February 07 gest and last week at workLATTE OF THE DAY: RASKLEBERRY RASPBERRY, HUCKLEBERRY, CHOCOLATE THIS IS BEST IF YOU USE RASPBERRY SMOOTHIE BASE AND BLEND IT ALL... BUT TASTES YUMMY WARM....
WORD OF THE DAY:
gest: n. a notable deed or feat.
I had an awesome week of work last week... yes I still had some nasty mean customers but some people are just that way... there is no getting around that... but we were also told on Friday or Saturday that we were the number one deli in our district, saleswise that is... that means we outsold the other Smith's deli's in our district and from the paperwork I was shown, we outsold them by a lot in deli speak... this is a good thing considering we have only 4 of us that work in the deli all week long... we are undermanned and under-houred and still managed to outsell the others
 PLUS it was a corporate visit week... which means we had to do extra cleaning because it was a backroom walk visit to make sure everything was still clean and in the order that they want it to be in... they were in the store at the moment I cut my finger...it was the district deli manager that told me to go to urgent care and have it looked at because we could not get it to stop bleeding...
PLUS my supervisor left for her vacation right after the visit... which is why I was working so much last week... which means that we all did great... made her look great...
and well there is more.........
Superbowl Sunday started a new work week for us... on that day alone we did well over $2000 in the deli... that is a busy busy day for us... and I opened the deli that day... I had it all up and ready to run a half hour before the deadline time... I had everything looking great, as the store director stated to me... it was an awesome day at work...
Would that be my gest of the week? To me it is... is it notable to anyone else? probably not... Does it really matter to anyone else? no... Does it matter to me? yes... will it be remembered in the future? probably not... but I will remember...
I think part of what I realized in the midst of the funk is that I want more out of my life than to feel like a slave to my family... I want more than just cleaning and cooking for them and not being appreciated for what I do... I don't want to be taken for granted anymore and that is what it is that I am to be learning... I think I am to be learning to just be happy and grateful for what I have and what I don't have.... February 06 bumpy road signsLATTE OF THE DAY: ROCA PEEL ALMOND ROCA AND ORANGE
It's never stops amazing me how many signs there are placed in our lives that we either overlook or are too busy to notice... little every day signs that God place in our lives to get us back on track or to show us the path HE has chosen for us...
Everytime I have tried to get on the computer to work on a blog something else has come up... some of them have been needed interruptions... some of them have been rather irritating...
I hope those that watched the superbowl enjoyed it... I watched it with my children... we have a tradition that started a few years ago of playing poker while we pig out and watch the superbowl... we have lots of fun doing it... just me and the kids... Mrfit has slept every Sunday afternoon for several years because he works graveyards and our Sunday night is his Monday shift... so it is just the kids and I... or more precise Jett, Becca and I... Tom plays on his computer in the same room... It was the first activity we have done as a family like that in a long time...
I have been feeling like we are just 5 people living in a house together... that we have moved away from being a family because of this or that... mostly personality conficts that we can not seem to resolve and get past...
As I have said before it is like no one wants to accept their portion of responsibility for the things that take place in our house and it all falls onto me... I get the blame for everything even if I am not present when it happens... I think they blame me that way BECAUSE I am not present...
I fell into the funk I was in because I got tired of fighting to keep the family together... I fell into the funk because it depresses me to think that all they want me around for is to clean and cook and pick up after them and run them around and buy them whatever they want even if it means not paying the bills that I should have paid...
I felt lost and confused... unloved... unliked... I know it was all in my head... I know that they do love me and want me around for more than just to be their little slave...
I prayed to God to show me what it was I was missing... I prayed for guidance and an inner peace... that is when the signs started... I actually was pumped about working a full week
to make it even better it was one of the busiest weeks we have had in a couple of months... and I got to open a few of the days... my supervisor went on vacation and I filled in the extra hours and had a blast... even if it did make everyone I live with mad at me... Signs... I have not been allowed to do dishes in over a week because of my finger... no one seems to be able to do them here for me so they just keep stacking up and I will not give in and go against the doctor's orders... I must let my finger heal...
Signs... do not give in and get depressed... there are actually other people out there that do care about me and love me despite what those I live with make me feel... I do not have to allow them to make me feel that way... it is a choice that I make... they do not have control over that part of my life... that is a sign that God gave me... it came with the inner peace...
Am I better??? No, I know deep down I have a long way to go... a long road to travel before I will ever be better... I can only pray and do my best to follow God's will for me... If I remember to listen to HIS signs, then the funk I was in will be no longer and the road a bit less bumpy...
