I'm awake, I'm awake!
I went to take a little nap after work, at around 5pm. I just woke up. It's 2am. I'm probably up for the day now *greeeeaaaaaaat*
Who knows if it'll be busy at work today. Nascar has been in town and normally it's a nightmare, but this time it's night races so it hasn't really been hitting us too bad during breakfast/lunch time. Although, the one's that are coming in are tipping fairly decent. I did almost $90 yesterday with barely $500 in sales. I was slooooooooow.
Had one butthole though, earlier in the day. We got hit with a rush at around 10am. Still, food wasn't coming out too slow or anything. I got this guys omelet and brought it out to him. He was standing up, grabbing his crap and I say "Are you leaving me?" and he says "I've been waiting here for over 45 fucking minutes, of course I'm leaving!" all snotty like. I point him to the computer screen, which he's sitting right next to and say "Um, no...it's only been 16 minutes since you placed your order, sir". He rolls his eyes and was like "Fine, I'll eat it" HRUMPH. I hate when dumbasses have no concept of time - even when there's a 4 foot clock right across from him *rolling eyes*

Got Joey registered for Kindergarten on Monday. Met his teacher and everything. Had a meeting on Thursday with his teacher, 2 speech people, school psychologist (from the new school), and another teacher (from the new school). Psychologist had the odacity to tell me that my child might be autistic. Joey is FAR from being autistic, and if she'd spent any time with him, she'd know this. She's taking this information from a survey that she gave his teacher about his behaviours. Well, for one thing, he acts differently at school than he does at home, and secondly, he's a WEIRD child! Not so weird that he needs to be labeled as Autistic - and I say LABELED b/c that's what their doing. They're not 'diagnosing' him, or requesting he be checked out for it or whatever - they're just sticking a fucking label in his record that will follow him.
He has quirky habbits and sometimes odd behaviour, but he gets that totally from me - I'm weird, I'm a freak, I'm a dork - and so is my child. The ONLY thing that I would say about him that might be an autistic tendency, is his eating backwards. But that's just something he started after he started going to head start and doesn't even do much now. Like, if he's sitting on the couch, or on a chair or something munching on a bag of chips or whatever, he'll turn around to face the back of what he's sitting on. Maybe he just doesn't like when people watch him eat? Whatever.
And sometimes (i know he does this at school), when he's in one of his weird moods he'll toss himself on the floor. He does this for like attention, like showing off. He'll be laughing and giggling about whatever and then plop down or lay down on the floor and say things like "Oh now, I fell. Was that just silly!!!!!!!!"....he's a clown if you will. Don't label my child. I will defend until I'm blue in the face if I have to. Strange yes. Autistic - no.
