My mother worked as a waitress. Her days off were Monday and Tuesday so we would have our special meals during the week instead of the weekend. She worked on Saturday and Sunday. She did not have to be to work until 5pm so she would start dinner around 2-3pm. My dad would usually get home from work around 3:30. We would all sit down together and eat. Then she would get dress for work. She wore a uniform – a white shirt and black skirt. My dad would drive her to work. The restaurant was only about a 10 minute drive so she always had plenty of time.
