wishing not to wish


I was so happy to have a little time to see my son! I enjoyed making the tortillas and eating with him on sat. I wish I could have stayed up later on Friday but I get so tired when I have to work! I exercise and then by eight o'clock I am in bed! Then I felt so bad on Sunday when I got home from exercising after work and my hubby says he went up to get me but I had gone to the other gym! So he told me that my son had called if we wanted to meet with us to eat at my favorite restaurant ! Well we didn't get to go!I was to late! Darn it!
I really was impressed with my son when he showed me what he does at his job! He showed me his web site and how it works! I really was fascinated by how much work goes into it! Funny how when I use a web site I don't even think of the work that goes into it! I just go in use it and do what I have to do or play games or puzzles! When I go searching on a site for products I realize now how much work goes into the drop bar!
It just make me so proud of my little baby! (He's gonna love that one) But he is my baby!!!!
I wish I could spend more time with both my children as I suppose most parents do! That saying don't wish away your days is so right! Like when at work I wish I was on my days off! or if I know something on a certain weekend I wish my days away to get there! Or when the kids were small and I wish they walked or wish they could make there own breakfast! But now I just wish to be with them and wish the days would slow down! All I do is wish, wish ,wish.

complaining

Well I skip the gym today as i was just to tired to go! I had to go to a inservice today after work and let me tell you after spending a day and night and day there , two days off isn't enough time to get myself to have some relief from there! That stupid blizzard just had to hit on Thursday! They had signs up from 10.am that we would not be able to leave the premises until further notice! Well I had to stay and work two shifts then I had to try to sleep there and get up and do another shift! The people work very hard to keep it running! They had cooks who made meals for all the staff and residents! The maintenance men work around the clock to remove the snow in case we had a emergency!well all in all we did very good and most of the workers complained but we made it!
Well now we find out that we will not be paid for the time we had to be off the floors! To sleep or really to just lay there! They had some people stay on the down time for sixteen hours and just to work the morning shift! They will not be payed! I think that is just down right rude! Most of the staff did not have a choice! They management called it a emergency and that means we are to stay! Well don't you think they could pay us! You realize people were sleeping in chairs and small couches and on the floor with blankets!
Are supervisor got a bunch of old matrest from the basement up and we laid them on the floor! But it was very uncomfortable!
I at least get paid for my shift and then a overtime shift then no pay to lay there and wish I were home with hubby, then I get reg. pay for my day shift on Friday! ( Which was suppose to be my day off) I know i picked this career but I think they still can pay us something for the down time! There has to be some law to protect us from this! So now we will wait and see if are union has any balls to help us out! The contract I work under states that if you are in the building you will be paid!
