Feel like a train hit me....

Lately, I feel like I got hit my a train. I've felt sick the last week or so.

I loved this one song by Alabama, yea I know they sing country songs but there are some good country songs. Its called "Angels Among Us"


I was walking home from school on a cold winter's day
Took a shortcut through the woods and I lost my way
It was getting late and I was scared and alone
Then a kind old man took my hand and led me home
Mama couldn't see him, but he was standing there
But I knew in my heart, he was the answer to my prayers

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love


When life dealt troubled times and had me down on my knees
There's always been someone there to come along and comfort me
A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand
A phone call from a friend just to say I understand
Ain't it kind of funny at the dark end of the road
Someone lights the way with just a single ray of hope


Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love

They wear so many faces
Show up in the strangest places
Grace us with their mercy
In our time of need

Oh I believe there are angels among us
Sent down to us from somewhere up above
They come to you and me in our darkest hours
To show us how to live
To teach us how to give
To guide us with a light of love


I haven't heard this song in a long time!! I absolutely love it. It reminds me of her looking down on me everyday, every move I make(good and bad), and every word I say to others.

I just came off of an okay week of work. Friday the one salad prep called of AGAIN, its the second time this week. On Monday, she called off because she was sick, then she had off tues and wed and then worked thurs and called off on Fri and had off sat, and sun. I told her on thurs to cut 2 cases of Lemon Mer. Pie for Friday and i come in and there's only 4 pies cut. So all afternoon i had to cut 8 more pies for the rest of the evening. I normally take a break at 2pm, but i had to clean up and didn't get on break till 215pm and my supervisor, Paul, was like its 215, don't come back till 245. So i sat outside and he comes out to the freezer and hands me an ice cream sandwich and i head into the kitchen and he's like "come here aunt ash," so i go into the office and just talk about life. He's literally the greatest guy to talk to at work. He knows when I'm angry, when I'm frustrated, when I'm in a good mood, when to leave me alone, and when to call me in the office to talk. You couldn't ask for a better supervisor!! He's given a few nicknames, here they are, in no particular order:

~Aunt Ash~
~Evil One~
~Sparks~
~Ash~
~Sparky~

If you need any explanation on any of these let me know, lol. I love the people i work with, i really do!!



Today i went to a store called Hilltop Acres Farm Market with my sister, its a Mennonite owned farm market. I went to the register and the lady's like, "I haven't seen you girls in a long time." That brought a smile to my face because we used to ride our bikes there in the summer, pretty much everyday. I just thought to myself, they really do remember us coming in everyday. I loved those lady's in there, their great people!! So I'm gonna try and get in there more often.
