May I join you?

Dh is not bringing in livable wage and We are not going to survive without me bringing in more than Dreamseeds income so I went out today and got a job.

Looks like most days will be 10-2-Rachie will be home to sit Olivia before her job so I will not need childcare at this point.

Waiting tables in an upscale local restaurant. We gotta wear skirts and they serve on tablecloth with candles type place with fireplaces going in the winter in an old house Been here for almost 30 years.

It kinda fell into my lap yesterday and today I had the interview. I will start Monday Morning.
I also was offered a Curves position again to fill in. That one kinda fell in my lap too but the hours are not good for me. If I only fill in once in awhile I can do it so I may work 2 jobs plus Dreamseeds

I hope this helps

Good luck, from another restaurant-mama. Sounds like it'll be great, and good cash-wise, too.

As I was describing my work to the owner fo the Hickory Inn, she was very intrigued. I told her I would bring her in some of my work and I wondered if we may be able to sell some there. This does try to be more upscale than the chain restaurants so ya never know
