That's all the time I'm going to give to that ignorant and hateful man.
I don't understand why restaurants bring out the kids food burning hot and place it right in front of the children. Of course they say...don't touch...it's hot. OK. that'll work. I think that they should wait until the food is cooled down and then bring it out. And yes, if that means waiting just a minute before you start my food...then so be it. It's not like we don't have to wait for it to cool at the table...only now I'm dealing with 10 arms with 10 busy hands and the whining starts because everyone is hungry.
I heart restaurants who have fruit, cheerios and or crackers for the kids to snack on while we wait. It makes all the difference in the world sometimes. (and yes, I can pack these items myself....but it's sure a nice touch when it's offered) Chick filet (we call it fill-et) has to be the most kid friendly fast food restaurant I've ever been to. I love them.
I don't understand why they make bikini style underwear in leopard print for little girls in Syd's size. SERIOUSLY. They also have matching leopard print training bra's too.
I'm sorry. Those things are to make a person feel sexy. Any child from the age of infancy to 18 (25 for my kids) should NOT be trying to feel sexy. string bikini, low rise underwear on my daughter. I just can't take it. (shaking head)
I took my boys to school today. The house next to mine is the corner house and then about 5 houses down the street is where the school is. I don't strap the boys in their car seats when I make that short drive. I know I should. Most accidents happen within a mile of your home. trust me, J reminds me all of the time. (although I know if the roles were reversed, she would do the same thing)
ANY WAYS. Today was no different. I make them sit down in a seat while driving. Usually it's squished together on the passenger seat. A woman that I saw exiting the school with someone when I pulled into the parking lot watched me pull to the drop off and stop. Both women sat and talked together while we waited and then she drove up in her unmarked car and approached me just after I passed the boys off to their teacher.
The woman who was wearing a tag around her neck that looked more like she was a conference member and not in law enforcement held it out as she started, "mam, tell me you didn't have those boys unrestrained in the front seat of the vehicle?"
me : "you mean in the parking lot ?" acting slightly naive..good one. that'll throw her off.
woman : "yes, this parking lot is not exempt from the law. Are you a daycare provider ?"
me : aaaaaah, Baverly, riiiight, "no, they're mine." I wanted to laugh out loud at the daycare comment.
woman : "please don't do that again."
me : "ok"
They were unrestrained when I took them home....but I did make them sit in their seats.
I suppose burying a child is much harder than strapping one in a car seat for a few years. for that 300 ft drive. (sigh)
My ever growing dunlaps is causing me to watch what I put into my mouth. Not so much the watching part, but the what part. (ugh) I'm pretty sure it's ALL because of the nuva ring. which I will no longer be using after this cycle. not because of the weight...more because of the pulmonary embolism part.
My wife and daughter are flying to Seattle for the weekend to spend some time with J's sister and family.
It was kind of my idea. I thought it would be fun for Syd....and this way we didn't need to worry about finding someone to sit for the kids. I'd be here with them.
I'm TOTALLY second guessing my decision now.
I suppose it's too late to take back my, what the hell was I thinking, original offer.
