Some Mom's get a great Mother's Day, they get taken out to lunch or dinner and surprised by gifts. Other Mom's get a crappy day filled with screaming kids and husbands who don't give a crap what day it is. My day was quite busy because I had to work my winery job. I served greek BBQ to about 50 Mom's and their families, at first it went pretty smoothly, but as the day progressed, the BBQ cook got lazy and the food was not turning out very good...the Mom's started complaining and I had to do a lot of running back and forth, sweating, apologizing and trouble shooting. This was not fun. I did get paid a $25 tip, just from the event, plus another $20 from the wine bar, so all in all, I at least made some money and got to spend the day outdoors. When I got off work, I was greeted by roses, hand-made cards, soft house-slippers and a gift certificate for a pedicure. NICE! Then I cracked open a bottle of wine a friend bought for me, and I was happy.
I am very tired today, and although I want to go use my gift certificate, I am actually too tired to leave the house. Last week was very trying for me. I apparently made a few people angry, which always baffles me because I make every effort to be a good friend and co-worker. Plus I have just felt sort of stuck in my ventures...I don't know how to move forward without advice and/or assistance, and I don't know where to turn for that kind of help. So I plug along at what feels like a snail's pace. The band is still in search of a guitar player and we cannot focus on the songs we want to play without someone to play them with. My patio really shaped up, but I have run out of money to put the finishing touches on it. I guess it was meant to be a week of rest. Now I am wondering what is up this week.
