  1. Oh Kelly, what a lovely post! We have WAY MORE in common than I thought. In fact, I got fired from my first two waitressing jobs... Then I took the hint and got an office administration job - LOL! I envy you for being able to deliver your kids naturally. I tried, but had to have an emergency c-section with my first, seeing how he was almost 10 lbs. I always joke that I'd still be in labor if it weren't for that c-section. hee hee. My 2nd and 3rd were also a C.

    Thanks for sharing!

  2. Thanks, Jenni! An almost 10 lb. baby out of bitty you? Aye!
    After I got fired from Big Boy (I didn't attend a mandatory meeting and I didn't think they were serious when they said "manditory" -LOL.) I held several other waitressing jobs and to this day, I have nightmares a couple times a year about being in "the weeds" and not being able to get to all of my tables. Ugh!
