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.

Karaoke in dallas and fun in Austin

Lets see, what's happened since I last posted... Late last month (may) Me and my Father drove down to dallas tx to watch my cousin Allison's performance in the karaoke semi-finales! She made it through to the finales! She was amazing!! and she's only 10! We stayed the night at their place since the semifinales were from 7:30pm to 10:00pm and it was a 3hr drive from Austin to Dallas. I was so proud to know her! When we got home the next day, We went down to the front office of the apt complex for a Ice cream social. The Ice cream was  delicious!

Since then, We've went to play pool at slick willies pool hall a couple of times. Last time I only won once! And it was by default! :). This last park day turned into a pool day. The pool was HUGE! It went from three foot deep in the shallow end to 12 foot deep in the diving area, It had to lanes for lap swimmers, and it was Frickin Huge!! LOL. :P. Not to long after we got to the pool, a bus load of kids got there. It got very loud very quickly. But we enjoyed ourselves hanging out with some of the other homeschooler/unschoolers.

Oh I almost forgot to mention, The week after the semi-finales in the karaoke contest....... Allison won the finales!!!!! YAY!!! We've also gone to Zilker park a few times and played Frisbee with our Frisbee ring.

Yesterday, We went to the Blanton Art Museum in downtown Austin. I had never been to an art museum before. It was pretty awesome! We walked around for 2hrs looking at a bunch of the art displays.

Lately I've been playing a game called"The legend of Zelda: Skyward sword". After over 30hrs of game-play, I'm almost finished with it. I just have one last boss area to complete. It's the final boss(Of course). And the final boss is always the hardest.

I have been cutting out sugar from my diet since wednesday. So far I'm doing pretty good, It's been hard though, What with Ice pops being just inside the freezer and cookies just down the way in the front office. But It's so worth it! I feel so much better when I don't eat sugar. :).

I'm still looking for work, Though admittedly not as hard as I could be looking.

Well, That's all I can think of for now. TTFN!

Park day and wireless internet

So daddy joined a Austin unschool email group a few days ago. And we went to a park-day yesterday that they organized and got to meet some of them. Me and Eldin met and walked around the park with a girl called Cela. Turns out that me and her have at least a little bit in common which is pretty cool. The park was pretty big. It had a man-made lake in the middle of it that had a whole bunch of ducks and geese in it. I don't think I've ever seen that many ducks and geese in one place before. Then when Cela and here family had to leave, Me, Eldin and daddy went to play some Frisbee just down from the playground. That was pretty fun. After park-day we had Lunch at Jack-in-the-box. It was really good! Then we stopped at H.E.B and picked up some peanut butter and bacon and then came home. Today so far all we've really done is go to the bank and come back home. We're going to go work out at our little fitness room later. Oh! Me and Eldin are now going to have broadband wireless just like daddy! We're having it installed tomorrow 3-2-12. It'll be nice not having to worry about whether our connection is gonna stay or disappear. Well That's all I got for now. Hope you enjoy! Have a wonderful day, Byebye!  :-)

Random Ramblings and Looking for work.

Hi, Long time no write :-P. We have settled in pretty well to our new life in Austin Texas. It's been hard adjusting to life without mama but we're doing it. We went to Zilker park a few days ago and loved it. It's such a pretty park. We tried to play Frisbee but 1. it was to windy and 2. we were trying to play with a .98cents Frisbee. So that didn't work out too well. But then we went and walked along the hiking path and a pedestrian bridge across the river. We got to see people kayaking and river surfing which was awesome! We also saw a White crane/Egret thing on a branch near the water. So that was a fun day! Now we have a better Frisbee but the weather hasn't cooperated with us, so we haven't been able to play Frisbee yet.


Every other day we go down to the workout room and exercise. Otherwise we hang out at the apartment or in the hot-tub, and sometimes we go to the store.

We walked down to the library yesterday. It was a really nice library :).  It even had Manga that I've heard of before and It also had a Dog Bible which I thought was cool.


Today is workout day so we will be doing that later. Earlier today we went and checked out a arcade called Pinballz, It was pretty awesome!


I have been looking for work for a month now though I haven't been looking very hard. All I've done so far is put applications in online. Today I put in a few applications to Starbucks. If they haven't called in a few days I will go in and do a follow up in person on my application. If they don't have any positions available I'll do the same at McDonald's and Taco-bell and Pizza hut in turn. So I will be trying much harder now to get a job.


We just got our apartment sprayed against roaches earlier today, Since we keep seeing one here and one there Daddy decided that we should tell the apartment head and they sent a person out here to spray along the baseboards. Well that's about all that's been going on for now. Bye Bye and Thanks for reading <3.
