Opening Day 2007

So today was opening day for the Cincinnati Reds and although i could not be there because of work, i did however watch the game while working.  I was really happy to see that they won!! it was a good game. and it was perfect weather, unlike last year when i went the weather was crummy and i was cold the whole time.

On other news, Florida won the NCAA game!! i'm happy i had them going all the way with Ohio State, which actually came true. Finally, one of my brackets actually came true.  When i first filled the bracket out, in the first round i actually one 16 games on one side, completely shocked me but after that, i started losing. but my team that i had picked won, so i'm happy.

In a few short weeks i'll be heading up to Indiana to see my wonderful grandparents and my wonderful cousin!! i can hardly wait, leaving friday and coming home sunday!! its going to be great!!!

Well so much is happening right now.  I just turned 23 on October 16th, don't feel any different than i did before.  School is driving me crazy.  Work is driving me crazy too, but thank God i'm quitting JCP.  Next thursday is my last day!!!! 

On other news, it's been one year, since I got some devestating news that my grandpa had just passed away.  I still can't believe that it's been a year, i think about him from time to time and wonder if there was anything different I could have done better as a granddaughter.  First off, i know i could have had him meet my boyfriend tim when he came up for my brother's graduation last year, but i was too embarrased by my grandpa that i didn't  have them meet. yea i know what your thinking i'm a bad granddaughter, but i don't know what came over me.  and then when he scared the crap out of me when the tree fell down at his house and could have hit hime and my dad, and then a couple of weeks later he's in the hospital having a heart attack and then after being in the hospital for about a month he passes away.  i'll neve forget the day that mom and dad came into the break room at JCP and told me, i was hysterical, crying and screaming and everyone is looking at me.  it was the hardest thing i've had to go through.  then the whole week preparing for the funeral and then going to the funeral.  i remember one time when my family was sitting down for dinner and we were talking about the funeral and other arrangements and gwen said she didn't want to go to the funeral and mom said was it because you don't want to admit to yourself that he is actually gone? well that pretty much tore the family up right there, everyone was crying.  I've never cried so much at a funeral but i cried the whole time that my eyes were burning from crying.  It was the saddest day that i had to go through.  I was supposed to call him on my birthday and i just kept putting it off the whole day and by that tuesday i remembered i was supposed to call him, so i told myself that i would do it the next day.  well that never happened.  I miss my grandpa, and i love him very much and can't wait till i get to heaven to see him again.  I love you grandpa!!!

New Job

Well today was my first day working at The Anderson Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.  It was fine, I was very nervous.  I walked in and found out I was working with someone, which THANK GOD! was an answer to prayers.  I was afraid I would be by myself and completely screw up.  It was hard work, different then what i'm used to, and it fills up a lot time because you are always rushing from room to room to either answer their call light or to turn them over on their side. It wasn't as busy as i thought it would be, i thought that their would be more call lights going off but there wasn't.  But tomorrow is another day, b/c i'm with someone else in a completely different hall in a completely different wing.

So alot has happened since i last posted.  I got the job at The Anderson, I start this Friday night, a bit nervous, but I know I'll get the hang of it, besides I'm making more now than I do at JCP.  I'm still planning on working one day a week at JCP at least until Christmas. (for now) we'll see.  So thats about all thats been happening with me besides hanging with Tim.

Now the whole thing with the Marcus kid. Why did they do it?  A friend of mine pointed out last night, that was why they moved into another house so fast right after they came out and said he was missing.  Trying to cover it up, but apparently it came back and bit them in their butt!!!  I think it is just sickening, I don't understand why people have to hurt a little kid who has a little problem, if they couldn't take care of him and didn't want to take care of him, they could have put him in another foster home.  It's still sad to hear about it though.

That's about it for now. Peace.
