For all the servers out there.....

Here is what I don't understand, if you are in a bad mood, why would you come into an establishment and take it out on every single person around you? Seriously! I don't get this. If you are having a bad day stay at home. Don't come in and ruin my day and make me as miserable as you. I have been a server off and on for over ten years, and this has always driven me nuts. I don't understand why there are people out there who act like I am their very own personal pinata. And just like one of those blow up clowns I get knocked down and come right back just taking it over and over again. Sometimes I wonder if these people where ever taught manners when they were growing up. Just because I am taking your order, it doesn't mean that I am beneath you. I am the person handling your food and making your drinks, you think that you would be appreciative that you don't have to do it yourself.

Very recently I witnessed a woman say some horrible things to her server. She repeated them to anyone that would listen and then blamed it on the fact that she was stressed and didn't get much sleep. Okay, so you didn't get much sleep, big deal. Neither did I, but you don't see me being a royal witch to you. Yes we get tips, but honestly not that great, and not enough to put up with rude people. When this happens I sort of feel like a mother who isn't appreciated for all the things that I do. So if you are a mom, the next time that you are eating out somewhere try to remember how it feels when you don't feel appreciated and be nice to your server. They are doing the best that they can, and if you still want to be rude.... take your business somewhere else. I don't need your $2 tip you were gonna leave me anyway.

Hunter is 5 months old!

Hunter actually turned 5 months on the 5th so this is 3 days late, but since I hadn't been on in over a month I figure that it is still ok.

So what is Hunter up to you ask? Well, he is now eating stage 1 baby food occasionally, well only when breast milk doesn't satisfy him. Lately if I hold him when I eat he attempts to grab my plate or bowl. He usually can't really do it, he more or less just wacks it, but you get my drift.

Here is Hunter with Dallas. He was eating squash. Dallas was so excited and kept trying to help, but you know how that goes.  :)










He is also rolling.... at least onto his side. Since he was 3 1/2 weeks early he is a little bit behind where he should be. He likes to stand up when you help him, and he would rather sit and be able to look around at everything rather than just lay there. His big sister is always trying to show him how to do things, however she doesn't fully understand that he can't do things by himself just yet.

We got new pictures done the other day and once they come back I will put a few of them on here so you can see how big he is getting. He is already over 2 ft tall!! He is going to be tall like his daddy!

WOW!!

It has been over a month since the last time that I wrote on here!! Pretty weird! It sure has been super busy with Christmas and New Years.

So what's new with me, well Jeff went to the mountains on the annual Mudders Christmas tree run and got our tree. This one was the best yet.

Here is Jeff and Dallas when we put the tree in the house. Dallas was so super excited! She is 5 1/2 and is now old enough to fully understand what Christmas is. I don't know if she fully grasps the whole concept of Christmas, but she is learning. Dallas and I put all of the ornaments on the tree after Jeff did the lights. It was like the Griswalds. Jeff had SO many lights on the tree. He had about three sets of all white lights, and the whole time he kept quoting the movie and saying "Oh Clark. It's beautiful!" I was laughing so hard. It was a lot of fun.

 Here is a picture of the tree after it was decorated.
I think it looks pretty good!

We had Christmas Eve with Jeff's Dad's side of the family. It was a good time. We had Christmas morning with Jeff's mom and then we did Christmas with my family and had dinner with Jeff's mom. Here are some pictures :)

Here is Jeff opening the hammer that Dallas got him. She was so excited!

Here is Hunter before we had to change him. Isn't he adorable?

Here is Jeff with Hunter....

.....and with Dallas......

......and me with Dallas and Hunter. 

The month of December was very busy! I am hoping that I will be able to write on this more. I think that it is a great way to keep in touch with friends and family. I know that I learn a lot from my cousin's blog. Check out her blog http://www.carissagraham.com/ 

How was your Christmas?
