Work, Overnight shift, Cosmetics, Kids and the Fair.

The last few weeks have been very busy. Work has been hectic since we lost two of our presentation team members. We have a new team member called Cris. She seems pretty cool so far. She's a great worker and her being there has helped with the workload somewhat. If she hadn't come in when she did, We would of been absolutely swamped with work! Up until just this week, We've been about three days worth of work behind. Ya know how we're the ones responsible for setting up the aisles and putting out the new product? Well, for the last three weeks up until today, We haven't been pulling the product ourselves for the aisles we just set. We've been having to have help from other teams, That's how far behind we were. The last two weeks before this one was when we had so much work to do that they ACTUALLY payed us overtime. The reason we've been struggling the last couple of weeks is because we've been setting HBA (Health and Beauty). So, the week before last was when we set most of the aisles of Shampoo and stuff like that. Than last week we set various areas, mostly HBA. We set the bath and body works, The perfume and the hair accessories. We also set some of the Intimates the end of last week. This week we set all of the cosmetics. So to have enough time to set it all we worked four 10 hour shifts. On Sunday and Monday we came in at 10:30pm and didn't leave until 9:00am. Then we came in on Wednesday at 3am and didn't leave until 1:30pm. And today (Thursday) we came in a little later at 3:30am because it's pointless to come in early if you have to just sit there for 20 minutes while you wait for them to try and figure out how to override the lights and get them turned back on, Especially when they come on automatically at 3:30am anyway. And we didn't leave until a little after 1pm. We set all of mens socks and the mens hats and belts today. Then we went and did some revisions over in toys. That was not fun! Ya know since it's spring break and all, We had little kids everywhere! They made a mess of the toy aisles. Cris was having THE hardest time out of all of us. She actually had kids purposefully putting toys in her way, They were messing up what she had JUST organized and ya know the labels that go above the hanging product? Well they come on a sheet that has perforated edges. Well one of the kids came over, Grabbed the sheet of labels and tore it in half down the middle! And it wasn't even along the perforated edges! So she had to go all the way to the backroom and print more labels. I can't believe people will just let there kids run wild like that! I would never let my kids do that! So as you may of been able to guess, We've been absolutely exhausted the last 3 weeks. I've been so tired this week that when I would sit down in the break-room for lunch, I would actually start falling asleep. I could literally NOT keep my eyes open! Yesterday and today during lunch I actually dropped my phone because of it. My grip would loosen for just a second and there it went, Clattering to the floor. Poor phone. So I'm pretty happy that I have the next 3 days off. I can sleep as much as I want! After I got home today, I took a 2 hour nap without meaning to. I just sat down and the next thing I know, It's 4pm already. Then I head over to daddys house hangout for a bit before all three of us go to the park to play Frisbee. That was really fun, We haven't done that in a long time! Speaking of fun, We went and checked out the Texas Rodeo and fair the other day. That was awesome! I hadn't been to a fair in many many years. We only rode one ride, But we're all going back on Saturday and we're going to get the all you can ride bracelets and thoroughly enjoy ourselves! As you can tell, I'm really looking forward to it. Aleshia gets back from Springfield MO tomorrow night. She left last Friday night on a bus to visit her family. So she's been gone for a week! Since she's been gone, I've been sleeping on the sofa with mango because that's the only time this week that I've had to spend with him. He has enjoyed it very much! Sleeping on the sofa is also partly why I've been so tired this week. Getting your sleep on a sofa is not nearly as restful as in a bed. But I'll be sleeping there one more night, Then it's back to sleeping in my bed. YAY!!! Another part of why I've been so tired, Especially this week is because me and daddy have started using the gym everyday. We wanna start getting in better shape. Plus we've discovered that you feel a lot better after you workout!

Well I gotta go, Dinner is ready and I'm Starving!! See ya later and I hope you enjoyed hearing what I've been up to :-).

P.S. Here's a pic of the one ride we did get to go on. 

TTYL.

All about my day 8-31-11

My day started out at a little before noon. I woke up to the sound of sizzling bacon on the griddle. While the bacon was cooking, I went to do my body test on the "Wii fit plus". My weight was the same as yesterday's which was 102.1lbs. After my body test the bacon was ready so I went to eat it. Breakfast was 2 pieces of bacon cooked in bacon grease(duh). After breakfast I gathered some clean clothes and went to take a shower. Showering doesn't take me very long since my hair is still short so that's kinda nice. After the shower I got dressed and ready to leave for lebanon mo for our shopping. I wore a blue tank-top and my new size 14girls/kids jeans I got at the mall yesterday and my white flip-flops. The ride to lebanon wasn't very long about 30min if that. We were going to lebanon to price bathroom faucets for the bathroom sink. Ours has been broken for about a week or so. First we went to "Sutherland's" to find out how much they had them for. The cheapest one they had was $13. Of course that was also the most popular one (for obvious reasons) cause they were out of that one. The next one there was $20. So next we went to "Lowe's" to look and price. There cheapest one was $16.61. So that was a good price but we wanted to see if "Walmart" had anything cheaper. So next we went to "walmart" which was only the next drive way over. So before we went to price faucets here, I wanted to find out what there "Gluten free" pasta was made of. Cause I can't eat gluten and that includes corn. So anyway the "Gluten free" pasta was made from brown rice. Which is even worse for you then white rice. So I can't eat walmarts "Gluten free" pasta just like I can't eat regular pasta. So then we went to price faucets and we finally found "our" faucet. It was only $10. Then we went around the store to get, Eggs, Butter, A cantaloupe and Hamburgers. After we bought all that, We went to "Price cutters" to look for this special kind of pasta that's called "Jerusalem artichoke pasta" which is "Gluten free" and tastes just like regular pasta. The brand name of it was "DeBoles" we believe. Anyway, They didn't have it :(. Then we went to the deli section to look for food that mama could eat while driving. Needless to say, We couldn't find any healthy foods that you could eat while driving. So then we left the store and decided to go to "Mcdonalds" since me and mama were hungry and daddy "could eat". So we went and ordered 3 Mcdoubles, 2 small fries and 3 waters for lunch. Now before you say "But mcdoubles have wheat in them", We don't eat the buns. We take the buns off the mcdoubles and just eat the burger part of them. I didn't have fries but mama and daddy did. And we all got water. So the meal was pretty healthy overall. After we were done there we went back to "walmart" because we forgot razors for daddy. So we went and got the razors and we also got me a folder for my client records from when I was working. So after that trip to "walmart" we went home. I took a nap on the ride home. It was a good nap :). Once we got home I got on my laptop and entered all the food I'd had today into "fitday". We checked the mail before we pulled into the driveway. And one of the things we got was a "fingerhut" magazine. Once mama was done reading it, I decided to cut out the pictures of the magazine for a "dream" board or something like that. Once I decided to do that, Mama went to lay down for a nap and daddy was fixing the bathroom faucet. After I was done cutting out the pictures I threw the magazine in the trash. And then I put the pics in my dresser for now since I don't have a cork board to put them on right now. At which point I decided to organize the top of my dresser which was a horrible mess. So It's all organized now and my dresser fan is now on the floor of my closet cause it was in the way on my dresser. And now Latte can jump up there without knocking anything off of it. Afterwards I was kinda nauseous so I made myself some hotdogs without the bun and with mustard and some pickles. After that I came to play on my laptop and enter that food into fitday. Then I played on facebook reading Paleo blogs and articles until it was cool enough to go for a walk with mama. During the walk I was the "Listener" while mama ranted about some stuff. I'm a very good listener, I may not be able to give much advice but I can at least listen. Once we got back from the walk, I did the dishes for mama while she started dinner/Supper. I had to change my shirt after doing the dishes because it got wet. Supper was a large burger patty broiled in bacon grease and tomato sauce. It was delicious! Then again after that I got back on my laptop and entered that into fitday as well. I have eaten 1,212cal today so far. I might eat some more later. I am also going to work out later, Doing 10 push-ups straight backed. I do them with a slight elevation on my front. Then I'll do 12 Pilates. I hold my legs in the air at a 40 or 50 degree angle while I lift my shoulders up and down doing kinda like sit-ups. And that's about it for the day. Oh and we now have hot water from the bathroom faucet. We don't have cold water but I figure at least we HAVE water with the bathroom sink now even though it's only hot water. Thank you all for reading about my day. Byebye.
