Scream

This pretty much describes how I've been feeling lately.
Just want to stand there and scream.Only problem is it would not do any good.
Can anyone tell me why sometimes life just has to be so darn crappy and stressful?
There are days I just wish life would have no stress or problems.But we all know that will never happen now will it.

Had to share this.

I decided that I had some good material to work with and needed to post a blog again.
One of the greatest parts of my job other then caring for the elderly is hearing what they have to say. This week was no exception. I hope you laugh as much as I did.

Today I was helping a resident who usually sleeps all the time and seldom talks much.She is very,very hard of hearing so when she does decide to talk it is usually very loud. One of my coworkers and I were washing her up today and as we were washing her mid section she loudly said to me,"you're getting pretty fresh,I am going to tell your wife.' Before this she saw me wiping sweat from my brow and she asked..'do you drink beer?" "They say drinking beer makes you sweat"
Later she was asking for the helicopter because she needed to go to Sunday School and her husband was not picking her up yet.He has been gone for years so I would guess a helicopter would not have been the answer.

Overhearing a phone call that went like this..(only hearing what was said by the resident), I would love to go to Sioux City with you tomorrow but I have a problem with urination.You see, I feel I have to go about every 30-45 minutes but then when I try nothing comes out.So I am afraid that would be to long a ride in the car.(around 1 hour). He is going the man promised to stop on the way.
Yes this is why I love my job.
Ohh yeah one more.
A gal I was working with asked the man we were helping what her name was, he answered Michelle.Ding ding correct answer.So I asked him what my name was,he answered Dawn.I said Dawn is a woman's name do I look like a women.He answered sometimes.After picking up my coworker off the floor from laughing so hard,I just said my name is Brian , and left the room.Do you think it was my man boobs??
Hope your work is as fun as mine can be.
Mr.Brian

Shutting down

It has become obvious to me my blog is not being read much any more because of the lack of comments.I know people are very busy with there family life and other things.
Because of the lack of interest I have decided to retire this blog for some time.
I may be back I may not I am not sure.
I'll still stop by and check you out but for now I see no need to continue with my blog.
It has been great fun getting to know all of you and I will keep in touch.Thanks for all the encouraging words in the past.
Over and Out..
Mr.Brian

Speaking

I am giving a testimony in church tomorrow.
I will be sharing on how friendship and a person never giving up on me got me through my darkest days during my depression years ago.
I kept feeling this poke from God telling me to talk to my pastor and to give this testimony.So one Sunday when he was preaching he asked what was the greatest gift you ever received it was like God had given me this extra big nudge to talk to the pastor.
I did and now tomorrow I am speaking at the two services.As the time gets closer the idea does not seem as good.LOLOL!!! I think it is called nerves.
My point will be,no matter how frustrated we get with someone we must remember that there is a good person trying to get out.We may have a child,spouse,parent or friend who is making poor choices,but if we keep supporting and praying for them and they work at their problem some day we will again see the positive effects of it.
I just hope and pray my mouth and mind will work together and I do not shake to bad from nerves.Sometime I just hate those pokes from God,but he does have a reason for this.

God Bless all of you,
Mr.Brian

******** It went very well.God kept me calm and I was able to say what I wanted to.And I know it was ment to be because after the service I has a few people tell me how they or others also battled depression too.If my talks made a differance for one or two others it is all worth it.
See God did have a plan.**************

Need advice

It is my hope some of you may have some great suggestions for me on this subject.
Seems I deal with it more and more at work and do not know how to reply always.Sorry to say at times I join in,but have been working very hard at not joining in.
I am talking about people with negative attitudes.Ones who back stab, and always have a complaint. When i suggest that they take it to the boss I always hear a "No she will not do anything anyway".I respond by saying..."Well how can they if you do not tell them"?
Uggg it almost drains me some days.
Sooooo how do you handle these kind of co-workers??? Any suggestions would be helpful.
And no I cannot just tell em to shut up.That is not the way a lead mentor does things.
Thanks,
Mr.Brian

A thought for the day

Need I say more?

Baby it's cold out there.

It is 6:00 p.m. and already -7 degrees with a wind chill of -25 degrees. Calling for a -20 to -25 degrees tonight.That is temp not wind chill.
A good night to stay by the heater. A day like this would be a great time for a fire place.
So how is the weather where you are??????If you want tell us the state and weather, maybe I'll head your way for a few days.
I love the snow just not the below zero temps.
Oh well I may as well accept it because I can not change it and I have no plans of moving.It is to warm up by the weekend so there is hope in sight.
