Long time no "see"...

I am sorry it's been awhile. I'm sorry that I haven't updated you because a lot of exciting things have happened. And by the time I get around to actually typing it all up, I'm sure I'll forget something. Oh well, I'm tired and I have to get up super early for work tomorrow. Also I'm super tired from a busy day starting at 5 am to get to work at 6 to realize I wasn't supposed to be there, then practiced, then had a glorious lunch with a new & improved mature Payton, then went stand-up paddleboarding with Andrew, then went and worked out with the ladies at the church. I'm pooped.

I apologize

I apologize for only ranting when on this blog. I seems that every time I end up making it to posting something I don't have any exciting news to share, but rather steam to blow off. Well the only exciting and slightly fascinating thing that has happened today was I worked out at Planet Fitness with Annemarie, Norah, Becca, Julie & Jessica.  It was a grand old time. I ran in to two other PHS alumni, one was a skitch and partied way too much. The other was a redhead that I always thought was super cute, he was on the basketball team and was always buff and single... Oh well I'm not even sure if I remember his name correctly.
Becoming more and more like an adult and realized the bank tellers probably think I'm stupid because I've put down the wrong deposit amount twice now.
I made it home and fell in love with my dogs all over again!
Then I made myself an awesome breakfast including a plumicot. Plum + apricot = Plumicot. It was incredibly yummy!
Now I have to figure out what all I have to do today. You know how when you're driving home and you think of all the things you need to do, then by the time you make it home you forget ALL OF IT! Ugh. Oh well I'm pretty sure it includes ordering books, organizing my binders, and recruitment nonsense. Oh yeah and eventually I need to do back to school shopping.

Liep, Michelle
P.S. Don't worry it won't be just words, eventually I'll start posting outfits and workouts... maybe haha!

Confession

Sometimes I imagine I'm driving past my future husband. I imagine that he sees me and thinks hmmm she's pretty cute. So whenever I drive I'll act like I'm cooler than I actually am! I'll sit a little taller, or slouch a little more just so I don't look prissy. I crack myself up.

Sick of it...

I am presently sick of these things:
- Working on Sundays
- Missing out on the College Group
- Having to do everyone else's job while at work
- Being friendzoned
- Bad coffee
- Personal procrastination
- Fox News
- How easily my room can get messy
- How fast my summer disappeared
- Having to keep working on these things that don't have deadlines (or deadlines that are coming up way too quickly)

Goda Golfers

I got to play golf with my Dad and sister, actually it was more like I laughed with them. I can't ever take a round with my dad seriously! He cracks me up especially when he plays with Mag because he gets on her. Actually he funniest when he's playing bad because he does and says funny stuff. Until I fell apart and my stomach was aching. I played awfully but I still beat both of them courtesy of a few mulligans. It's funny how I can still beat them after only playing 18 twice this summer & 9 holes about 5 times. But I don't know how I feel about taking the PAT this fall. I know I already have a caddie, but I don't think I'm ready... nor will I ever be.
Liep,

Scary Week

Let me just run down the past week that has run me down.
Monday: Little girl gets hit in the head and we have to call the ambulance.
Tuesday: My "day off" and I have to take Maddy to the vet to find out she had a fever because of the gash she had taken out of her face after fighting a raccoon. She ended up having to wear the cone of shame and stay inside that night so she didn't get over heated. I had to sleep with the drowsy doggy downstairs. As cute as she is, she wore me out. I was so nervous because I was afraid that she would end up getting more sick or not heal. I just didn't want her to get any worse. I don't know how I'm gonna handle having a kid.
Wednesday: I found out that Haris Suleman's plane crashed and they found his body in the Pacific Ocean and they still haven't found Babar (his father). He was going to be the youngest person to fly around the world, in the shortest amount of time. The worst part is, he was 17 hours away from getting home. He was 17, 17 hours away from home. Tragic. Yusuf was the one to tell me, while I was at work. I had a dream that I watched someone die while I was working and I couldn't keep working because of how hard I was crying and how distraught I was. Thankfully that did not happen, but I did tear up a little and cry on the way home.
Thursday: I was finally able to go on vacation! I went with Mom, Mag, Kate, and & Shelly to Holiday World. It had been an incredibly long time since I had gone but I'm glad I did. We were able to go on some of the new rides and even meet some people from Tennessee.  But it was determined that I am an old woman. After I was sore from roller coasters, got tired after lunch, & to top it off the Voyage killed me. I drooled and couldn't handle how bad my head hurt from the rattling the coaster gave me.
Friday: I made it all the way out to work to find out they didn't need me. But my supervisor was very caring and recognized how taxed I was from the week and offered his support. I have had a very tough time reading schedules apparently and only worked one hour today. Grrr.
So that's that. It's almost over though! Thanks goodness!

Horrifying Day

Today I learned what it feels like to be responsible for someone's child when they get seriously injured and I never wanna feel that way again. Today one of our junior golfer was hit in the head with a golf club. I'm not saying it was my fault but it might as well have been. I really wish I had been able to stop it or had made a change to the situation. Anything. Made her hit her ball first. Made him go grab another club. Made her grab another club, or even just back up. I know it's not entirely my fault, but I do blame myself to some extent. But fortunately, as soon as she was hit she was able to walk and I picked her up and carried her to another mother with a golf cart. I felt something warm on my ear and pulled her away and found out she was bleeding, that was the one thing that freaked me out. The realization that this was real and she could pass out in my arms. So I said, Oh my god blood. The member mom kinda took over after I set her on the cart, she was slightly more calm than I was after putting a towel on her wound. She drove her up and I was already on the radio telling James to get the emergency contacts and be ready to call 911. She took her up to the golf shop and James took care of her. I had to hold it together while they took care her. I had the kid that hit her and his sister complaining about wanting water or their golf ball or their personal golf clubs and it took everything in me not to say do you not realize you nearly killed a little girl?! But of course they had no idea, they didn't know any better and their mom didn't want them to either. I found out later that her mom had been down at the pool and right before the ambulance showed up the little girl nearly had a seizure or passed out, and the mom started crying out oh my god my little baby. James nearly broke down right there. I can't blame him. I was about to start crying about five times during the gap between the hit and the finding out she was ok in the ambulance. I finally got the chance to after James returned and asked me if I was ok. I told him I needed to cry while I was scraping some of her blood off of my ear and hand. That got me. Right there. Her blood was on my hand, and I was less than 50 yards from where it happened. And I told him I needed to cry. So I did. He hugged me and I cried and told him I blamed myself and he repeated it wasn't my fault, we prayed about it. I had to tell some other people what had happened and it was hard everytime not to blame myself. But I have realized that it's not my fault. But now I will do everything in my power to never let it happen again. Also, when I normally do blame a coworker for certain difficulties in the job... this time I was glad he screwed up once this morning because if I had made him do something then he would've been there when it happened and wouldn't have handled it correctly. SO praise the Lord James and I were there and took care of the situation. I hate that it happened. And I never want it to happen again. Trusting God to forgive me for this accident will but hard but it is necessary because  I have a whole week of junior golf ahead of me, so look out juniors I will be the safety Nazi this week!
