ramblings

Hey all! Sorry I haven't blogged in a while. Been busy and needed sometime just to realx and be with family after the death of my uncle. It has been hard but its always hard when someone you love dies! Things are going ok... Life is life ya know? Kohls is going ok. I haven't been scheduled that much recently. They are giving the hours to the new people that they hire who by the way QUIT after like a week or some the day after they start!!!!! So all the people who have worked their for years or about a year or so have like a lot less hours then what they had had. It sucks but what are ya going to do!? It has been a little hard because people have asked if they could stay longer than their shift and the managers say no. even though most of the time their is hours but they just don't say anything. Like in kids for instance, the supervisor is the only one in the dept. most of the time and they say oh we don't have any hours in there... ya right!!!! And there is a bunch of gaps when people come in. Like on Friday I came in at 4(which I was not scheduled) and my supervisor was leaving at 2. I was actually taking her place b/c she was suppose to work 2-10:30 because she got invited to something and she asked me if I was able to work. well thats all I have for today! I hope you all have a fantastic week! Hope to see some of ya soon!

Please be thinking about my family!

My lovely friends, as I have posted earlier my uncle passed away this on Monday. He was a priest and he was loved by some many people. I ask you to pray for my family and friends tomorrow. We are having the burial and mass. We had a prayer service and it was hard! A lot of priests and people he preached too were there. It was hard. And tomorrow it will be even harder. Please be thinking about my family! Thanks! Right now I have to go to bed b/c I can barely see b/c of crying so much... my eyes are stinging like mad!!!!

Sad day with sad news!!!!

Thanks for praying for my uncle. He couldn't fight the infection that he had in his liver, which unfortunetly killed him. He passed away at around 4:30 or so. This will be a hard week for us. Please keep our family in your prayers. It would be muchly appreciated! Thanks! I love ya all!!!

Prayer request/update on my uncle!

Hey folks! My uncle(who is a priest), Fr. Bill, has been in the hospital this past week and a half or so. He has major liver damage and is going to be getting a liver transplant. Fr. Bill was put on the transplant list at around 11 am this morning. He gets a call saying that there is a liver that he might be able to have. He has a rare blood type so he could get a liver at any time! While my step-dad was at the hospital tonight, he got a call saying that a liver was available and he might be getting it depends if the person before him is a match with the liver. We will find out at around mid-night tonight. Please keep my family in your prayers! Especially Fr. Bill and the doctors and nurses and my parents and his brother Kevin, Chuck(who lives in Arizona) and his sister who will be coming from NJ and stay with us if he does have the surgery! I will post updates as I get them! Love ya! Thanks!

updates on everything.....

Theres not a a whole lot new with me right now!!! Which can be good in a way.... I have been busy working and trying to make time to hang out with friends which at times can be hard. I am really trying to think of what is new.... I can't really think right now b/c I am tired and am starting to get a little headache. Speaking about headaches. I think I might still have lymes disease. I don't know for sure though. My muscles and joints have been achey. Thats all that I really can think of that is new.... until next time! I love you all my friends! Thanks for being my friend!

Prayer needed

Hey all!! As the title says my family needs prayer..... My uncle has not been feeling well for the last week or two. And this week he was admitted to the hospital. We are unsure of what actually has been going on, but we know he has some liver damage and will more than likely need a liver transplant. He has had a series of tests for the past few days he's been in the hospital. The good news about the liver transplant is that he has a semi-rare blood type, therefore, he will probably get a liver faster than most. It has been a little bit stressful on my family. Especially I think my step-dad b/c it is his brother. I will give updates as I get them! Thanks!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BECCA!!!!!

Happy Birthday Becca! Hope your day is awesome!!!! Also Happy Valentines Day Everyone!! Love ya all!!! Take care! It's just another day.... lol!

More updates....

Hey my lovely friends! I have been kinda busy and have not had a lot of time to post... I have been checking to see what is going on with all of you! I miss all of you!!!! I can't wait for summer so we can hang out more(hopefully).... I wish it had not snowed but hey I can't control the weather!!!! It makes me sad because I can't do everything that I want to do and need to do... but oh well.... it can wait.. My youth choir at my church(Sts. Peter and Paul) was suppose to sing tomorrow at 9 am and now b/c of the snow we are not singing.... so yeah... oh well.... shhtuff happens!! And then ya move on.. right? Work is going okk.... just been busy and a little pissed off.... The managers don't understand anything and it gets me upset.... I have to like split myself into like 10 different people(which by the way is impossible) to get all the things the ask me to do. I have to be putting stuff back which is like piled up to the wallazoo!!! I have to go on register for however long I need to be there and then a manager will ask "oh jen how's the recovery(close back on floor)?" I am finding out this job is a lose lose situation. I have to do so many things and nothing gets done especially when they tell me to go to another dept. and then bizitch at me for kids looking like crap! I am getting tired of it, but at the same time I like where I am and what I am doing for the most part...... Please just pray that managers won't be down my throat so much! I have cried once at work because I feel like it is not worth even doing anything b/c people will just mess it up right after you get done fixing it!!! And another time a manager yelled at me for not having gotten done alll the recovery! LIKE I AM SUPERWOMAN!!! I don't think so.... if you want it to get done YOU CAN'T KEEP ASKING PEOPLE TO GO SOMEWHERE ELSE AND EXPECT THE RECOVER TO GET DONE?!?! hELLO!! Ok sorry about that... Im frustrated with them.... well, I hope everyone is doing well!!! ttyl! Love ya!!!!!!

We'll be taking Blogger down on Wednesday the 25th at 4pm PST to fix a bit of a switch that's gone wonky on us. The outage should last about 15 minutes. Blogger.com and Blog*Spot blogs will be inaccessible during this time.This repair will fix the problem that caused the brief outage last Friday night. We're also using this down time as an opportunity to tune our databases for more efficient spam catching and deletion.

busy

Hey all! I have been a little busy. Sorry for not blogging much.. So yeah... things have been a little stressful at work. I think I have told some of you that this girl has been stealing from coworkers. Going into their lockers and taking money. Well, this happened to me twice! I was really pissed! Still am but what can I really do about it? I had told a manager both times. And the 2nd time it happened it was more money so one of the managers paged me and told me to come to the office and write a statement and so I did. This was on a Tuesday I think and then that Friday she tried to steal again from a co-worker. But someone came in and saw her and we now have a camera in the break room where all this was happening! So she got caught and got arrested and taken out of the store handcuffed. We eventually will get our money back. She has to pay us back(its her restitution) and if she doesn't then we individually have to take her to court. Also it has been stressful b/c of the managers keep getting down our throats about everything and they ask us to do things and then an hour later the page you and are like so hows your recovery(returns and crap) and they say oh what have you been doing the whole time?! So it's kind of a lose lose type of situation! Well, hope all of you are doing well!!

Happy New Years!!!!

Happy New Years to all of you!! Things have been really busy with work and doing family stuff!! I have been checking the blogs and all and now I am finally able to take a minute to write some stuff!! Well, Christmas did not feel like Christmas to me but it was and its gone till next year. I got to see a lot of family and friends.

We had our traditional Christmas dinners. On Christmas day we have Chinese Food and then we use to have Johns' Pizza for Christmas Eve dinner but now it is the day after Christmas because of all the kids in the family now who are in plays and what not. I sang at my church on Christmas Eve with the youth choir and we sounded pretty good! It was packed!!!! I have been in that choir for 8 years now! I am one of the "founding" members! The choir director is one of my family friends and I also work with her now at Kohls.

Kohls is starting to slow down but not for returns!!!! Returns are the craziest part at the moment! Things are going pretty well!! Sometimes I get sooo annoyed working there because of the managers. They don't know what they are doing and they screw everything up. And ya get yelled at for not doing something when they told you to do something else.... whatever!!

I got to see my grandmom and aunt on Christmas day and then I will get to see them again sometime soon because we have a family tradition of giving Barnes and Nobles(or for a while it was Borders in DE) gift cards and then we pick a day to go to DE and spend a while there and all. It is always fun and it is always great to see them! I also got to see my grandfather last Thursday. That is him up there!! He said he had to get me a drink for my birthday! so yeah! lol!

I miss hanging out with all of you and I hope to spend sometime with all of you! Love ya and can't wait to see ya! Have a happy New Year!

Random thought

Hey my lovely and wonderful friends!!!!! I have had a pretty good week and it is almost over.... I am happy and very excited to say that my family has a new baby boy. My step-brother and his wife just gave birth to a little baby boy named Chase. Her due date was actually in early January. But he was healthy enough to be born early if it so happened which it did!!! My sister-in-law Janelle had to have a C-section because he was breeched(again).... He was upside down before and Mark(my step-bro) was talking to his butt! It was funny. So Janelle is in some pain! Please pray for her that she will be feeling better everyday!! She and Chase is expected to come home on Christmas eve. Babies really are little miracles!!! I am just so happy for them! All of my siblings except my step-brother kevin is married and has at least one child. Well, MERRY CHRISTMAS AND HAVE A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! I love you all!!!!!

Making Pancakes

Making Pancakes
I got this from my friend Jessica, and decided to repost it because it's so good!Making PancakesSix -year-old Brandon decided one Saturday morning to fix his parentspancakes He found a big bowl and spoon, pulled a chair to the counter,opened the cupboard and pulled out the heavy flour canister, spilling iton the floor.He scooped some of the flour into the bowl with his hands, mixed inmost of a cup of milk and added some sugar, leaving a floury trail onthe floor which by now had a few tracks left by his kitten.Brandon was covered with flour and getting frustrated He wanted this tobe something very good for Mom and Dad, but it was getting very bad. Hedidn't know what to do next, whether to put it all into the oven or onthe stove and he didn't know how the stove worked!. Suddenly he saw hiskitten licking from the bowl of mix and reached to push her away,knocking the egg carton to the floor. Frantically he tried to clean upthis monumental mess but slipped on the eggs, getting his pajamas whiteand sticky.And just then he saw Dad standing at the door. Big crocodile tearswelled up in Brandon's eyes. All he'd wanted to do was something good,but he'd made a terrible mess. He was sure a scolding was coming, maybeeven a spanking. But his father just watched him.Then, walking through the mess, he picked up his crying son, hugged himand loved him, getting his own pajamas white and sticky in the process!That's how God deals with us. We try to do something good in life, butit turns into a mess. Our marriage gets all sticky or we insult afriend, or we can't stand our job, or our health goes sour.Sometimes we just stand there in tears because we can't think ofanything else to do. That's when God picks us up and loves us andforgives us, even though some of our mess gets all over Him.But just because we might mess up, we can't stop trying to "make pancakes" for God or for others. Sooner or later we'll get it right, andthen they'll be glad we tried...I was thinking. .. and I wondered if I had any wounds needing to behealed, friendships that need rekindling or three words needing to besaid. Sometimes, "I love you" can heal & bless! Remind every one of your friends that you love them. Even if you think they don't love back, you would be amazed at what those three little words, a smile, and a reminder like this can do.Just in case I haven't told you lately... I LOVE YOU!!!Please pass some of this love on to others....suppose one day youwere called to God; do all your friends know you love them?Send this to those you love. And never stop "making pancakes.""May you be blessed by the LORD, who made heaven and earth." Psalm 115:15

update galore!

Wow, I feel so bad not updating in such a long time!!!! I hope everyone is doing well!!!! I miss all of you!!! Things are going ok for me.. I got a BRAND NEW car!!!!!!!!! Thanks to my step-dad. It is a Honda Civic. The color is matellic greyish color... its pretty!! I love it!!! I really like working at Kohls.... I got hired at The Halloween Store but I am not going to work there for two reasons.... one being my step-brother knows the people who own the place and he found out that if you are under(doesn't matter how much) or over closing the drawer you get arrested..... I don't/can't have that happening to me... If anyone would like to know why just email me... Don't feel like getting into it.... And the other reason is also because my step-brother said he knows a lot of people that go into the hospital b/c of burn out once the store closes.... I need to be working but if I can endanger myself then I am not going to work there!!!! I don't really have that much else to say I hope you all are well! Love ya alls!!!
