Day 1

Well Jenn...I did it. I finally started a blog. I guess that I should start out by introducing myself. I'm a young working Mommy of a beautiful 15 month old little boy Robert. If you read this blog for long enough you will come to realize I love to talk about him.
Robbie is my world. And today my world had to go for his 15 month well baby checkup. That means the dreaded shots. He had to go in last week for an ear infection so we combined a recheck of his ears with his well baby. My doctor told me that there was about a 25% chance that the antibotics wouldn't clear his ears. How can you tell me that there isn't a better medicine for that? I mean we can cure cancer but not an ear infection? Anyway...I had to work all day today (more on that later) and Daddy got to take Robbie today. He was such a big boy about it. He only got upset when the doctor came in to the room. He didn't even cry for his shots! And his ears were clear! Yay little man. Now here comes the fun part. Daddy and Robbie came to see me at work after his appointment so I could give him kisses and loves and see how he was doing *paranoid much?* I went to go get him out and he had what looked like a chapstick mark on his face. Which wouldn't be uncommon since Daddy and I are both addicted to chapstick. Well it wasn't. There was motor oil on my baby. On his new coat, his jeans, his shirt, his face, his hands, his clothes and his carseat. Needless to say we were glad that I work in a resturant and we have access to some serious non toxic cleaners. He found a rag that Dad used to change oil and smeared it all over himself. Even after all that he had to get a bath at his favorite Aunt's tonight and it took some serious scrubbing to get the oil out of his hair! He was a tired dude after that. In fact he made it a whole four blocks before he was asleep like this in his carseat!

Anyway about work. Today well...it sucked. I worked for almost 11 hours and I didn't even average 12 dollars an hour which is well below my goal of 15 dollars an hour. It was very slow today and we actually really didn't do much of anything. There are days though that I wonder why people think it is ok to treat your server like they aren't anything. I hope they really get a kick out of it. Because in the end it really means nothing. If you are mean to me I am mad while you are there and in the 30 seconds it takes me to clear and reset your table it's clean and new again. Maybe that's why I like my job so much most of the time? I basically get a new start once an hour or so. Needless to say I'm a server. I work pretty close to full time at TGIFridays. I love the people that I work with and we have a lot of fun. You will hear about them from time to time. I am sure that there will be some fun stories that come out of this. Like this one for example. Today there was a girl working who is annoying. It takes a lot to get on my nerves. But she's always there. Today I made her cry and quit. Why? Really I'm not a mean person but I want you to do your job. END. I don't want excuses, whining, crying or arguments. Do your job or get out. Well needless to say she got out. And called me names on the way. I'm proud because I held my cool and just told her to enjoy her evening. She left and boom...in the 30 seconds it took me to clean up her mess it was a whole new start!

Anyway I have rambled enough for now and MTV is about to post the new episode of Teen Mom online. Yes I know I'm a loser but I totally love that show. In fact tomorrow I may blog about just that! I hope you enjoy reading it Jenn!
