This being in charge stuff? For the birds, I tell ya. Even though it is going well - I feel like I am always stretched tight - like a runner getting ready for the starting gun - like I always have to be on alert. And believe it or not, that can make a girl REALLY, really tired. Fast.
It has been going remarkably smooth so far - todays biggest excitement was a customer passing out in the frozen food section of the store neccesitating a call for an ambulance. Not the first time this has ever happened by a long shot, but I always feel so badly for the person laying there with the HUGE group of people craning their necks to see what is going on. It irritates the CRAP out of me actually - I want to yell - 'Quit staring you FREAKS! BACK OFF! Unless you are a qualified medical professional who can actually be of assistance, your presence here is only making this poor person feel a thousand times more awkward!!!'
But I don't.
Instead, I choose to glare at the idiots who don't have anything better to do than to stare, until they get a clue and leave.
Sigh.
Perhaps I get a bit too hostile about it, but c'mon people - really.
Other than that, I spent the whole day feeling like I was missing something important - or forgetting something important...nothing came up, so I guess I didn't/haven't - I am kind of cringing at the thought of going in tomorrow though, and finding that 'something' out.
Shrug.
And maybe I just actually have it more together than I think and should just relax about the whole thing.
I did get a call from the car shop people today - the message informed me that my car could possibly be done as soon as tomorrow - so we shall see what the new $$ damage is then....maybe it won't be as bad as I am anticipating...
And lastly - since I know you all are wondering...I checked the Children's Miracle Network funds campaign to see how much closer I am to having my head shaved....I can't remember the exact dollar amount, but we will be over the $1,000 mark by Friday.
As in, they have already raised ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
In case you didn't catch that?
That means only $14,000 to go before I lose my hair.
[shaking head]
I can hardly believe it myself...

You are amazing, Havah! Don't underestimate yourself, even better, God in you! I love you!!
--however, shaking head with you--
you will be hot bald. no worries.
seriously hot
and I would have given you $1 to scream at the staring people
Oh my word....you had quite a day. If I were you, I'd start checking out some wigs and have fun with that idea!
The best leaders have always been the ones that DON'T want the job, but are willing to do it b/c they recognize the need and are also willing to make the sacrifice...So, no worries...you're in good company.
ryc: Thank you so much for the encouraging words. I was shocked/touched by all the comments on my post. You guys are awesome!
Rubber neckers bite. I'm with you on that one.
Ugh, I can't stand it when people just STARE at someone who's already in a very uncomfortable and awkward situation. Gross.
And I'm with the ladies up there... You will be one hot baldie!
I'll up wendy's offer to $5.
Yep, you should have yelled at them. People amaze me. As for the other matter? $1000 already? Scarves are nice...yeah...and pretty hats. I'm telling you I can picture without hair and you are gorgeous!
Bald is the new black
Hotalicious!
I bet you are a great boss. Wish I could work for you for a day!
Havahalicious!
Just think of all the folks who will be staring at YOU this summer! Still not sure this is a good idea. Hope your car is out of the shop soon.
Never a dull moment is it. I'm sure you're an awesome boss. Sounds like you'll soon be sporting a Demi Moore head, hahahaha. Love ya!

[ugh in your honor...surely it wont happen- surely it won't]
Thinking of you today.
