Why did we go to dinner?
As as mother, have you ever done something and during the moment thought, what in the world was I thinking? Well we decided to take all three kids to dinner last night. Surely it couldn't be that bad. WRONG!!! The moment we sat down at the restaurant, Ryan was screaming. Don't think I mean he was just whining. No he was screaming, throwing food, and extremely unhappy. Well you don't want to tell him NO and put him in time out with 100 people staring at you, I mean he is only 20 months old. So I hold him why he screams, then Andy decides to take him outside, praying this will calm him down. Meanwhile, the 5 year old, is jumping out of his seat, yelling things at me (like all of the sudden I lost my hearing), standing in his seat (like we have never taught him manners). Abby the twin was just sitting there eating her hushpuppies, not a problem in the world. Meanwhile, her mother is having a nervous breakdown. Finally, Ryan comes back and sits in my lap and eats. Guess what, now its Abby. She is now full and ready to go play. Now both twins want to get down and take off. So I bet you are wondering how the night turned out.....Well Andy left with the twins, and Dylan and I rode home with Carmen. Yes there was actually someone else there, who would have known...I don't even know if I ate anything. And you wonder why Andy and I argue and lose our minds...does this happen to anyone else?????? Are we alone in this world????

I witnessed the whole thing unfold and it was not a pretty sight! I have wondered so many times whether not having kids of my own was a bad decision...I don't wonder anymore! I love, love, love those kids but I don't have to deal with all the insanity everyday. When I have had enough "fun" I can go home where it's quiet and peaceful. I don't know how they do it on a daily basis. Jennifer forgot to mention that that was my birthday dinner! Fish, grease & a bottle of tums! What a night!
