The dishes are done, and tomorrow both of my kids are going to the dentist at 8:30 in the morning. I'm hoping it doesn't go as bad as I think it could.
We've done swim class for the older kid 4 days this week and she won't even blow bubbles in the water. She clings to me for dear life. At the end of class, they sing a good bye song to each kid, and when it's your kids turn you dunk them in the water. So all the kids get dunked - and 3 out of 10 cry bloody murder. When it comes to Celia, she blows a kiss and waves like Cinderella. It's quite funny, and I will not dunk her cuz she'd get livid. I'd rather deal with looking like a sissy mommy with a cute kid then listen to her cry even if it's for 30 seconds. One kid slaps his mom in the face after every dunk.
Next week, I'm taking Effie. I think she'll like it better.
Today we made it to Bob's on Glenoaks for a late night piece of pie.
Celia ran in immediately to practically make out with Bob who stands in front of the cash register. She ran up to him, hugged him way too long and began kissing him on his lips. On the way out, Effie did the same thing and she kept trying to get him to sip her chocolate milk.
However - we went in, sat down, and a guy was spraying chemicals all over the rug in the next room as he was carpet cleaning. A bit unpleasant.
Then... we ordered pie. Strawberry pie sounds good right? The pictures are always dreamy. Big berries, lots of sugary strawberry glaze, flakey crust, mounds of whip cream? We ordered an entire pie cuz we were thrilled, and since a slice is 4 bucks, and a whole pie is 10, we opted for the whole thing. Well - no it wasn't what we dreamed.
It had tiny pieces of over ripe - almost black berries that tasted like they were fermenting. The crust was soggy and the whip cream was melted. It was a bit on the nasty tip. So, I walked up to the homeboy waiter and said, skip the whole pie - we've had enough! He didn't charge me for it - cuz he could tell it was bad if even the kids wouldn't get near it - so I gave him a 4 dollar tip on a 6 dollar meal instead. Haha. Oh well, things can't always be dreamy at a dreary, very "un-Glendale" establishment (if you knowadImean), but at least my babies had fun with Bob.
