Hey Yall
Drive by posting here. Been out all day and haven't read any of the crazy stuff that I'm sure went on today while I was gone.
I told the kids that I would take them to the park today. It was DS's last day of school (1/2 day) and I let him stay home. I'm off on Fridays so I thought I'd take them somewhere and just spend the day having fun together, just the three of us. I don't know what possessed me to offer up Chuck E Cheese as an alternative to the park, but I did. They lost their minds, jumping around, yelling "Chuck E Cheese, Chuck E Cheese " They were chanting in the van all the way to the place.
I have high expectations because I think I have outwitted the masses. The kids are still all in school. They can't possibly be at Chuck E Cheese because they're still in school. It will be good. It won't be crowded. We will escape Chuck E Cheese heck today. I have high expectations again.
We pull up to find not one, not two, but THREE big yellow school busses in the parking lot. Apparently, one MIDDLE SCHOOL and an elementary school decided that today would be the perfect day for a field trip to Chuck E Cheese. On the very last day of school. Why?
Anyway, I had already told them we were going and I didn't back out. I'm a tough Mom. Girl power and all. So we busted up in there to capacity crowds. The manager was so freaked out at all the color coordinated shirts invading his work space that he managed to trip over one of his employees and hit his head on the ground REALLY HARD. Standing two feet away from me. We all helped him up after he sat motionless on the floor for a few minutes, stunned. I don't know if he was more stunned by the fall or by all the little peeps in green shirts fighting over whose turn it was to ride the fake roller coaster. He ended up being okay and we used up our 25 little tokens, ate our crummy pizza and got the heck out of Dodge.
The kids wanted more tokens and I turned into the Meanest Mother in the World like Kim, my 89 sista.
"Absolutely not. And if you ask me again, I will never, ever bring you here again. In fact, just look at me and I will never, ever bring you here again. Come on. Do it. Please do it. "
Sadly they didn't bite.
So then we left and went to Bed Bath and Beyond and now I'm all better.
