Eating out ....

I know I shouldn't be eating out but it is hard to explain our family dynamic... We don't go out much but when we do it's a fun kind of family time. Anyway so I went to Red Robin and had an eye opening experience... It was the weirdest feeling only being able to take a bite or two of my food. I felt so self-conscious about it! I felt like the waitress and my husband were staring at my food every five seconds. The only thing that saved me was that my one year old was so super fussy and I just held him, played with him, and pretended to eat. I could not wait until it was over. So for those of you wondering what the heck I ordered, it was a Cesar chicken wrap and cup of chicken tortilla soup. I thought that would be OK since I could pick out the chicken and drink the broth from the soup well I was wrong! The soup broth was thick like enchilada sauce and the wrap was mostly lettuce which I don't even eat yet! Not that I could even eat without some major discomfort from the chicken! what sucks is that I ate a french fry just fine! Next time I will go with fish and mashed potatoes but Red Robin had none of that.
The next day was opening day for baseball and my hubby wanted to go out for breakfast... another kind of tradition. However, this time I told the waitress I was just going to eat whatever the kids and baby did not eat. So I ordered from the kids menu, so much smarter and less weird. I got the scrambled egg with cheese, two slices of bacon and half a waffle. I actually ate a bite of egg, a quarter to a half slice of bacon and two "squares" of the waffle, the rest the I let the baby play with and he made a mess and most of the food ended up on the floor.
