Here is to 1 year!

Can anyone tell me where the time has gone?

I find it so hard to believe that it has already been a year that I was saying my farwell's to my family and to my friends and heading out here to Alberta to be with the man that I love.

There are times that I miss everyone so much, but I remind myself that I will see you all soon. I know that christma is still a ways off, but it will come...

Coming out here was somehow one of the easiest and hardest things I have ever done. Easy because of what I was moving towards, Pat. Hard because I moved so far away from my family and everything I have ever known in my life.

The two have come together though, Pat is a part of my family and the other half that makes me whole.

I love you and miss you all.
Take care.

Goodbye A&W

One of the hardest things I have had to do, I wuit my job at the A&W, and all because of my stupid knee.
I really liked my job, and that is what made it hard to quit.

But I plan on babysitting, and today we went out and I picked up a buch of things that I need to do a craft box, and I got a call last night from one of my regular customer's letting me know that a friend of theirs is going to donate some toys to me to help me out..so I won't have to worry so much about filling a toy box for kids, and I have already got a few items for the custume box. I also picked up some plastic cups and bowls..I'm getting there. I miss taking care of kids..and out here I can get paid good to do it...It's not about the pay, but it is sure going to help for Christmas.

when Pat's away Tammie will.....

...be absolutely fine!

Today makes 6 days that he has been gone to Ontario, yesterday was his birthday. He'll be going to visit his parents over the weekend and will be home sometime Wednesday just to turn around on Thursday to go to Edmonton for a doctors appointment.
I have been busy with work, I've had one day off since he left, my next is Sunday, so I'll be calling Dad and wishing him a Happy Father's Day, just like I called him this Sunday, after I got home from work, to wish him a happy birthday.

The school year is almost over and so is my job at the A&W. One of the coffe ladies told me she is going to tie me up and take me to her house becaue she doesn't want me to leave the A&W. Funny how it is, this is hte same lady who, on my very first day of working there, ws very rude and commented on the size of my butt.
Yup funny the way things turn out isn't it.

I really like my job though and I will miss the people, but I have to think about what is going to be best for me right now, and that is going to mean being off my leg for a little bit, at least with taking care of kids I get to sit down with them.

Plus I won't hav eto worry about dealing with the drunk customers that come in every now and then and start hitting on me, I hate that. If someone is going to hit on me, I'd rather they were sober*L*.

ANyway time to get ready for work.
Take care and Love to All.

Ok I am spazzing out a bit here...
Turns out my transportation to and from work has fallen through and I have no idea what I am going to do.
Pat leaves saturday morning, he won't be back until the 20th and then he has to turn right back around on the 21st and go to Edmonton to see a doctor about his wrist.
I have absolutely no idea what I am going to do, but I have to figure it out, I'm not done until the end of the month and I realy don't want to stop before then...
This afternoon before my shift was done my boss came to me with a piece of paper in his hand, something that he was sent from head company today, it doesn't happen to often I guess but apparently head office recieved an e-mail from a customer of our store who came in yesterday, Phil told me usually when a customer writes to head company it's to complain and then he got me to read the letter.
It was a really nice letter and my boss had a big smile on his face. The letter was about me and how well I treated the customer who was in with her children, how she was impressed that I seemed more interested in talking with her children and treating htem like people and not just customers who I wanted to get i n and out as quickly as possible, that I made them feel welcome.
Then he took the letter back and pinned it up on the corkboard right inside the kitchen door so everyone could see it.
It made me feel really good, especially since I made made a teenager cry today...I was talking to him the same way that I was talking to everyone else, and all I told him was if he wanted me to serve him he had to step over to the till, he left the store crying...
SO today has had it's ups and downs, now I just have to figure out my transportaion problem.
Later, Love to All

I have the weekend off, for the first time in a very long time. The only reason I have it off is that I booked it off. The reason I booked it off is becasue I am going to Llyodminster with Pat today. The 4 Wing band is going to be performing.
He goes away to Trenton next weekand he will be gone for about 11 days or so.

Anyway, the news on my end...I gave Work my notice, as of the end of June I wil no longer be working at the A&W.
I told my boss the other night, and he is happy that I am going to stay as long as I am going to. I also told him to keep my name on the call list and if they got really desperate and they needed a hand to give me a call and if I could do it I would. But as it stands my leg is killing me more and more, I'm in pain alot and I need to be off of it for awhile, so I am going to start babysitting again, I've already had a couple of peopl saying they would like me to work for them. Os we will see if that pans out and if it doesn't I will see about working taking care of kids in my home through the MFRC, at least the pay would be decent.
Anyway, I have to finish getting ready to go.Take care and Love to All.
