I heard a dish shatter in the distance as it hit the floor in the kitchen.
The plate hitting the tiled floor was the perfect depiction of my mood
because my heart shattered the moment my bitch of a boss told me that we
were short-staffed, and I couldn’t leave to go to my kids’ football game. It
was the second game of the season and the second one that I’d missed. And
when I miss their games, there’s way more that comes with that than just
being sad and disappointed. It causes me to remember that their father isn’t
shit. It makes me recall how I hate him, and most days, I wished I had never
met him. But then I wouldn’t have my boys.
The almost constant guilt that comes with being a single mother is
enough to stifle my breathing and make me dizzy with regret some days. I
hated not being there for my boys because they already didn’t have him.
Knowing that when they were adults, their childhood memories would
consist of both parents missing pivotal moments in their lives made tears fill
my eyes. I didn’t think I was being dramatic. I felt my feelings were valid,
and as I snatched up the tray with my table’s orders on it, the thought of
walking out of the door crossed my mind. I wanted so badly to say fuck this
job and go cheer my twins on as they dominated the field, but I had paid rent
earlier, and doing so, left me with $175 in my checking account.
We needed food, and I needed gas. The light bill was also coming up due,
and I didn’t get paid from my full-time job for another two weeks. I could
walk out the door and go be there for my sons, but the gratification would be
short-lived once I was scraping pennies together trying to survive. The only
thing I liked about being a waitress was that I left the job with money every
day. The $193 worth of tips in my pocket was going to be used for grocery
shopping the following day, so I needed to stay put. If I used coupons and
was very selective with the items that I chose, I could use whatever I made at
work tonight to buy groceries for the next three weeks at least, and that would
be one less worry swimming around in my head.
Murmurs filled the room and the mixture of food, cologne, and perfume
invaded my nostrils. The restaurant that I waitressed in part-time was always
busy and that meant that tips were usually pretty good.
