Random Summer

Okay, so this Summer has been crazy... Here are some random things that I have come across.....

People are STUPID. I don't know how anyone could just quit a job without giving any notice. Why in the hell would you want to do that? First of all, do they not know employers ask for employment history & actually call? Do they not know that I could have a factor in getting another job? UGH, so frustrating. I don't care if they want to quit, really I don't... But at least give me the same courtesy as I have given you and at least give me a week notice, don't just call and say I'm Done!!!! PS... This happened to me 4 times in the last 2 months!!!!!

People are CRAZY. Why would you want to spend all your day waiting for a movie? I could see an hour, 2 tops, but all day in 100 degree weather? Wow...

People have amazing HEARTS. Although I have seen craziness, I have seen people that have the biggest hearts. People that gave up something just to make someone else happy! People that would do anything just to see someone else smile.

I am grateful that I have amazing family and friends that helped me get through this Summer. Without you all to vent to, I wouldn't have made it!!!!!!!

♥ you all !!!!!

Day 9- UGH

I had a meeting at 7:45 this morning... Had to work at 3..... Am coming down with a cold..= Very.Long.Day.... UGH Stupid cold

Day 4- OUCH

So, today I decided not to do a "Quote of the Day". I have instead decided that I would vent about my back... Yes, you heard me right. I want to complain about my back.

Ok, here is the story.....

As all of you know, I had to work on Christmas day (sucks, I know... but what do you do). While at work, doing I don't know what... I hurt my back. I guess this is some sort of Karma for working on a day where I should be with my family!!

Of course over the next couple of days of working, it has continually gotten worse.

Fast forward to last night... Gareth decided that he would try and help me, and was putting pressure on my back and giving me a massage (well, I don't think you call it a massage when someone is poking you and drilling all their weight on you), and I thought I was going to die....

The rest of the night, my right leg was numb, my back hurt and today- I woke up with not only a back that could hardly straighten, but a bruise on my butt from said earlier massage!!!!!!!

UGH.... Gotta keep smiling though, because their is always someone else worse off... (I hope :( )

Venting, Sorry

Another wondering post...... And maybe a little venting post!!!!

Here I am sitting (yes sitting Kari) alone at 1Am....Thinking about my family. This you think would make me smile, but at the moment, it is making me feel very sad. You see my dad's 50th birthday is coming up, so I wanted to do something memorable. Something that (if you know my dad) will make him cry.

So I call up my Aunts, my sisters and ask them to forward me any pictures that they have that included my dad or just random ones of the kids, grandkids etc. Well on this said task I find out that he is having a dinner at his house (not to his knowledge) to celebrate.... Well here is what makes me sad....

1. That I wasn't even invited. No one called me, texted me, or emailed me. Now, I realize that I do live 300+ miles away, but hey.... a "just so you know, or maybe you could make it" invite would have been very nice.

The only reason I found out about it was because I was planning something very special for him, and needed pictures.

2. Yes, I could probably make it to this said dinner, but then I would miss out on my own kids baseball game, and I didn't get to go to my sisters graduation last week, so if I did show up, it would mean that I cared more about the one then the other, which is totally not true.

I guess what I am trying to say is that I just don't know what to do. I miss my dad so very much and would LOVE to see him, but on the other hand..... I hate those people that just invite themselves to things.

I feel like if I didn't call, or anything that they wouldn't think a second thought about me. I know... Poor poor pitiful Holly, but really... I guess I just needed to get that off my chest.

But, just so you know... I do have a heart, and I love my family very much- and I think that is why this is bothering me so much.

Thanks for listening and just remember, call your family... Tell them that you love them- even if they are far way, invite them to the family gatherings even if you know the answer will be NO. Just knowing that you thought of them will make their day.

I don't think so!!!!!!

So, most of you know what's been doing on with my family, but for those I haven't spoken to in awhile- Here is the low down....

A couple of weeks ago, my sister-in-law Emmy and her daughter Haylee were at my house. This in itself is not unusual. We were hanging out with Gareth, and Cadyn and my mother. Well, on this particular day, Emmy had told her husband Mike that she had filed for divorce. Well, that is when it all started.

*Drama Music begins*

Gareth leaves the house to go get Starbucks, and not 5 minutes after he leaves, Mike shows up to my house. Oh hell no! I asked him to leave, but he was furious- he wasn't going to leave without Hayz. Well, I won't get into all the details, but lets just say it wasn't a fun experience. I did get Em and Hayz out of the house before getting pushed into a wall though. Needless to say, cops showed up, they arrested Mike. We got a protective order, and life has just been on the rocks since then. Even last week, when we thought he was going to leave everyone alone, he broke the protective order (luckily no body was home at the time), and went back to jail... DUMBASS!!!

Well, fast forward to this morning. I am sleeping in for once and my doorbell rings.... Immediately my heart drops... Who could be here at 9AM.... So I get out of bed and go to the door, pepperspray in hand, and open the door. Oh, no worries it is just DCFS doing a follow up on the case they have on Cadyn.... Yup, you heard me right... Because Cade was at my house durning the fight and got pushed by Mike, I get DCFS at my door.... What is wrong with this picture.

Well, the gentelman was very nice, and spoke with Cade regarding the incident, and then asked me some questions. By the time he was ready to leave, he told me not to worry, that we shouldn't be hearing from them again.


I just think that with all that has happened... Why is it that I get DCFS called on me??? What is wrong with this picture... Now, don't get me wrong, I am glad that they wanted to make sure that Cade was alright and didn't need any counseling, but really.... Mike should be the one going through all this.. He is the one that started it all, but for some stupid reason, we are all the ones paying for it....


Anyways, that is my vent for the day... thanks for reading, and thanks to all of you that have been there for us in this difficult/ crazy time!!!!

We love you all

Stupid People

Ok, I know that I am not the brightest star in the sky, but I can't believe people now a days. So, most of you know (or now know, lol) that I have been working as a manager at the Movie Theatre. Well, let me just tell you... People are Stupid....

Last night I was working. The last set of movies besides one have already started. If we don't sell to the last show, I am home by 9:30. Well, the show starts at 7:50 and at 7:51... You read right... 7:51 TWO people showed up for the movie. Who does that? I can't believe I have to sit around until 10:30 for 2 people.... What a waste of energy. Oh, and to top it off.... 2 stupid teenagers!!! Shouldn't they be in bed?

Sorry, had to vent!!!!
