Musical Children

Today Bailey got a coffee can, and he put dried beans in it, and he taped it closed. This was his instrument. Hannah followed suit with a smaller, but just as effective cookie container, minus cookies of course. So they are in the living room banging and shaking the cans. "Thank you Ladies and Gentelmans" Hannah said at one point. "Hannah, follow the rythym I make" Said Bailey. So cute. Sometimes they are just so cute. Loud. Cute though, none the less.

I colored with Hannah this afternoon. I had promised her that I would. Coloring, now that is fun. It really is. I could color all day, but whenever I go to start, I can never think of anything TO color. Funny how that works.

I made 2 of my 4 dishes for my "food networkers" tonight. I will not post about it here, you will have to check out my other blog to find out how they went. I can say the ingredients were hard to find, again. What is UP with the crazy stuff these girls pick to make???

So then later on in the day we played "jenga" that is a fun darn game. Our Jenga tower was SO high. I think we might have broken a world record. Every time a kid would pull a block I thought for sure it was going to be the end... Promise kept making Bailey giggle, and he was trying to be mad, but he was giggling, its hard to be mad when your giggling... which made me giggle, which made me cry, which almost made the tower fall, several times. I am still amazed it got as tall as it did.

Tim is now working as "manager in training" this week. I told him he should have to cook dinner, since I know managers dont actually work :OP He did not appreciate that much. Said he works... Yeah. Right. LOL.

My work, they are saying they are thinking about cutting our hours. Shit. We work 3 hours a day as it is. 5 days a week. Apparently they are going to cut us each a day if our business does not pick up. Funny, it seems like they are doing nothing to TRY to get business up. No advertising or anything. Also seems funny that they can pay a cook to be there cooking but not one of us to be there serving. We get paid under minimum wage. Whatever. I am not the manager. I cannot do it on 3 or 4 days though I don't think. I think if that happens I will start to look for something else, something different maybe? I don't know. I really love waiting tables. I really love my customers.I would miss them!!!

Oh well as the pizza turns I suppose. Hopefully with the cooler weather more people will want pizza again :OP If not, something else is out there for me I am sure.

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 ...

Done Growing

Well soon enough it will be the start of a new school year. Sooner for my younger two, than for my older two. So today we went to get a few things that will be needed. Some shoes, socks and backpacks. Mommy needed a new pair of shoes too, I wear mine out pretty quickly being on my feet as a waitress. So my son is about the pickiest shoe person out there. Nothing fits. We have to try on like every.single.shoe. in his size before he can choose. Its irritating and stressful. Hannah was pretty easy although she did not take the cheaper "on sale" pair I liked best. Either way she was quick and painless. So then mom's turn. I put on a pair of 6.5 I wear those or 7's depending on the shoe. I wanted to try those new shoes with the curved bottom. Anyway... I get the 6.5 on and Hannah feels for my toes. "Oh you better get a size bigger" She says. "Those wont last the whole school year!" I told her I did not have to worry about outgrowing my shoes. My ...
