Holidays

So I finally went to see Allison, Devin and Baby Sam. On Christmas day I went over to Allison's parents house ( they live near Chad) and took Caleb with me, Allison had not seen Caleb since he was Sam's age. Caleb was a bit put off by Sam's cries, but got over it when he saw all the toys left out from Allison's niece and nephew.

Winter in the AZ !!!

his first winter beenie

#1 Here I am sledding with Caleb, he had a look of confusion and worry on his face.

#2 Caleb is now tall enough to open the doors in the house so, all the handle have been turned so it is harder for him to open them .

# 3&4Caleb is showing his distaste in touching snow(ice) trucked in for the kids of Vistancia,

and him playing in his stroller.

work.....

So I answer phones and do data entry, there are three of us who answer all the calls and send them to who they need to go to. I have always been the receiver of people venting their complaints, for a while I was planning on being a therapist. So at work I hear a lot of stuff about one person in particular so I had been taking notes and when her performance began to affect me I went to my boss who didn't want to listen, so I went to the HR manager who listened and then my boss arranged a meeting for those involved. The person of interest got very defensive when the issue was mentioned and lashed out at me. I am not surprised but, you would think now that the issue was put on the table she would be aware of the problem and fix it the next day..... I was wrong. This issue is still happening and my boss either doesn't believe us or just doesn't want to hear it.... I am sure the saga will continue.

Where does the time go?

So today is December 10th and I have no idea where the year has gone. I have just been living everyday as it comes and I wonder if time flies by as fast for other people.


I just visited my my family in Texas and attended the funeral of the man I considered my grandfather. He was actually my great Uncle but both of my grand fathers passed before I was born so, Mr Ernest Mayfield was it for me. I spent on summer there when I was six years old and never wanted to go back basically because of the way my aunt (his wife) treated my brother and me. My Uncle was my saviour that summer, he is the one that put me in my first official swim lessons which later led to my being a competitive swimmer. He was an avid gardener and I remember pulling lettuce and carrots from the garden for dinner. He was big on family and community and was a basketball coach and a Dad to many children and relatives.

Uncle Ernest you are missed greatly!
