Momma Bear Worries Too Much...

Today was Johnny's first day of actual work at the Old Spaghetti Factory. He trains today and one other day, not sure when. I'm a nervous wreck right now because he left the house at 3:00 for his 3:30 shift and he's still not home (and it's 9:57). Okay, okay, I'm a momma bear and I worry too much, but still...he's my baby. I don't want to call him because if he's driving, he can't pick up the phone (against the law at his age to be on a cell phone & driving) and I would hate for him to have to pull over to talk w/me. I worry too much. I hope he had a wonderful first day and that he really enjoyed himself. He's so shy sometimes, that I wonder how he'll do mingling with the other employees. I hope he comes out of his shell and truly enjoys his time there.

For those wondering, no, John didn't get him the job, he had to apply and go through the steps all by himself. He doesn't work at the same location as John, it's against the rules and besides, it wouldn't be fun to always have your dad watching over you.

Okay, you can come home anytime now Johnny :) He asked me the other day how many paychecks it would take to buy a car, so he's definitely motivated to earn some money.

I'm going to stall and keep this post open until I hear the garage door go up...

Okay I cheated and called John who secretly called over to his restaurant to make sure that he was still there. I feel better now. I will sit back and patiently wait for him to get home. Gosh it's tough being a parent sometimes! You love 'em tooooo much!!

Peace to you all ♥ Love, Genie
