"The Waiter"

Let me start by saying that Tuesdays are the longest day of the week for me. After working all day, I have a piano lesson, then worship practice. I love my piano lessons, and worship practice....working all day...um...not so much! ;)
I wouldn't trade it for the world though. Let me walk you through my Tuesday.

I can't really say much about work, except well...it's "work." I did however get my work hours changed yesterday. I now work at 7:30am - 4:30pm. Not bad! I didn't mind the change much. I think it will be best for me anyway. I get a 30 minute lunch. Just enough time to catch part of an episode of "Antique's Roadshow" on PBS. Go ahead...I'm sure you are all laughing, but you probably like it too, just won't admit it! ;) If I'm not watching the Web, I'm doing my devotional, or reading my book.

After work, I head straight to church so I can prepare for piano and worship! Piano is awesome! It's my "more relaxed" part of the day. Worship is awesome too, I try to keep it fun, so that we all have a great time, but also help us prepare for services and such.

So It's around 8:30pm before I get home on Tuesdays. Mind you I left the house at 7:15am! Whew long day! I know...I know...I'll quit whining, but I have yet to tell you the greatest part of my evening!

So Josh and I pull in the driveway last night around 8:30. I get in the house...and I'm pooped. Eddie is working so its just me and the kids. Lauren was doing homework, so I went to my bedroom and put on my relax clothes....(aka...pajamas)!
I start going over Joshua's homework and soon realize I'm starving! As Joshua and I were going over his papers, I said babe "Your mom is so tired, how about you fix me dinner tonight?" Took a little coaxing but it worked!

He soon plays waiter and comes into my room with a pen and paper to take my order and a white towel draped over his arm.
I chose a grilled cheese, chips with 1 scoop of french onion dip, and a couple of pickles. He asked if I wanted double cheese and I said..."Sure, why not!" It was so cute. He asked if I wanted my grilled cheese light, medium, or dark..(i guess meaning burnt). I chose medium!

He soon served my order to me just how I like with silverware wrapped in a napkin. (I'm blessed that he likes to cook! Just like his dad!) By now, I'm really digging this - son - pretending to be a waiter thing. I soon realize I need a few more chips. I'm hollering "Waiter, Waiter!" No response....Again.."Waiter, Waiter...!"
He finally hears my cries and I say "Sir, I feel a little neglected in your service. I could really use some more chips." He says "Well I'm sorry about the service, but there are other customers besides YOU!" ...Yes ..he said that!!
But I did get more chips!

I asked about dessert. He said "All we have on the menu is a couple of cookies." He said "My kitchen isn't very well stocked!" Yes, his way of saying "Mom, we need some groceries!" :)

So I'm eating the last of my cookies and enjoying my full belly, and my waiter appears with my bill in hand. I said..."What's this...?" He said your bill.

So here is the bill itemized out.

1 grill cheese - med
Chips with 1 skoup dip
2 sour pikles

Total - $3.00

Ok...first of all I wasn't expecting a bill. Secondly, $3.00 isn't bad. Lastly, and probably the funniest part, when he delivered my tab, he also served me my wallet!!!!!

Unfortunately, I hardly ever have cash, so I told him I would have to owe him. :P
Now, I know I don't owe him anything for the dinner and he knows that too. But I have to tell you..the entertainment was priceless! That was the best ending to a long hard day! Thanks son! I love you!
