Weekend plans

We're getting ready for Daniel's birthday party tomorrow. He is already 6, but we'll be celebrating tomorrow. ;)
I've been a little down lately, trying to not be. Thankfully I have Christ. He is my Strength. Without Him, I think I would be in the depths of despair. I talked to a friend the other day and she commented on how normal I sounded. She said most people would be wrecks. I wasn't quick enough to remind her that it is God Who gives me strength. He is my reason for living. And like the song says, "He gives & takes away. Blessed be the name of the Lord."
So Daniel's been having a pretty good week. He was sick on his birthday and the day after, but he's better now. Today he got to go shopping with Aunt Tina & Aunt Kamali. They got him Levi's (I think it has an apostrophe), and some pants that turn into shorts (the bottoms zip off), two shirts & new light-up shoes!!! He's very excited. He also went to lunch (could've picked anywhere and he picked Burger King) and ice cream (Baskin & Robbins). Now he's napping.
Tomorrow we will have cake and ice cream and chips and lots of fun! :) Hopefully it will be as warm as it is today so they can play in the sprinkler. :)
Hope you all have a great weekend!

People, man!

Well, I was going to post a nice, informative post about our weekend. We had a really good weekend. Sometimes, though, it doesn't take much to make one forget. :p

Jef just called a bit ago. He'd gone to work a little early to get his check. He wasn't able to get it on Friday because he'd taken the day off. We had planned to go pick it up, but I am really glad now that we didn't. Jef got his check and it was $200 less than he was supposed to get!!! He was really mad. He went in and talked to the receptionist and she showed him his time card. Where Jef had written "paid time off" (on the days he took off to stay home with me because we'd just found out about the miscarriage), his supervisor, Keith, crossed out Jef's writing and written "unpaid". Keith had a week to let Jef know that he wasn't going to let him take those days as paid. He never said anything. Keith also knows that Jef just got a $3/hr. pay cut, his wife just had a miscarriage & he has three kids at home. Did this matter? No.
I'm looking for another job for Jef. He can get a job down here that pays the same, I am sure. He does not need to be treated like that. Jef was one of the ones who stayed. But I guess that doesn't count for anything. People stink.

We're looking for another job for Jef. Maybe he can work evenings at CompUSA. We'll see.
