I was in the FRONT!

 I am not sure how it happened. For 8 years I have worked for my current job. At first we all rotated sections, there were 3 servers during the day and it changed daily where you were...Back then (listen to me, like I'm old) the back section was smoking only. A few of the people we had back there, were snooty. The "card players" especially. They were just always giving all the servers a hard time and eventually, no one would wait on them but me. So then it turned out I was always in the back, becuase well, those were all "My people".

 Lately business has been down, and there is no longer a smoking section in restaurants in Arkansas. Generally people fill up in the front first, so when your not busy, and your in the back, you don't get seated much. I had asked for sections to rotate. What I felt was fair, also because my section, the back is bigger... and gets the large groups. Rotating seemed fair, but everyone walked on eggshells with the other girl so we couldn't change the routine she was used to.

 Well me and the new girl and the boss talked about rotating and all agreed rotation was the only fair way to do things. Yesterday was the new girls first day, so I put her in the smaller, front section. Today she called to me that I had a table and I went to the back to find it. "What are you doing silly, your in front today?!" I almost cried!? FRONT? MEEEEE? IN FRONT???? That's right. I waited tables in the front section. It was crazy. I almost forgot the table numbers!

 All is pretty good with the new girl, and the new new girl seems to be catching on quickly too. Both of them are helpful with each other, with me, working together. Its awesome, if I am busy and cannot get my food out, someone runs it. Drinks are filled for whoever, does not matter if its MY tables drink or not. Its empty, fill it up! :)

 Home has been alright. Tim is now working at both Churches and Monte ne inn. Were hoping to save back the churches check for a flat screen and a zoo trip this summer. How exciting. Saving money? Really? We'll see if that works out. It sure would be nice, to have a bit extra to save. At the same time, it means the kids are left to their own devices again this summer vacation, which is not always super great. My house, my poor house will be thrashed I am sure. Either way you win some you lose some. You can't have it all. I figure we'll make the most of Tims Monday off, and make his other day a week day so he can take the kids to do stuff that day as well. Hopefully the zoo trip will wear them out enough for the whole summer. Doubt it but its worth a shot.

 I cannot wait to take pictures at the zoo and aquarium!!! :)

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 L

Sometimes I Wonder

 I wonder about God. I wonder how everyone says "God will never give you more than you can handle" I have been given some hurdles in life, and sure, I got through them, but did I really handle them the way they should have been handled? Sometimes I am pretty sure, even though I made it through, it was indeed more, than I could handle.  The main example of this. My children. Four. Seriously? God? Did you really see in me, someone with the patience for four children? Some days, no, that is a lie, MOST days, I do not feel worthy. Most days I am certain I have failed somewhere  Somehow every day I make a mistake, sure sometimes its a small one, but sometimes its a major one and I wonder... What was God thinking???  I just hope I guess, on that day that I make my way to the top (I hope I go to the top) that God explains to me exactly what his plan was for me, and I hope he tells me I got it somewhat right, even though I felt like I was messing up 90% of the time.  So tonig

Sleep IN Sundays!!!

My kids know this rule. For the most part. Sundays Mama sleeps in. Get yourself cereal, be quiet and get along... Then I go and do something foolish, like allow 3 of 4 kids to have a friend over, which makes SEVEN kids in one house. One of which, apparently did NOT know the sleep in Sunday rule, even in the SLIGHTEST :o/ Of course when one kid wakes up, or at least this kid wakes up. ALL the kids are up. This did, help my ease of getting them all in bed this evening, but even so! ACK! The weekend went well. We spent time together at the park. All but Destiny of course, who has her own life now. I took some pictures I really liked. I am too lazy to post them here. If you want to see them you can go here. www.flickr.com/clorissasue Anyway that is all I have for now. I started a new blog, you can see it here . It will be for cooking, and recipes and such. This one will be kept for kids and life and bitching :) Just what I needed. Something more to do :)
