Eating Out

When Peter, The Hubby, came home with the kids today I told him I was trying to come up with something to make for dinner. He said that he passed by Texas Roadhouse on the way home and it looked good. We have been eating out a lot in the past couple of months so we decided that we woudl go there tonight and it woudl be the last time we went out for dinner for the next few months. Unless Peter and I go out on a date at some point, but it's been so long I dont' know when/if that's gonna happen for a while! Peter has a 10% off card for Texas Roadhouse so I figured it would be ok.

The kids were ok in the beginning, but by the end of the night I was not thrilled, to say the least! Kevin was the only one who I wasn't upset with by the end of dinner. Ashlee kept walking back and forth along the bench, forcing Shaylee to keep moving and trying to sit on me. Shaylee was incapable of speech unless it was at approximately 80 decibles.

Needless to say, I was pretty embarrassed. When we got into the car I sternly talked to the children ad told them that it was the worst evening I have had in quite a while and we were not going out to eat anymore. They didn't know that Peter and I had already decided we weren't going out for a couple of months. Might as well milk the guilt trip on the kids, right?

Also, since we were so distracted by our children's bad behavior, Peter paid the bill quickly and we left. Fifty dollars! later, we realized that we forgot to use the 10% off. SO much for saving a little of the cost. Wow! that placce can be pricey. I cringe when the bill is $30!
