We Really Shouldn't Be Doing This....

So I am a waitress. I have quite a few "regulars" having been there for over 6 years now. There is one customer, who has been a almost every day regular since day one. That is right. He has been there nearly every day for 6 years. He is there as often as I am. He always sits with me. He knows my kids by name, Tim, and I his.

I have waited on his father, his wife, his son, his sister in law. He and I chit chat quite a bit as he comes in daily normally when we are not quite so busy any more. I chat with him instead of cleaning up... Shhhh don't tell the boss ;o)

So recently his wife and him started having problems, well he did not really even know they were, she just moved out and filed for divorce. Turns out, she has a boyfriend. Well their son does not like the boyfriend, or the IDEA of his mom having one... So to try to make "dad" look like the bad guy too, she brought up "him and I" As if we were doing something wrong!!!

That same day he told me this, Tim was coming in with the kids to eat dinner. I told "mitch" Oh you better leave... Were going to get caught! HAH! Good stuff. I told him we really should not do this... Him come in and be a customer, me wait on him... It is causing problems for our relationships! :OP How silly can a woman be? Seriously. I have waited on her, she liked me, even made him tip me bigger when she would come and eat!!! She is just being silly and pulling at straws to try to make him out to be the bad guy when he's obviously not. Funny stuff.

On a not so funny note, though. I found out one of my other customers, who comes in with the "Lions Club" is sick. he is in the hospital. I knew that he was, but he is old and I did not figure it was anything major. Today they told me they do not think he will make it, and if he does, his life will not be like it was, he will be homebound. NO more "lioning" for him. It is very sad. It got me to thinking about how many elderly customers I have, and how often times I have no idea what happens to them when they stop coming in. Its hard!

So that's life in Clorieville for the last little while. Nothing major going on. Just being told I am having an affiar and all that. Good thing Tim knows about it and does not mind. HA. Life sure can be funny sometimes.

Its not always 50/50

 Sometimes one person has to hold up more weight than the other does. Lately I feel as though I am that person holding the extra weight. Lately I have been wishing I was not that person. I feel like I am being spread a bit too thin... I also feel like no matter how many times I try to explain myself, it does not matter.  So I will just keep waiting, and hopefully eventually someone will come and take a few books off of my stack. Take a load off. Help me out. Chip in. You get it? I am sure you do. Now if only other people did as well.  God doesnt give you more than you can handle. I wonder sometimes if He thinks the load he's giving me is being more evenly distributed than it is... Maybe he can review my case :)

8 years at the same job!

 I will say this about my work. No matter what is said, word gets around. Words also get twisted and changed, and rumors fly like well I don't know kites? I think co-workers are like a second family, not like to the point where you want to invite them over for Thanksgiving dinner... More like your around them enough that you are more than likely to have seen a bad side of them, and learned some annoyances. Chances are they were grumpy or depressed or pissed at some point and you have seen them at their worst. I think that makes it easier to get under each others skin and become annoyed. You get annoyed, you get over it, you move on. Your still co workers and you still get through. Like family, there are spats, you get over it move on and after it all your still family.  So do I always love my co workers or getting up early, or when someone is rude to me, or when I don't make any money... OF COURSE NOT. I have good days and I have bad days. Today it was raining, I would have ...

The Lady In Red

  T he Frisco festival was this weekend. Fun times. Free rides, well this year half the rides were free. A band playing live and just fun all around. We always go of course, any time anything is free, were there!  Since we are not cool Destiny went with some friends and not us. Bailey was staying the night with a buddy so the 2 girls that were home, I told could bring a friend... Fun times.  At one point they were waiting in line for a slide/funhouse ride, after a certain point of waiting in line they were finally up to the part with the sign: At the bottom the sign says "If you are in the red sorry you cannot ride the ride"  Hannah is standing there, and she is looking quite concerned after a while... She looks at me and she says "mama, Lauren cannot ride this ride." then she points to the sign.  Oh yes, Lauren is VERY MUCH so over the green line... Heck Lauren is taller than Hannah so I am thinking what is your deal girl??!  Hannah then looks ...
