Retail Managers are People TOO!!

I would just like to offer up some advice to you all during this holiday season. The wonderful people who help you out in the retail stores are people and have feelings too. Without giving you too much information I have come up with some advice for everyone..
1. Do not yell at us we can't control the mail (most of all if we are pregnant)
2. Do not get in our face and scream at us that we don't know what we are talking about (most of all if we are pregnant and a manager WE KNOW WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT!)
3. Be nice and say thank you we work our butts off (most of all if we are pregnant)
4. Do not assume we have endless hours to help you be aware of others who need help it is the holiday season and acting like you are the Queen of the world is not nice to anyone (most of all if we are pregnant).
5. Do not throw clothes at us and tell us you want to buy it and "WRAP IT UP!"(most of all if we are pregnant)
6. Do not throw clothes on the floor and make the pregnant manager get on her hands and knees to pick it up while you watch.
In case you haven't put it together I am getting screamed at during work and called a liar etc. I would like to personally thank all of those who are kind and say thank you it really makes a difference in my day. So be kind to those in retail most of us are trying our best to make your holiday the best it can be!!

MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Preggo Brain

*If you are a male you may not want to continue reading this I talk about boobs*
Ok so since most of you enjoyed my last moment I thought I would continue to keep record of this time in my life. So today started off like every work day, showered got dressed grabbed some breakfast out the door on to work. I pulled into the parking garage at work and was grabbing my jacket and handbag when I noticed something my boobs were killing me (Why I noticed just then, I don't know) well as I touched them to see why they hurt I realized my pain...I forgot to put on a BRA!!! I was wearing a silk shirt how I didn't noticed before I will never know. Lucky for me I work where they sell bra's and was able to pick one up before the store opened but many of my co workers got a good laugh thought you guys might as well. Now as long as I don't forget my pants I won't worry too much about this one! I am at 19 weeks only 21 more weeks of this to go.....right???

Thanksgiving Weekend

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend. Troy, Loralee and their three kids came down and spent the weekend with us. We made an amazing Thanksgiving feast, went to the beach (everyday, a perk of living in Santa Barbara), the park and the Zoo. And in between all of that I worked a lot. The kids had a lot of fun and Mazzy and Chino became best friends, they were so sweet Chino put up with a lot of eye poking, tail pulling and in return got a lot of open mouth kisses (his fav).

We were so glad that they could come down and we could spend time with family. I felt a little bad since Colby didn't understand why I had to keep going to work. I had to leave the Zoo early to get to work and he wanted to come with me when I told him he couldn't and I had to go to work he looked at me and said "AGAIN?!"

I think the highlight of the weekend for me was getting to feed one of the Giraffes at the Zoo. The kids loved it as well but I was really excited and it was awesome. Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving as well.
