Why do I get myself into these situations?\u00a0 I should know by now that it never goes smoothly…<\/p>\n
Robert is out of town.\u00a0 I didn’t want to cook (no surprise).\u00a0 So I decided to take the girls to a local pizza joint.\u00a0 I was in such a good mood I even let the girls invite one of our neighbors.\u00a0 WHAT WAS I THINKING???<\/p>\n
We get there.\u00a0 Fine.\u00a0 We pay.\u00a0 Fine.\u00a0 We get through the line and find a table.\u00a0 Fine. Everyone starts eating.\u00a0 Great!\u00a0 It doesn’t last long…<\/p>\n
…the littlest one asks to go to the potty.\u00a0 Wow. I’m amazed.\u00a0 We dash off to the potty with no issues.\u00a0 We get back to the table, I set her in her seat and she screams at the top of her lungs – “I need to go POOP<\/strong>!”\u00a0 Wow.\u00a0 Didn’t see that<\/em> one coming!\u00a0 We dash back to the bathroom for nothing more than a little air and head back to the table.\u00a0 No problem!\u00a0 As soon as we get there, the other 3 girls jump up and head for the bathroom.\u00a0 Of course the little one wants to go too and starts pitching a fit.\u00a0 I didn’t want to leave the table unattended because the girl busing tables was really eager and I didn’t want to lose all the pizza I had just paid for.\u00a0 A minute or two of suffering and I finally get the 2 year old settled.\u00a0 Just then my oldest daughter comes running back to tell me that the middle child needs help.\u00a0 Woo hoo!\u00a0 With the 2 year old in tow I head back to the bathroom.\u00a0 Three times in less than 10 minutes.\u00a0 Can I call Guinness Book of Records yet?\u00a0 Finally everyone has used the bathroom…in a big way. I’ve washed my hands so much that my fingers are starting to prune.<\/p>\n Back at the table, everyone has finished dinner and is eating dessert.\u00a0 Out of the blue Abigail suggests that I might want to let the girl at the front know that the toilet is clogged.\u00a0 YIPPEE!!!<\/p>\n As a final stab to the gut, the neighbor child says “Hey, there’s an arcade in the back!”\u00a0 Don’t even get me started on that….<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Why do I get myself into these situations?\u00a0 I should know by now that it never goes smoothly… Robert is…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-43","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-children"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=43"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":47,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43\/revisions\/47"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=43"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=43"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/annakatedonovan.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=43"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
