Surviving the Domestic Jungle

Last night I went to dinner with my sister in law and our girls at a restaurant that is really nothing special. It is a really relaxed atmosphere and pretty casual in general. It is an Italian restaurant and I got this great big salad which has now sparked salad cravings! Anyway, the point is, we had our dinner, good conversation and my kids somewhat behaved so I was pretty happy until I thought that Hailey had pooped and I needed to change her diaper and it dawned on me her diapers were in the car which was very far for me at that moment. I am having tons of very painful pelvic bone problems and every step I take hurts plus it was really really cold and the task at hand just sounded painful (literally)!! Well, luckily the girls (mine and my niece) had gone to the bathroom earlier and told me the bathroom had diapers and wipes in there. Well, I did not believe them at first because I had never heard of that and then what were the chances they had my daughters size? We headed to the bathroom to investigate and guess what?? There was a changing table with my daughters size and good wipes!! The diapers were Huggies (which I use) and not some crap brand. I couldn’t believe this! Never in my life have I gone to a restaurant that provides diapers! Most restaurants you are lucky to get one of those fold out changing table things because most restaurants don’t want you to bring your kids but parents need to eat out every now and again. Its not my idea of fun taking my kids with me but sometimes it is necessary and I am not eating at McDonalds!! I was so impressed by this and so thankful that I didn’t have to waddle to the car. It takes a lot to really leave a lasting impression with me but when it comes to this place, the lasting impression is fabulous! Good food, casual environment and free diapers? Score!! I will be eating there again soon!
