{ Flashback Friday }

Finally found some time to get this done today D has been gone for three days so things have been busy and tiring and it SNOWED, Rained and was pretty dark most of the day so we had to find lots of entertainment today ANYWAY....
Question: Tell about all the places you have worked.

This might take awhile ha ha actually I really have worked a lot of places and learned a lot from all of them some good, some bad {and some that I never wish to re live again!! }

1. Motel as a chamber maid.


2. Subway
   
3. Driving Tractor baling for D's Dad
   
4. Atkins a Clothing store doing retail
   
5. IGA grocery store in the bakery


6. Dairy Queen {for too long}


7. Deck Wench {really thats the name} My dad had a fishing charter business off the Vancouver Coast so I was the cook, cleaner, PR, entertaining make sure everybody was happy person { except I wasn't happy. I didn't like it much. I missed the rest of my fam, my college roommates but I got an education in catching fish even a sting ray or two, and little shark and alot of cod! I made a lot of money but it wasn't the best job I've ever had! But actually scanning in these pictures I miss the water, the scenery, I learned how to cook out there, I can say I've driven a 40 foot yaht caught all sorts of fish and actually I do like to fish surprised?? Remember these pics are freshman 15 right after my first semester of Ricks way back in 95 so keep that in mind ha!}


8. Elementary Schools as a teachers assistant working with special needs ages preschool to grade three {I've worked with Autistic children, downs syndrome, cerebral palsy, learning disabled children, ADD kids, {Been in a closet for 4 days out of the week with a 4 year old autistic child who screamed alot and I had to control the tantrums and teach him everyday in the stairwell of the gym going up to the stage yeah not my favorite job either was happy when I was moved to another student thats for sure!! }


9. In Logan, UT I worked at IHC in there Child Development center where the workers drop off there kids for there shift from 6 weeks old to 5 years old. Loved it but it was only part time so I did 3 jobs for a awhile!
   
10. Fred Meyer in Logan hated it.
    
11. Logan High School in there special ed classroom it was a horrible, nightmarish job seriously I have nightmares to this day sometimes it was crazy! Like for example restraining a 300 lb handicapped 16 year old who is thrashing and biting and screaming or who stripped naked in the high school cafeteria. Try being that aid. Those are the moments I try to forget ever happened. I couldn't quit because I was the only one working full time to put D through USU, he went to school all day long and worked at a Dairy midnight to 4 in the morning plus all the homework in between. Those were the learning, growing supporting, no money, living on love days. Probably the hardest time because it was the first few years to wanting a baby so bad, being on Clomid and working jobs I hated, but it made us stronger.
    
12. Anderson Seed and Garden in Logan my favorite job there loved it!!


13. And then back home I worked at the Elementary School again until I got my dream come true and that was to finally stay at home and be a MOM. My all time favorite job hard, rewarding, not so rewarding sometimes 24 hour, 7 days a week, 12 months a year job!!! Wouldn't trade it for anything!!

Now that's a long list eh there's probably more I can't even think of!!

Here's me taking a break, listening to my music on the old walkman wow that sounds so old!! You can't get far enough away from everybody when your living on the ocean so this was my getaway music, sun and sittin in the zodiak at the front of the boat!

Next one is me driving the boat with the guests and my dad up top checking things out! Long ago days beautiful though eh!!

Happy Mothers day to all you awesome girls hope you have a great day and know how important you are {whether you are a mom, or are patiently waiting and wanting to be a mom, or celebrating your mom }
