Wal-Mart : The High Cost of Low Price
By Greg Spotts
see related

So... I think I got hired at Wal-Mart... overnight stocking. I am actually excited about it because I put in my application and got called for an interview the next morning.  Aaron and I desperately needed me to find a job or else we would be eating Ramen noodles for the next six months and walking everywhere we needed to go. The only weird thing is that I don't know any girls who have ever done stocking and I'm afraid I won't be strong enough. What if I have to stock the kitty litter or something? : ) Hopefully I'll be able to stay awake too. Wish me luck!!!

Well it's been like a million and a half years since I have updated... I have been sitting in my dungeon of an 'apartment' for like a week with the blinds closed. Aaron and I now live in Boyd (the married dorms) and I look both ways before leaving the house because I think someone might see me. It is so tiny, but we are kind of adjusting. I barely get dressed and taking a shower seems like a chore (espesially since the hottest the water gets in the shower is luke warm). But  now I am sitting in CBC's computer lab with all the 'hard working' students and taking up a computer someone could be using to do homework. I had to walk across campus to get to the lab and realized that I can't even fake fitting in. I had a "GIANT Coloring and Activity Book" from Wal-Mart (it has a giant bee and flowers on the front) and was holding it like students hold their folders and books. I was going to walk to Maranatha nursing home to go and visit Cynthia (my former 'client') and take her the coloring book as a surprise. Anyway, so I am basically letting myself go down the crapper. We eat hot dogs and macarroni, cheetos, pringles, candy bars, ice cream, and etc. and I sit on my butt all day. Everyday I plan on going to the gym to workout and then come home and get dressed up so that I can go and find a new job. But everyday, I wake up and realize I have only one pair of jeans that fit and they are ripped. So I just never want to get dressed. Sorry that I haven't had an entry in months and then this is what I write. Oh well... it can only get better (hopefully). At least I have Aaron to bring down with me (just joking), but I really am glad that I have him to be with. I just don't know what I would do without him. He has been so great through all of this.

Hmmm... so today was a bit of a crazy day at work. My client was having a terrible time walking and almost fell like ten times in the parking lot of the dollar store, then we get into the store and she has an "accident" in the middle of the store, and then she gets really mad at me because we cannot stay. Then we get back and I am helping her out of the car and up her stairs and she starts to fall. I don't want her to fall, so I place myself in front of her and she falls into me. I have to lift her up and end up tearing a muscle in my back. So now I am on workman's comp for a week. I am kind of excited, but feel really bad because now someone else has to work for me and will have to work on Thanksgiving. Aaron and I are just going to the Golden Corral ( sounds fun, huh??? ) for turkey day anyway, so I really didn't mind working. Now some mom with kids is going to have to give up her Thanksgiving to work my shift. I really do feel awful

YES!!!! CHA-CHING$$$$$ We just got a LATE (by five months) wedding gift, and it was definately MORE than we would have ever thought ANYONE would give as a gift!!!! I had to keep reading the check to make sure I was seeing clearly. I don't think I have ever had this much cash on me at one time, I just keep thinking "I know I am going to loose my purse or get robbed, that would just be my luck"... but so far so good!! I feel kind of  bad though because I have been complaining of certain financial and job situations and even had the nerve to say "well we tithe so I don't see why we are struggling so much". Duh, God knew all along that this was coming to us, He was probably just waiting for me to shut-up about being poor for us to recieve it. Me and my big mouth... PRAISE JESUS!!!! I am sooooo excited!!! We can actually get some gifts for people this year!!!

Well, we skipped church today due to my awful cramps!!! I wish every man could experience them just once so that they would KNOW the pain we go through!!! I have a wonderful husband who pampers me when I don't feel good (I love him with ALL OF MY HEART!!!), but still, I don't think he truly knows what I am going through. I also think that he thinks I am just exaggerating the pain... BUT I'M NOT!!! They SUCK!!! I know I exaggerate every other single part of my life, but when it comes to cramps... I don't exaggerate enough!!! Duh, anyway... we just saw "March of the Penguins" and it was AMAZING!!! The movie is proof positive that there is a God! I couldn't believe how much they go through in the name of family!!!
