Project 366- May 12, 2008

I spent much of my day on the phone. I'd like to say that most of the time I was actually holding conversation with people, but alas that is not the truth. The truth is...I was on hold:S I had some lovely doodles when I got done. It was a good day however, I really enjoy working in the back and having another person there. I feel like some of the stress is taken off of me. I always felt pressured to have lots of conversations with the patients as they waited. I'm more of a task-oriented person when I work so it was difficult to complete tasks and "socialize." Now I can focus on the tasks and then jump into socializing when it is more natural:) Yay! Today was the homeschool track meet. I couldn't go watch since I was at work, but it sounds like it was a HIT! Good job kiddos. Quinn of course didn't participate much...reminds me of a younger version of myself:) It was a lovely day and I even got to enjoy a short stroll amongst nature's beauty after chores. Al

Happy Mother's Day! Happy Birthday Momma! What a big day! Dad had today off. I love it when he gets Sunday's off. Going to church without him feels incomplete. Anywho...we didn't get mom breakfast in bed as she is usually the first one up, but we had a FABULOUS breakfast. It went above and beyond a bowl of cold cereal;) I love my mom and I have a terribly impossible time trying to imagine a better one. I see other people's moms who are great and super, but not a perfect fit for me. God knew our hearts, our dispositions, our strengths, and our weaknesses before we were born and he KNEW that Sheree Slagle would be the absolute best mother for me. My mom has taught me so much and continues to do so every day. I'm so blessed to be able to continue by her side learning, even as a young woman of 24 years.

This is one of my Saturdays. I agreed to work two Saturdays in May at the Garden Center...and I chose the craziest two, Mother's Day weekend and Memorial Day weekend:S I was kind of worried about today being busy and having LOTS of people asking me stuff I don't know. Once again I was worried for no good reason. I had a lot of fun working today actually. (My curse did continue as it was cold, soppy and windy ALL day) I was more helpful than I thought I was going to be. We had four people working besides Ray and Connie which made many hands. I potted three things too! Hurray! I got to work with Clara which was really nice. I love being friends with Clara:) It is comforting to know someone understands the way I feel about things that happen in my day. After work I drove through the downpour to our humble abode. Grandma was there. Happy Mother's Day Grandma! Mom and Dad headed to town for a date, oohhhh. It was a Mother's Day/Happy Birthday date. I too had an engagement fo
