I Got This...

After what I will refer to as a hard morning of running errands and taking care of "bidness" on Wednesday, I got home to find that Angie (our babysitter) hadn't exactly had the easiest time at home with the boys either.  Bless her heart.  She is a mom to SIX children, yet two of my boys were giving her a run for her money!! Think June Cleaver telling you your boys weren't perfect angels.  Needless to say, I was a little flustered.  

I got everyone down for late naps and composed myself. When the boys woke up, we left to run a few errands that I hadn't gotten finished since my morning hadn't gone exactly as I had planned.  I mean, is it just me or do things seldom work out exactly like you think they will?

Anyway, I began to realize that time was getting away from me and my well planned ideas for dinner weren't going to happen. That's when Jack and I both noticed Chick-fil-A across the parking lot.  He's forever asking me if we can go "in" to restaurants ... I will be honest when I say that my answer is almost 99% of the time "no".  I mean, really... I'm only one person and I've got three kids who can't exactly do much for themselves. Wouldn't your answer be the same?  Anyway, I found myself circling Chick-fil-A about six times talking myself into and then out of all the reasons why we should and shouldn't go in;  We can't stay hermit crabs forever. I have to eventually do this. My kids will have fun. Who cares if they're messy. Who cares if they're running all around the restaurant. Blah blah blah...

So as you can tell from the picture below, we ended up inside. The kids were thrilled and it must've been a sign because when we immediately walked in the door, there was the perfect table set up with two highchairs and placemats already on the table. Or maybe it was me circling the building six times that gave it away??  Whatever.  We had a great time and now I know I can do it!!!  That's not to say I won't still tell Jack no, but it is definitely becoming more doable😊. Oh and who cares that the giant cow showed up and terrified the twins. We got some laughs out of it and still had a great time.  Ha!!

It's the little victories that make a difference, y'all!!
