Brokenheartsandconcretefloors

Don't ask me why I titled my blog like that, but I did so there..

It's bad enough that I have to get up at four thirty to go to work, but it's even worse when, at four thirty I get a call telling me I need to get there ASAP... So I get dressed and head on over, and I see these two people outside the front door sweeping.. and I didnt recognize them a)because it was dark out and B) because it was four thirty in the morning. So there I was... And I was thinking to myself what the hell is going on..?

And So I get closer to the store, and realize it's my assistant manager and a shift supervisor, and first words out of my mouth "did I miss something here?"

The front door was busted wide open - glass - everywhere... we got broken into last night, and whoever it was stole about $4000 worth of merchandiase.. That's messed up man.. I mean, for starbucks, it's not that big of a deal, they make a whoooooooole lot of money, but the more intense thing is that someone stole a whole wack of stuff from starbucks in DEEP COVE!

yeah.. it was a strange morning..

Who does that??????


arg.. anyways

I just wanted to blog about that.. It was a tiring day.. dealing with all that stuff and yeah..
tonight im going out with a bunch of girls from work.. should be fun!

aaah my eyes! my eyes!

So Im sitting there in the eye doctors place and getting my eyes tested, and it's so funny cause the lady goes "this little green light is gonna keep getting closer and closer, but I PROMISE it wont touch your eye.." and I obviously knew that, but then all of the sudden it's like PFFT and this spurt of air goes into my eye - so freakin random, and it shocked me.. oh anyways that was a fun experience..

yeah so at the end, the doctor tells me that I got a wierd thing with my left eye, which can either be treated with glasses (cost: $700) or a corrective surgery.. (cost: $2000.... per eye...)

GUESS WHAT I CHOSE! ! ! !


So yeah I'll be getting new glasses next week, im excited cause they look good on me and yeah.. cool..

Anyways my eyes are hurting right now, looking at this screen so Ima peace for now..

See y'all later

askin for a miracle

If anyone ever asks you, "have you ever seen a miracle?", come to my house and talk to my dad for a few minutes..

Then go back and say "Yes."

out of the woods

Ok so I know it's been awhile, but I really do have an excuse.. and if you read my last blog I think you'd permit me the absence that I took from blogging. Anyways It would seem that Im back now, tho Im not promising anything spectacular or fabulous, only me and my tired ass self...
So here I am... my days for the last long time have been spent doing one or all of four things. One of them is working. We have some serious staffing issues - as in - our staff is dissapearing at work! So I've been working a whole lot of hours, which you wont find me complaining about cause Hours means money and also a good distraction from the other three things on my list of things to do..
Another thing on that list is to be in the hospital with my dad.. He's still in there, and up until yesterday, the family had very little hope for a fast recovery, but it would seem that a miracle has occured and my dad is slowly but surely coming back to us.. it's freakin awesome!
Ok so another thing you'd find me doing in the past three weeks and the days to come is going to the airport. I've picked up my brother and his wife, I've picked up my grandmother, and I was also gonna go pick up another person who was gonna come suprise my brother and his wife but that never worked out.. Soon I'll be taking my grandma to the airport again and yeah.. that's been fun.
The other thing you would have/will find me doing is spending time with my family. It's hard not to when they're at the hospital all the time with us and at the house and wow it's just been one big family fest.
But you know what, Im not complaining at all because without all the family and people around us I dont think my mom and I would have made it to where we are right now - and that is not insane.. ahahah.. ok mabye we are a bit insane, but then again, isn't everyone?

Today My dad quoted some songs to me.. its just another step on the road to recovery.. actually a great one.. Yesterday he asked me to buy him a mini dvd player cause he was getting so damn bored in that hospital. Well I went and priced them out and they were close to 200 - and i didnt have that. So when I walked into his room today without one he was kind of dissapointed.. but wait it's not over yet.. Someone from the church was there in the room (your mom, Hillary, is a fabulous woman) and she goes "I've got mad money, and I've been wondering how to help you, and your dad seems bent on having a DVD player" so she tears a cheque out of her book and hands it to me and says "Go get him one as soon as you can.."

And I did.. and he's happy... not so bored any more...

there arent many words that can describe how happy I am about my dad's quick recovery.. but I mean I tried to sum it up in this little post..

there's a whole lot of things going thru my head right now - plans for the future ? my family might want to move to alberta. I dont know if Im ready for that yet.. so I think I'll be sticking around awhile longer.. but I can't speak for them.. either way we'll see what happens.
I've learned with my dad that we just have to take things one day at a time.. cause there's no telling whats gonna happen next. However I feel like I should be thinking like that in all situations.. Why worry about tomorrow? God provides for the sparrows - why should we worry about what he's gonna do for us.. cause (and im not quoting perfectly, i know, i know) if he cares for the birds think how much more he cares for us.. he's not gonna let us down.. So we shouldnt worry about it..

Yeah.. anyways that's all for now..

im exhausted, excited, happy and ready for bed.. so here I come! ! !


woo thanks for all your prayers guys - but we arent out of the woods yet..

soon ...

Love always

PS shrieves, I miss you like crazy...

so?

Things don't always work out the way we want them to, or the way we think they will. Sometimes we don't even see it coming. We get hit with some form of pain out of nowhere leaving us feeling desperate and helpless. That's the way life is. Still, it makes us wonder how God can let these things happen to us. How God can just stand by and watch us suffer. Where is God when it really hurts? Maybe God is actually closer to us than we think. Maybe it's when we're in these situations, where everything seems to be falling apart, that God gets an opportunity to remind us of how much he really loves us. I hope I figure this out soon

Bah....
