so boredddddddddddd
Well, I never thought I'd be sitting here updating and surfing the internet while I'm on the clock, but I am. I am so bored today. There have probably been at the most 5 costumers today. There have been a good amount of phone calls but those don't take long to deal with. It's been horribly hot so everyone is kind of on edge because of that. And as I cleaned the whole freakin' store in the last two days and got everything ready for inventory am stuck with absolutely nothing to do. I read the book Grandma sent me this morning, reviewed some anatomy and could probably do a lot more of that and probably will. I also feel bad just sitting in here while everyone else works outside in the heat. This is ridiculous. But I'm tired of complaining so let's see if I can find anything else to write about.
Last night I started painting my room. I got the ceiling done and it's white and the map of Middle Earth I started to draw up there is no more. I also covered the border. Soon it will be blue...I saw a nice blue today on a website that I liked. I'm thinking of doing another sunset on the basement wall, a bigger one to see how it works. I have this worry, though that that one will turn on really good and I won't be able to do it again on the wall. That's going to be my project though. I alone will be painting that part of my room. Then I'm thinking of spraying my ceiling and part of my walls maybe with glitter spray. I know Scott won't like that, but I'm going to get the kind(if they make it) that's especially for walls and so it won't come off.(on him lol)
Everyone came in for a while and sat in here with me to take a break from the heat, so that was nice. Though they started complaining about Jamie, our manager and I don't always like to listen to that. He's decent enough to me, though I could understand why he gets on people's nerves. I guess what bugs me is people will complain through the roof about a person and then will go and joke around and have conversations with the same person. But whatever.
Julie cracks me up. She's probably my favorite person here. I get the feeling though that life hasn't been that easy for her, which is sad and I wish I could make it so. I don't get Tyler. Some days we'll talk and he's fun and I think I'll miss him when he's gone. But other days he can be more moody than a girl in the middle of pms. I really hope Dan's night last night went well. He was going with this girl he likes to a bar/dance place. He was nervous, but he's a sweetheart and he deserves a girl who'll appreciate him. Unfortunately I probably won't find out how it went til Sunday and by then it'll have been old news and he'll probably have already told people about it. I hate being last to get news.
I've been thinking a lot about having kids lately. I think I'm really going to like it, though when I picture them, it's only at certain ages. Like I'm not sure I want them at others. Maybe I can loan them out during those times? lol. I think I'll like having the cuddly baby. I've had to get up with colicky foster babies and stay up with them all night and I didn't mind terribly so I think I'll be fine with that. Though when I have several other children that won't be so appealing. Ah, what am I thinking? That's what the older children are for! lol. I remember being 11 and babysitting Becca who was about 8 and Armond and Armonda the newborn twins. We had those two for quite a while. Monda sort of became my baby and the boy was Becca's though I really loved them both. One time at church, she fell asleep while I was holding her and I looked up and saw all these people oohing and ahhing over this little whilte baby about Monda's age all dressed in pink and ruffles and lace. And I looked down at my little black baby in her fuzzy pink sleeper and thought: "My baby's way cuter than that one." That was probably a good experience for Becca. I mean she insists she can't change diapers now, but at 8 she knew how to make a bottle, feed the newborn and take care of them quite well. I remember my cousins coming over and they were all worried about her holding them and wouldn't let her take them fully cause they were afraid she wouldn't support the babies heads. And I was like, she can take them as well as you can!
I kind of look forward to the 6 and 7 years, when they'll first be learning to read and tell time and about the body and we'll be going to the zoo and all these different places. I used to think "I'll probably homeschool my kids." Then "I'll only homeschool them if there isn't a good school in the area." But now I really want to keep them at home with me. I am going to have so much fun teaching them. We'll read a gazillion books and make models of the planets and start anatomy and physiology when they're young by tracing them onto brown paper and sticking the organs in. We'll just have so much fun, I don't want to send them to someone else and let someone else have that. I mean, I don't know maybe when they get older, but I'll just see I guess. It depends on a lot of things. But I really want to teach them when they're young. And I think I've had enough of an education to do it.
I still think occasionally about opening my fencing school for the blind. I have this dream of having a fencing school in my basement. It could be designed with that in mind. Maybe I'll actually work with blind kids as an OT. Right now though I think I'll vacuume the break room.
