one of her favorite places to be. I renewed my book, The Purpose Driven Life and checked out one about the power of praying for your children. I really am so undedicated to doing so. I need to change my spiritual life around a bit and get back on track. Sometimes I completely come to my witts end with James and the antics he pulls, and other days, he's a complete angel. The girls are predictable. James isn't and he just makes me want to pull my hair out at times. I feel as though I need to exorcise the demons out of the child.
Going to be heading on out to the Getty Museum tomorrow for our Tuesday afternoon outing. Looking very forward to this little adventure as I have been waiting a long time to go to this place. Will be taking lots of pictures for sure.
It has turned out to be a rather beautiful day here in Southern California. Will be having pizza later in Nickkie's house and family game night. But for now I am thinking of a good name for a new family blog, as I don't always like posting everything on Facebook.

Good night @ work
Actually I have had a few good nights this week with the exception of Friday night when I had to confront one of my runners about his insubordinate actions. The rest of the nights have been slow despite that
It's kids are out-of-school now. My regular runners are doing fantastic aim their jobs as with every passing day they seem to be making vast improvements in their skill.
As for me I am still in the process of trying to give my personality a makeover: trying to be extra careful as not to say anything negative about anyone, to be kind and considerate. I get too emotional over the simplest of things and I really need to listen more and instead of reacting I need to respond. I'm a work in progress.
Other than that since this is my Friday I am looking forward to my next two days off to recuperate and have some family time with the kids.

So Tired
It seems to be the story of my life at times as I am getting older. But the problem is is that although I am wiped out very seldom do I actually get a good night's sleep, or sleep a straight eight hours. So I drink plenty of Powerade when I am at work running around to make me alert and keep my body's precious electrolytes refilled.
