Seriously sometimes I want to sell them(no better yet, take them for free) or stuff them behind wallpaper, argh!
As you all know it was my 6th year anniversary yesterday. All went well during the day and I told them we would go out to diner at night with them, since the babysitter(my mom) isn't around to watch over them. Dh came home with flowers and two lovely cards poring his heart out how much he loves me and had been thinking of me all day....aaaaaaaaaaaaah! so far so good.
When we arrived at the restaurant we always go to with the kids(because they have a kids corner) it was closed because of a private party. Ok so I was really pissed at this moment because I already made up my mind what I would take for diner because of my diet and now we had to find another restaurant that I knew didn't had that for diner. But there was DH calm and reassured me that it would be fine and we would find something else. Well we did but not with the food I had in mind, so screw the diet hehe. There was no kids corner in this restaurant but they had fishes. Only problem was that the cord was very loose so Jadenn almost fell in with the fishes. They were not listening , talking loud even though we repeatedly asked them to lower their voice........ nope can't do. The happy and loving mood of DH went down the drain and he wished he brought his I-pod so he didn't had to listen to them and just enjoy his food(which was terrific BTW). We didn;t speak one word with each other during diner were only busy with the kids to get them from somewhere, because they wouldn't sit still or be still during the whole 3 course diner. The low point came when the waitress placed a bowl of french fries next to me(that were for DH) and Anthony said out loud: Mom, I thought you were on a diet?.........Shame.....ignore him....again even harder because he thought we didn;t hear him(and the rest of the restaurant): Mom, you can't eat that that is fat and you do not want to be fat anymore right? we "friendly"ask him to shut his mouth and eat but he kept saying it over and over again until dh says thats it, no funfair for you mister. So here I was embarrassed as hell and with a cranky hubby and kids who look like they are send straight from hell. Not my idea of a fun night out. ah well what's new........
Ok reminder of the RAK tomorrow, do not forget to post a comment and you can look for another sneak peek on Marcia's blog and this time it is something Elsie made. Saw both of the things she did and they ROCK, big time.

wow that's a bad night out! Next time remind yourself to have your anniversarydinner when the babysitter is back! Or maybe you can redo it soon?!
Well it's embarresing what Anthony said about the fries but then again you weren't tempted to eat some of them as you probably thought everyone was watching you! Sorry just trying to get something positive out of all of this for you!
Take care, have a great day anyway
love and hugs

Oh bummer, what a night...... Nevertheless, the food was good, and that diet..well, eat less next week. But for the kids..... I can completely understand you!

OH, I am so sorry, Corinne. I do not know how it is to have kids but I have nieces and nephew who can be a handful. I really like your hair btw!

Totally get where you are coming from. What a horrible evening. Hopefully, when your babysitter can return, you can enjoy a nice evening for two!

Sorry Corinne, don't want your kids for free, Igot two exemplars here. They're only two and a half years old, but I had the same thoughts as you! But otherway - they're so lovely - even like kids are!
Hope you will repeat without the children and enjoy it!
