Peaks and Valleys

Well, my coworker and I were having a conversation about how our lives are always a series of peaks and valleys, and specifically relationships are definately that way, I would like to happily state that Jarad and I are out of our valley and on the way up a beautiful and fantastic peak. He was so good to me this weekend, and most of last week as well, but it felt like he made sure that he and I had our time even just a few minutes here and there to be us, and this is especially impressive considering he worked all weekend and was pretty exhausted. So, I feel I may have overexagerated our valley the other week/weekend, we did go thru a valley that is for sure, but it maybe was more of a medium size valley and less of the grand canyon.. lol.. Anyway, we are both improving on our faults and life seems really good today :) - Before I forget - HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!! (Ok, a day late but still) I had a fantastic breakfast with my grandma, mom, and family.. I got to chase after my neice and nephew for a few hours and that always lifts my spirits.. at 1 and 3 years old they are defiantely a handful!! I love that my brother says my Neice takes after me, she is a total tom boy, loves playing in the dirt and getting dirty, not so much about dresses and dolls.. haha - my family also says she is like me because she's very intense, always observing everything, loovvvess books and pictures, and also (like yours truely) she's an eater.. haha not picky about her food, will eat about anything at anytime.. lol.. I can't wait to watch her grow up! Here's a random picture of Miss Kinley Ann so you can imagine how she has me wrapped around her dirty little fingers!

This picture was from around Valentines Day, so you can imagine how much she has grown and is even more on the move in the last couple of months, she is already walking!

Anyway, enough proud Aunt talk..lol.. I'm trying to focus on things that make me happy because currently work is NOT one of those things, I can't figure out exactly what is going on with my boss but he is stressed and isn't being a good boss, he is snippy and has an attitude with me, and it's annoying because he was the boss that I could always talk with and now it is NOT that way, I'm hoping that whatever is going on with him passes and things go back to normal, he has been acting this way for a while now so I don't know... I'm frustrated and I don't do well with attitude especially from men who area already a little too full of themselves for their own good... but I didn't mind that when he appreciated me, now that he doesn't show me that appreciation, I'm starting to agree with most peoples interpretation that he is just a cocky jerk. Oh well, I keep using the common line in this generation "at least I have a job..."

I'm excited because I decided to take May 22nd off of work, which means I'll have a four day weekend with Memorial day on Monday the 25th! Four entire days off of work are going to be fantastic!!!!!! It can't come fast enough..lol.. I worry about my BF tho because it doesn't sound like he'll have any days off anytime soon, he's pretty sure he won't work on Monday of Memorial Day, but that still means two more weekends in a row, which basically means he'll have worked 21 days without a day off... ugh... I can't imagine! I have so much respect for his dedication to what he does, and I hope that my support is helpful and I hope he recognizes my support! I'm pretty sure he does, there hasn't been a stressful situation that has come upon us yet that I haven't charged into and worked my hardest to help him thru, so yeah, I think he knows I'm here to help... lol..

So tomorrow, my boss is having a seminar that will last until about 6:30pm, which means I'll be working almost a 10 hour day, that kind of sucks, but at the same time.. it means I get to shorten the rest of the days in my week AND I get to have free dinner and a pretty good restaurant. So, I'm not complaining, except knowing my luck, Tuesday will be the warmest nicest day weatherwise, and I'll be stuck inside..lol.. again, oh well at least I get to leave at 3pm for most every other day this week :) Which means less than 2 and a half hours till my day is over!

I think I'm going to wrap this up and do some online window shopping for a bit.. haha - I just wanted to shout from the top of my peak that we made it thru the valley and life is fantastic!
