Morning Dan! Finally got the reservation. Glad I didn't wait to call. The latest time I could get for 6 people at Chefs was 5:10. Off to finish getting ready for work.
I will give you my experience of the tough ove I was shown and take what you will from it. Growing up the projects, lets just say I did not have the best of influences in my environment. As a teen I was going nowhere fast and quite the PIA. How my mom survived raising me and my brother is beyond me. Anyhow at 17 she told me when I turned 18 she would be moving out and I wasn't comingDespite the fact that I got myself kicked out of high school (long story) I did get my GED before I was supposed to graduate. I got a job waiting tables. I walked to and from work everyday! I did not have a car or a driver's license. My mom wold not sign anything saying she was responsible for my actions until I turned 18. So I did not get a driver's license until I was 18. I found a place to live and learned what is was to be responsible for my own welfare. I eventually got a POS used car and I started going to community college. I went through a number of POS used cars and went put myself through school one class at a a time. It took 10 years and I graduated. Along the way, I got married to Mr. Wrong #1 and also a Mr. Wrong #2 (thrid time is a charm as they say). I learned some very valuable and hard lessons that stem directly from my mom saying enough of your BS and it's time to grow the Foxtrot up. I hated it at first, I begged to come live with her, I told her I'd be on the street if she didn't let me come back etc. I thank her everyday for doing what she did. I know for a fact had she relented, I still would never have gone back to school, I'd still be the person I was and nothing would have changed regardless of all of my promises. Today my mom is my best friend in the world! Today I know there is nothing I can not do, nothing I can not accomplish if I wish it, no goal I can't reach. Today, I believe anything and everything is possible if you want it bad enough.
