Awesome and Awkward Thursday

I had to review last weeks blog as I had a deja vu with my first awkward item...not the same, but very similar

Awkard
Once again sitting in a computer lab with a total stranger, for 6 hours this time.  Different lab and different stranger, but every bit as awkward.  This one wasn't talking on the phone, we just didn't seem to have anything in common, she was single, older, never married pediatric nurse.  It was one of those situations where you keep throwing questions out there to start a conversation and you get yes or no answers, I finally gave up.  To make it worse she seemed to know everyone that came in, and she spoke freely to them, so it was just me she didn't want to talk to.  We did have 6 people come in so there were some breaks in the awkwardness.

The rest of the week falls in to the Awesome category!!!!

I tried to call in sick on FMLA for only a few hours to go to a doctors appointment with my dad, but there wasn't a lot of notice (there was a mix up in communication, my fault) but they told told me it would be much easier if I just took the whole day off, rather than trying to get someone to cover part of my shift.....OK, twist my arm.  Dad is tolerating the chemo well, which is very awesome.

Arianne agreed to cover part of my shift on Sunday so I can go to church with my dad and husband for fathers day!

Greg and Tyla got here with the boys, so that is mega awesome!!!!

We (meaning Greg and Tyla) are replacing our roof, it's hardwork, but it is awesome because we need it so badly.

The weather is almost summer like so we aren't getting rained on while we do the roof!

The rest of my kids are coming throughout the next week.  Also awesome!

Oh yeah, and I ran the sound to narrows 12k in 1hour 36 minutes, very sore afterwards because of the hills,  but that was also awesome!

Thankfully there is way more awesome stuff right now than awkward, let's hope it stays that way!
