Who's Your Daddy???

So I am a waitress. For those who might be unaware. I have been a waitress, most of my working life now. I am good at it and most the time I love it, so its what I do. 

  Now when you are a waitress nine times out of ten you do not know the people you are waiting on names. So you say "Sir, would you like a refill on your drink?" "Ma'am, can I take your plate?" "How is everything going today ladies?" Ect ect. Generall names that could apply to pretty much anyone. Right?

 Lately my new thing has been calling parents that come in with a child "mom, and dad" "Ok dad and what do you want on your pizza today?" ect ect. Seemed to have worked out okay and I do not feel like such a broken record. Plus I often get the "DONT CALL ME MA'AM it makes me feel old" so its like what DO I call you???

 Yesterday a group of men came in, in hunting attire. Four of them, then a few moments later, a man and his daughter came and joined them. "Hey dad, what can I get for you and the little one to drink today" I asked. I got their drinks and later when bringing the pizza I said "Dad, you got supreme, right?" Yes he did and so I handed him his pizza.

 Even later yet, I asked them if they needed refills, (dad) seemed to need one but no one was really paying attention to the waitress... "Dad" I said to get his attention "Would you like anymore rootbeer?"

 His little girl, red haired, and full of fire you could just tell, well she'd been giving me the evil eye everytime I went back there, but it was not until this time that she gave me it even more, she looked at me  like I have not been looked at before by a little red haired girl. Just as striaght forward and as sick of me as she could be she said "Quit, calling him DAD."

 I think that, maybe she thought I thought he was MY dad.... Or just me calling him dad was absurd to her, and well, I guess now that I look at it, it kind of is. So no more mom and dad for the customers for me. Back to sir and Ma'am I suppose... Maybe a "dude, and sweetie" now and then :OP~~


 So that is my little daily does of "As the Pizza Turns" for today. I hope you enjoyed it. 

 I also did a little life saving today. Yep. That is right, I donated blood again. This time my iron was high enough to do it!!! Just by the hair of my chin though! 12.5 why is my iron down?? I have always had really good iron levels. Hmmph. Today I got a shirt as a thank you for my donation :) YAY! 


 So who's your mama! :OP

some days

 The kids are just cute. I know I normally talk about how bratty they are. but today, well today they were just cute. All of them, even Destiny. Believe it or not.  Hannah came down the little car line to get into the van and she was smiling and so happy, and so dang cute. Promise had a friend over part of the day Bailey played mario and Destiny told me my shirt looked like a hobo shirt (it was Tims)  Today was just a good day. not sure what made it that way. the kids mostly got a long, there were a few SHUTUPS tossed out but for the most part it was pretty peaceful. I wish more days, were like today.  I went to Lowe's today to get a shelf thing to put in our laundry room. Its so exciting! TO think a shelf would be nice here, and then think YEAH, I'll put one in. See we can do that, cus we OWN our house! :) Its awesome!  I got a few more seeds today. Sweet baby peppers, zucchini and squash too. Yum. I really hope something grows this year. I am SO sore f...

Love the one your with.

 My mom and I were talking and lately her relationship is what I guess we could call complicated. During our conversation she stopped and asked me "Are you happy with Tim?" without hesitation I answered "yes".She told me that she knew he loved me and she was so glad I could be happy.  Later I was thinking about it. I have wondered is he "it" is he the one. How can I be sure, how is anyone ever sure? We have been together for almost 9 years now. Granted we've had our issues, but every night he comes home to me, and every morning he's next to me in bed. He loves me, he provides for me, and I love him and provide for him. Together we are raising four wonderful children.  Do I still get butterflies when he walks though the door? Well, honestly, no. Do I still miss him the moment he walks away... Again no, sometimes I am more than happy to see him leave for the evening and go to work... Does that mean I love him any less than I did when our love was...

not everything i say requires a response.

 first off let me say, my shift key is not working so nothing is uppercase today. so sorry.   the new chick at work is driving me...crazy. short drive i know but even so. like seriously. crazy. she argues with everything, butts into any conversation started without her in it, and denies anything being done wrong. she's new, making a mistake is going to happen. if you do it, fess up, and get on. your not in trouble. shut up. quit denying it just say ok, and get on with life. it does not always require a response. just do it. or don't do it, whatever fits in the time. then i have customers like the lady today. she and her friends all got their pizzas. when i walked by i stopped to check on the table. i noticed that the lady was asking her friend to sniff her slice of pizza, of which she had taken one bite of. i asked if everything was okay 'it tasted funny when i took a bite' she says 'here taste it," she tries to get her friends to taste it, one sniffs and ...
