Today felt long.
I got to work and nothing was stocked, or done to prepare for the new shift coming in at 2. I would be okay with it if thay had been busy, I can understand that. But when I walked in, they were all just standing around, talking. It took me about an hour and a half to get caught up to where we should have been when I got there. Through that, though, I felt God trying to show me that I'm not entitled to have an easy time, haha. I get easily frustrated when other people seem to be unthoughtful, especially when it means I'll have to pick up the slack for them, haha. I just felt God saying, "Kelli, this is how I want you to love them and love me today. Get over it." IT TOOK ME A LITTLE BIT, but I finally was able to turn my attitude around. There was also a large group of loud teenagers (a local youth group that comes in every Wednesday night after church) who always, always, always try my patience. I could go on forever about what a bad witness they're setting for Christianity, but really, I just don't like how rude and messy they are. Tonight, though, I was able to make a game out of being the friendliest I could. That was a step in the right direction for me.
Hey, so I just finished organizing the guest list! Well, we had a guest list on the computer, but since I'm tactile, I wanted to get it down on paper and into some sort of organizer. I've got a few more addresses to find, but it feels good to have the majority of them written down and tucked away, nice and organized. It just feels good.
My little brother graduates tomorrow. Er... Today. OH AWESOME. the electricity just died. Good thing I'm on the laptop.
Er, my youngest brother graduates high school tonight. I can't believe it.. He's only a couple years younger than me, but he's the youngest, haha, so it's super weird that we're all out of high school now. I'm proud of Joshua--of the three of us, he's had the most trouble with school. He's got a "learning disability" (I hate that phrasing, because he learns really well--just differently than what the schooling system is set up for). But he's persevered through it, dude. And he's a smart kid. He's got a pretty good GPA and everything! His plan is to go to King College in Bristol, TN and he's got a few scholarships... I'm really proud of him.
Speaking of being proud, I can't believe my dad sometimes. He's a trooper! Since losing his job, he's the hardest working unemployed man I've ever heard of. It's 1:00 AM and he just left the house to be trained on a paper route. He's only covering for a friend while they're out of town, so it's not a permanent job, but still dude. He wakes up at like 3 some mornings to go work part time at the theater (I think that you're allowed to work 7 hours a week and still claim unemployment checks, so he works only that). I really admire Dad for how hard he's always working.
I feel like I'm just rambling on. Maybe tomorrow I'll tell you guys about my other brother, Alex, and my mom. Yeah. In the meantime, I'm really tired. Please excuse any spelling or grammar errors, haha.
See you cats tomorrow.
OH'P. There's no electricity. Which apparently means I don't have any internet access. Guess I'll post this tomorrow.
