If you haven’t noticed, I have posted a bunch of posts on the same day. I finally have some time to post something, so I am posting it all on one day to make up for lost time. Daisy had spring break this last week, so I only worked a couple of night shifts and spent the rest of the time with her. It was really nice to cut back on some hours and spend some time with the kid. Here are some pictures from an Easter Egg hunt that we went on this week. Kind of funny, she was so excited to see the Easter Bunny this year. She was terrified of him last year, and all she could talk about was how she was going to give him lots of love. But when it came time to walking the talk, she backed out big time. She wouldn’t go near him. Luckily, her friend, Nia, went up with her and she got a little courage from her friend.

~Happy Easter Everyone!~

Daisy started soccer a few weeks ago. She loves to run and has sooo much energy, so I thought she would enjoy soccer. The first practice, she listened to the coach for about fifteen mnutes, but then decided she would rather pick flowers and spent the rest of the practice picking flowers. But now, she has gotten much better at listening to the coach and loves it. She is still scared of hitting the ball with her head, but we are working on that. Here is a pic of her team doing warm-up. (would you believe this was the day after the snow?)

Yes, it snowed this last Tuesday. It has been 60-70, even up to 75 degrees the last month, and one day in the middle of it all, it decides to get down to the 30-40’s and snow! Just for one day, then the temp went back up the next day. The snow only lasted a little bit before it got too warm outside and melted. So crazy. Anyway, Daisy’s friend, Madison, came to our house on Monday and Tuesday because school was out, and they went outside to play in the snow. Well, tried to play in it. it was pretty much melted by the time we got coats, hats, and gloves on.

I did something that I have never done before last Sunday. I walked out of my job (at the gym) and quit. Didn’t plan on it. I actually enjoyed working at the Fitness Center and really enjoyed having a free membership. Plus I have a lot of friends that work there, but new managment royally sucks. They decided to do something with my hours without asking me and it really made me mad. When I tried to talk to them about it, they kept giving me lame excuses for doing what they did, and when I would not accept their lame excusses, they pulled out the complaint card on me (soooo untrue! and BS), but could not tell me what kind of complaints were said about me (soooo double BS!). Suprisingly, I felt so much better after I did that. And, even though I miss going there to work out and hanging out with my friends, I am glad that I did it. And I know that it made my boss mad, because I am the only person there on Sundays, so when I left there was no one there to cover the desk. So he had to come in and finish up my shift. Ha Ha

My other two jobs are going great, though. I have been picking up a ton of hours. Last week I worked 74 hours just EMS (plus 4 hours at the fitness center). I have even been broken from being scared of the haunted base. Seems like they like to schedule me there a lot. The first two nights I worked there, the partner that I was working with babied me and he slept in the living room with me. He slept on the recliner, and I slept on the couch. The first night, I was terrified, and I swear that I heard footsteps. But the last three nights that I have spent there, I have had a different partner and he refused to sleep in the living room with me. He even made me sleep in Millie’s (the ghost’s)  room. I had to sleep with the door open and the hall light on, but I survived and didn’t hear any crazy noises. (people say they hear screams, footsteps, cupboard doors open and shut. also that doors open and shut and lights turn on and off by themselves.) The story is that someone (Millie) killed themselves in the house before it was bought by EMS. There is even a bullett hole in the fireplace in the living room. It is kind of freaky, but I am getting used to the idea of sleeping there now. I still don’t like the idea of sleeping in a haunted place, but I can deal with it.
