and another one goes, another one goes

 Another one bites the dust.


 I swear I have been "training" someone for MONTHS now. First it was the new boss. Yes he's the boss, but he still had to be broken in, and trained by us to some extent... Then it was his friend, a server, then another server then a 2nd... After the second was trained the first quit. Then we got a new second and now she's gone. What amazes me more than anything else is that with the job market the way it is, 2 of the girls just left with no other plan in mind. What ASTOUNDS ME is that all 3 were no call no shows. I mean, if you no longer want the job, can't work, don't like it... At least have the decency to call and let someone know. That way your not expected to show up at least. That being said I must admit I was a no call no show before. ONCE. Oh and I was SIXTEEN!

 My cousin added me on facebook today. So I now know that my adopted dad is alive and well. Good to know I suppose. I wonder if he was thinking of me, the day I had those odd feelings about him? Its odd how just out of the blue I thought about him. His birthday is coming up. He'll be 61. Maybe I should send him a card. Wonder if he even remembers who I am.

 I pulled my potatoes from my garden today. A bit too soon I do think. I did not get as many as I did last year... Of course last year I covered them with dirt also, this year, I did not have any extra dirt!

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 ...
