The Joys of having my girls here with me

It has been great having my 2 beautiful daughters here the past 2 wks. One is 15 and the other is almost 14. I have been on the go ever since they got here and working too. We have had a GREAT time together. The youngest one has been playing video games with her step-dad. I think he's really liked that.LOL!!!
But to be honeset I am ready for some rest!!!!!!!What's that????
We've done dishes and laundry ALOT, more than usual for just 2 people. And the trash, good-grief!!!
I know all good things must come to an end and I am truly gonna hate to see this come to an end. On Tues. when I have to take them to the airport, it is gonna KILL me. I'm already starting to feel emotional, but trying not to let them or my hubby see it or know it.
I can proudly say I have 2 wonderful and beautiful and amazing girls-young ladies. I love them dearly and I am gonna miss them.

To all: ENJOY YOUR CHILDEREN FOR THEY GROW UP WAY TOO FAST. IN A BLINK OF AN EYE THEY ARE ADULTS!!!

WHAT A WONDERFUL WEEKEND.....

I had a wonderful and enjoyable weekend. My hubby and my two daughters that are visiting took a trip to D.C. Keep in mind I nor my girls have ever been. It was great. It was hot and humid but still a great time.
I have to say if you've never been to D.C. YOU NEED to go. It's a very educational and moving experience. Even my girls had a great time.
But all the walking really wore me out. But with all the walking my girls NEVER once said my feet or legs hurt. I was very proud of them. We all complained about the heat and humidty.

People in general

Some people want to talk and treat you like a child when it's perfectly clear you're an ADULT!!! At least I thought being 39 was an adult. They want to keep nagging you about every little thing you do and how you do it. First you have to understand I am a waitress. I was told along with other co-workers that we spend too much time at tables. Well, first of all, THAT IS HOW I MAKE MY MONEY. That is customer service, which I believe in GREATLY. You have to make a connection with your customers or they aren't going to tip you for your service.
Then last night when I got off work, my husband was sitting at the bar, and this lady(we won't go there), was leaning all over his chair. He was ignoring her and she kept on talking to him. I walked over and put my hand on his back and told him to come sit with me. This stranger sot me the dirtest look, along with the bartender that informed me she was the type that picked up men,(whore-as she put it). She was giving me and the bartender dirty looks for the time I was in there. I'm not a jealous person, but come on did she not see the ring on his finger or get the message he wasn't interested in her.
I got a big thrill out of it and I think he did too. I'm sure she'll be back in the resturant again and say something to me. That is when I'll have to put her in her place.
The world is full of idiots, that I'm beginning to find out.
But I did meet a nice family that was visiting from N.J. and they were very friendly and we had a wonderful conversation while they were in.

Where has customer service gone? You go into the grocery store and no one says hello, how are you, thank you anymore?
I'm just a friendly person and I want everyone else to be that way too. Guess I was wrong?

We'll see what happens at work tonight. Hopefully it's a pleasant night and no one is in a blah mood.

JUST ANOTHER BLAH MONDAY FOR ME

I check my email this morning and this is what I got:

One day someone's mother died. And on that clear, cold morning, in the
warmth of her bedroom, the daughter was struck with the pain of learning
that sometimes there isn't any more.
No more hugs, no more lucky moments to celebrate together, no more phone
calls just to chat, no more "just one minute."
Sometimes, what we care about the most goes away . . never to return
before we can say good-bye, say "I Love You."

So while we have it . . . it's best we love it . ... and care for it and
fix it when it's broken . . and take good care of it when it's sick.
This is true for marriage and friendships ....And children with bad report
cards; And dogs with bad hips; And aging parents and grandparents. We keep
them because they are worth it, because we cherish them .

Some things we keep -- like a best friend who moved away or a classmate we
grew up with. There are just some things that make us happy, no matter
what.

Life is important, and so are the people we know .. . and so, We keep them
close!

I received this from someone who thought I was a 'KEEPER'! Then I sent It
to the people I think of in the same way.
Now it's your turn to send this to all those people who are "keepers" in
your life.

YOU ARE A KEEPER!
Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today
I did.
Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.


It makes you really think about the people in your life. Those close to you and those that you have lost.
I lost my mother in Jan.2005 and it made me really start missing her alot. Her and I were really close-like best friends. When I lost her I did lose my best friend. I still think of her, especially when I hear certain songs. But I know that she is up above looking down over me and watching and protecting me. She always knew what to say to make me feel better when I was down.

Keep those close to you. Let them know you love them and care for them. Life is too short, way too short.
