I'm A Server

When my children are around... I couldn't be happier.  Well... OK... I admit that when one is missing or unable to be with all us... I could be happier if they were here.  I love to do things for my kids.  It's true.  It sounds very oh so 1950's but my favorite times are when all my children and their families are here and we live in the kitchen and I am serving them all kinds of wonderful food.  I'm a server.


I have some technically saavy children who replied that I'm a "dedicated" server.  I guess I am.  I've been doing it since 1982 when my first was born.

We are all cramped in our little house and practically on top of each other in the kitchen.  I love having the crock pot going for a wonderful home made dinner.  I love making cookies while we play games.  Then of course, we all settle down to watch a movie which naturally brings popcorn and ice cream.  I love how we all fall asleep all over the place.  And then there's the inevitable where each wakes up and with sleepy eyes, and groggy minds, try and find a pillow and blanket.  You always know who was last to make the move to a bed.  They have a wadded up piece of clothing for a pillow and two or three small throws as their blanket.  And the best is in the morning.  I love making pancakes, or omelets and the smell brings them all back to me in the kitchen.  They stagger in one at a time into the kitchen, rubbing their eyes, looking for breakfast.

In this computer dominated world, I've learned that there are xeon dedicated servers.  The difference between this just a dedicated server is that xeon dedicated servers are the cream of the crop.  They run cooler and at lower voltages and are spec'd for 24/7 continuous usage.  I think I qualify!  You have to keep a cool head with seven children, four new spouses, and two grandchildren.  And any Mom's know that we are "spec'd for 24/7 continuous usage".
