I'm Working TOO Much

Okay, so I know that I should be happy that I have a job, that I'm healthy enough to work, that I can help support my family, blah blah blah. Too bad that doesn't make me feel any better when I am having to juggle serving, bartending, and managing. Did you know that I manage?

I am basically a substitute manager (aka Key Employee), but for a total of two months I have had to manage every Tuesday. Instead of giving any of my normal days up, I've been trying to juggle working five shifts, training, keeping up with the house, and of course blogging. I guess I was doing okay until we got the news about Lauren, and for obvious reasons...it threw me off my game.

Here is a shameless selfie in my "professional" polo:

I know, I know...Hooters and professional aren't supposed to go in the same sentence ;)

I still haven't decided how to solve this issue because I don't want to give anything up $$$$, but for now I am just taking things one day at a time and leaning on Will for support. For example, I got stuck at work late yesterday, but came home to washed dishes, a clean living room, and the clothes folded AND PUT AWAY. My hero...le sigh. 

Don't worry, he was properly rewarded.

Well, time to go fill my management responsibilities. Woohoo! bleh

PS. I felt fine yesterday, and now I am sore as all get out! My boobs are even sore.

Manitou Incline: One Mile Of Stairs

This weekend...we walked up almost 3,000 steps to the top of the Manitou Incline, which is one mile of stairs and a 2,000 foot altitude change. I'm too tired to get wordy with this post, so thank goodness for pictures. I think they speak for themselves, anyways.

Five of us made it up to the top, but really, you are a team with everyone on the trail. It's as if you are all together, going through the same grueling adventure, and supporting each other until the end. You even photo bomb each other's photos:

I've been rockin' it out on the stairmaster as of late, but the altitude is what KILLS ya. You already start out at 6,000 feet and then end up at over 8,000. It makes your body work a lot harder, you have less oxygen, and apparently poor circulation. I freaked out when my hands started tingling and I realized that my hands had swollen so bad that my rings were stuck. Here you can compare the during and after pics:

So why did we put ourselves through this?

A) To say we did.

B) For the PIZZA at the bottom!

Five miles later (one up and four down), this was heaven:

I also took an hour and a half nap after, and yet somehow I'm still tired...

I guess it was worth it. Maybe ;)

For The Smile Of Eli

As I sit here eating my late night snack of Vanilla Cupcake Goldfish and pretzels, I am so very thankful.
I am thankful that we live in a world were we can rally prayers, find support in strangers, and raise money for hope. Social media can be shallow, negative, or counterproductive, but only if we allow it. Instead, lets focus on being positive, bettering ourselves, and improving the lives of others.

Like little Eli...

He is the son of a friend of a friend, and he has leukemia.
He was just diagnosed in April, and his parents want to get him home to California where he has a support system. Little man is only $700 from his goal, so visit here to donate. Let's make sure this sweet babe gets home where he ought to be!

Prayers are also acceptable currency ;)

I am turning comments off for this post, so go forth and be merry.
I think we all need to enjoy this weekend.

Fun Via My iPhone

This is how I deal with Textemarketers:

This is how I school my baby brother:

Proof of how connected Will and I are:

Those Boneless Breast commercials got to him. Haha

And perhaps the absolute best:

Don't text us inappropriate stuff by accident or you are going to totally get called out!

Just some fun for your Thursday. You're welcome.
