Praise Jesus for Staycations

I learned yesterday that staycation was added to the Webster's dictionary!!

It is official...for those who do not have an updated dictionary present...

Stay·ca·tion \ˈstā-ˈkā-shən\- (noun) a blend of ³stay and vacation : a vacation spent at home or nearby

So I was off for 9 glorious days. I was not looking forward to sharing the 9 days...I am a bit selfish if you didn't already know that.

Tito & I have the kiddos this month...and I was not excited for early mornings.

I am NEVER excited about early mornings.

Those 9 days wound up being my favorite 9 days of the summer.

The were awesome!! The schedule wound up being good for me and them...I am a creature of habit...which makes me resent my job THAT much more.

That is neither here nor there...

All the crazy things happen on my shifts, so with 9 days off I knew that the restaurant Gods had some fun stuff in store for me.

In the first 5 mins of me being there I got to hear how our Country Fried Steak was hard from a man with an EMPTY plate and NO TEETH...EAT SOUP!!!

Then mother nature teamed up with the Gods and let go of a storm that was AWESOME!!!

I love rain so I was in heaven...windows all around me...yessir!!!

Winoria and I were holding the doors open checking out the clouds that were going in a circular motion and dipping down pretty low when I heard over the radio that I had a phone call.

Sweet Tito was checking on the kids...a tornado had just touched down in Wellborn...the only thing was...I WAS AT WORK...how do I know if they are ok...

but I did...I just got off the phone with them, and all was well.

So the power flickered off and on about 5 times...resetting the computers each time.

Then we got busy...the other restaurants were closing bc their power was down!

And those firemen love to eat!

BRING IT!!!

I was refreshed and ready!

I must admit...without my staycation I would have been a wreck!!!
