Our income tax refund check arrived on Friday!! CELEBRATE GOOD TIMES COME ON!
Well it wasn't a fortune, but it was enough to pay off the credit card and put a good chunk of money towards the principle on the honda. Katherine begged to go to the beans and rice restuarant. It's real name is Salsalito's. But when she was a toddler she loved the beans and rice. Now she won't touch the beans and rice... all she wants is chips and her special salsa. I am not kidding this kid will eat a whole bowl of chips and she really has to be in the mood to share her "special" salsa. It's the mild salsa and I think they just leave the jalapeno out... not real sure but to me it tastes a little like chunky tomato sauce, it's good though. So we (I really mean me) gave in and told her okay. This was our first mistake (I really mean my). We ate there and had flautas, these are soooo yummy and they are a favorite of Katherine's, Jessica's, Dawn's and I.
We go home and dinner time comes around. Do I want to cook now? NO WAY, so we decide to use the gift card we have for Outback steakhouse. I tell Katherine she has to eat a Kangaroo burger... come to think of it this could be why my child is so picky... I might be teasing her and scaring her for life... hmmm... oh well don't they always blame the mother for how they were raised?
We drive to Outback and the place is packed so we decide to go to home depot to buy a toilet rebuild kit. Out toilet has been flusing on it's own lately. If this doesn't fix the situation then I declare that we do indeed have a ghost in the house. I have suspected it, but no scientific proof yet, but I digress. After that Danny says let's eat somewhere else.. where? No one wants what mommy wants and that's okay. Danny was willing to give in to me, but I said nah... majority wins. Then out of his mouth comes Chinese... no not that word.. not the dreaded Chinese. Too late... Katherine is now all excited and wants to go. She loves chinese thanks to her grandma taking her there. Then the after thought sinks in. Danny doesn't want to go because it's in a "bad" part of town. PULEEEZE! I work accross the street from it. Now he tells me I should be scared?? So he refuses to go there.. so where do we wind up... accross town at a Chinese buffet (have to have a buffet because Katherine likes the oh so authentic chinese mac and cheese and chicken nuggets. We walk in and it's $12 per adult and based on height $5 for Katherine. We so did not get $12 worth of food in my opinon. And I so never want to go back there. The food was okay and I stress okay... but not super duper. And my starving child ate like a bird. On the way out a kid claimed he just threw up in the goldfish pond... I did not go and find out if he was kidding or not... just kept on walking and trying not to think of the mental image. Oh.. and yes they were parked right next to us. Oh did I mention we stopped at another Outback to see how long the wait was and it was an hour wait? So we started out around 5 PM to eat and would up eating around 2 1/2 hours later... My mistake eating out at lunch which put me in the mood to not want to cook later on. Thank goodness it was coming out of the refund money... but I'm thinking I may have fallen off the Dave Ramsey wagon. No fear... get back up and start all over again.
