Why is it?

blue


Why is it that when you have a slightly bad day, everything just seems to get worse, and then you do one small thing that makes everything 1000 times worse?
For instance, my supervisor at work left to go out of town today for a convention. The guy that kind of works with her in the office told me last week that he would be here all week. Yesterday the guy tells me and my supervisor that he is actually leaving Thursday night, so he won't be in Thursday or Friday. Which means, I have to try and do my job, plus both of their jobs, from a different office. I hate being in the other office because nobody really talks to me, and I just sit in my supervisors office, and try to get everything done. So I am upset now that he is not staying like he said he would. I know my supervisor is a little upset with him too.

Then to make matters worse, we came home from work today, and had a message from Comcast, saying that our appointment was sent for Friday between 1:00pm & 5:00pm. We did sent an appointment for Friday, but it was suppose to be between 8:00am & 12:00pm. Kraig called them to try and straighten it out, but instead ended up with an appointment on Monday, which won't work because of the hoilday week. So I called them back, and tried to get them to do what they promised Kraig they would do, which was Friday between 8:00 & 12:00. The lady I talked to said that Friday was full, and the earliest time they had was on Sunday, I told her that we weren't going to be here, and that they had promised it would be Friday morning, she said that she couldn't do anything for Friday. So I got upset, told her to cancel the order then, and we would call them back when we were ready, then hung up. So now we may not have a phone all because I got upset. I am just tried of people making promises and not keeping them. Oh and did I mention, that the time we had on Friday was only taken, because I had Kraig call them in the first place???
So now I am upset, and right now we can't do anything to fix it, just because someone made a promise, and some how things got messed up.

For those that want to know

Well Kraig and I went to our ten year high school reunion tonight. First of all I can not believe that it has been ten years, yet high school seems as though it was forever ago. There were several people there. I knew most of the faces, but had forgotten many names. I will post a few pictures later. The dinner was nice, and it was fun to talk to a few old friends.
We were asked to write an email to the senior class president saying what we have been up too since we graduated. Since Kraig and I were in the same class I just wrote a paragraph for the both of us. This is the paragraph I sent in: We were married in 2000, in Las Vegas, pulling our witness off the street. We lived in St. George for about 5years, and then moved back to Salt Lake. We have spent most of our time working, when we are not working then we are either play World of Warcraft, or fixing our house. We are Kraig and Kim Oaks
I really didn't know what to put, because we haven't done much, just normal everyday life.
Kraig wasn't really excited to go, because he knew that most of the people that he would to have liked to have seen from high school would not be there. I was kind of excited, now I feel a little let down because I guess I didn't really see anyone that I just wanted to jump up and hug....
I am glad that we went, even though Kraig is probably wishing he had just stayed home, or better yet gone to St. George to Tom's wedding.
However I did get a really cute dress that I love, and I had lots of fun shopping for it this morning with Jillyn and Laurie. I will see if there are any good pictures of me in it and post them later.

I need help!!

Alright, I have a slight issue, Kraig and I have our 10 year high school reunion on Saturday. Here's my issue, I need either a new shirt and shirt more appropriate for summer, or a new dress...I hate shopping for me, and I don't really know what looks good on me. I usually try and drag Kraig shopping with me, but he doesn't really know what to tell me. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I am hoping to go shopping Friday night for the dress or whatever. I want something light, and kind of playful (if possible), but isn't too much. Someone please help!!

The things you miss when you can't have them

Well I still can't eat normal food yet, in fact it is kind of hard just to eat bread, and or yogurt. Right now I am craving Jimmy John's.....
for those of you that don't know what Jimmy John's is you are missing out!!!!
Jimmy John's is a cross between Subway & Gandolfo's (I guess that is the best way to desribe them??). Really they are a sandwich shop, but a little different then every one else. There are two in St. George, yet there is only one in Salt Lake, that seems backwards to me, and the one here only opened a little less then a year ago, and the ones in St. George have been there for about six or seven years....hmm odd.

Anyway my favorite sandwich there is
#11 COUNTRY CLUB®
Fresh sliced turkey breast, applewood smoked ham, provolone, and tons of lettuce, tomato, and mayo! (A very traditional, yet always exceptional classic!)


Doesn't it just look yummy!!!

And here is my little brother eatting one with out me :P

Family


Uncles Aaron, John, Kenny, Steve, and I am the baby in kind of the middle.

I have always had this delusion that as I grew up, that I would always be really close to my family, cousins, uncles, and aunts. I am finding out that because of life that just isn't reality. In all honesty I am fairly close to my family. Kraig doesn't really see his extended family often, I at least get to see mine more often. Now as an adult I am now hoping when we are able to have kids, that they can be close to their cousins.

The life of a girl....

I finally got my last two wisdom teeth out, it didn't go bad, so I guess you could say it went well. It only took about a total of 30 minutes from the time I sat in the dentist chair, until I got out. I opted not to have the gas, or be put to sleep for it, so basically all he did was make sure I was numb, and then used what looked very similar to a pair of pliers, and then wiggled both the teeth out.
I think that the medication that they gave me actually made me feel worse then the pain. I don't take things very often but when I do the strongest thing is usually Excedrin Migraine. The doctor gave me a prescription for Lortab, which I didn't want but he gave it to me anyway (I filled it just incase), and 800MG of Ibuprofen. I did end up taking two of the Lortab, and two of the ibprofens, but I am finding the extra strengh tylenol works just as well for me.
My biggest problem now is that Friday night with in a few hours of having my teeth pulled I started getting cramps, so I think that my cramps are making me feel alot worse then I would feel otherwise. I still can't really eat anything, and so between my teeth and cramps it is going to be a long night. I am going to go to dinner at my in-laws, but I am not sure how well this is going to go.

Catching up

Oh the tangled webs we weave. I know it has been a while, things have been a little crazy.

Justin, the guy that has been working with me that started the last week of March is moving back to Florida on Thursday, which in all honesty doesn't bother me too much. He did what he wanted and never listened to me when I tried to explain what how to do things. Which has only been aggravating other issues....it is a good thing I know how to keep my mouth shut some times! I ended up getting mad at him today because he came in at 8:30 (when we open) gets his cell phone that he left there all night, and then says he has some errands to run he will be back. He didn't get back until about 11:00, then he had to leave again at 1:00 for lunch which took him two hours. So after running and talking to my supervisor for a few minutes, I came back and made sure he was going to be there tomorrow all day. He said he would, but I guess I will just have to wait and find out.

I am having two of my wisdom teeth removed on Friday, Stacy K, the girl that use to work with me until the end of March is being extremely wonderful and is going to work that afternoon for me. I am at least glad that I had someone to ask to help, otherwise I would have had to put it off again until who knows when.

Since things have been so crazy I have been stressed, since I have been stressed, I am totally and completely exhausted, and since I am exhausted and can't seem to catch up on sleep, I am getting depressed. I hate it. I hate feeling like I can't get anything done, and that everything is falling apart. Which leads me to the next thing.


I have also been trying to spring clean, and for those of you that know the Oaks, they have the tendency to try and keep everything, so this is a very difficult task, especially since we have almost 8 years of stuff that we have collected. The big problem is I am not able to get most of it done due to lack of time. I am gone from my house during the week for about 11 to 12 hours a day, weekends I have to try and fit a weeks worth of laundry, and cleaning into a few hours, so that I can go grocery shopping and the likes. I feel like this project is going to take years.

Right now I am really wishing that we could just sell our house, and buy a new one. I really feel that in someways we were tricked with the house. It is not in as good a condition as the old owners portrayed it to be. It needs so much work, and again, we are never home, not to mention that we don't have the money to do everything that needs to be done, let alone what we want to do. We don't want anything really fancy, just more room, and less problems. I am hoping that things will start working out, and we are either able to buy a new house, or at least fix the one we have to our liking.

Here are a few pictures of my dream home, nothing fantasic, but I kind like the styles.
