Ken and I went out to eat at Chili's on Saturday with Ken's cousin and his wife. We were seated at the table in the back next to the take out door. It was so COLD! If you are ever seated next to that door and it's cold outside, ask for a different table. They used that door constantly and we had that cold canyon wind blowing on us. I was not impressed! We asked them to move us, no room. We asked them for free hot chocolate, they laughed. We asked for the crappy table discount, no such thing. So, we just left a lousy tip.
I brought what was left of my dinner home. The kids opened it and asked me what was all over my fries. I told them it was guacamole ranch sauce.
Shaelynne: "Eew! That is so gross!"
Justyn: "Mom, why do you always have to try the gross stuff and ruin all your food."
Me: "I actually thought it was really good."
Justyn: "Yeah, you're weird so of course you would like weird stuff."
Me: "Try it. If you don't like it, then get out of it and I'll eat it but stop breathing your negative energy all over my food."
So, they tried it.
Shaelynne: "Yum! This is good. I really like it."
Justyn: "Wow! This is good. Great, now I'm turning weird just like Mom."
Shaelynne: "Well, I don't mind that I'm weird like Mom. It's kind of fun!"
Me: "Just eat and stop talking. And I wasn't weird until I had kids!"
AND now for some really really really great news.....
Alexys got accepted into the charter school for the next school year. Hooray!!!!!! She made it through the lottery.
She's had a good year at the public school but she is very excited to go to the same school as the other kids.

We put Kelsie in the lottery and we are out of district, so we are on a waiting list! We are bummed!! Oh well, I guess we'll just keep trying!
I may have to look into charter schools here. I have never researched it before.
I think guacamole ranch sauce sounds yummy. I always ask move if I am by a door or the kitchen. I need peace when I go out.
That's great for Ali and your sanity! Now you shouldn't have anymore bus issues since she has siblings to go with! I hope she likes the new school!
Yeah for Alexys!!
I love guacamole also. Now you have me craving it after reading your blog. I guess I'll have to plan something Mexican for dinner tomorrow night.
Yum, but what the? they wouldn't move you, or try to do something to make up for giving you a crappy table. I mean when you go out, you should be able to enjoy the experience, right?
Yeah for Alexys!!!
Favorite line: "... stop breathing your negative energy on my food."
Congrats on getting into the school!
I eat things now as an adult that I never would have touched as a kid.
Congratulations to Alexys!
And congratulations to you on being 'weird.' (after you had children, of course - that's when it all started for me, too!) haha :D
