My day today

I got up fairly early for me today at around 8:30 a.m. I was going to feed the baby if need be and then get ready to run dayshift at my job. The baby ended up not waking up until I had to shower up so my wife ended up having to feed her again. I drove to work and started setting up the restaurant to get ready to open. The owner of the store, who happens to be Iranian (even though he calls himself Persian) , called just like clockwork at about 10:10 a.m. to make sure someone was there to open the restaurant. He always makes small talk but I know he's mainly calling to make sure someone is there. I start getting phone calls way before we even open up from people wanting to order. I have to repeat specials to various people about five times before I can even finish getting the place ready to open. We started out being fairly busy and got a big order from a local factory for 15 pizzas and 8 2liters. After the initial lunch rush, it slowed down enough for me to get all of the prep work done for the day. That left me with plenty of time to kill so I doodled a layout for future home which I hope to get built for us within a year or so. All of the customers where nice today which renewed my faith in humanity once again. Once the main manager showed up, I took a couple of deliveries and then headed on home. It never got busy enough for me to stay any longer. On the way home I heard on the radio that the 15 british sailors had been released and couldn't help but wander if there was somekind of trade involved. I had the whole place to myself because my wife took the baby upstate to visit her cousin who had just given birth to a litte 3 1/2 pound boy. After feeding the dogs, I watched Attack of the Show on G4 and then proceeded to play Tiger Woods 2007 for the rest of night while listening to The Masters on the TV in the other room. Cassie and the baby finally got back home about 11:30 p.m. Now I get to stay up and wait for Gabriella's next feeding so Cassie can get some rest. Oh yeah, I almost forgot about finding out that Billy Donavan wasn't coming to coach the Kentucky Wildcats . Big bummer but we'll find somebody good I hope. Not a very exciting day I know, but I write this to let you know that I'm just a normal guy living a normal life. I wish I had more time to catch world news going to discuss but my life doesn't allow it on most days. I will try to bring these stories to you though as I hear about them.
