Another Day Another Dollar....

Hello everyone! I know it has been awhile since my last post but I finally have something I need to share. Ok I guess its more like vent... So this past week I worked a lot of shifts. The tip have not been very good, a lot of 3 or 4 dollar tips which let me tell you do NOT pay the bills. So in spite of the fact that the tips haven't been good it had been an okay week until Saturday night. I walked in to work 10 min early so i could finish getting ready and discovered I had already been sat because the ladies wanted a table that just happened to be in my section. So I ran and got ready and greeted my table with my usual cheer only to discover that they were RUDE! I have been treated like a 'waitress' before but never like a slave. I carried their 8 drinks and two plates of bread (because apparently it should have been magically waiting for them) out and they didn't reach to grab them or move anything to help me. Okay so i blew that off llke maybe they were too into their conversation to notice. But every time i brought them something i needed to get them something else, so my other tables probably felt neglected but I think i did okay. So when they were done i brought the bill and wile they were sitting there chatting their children were climbing all over the seats and blinds and running over to unoccupied tables and dumping salts and ripping up the flatware. My manager almost came over but they saw him and got up to leave. So i went to close out their bill and yes they left me $1.17 tip on a $60 dollar bill. I was so angry! And i never get angry at people who i serve, i love serving. But as soon as they left I was fine. OK well enough of that. I hope eveyrone else had a better week than I!

Valentines Day

As we all know it Valentines day yesterday. A day loved by many and dreaded by more...lol just kidding. So I hung out with Ave all day and then went to work. It was insanely busy! I wish I would have had more tables though. I didn't make a ton but I did not do that bad either. Our takeout was busier than we expected and poor Stacie was the only one on takeout. She did double the sales we normally would have on any busy day. So our kitchen was totally overwhelmed with all the takeout and then the food odered in. It was lik one kitchen serving 2 full sized restaurants! Luckily I did not have any mistakes, but it did take awhile for my tables to get their food. Thats to be expected though. =) O well hope fully tonight will be busy but not crazy. How was everyone else's Valentines Day?

Las Vegas!

So I went to Las Vegas last weekend to visit my family and for Cadi's 2nd birthday. The airport was fun I had to practically strip down and then wake Avery up to go through security lol which was fun. She slept the whole way there though and wasn't too bad on the way back. We had alot of fun! Cadi got a ton of gifts and we all ate ourselves into oblivion! lol Im glad I got to see Ryan and Meg too. Its fun to be around them all especially now that they are all expecting lol.
Avery loved the attention! i have pictures i just need to get them off my camera. Ill post some and then the others later.



Mike and Ash picked me up from the airport and took me to my car. Thanks again! I hope we get to go again soon. I miss me familia! I miss RV too. Cord is taking a class on weekends so we can't go anywhere. lame! But itl be over soon.

SuperBowl!!!

True Fans
Well this weekend was fun! My parents came down for a day or two and we got to hang out, and Cords family was down as well. On saturday I went to potato barn with Velda and Steve and then again with my parents. poor Avery had to be carted around all day but she didnt mind lol. Im glad my parents got to see her! i miss them and being able to share with them all the cute stuff she does so much. On Sunday we went to church and then watched the Superbowl! Awesome game, and the Giants won so yay! Mike and Jordan came to join cord and i and his family. it was fun we ate pizza and wings and i am sure everyone had at least 5 sodas lol.
This week I finally made an appointment for Avery to get her chekced for acid reflux and colic. Im sure she has both the poor thing. She gets pretty fussy at night and isnt always great furing the day but we love the good times. =) It's funny, I don't feel like she is an extremely hard baby (although Cord assures me she is) but when i compare her to others she is not easy that is for sure. i don't want to complain though, I have beautiful girl who just has issues with her tummy.
We went to get her shots the other day and I swear those people WANT to make these babies cry. She was asleep and I made the comment " maybe she will stay sleep" and the lady replied " oh no she wont" in a very sinister sounding tone. And then she Jabbed those giant needles into her poor little legs. She DID cry but only til the lady was done. And then we got her some tylenol for the pain. She got a mild fever but is ok now. She has a runny nose though.



She has started smiling and just recently began laughing. lol Its so cute when she wakes up laughing. Its fun to watch her discover he hands and learn to grab. i feel like a fool because i spend most of my day making rediculous faces trying to make her smile and laugh. It is so cute though i cant help it! i hate going to work because i miss her but at least i am with her most of the time.
I wonder when she will get hair, she is so bald except for her little mullet she has rockin in the back. Oh well, that is all I have for now. If you have any comments about ways to help with reflux or colic let me know.

Hectic...Crazy...

The other day Avery had her first HORRIBLE day. She cried from 3pm to 9pm I could not get her to calm down for anything. Lucky for me though before I went ape crazy my mother in law came down to visit her daughter and she was able to calm her down. She just had some gas. She has been beter since but still has some problems. I get nervous now though everytime she cries i pray she will stop at some point... lol

HALLOWEEN

For Halloween this year we went and hung out with Mike Ash Adam and Nicole. We just chatted and hungout but it was nice to be out of the house and visiting friends. I took Avery to the doc for her weight check before though and I forgot her costume!!! I felt so bad! It is a cute costume! Oh well we have pictures of her in it, and I guess it doesn't matter because we didn't take her trick or treating anyways. She is too little.

Here are some pictures of her in her costume...


Ahoy Matey! Lol She hated the eye patch

She slept through the whole thing. She just curled up! I couldn't do it that costume didn't look to comfy...

Sleep

So I know that they tell you before you have kids that you'll never sleep (and I think this is partially true) So can I just say I am glad that so far Avery sleeps very well? Sometimes she has some trouble getting to sleep but once she is down she sleeps through the night only waking up to eat. Its kinda sad that Ill never have another undisturbed nights sleep, but lets be honest it IS kinda my fault lol! My advice to everyone: read the WHOLE book don't just skim. lol Oh well Im just glad she is here, and sleep can come when Im dead, or well ya know what I mean lol...


Here is Avery sleeping and smiling...

I love this picture! She is sooo cute!
