Two Kids and a Dog

No we don't have two children, I was referring to Lindsey and myself. Has this semester absolutely blown by for anyone else? As fast as days have turned, Lindsey and I have still had time for some embarrasing moments (actually just me). If you're unaware, I work as a server for a local restaurant. The other day during a busy night, I was running back and forth to please some hungery Jazz fans; as I was turning a left corner towards my tables, my left foot slipped on a puddle of water and in the blink of an eye I was airborn. You know those moments in your life whether it be right before a car crash, slipping on ice, tripping down the stairs.......the moments where you recognize your mistake too late and for a split second, you have no control over what happens to you next.......this was one of those moments. I had to just let my body go and wait for the crash. Would this story be any more amusing if I told you my hands were carrying two plates of hot food and all my fellow employees were watching; yes it would. I was now on the ground with a bowl of hot Salmon Chowder covering my body and a Philly Cheese Sandwich spread out across the restaurant floor. I could imagine what everyone watching was thinking...."you are one pathetic loser"..."what a cluts"..."...."who hired this champ". I jumped to my feet and wiped off my face; how embarrasing. It's tough to recover after a fall like that, it does something to a man. Not a day goes by where someone doesn't crack a joke about that fateful day. It's days like this one where I'm glad to have a wife and dog that love me, even when I smell like soup.

Oh, my poor little Nick Nick. I am sorry, but I think it runs in the family. I was carrying a tray with a double layer of coffee cups at the Stardust Hotel.I thought I was so strong to hold that tray high above my head, but when I pushed the swinging door someone else was coming in the other direction and I was knocked over, along with the whole tray of cups, which were smashed to pieces on the floor. Every cook and waiter in the place roared with laughter. Funny, not!
