Mental Health Day Monday

So I am home today taking care of "me"!  I decided that I needed a day to relax.  I am watching "Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe".  I got interested in this when I was doing a read-aloud with the book in August.  I was reading it to a 4th grade class during a 2.5 week assignment.  I ended up buying the book because the library was too slow in getting it to me.  It was an awesome, detailed read!  Now, I am watching the movie.  I have paused it so I can stroll to the kitchen to fix something to eat.

The Walmart Story:  So Walmart told me I was not working long enough to ask for a Leave of Absence.  I have to be with Walmart a year to take a 30 day Leave of Absence.  However, they did talk to the manager, and I can take a two week vacation.  Walmart has been very flexible in giving me two weeks in August and now in October.  They have also been very flexible in letting me reduce my hours to 12 hours/week due to teaching.  So all in all, I can’t complain at all.  October 16th I am leaving for GA.  Yay!  I am sticking with Walmart, because next summer I will need a job again.  Also, in June, 2013, I will have been with them a year.  I need to plan to take time off in August for my daughter’s wedding in NC.  Since I will be in NC; I have decided to go down to GA for some time, too.

Gotta run and get some chow and get back to my movie.  Have a great week!

I’m glad that Wal-mart is cooperating with you.

It’s sounds like WalMart is very pleased that you are employed with them as they are making accommodations for you so that you can travel. I bet they like having older workers because generally speaking, older workers are more dependable. You take good care.

It is hard to work a job around a busy schedule. I totally get why you’d want to keep it. As for the, ‘Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe’. I do that novel yearly with my students. I must have read the book over twenty times. I love it.
