Day Off

I took yesterday through December 27 off. However I do think I will have to do some shoeing before then because of people calling me at the last minute. Today we decided to go back to Newark Mall which used to be kind of an annual thing for Chandra and I. There is a little difference between just me and Chandra going versus now taking 3 kids along.

First of all I wanted to eat at Denny's or IHOP, can you say redneck. We drove all over town looking for either one of the restaurants which I knew was somewhere in town but could not remember where. We finally decided to eat at Bob Evans, reluctantly because of some very poor service the last few times we have eaten there. Well today they lived up to their usual standards. There was a line clear back to the door. When Chandra went to put her name in one woman said they were not taking names they were just seating people while the other woman was taking names. :0 To say there was a little confusion is an understatement. The manager came out and saw what was going on and just turned and walked away. Eventually he did walk us to our table but it had nothing to do with me having a GRUMPY moment. Chandra did light a little fire under their hind ends but I again had nothing to do with it.:) The mall was fun but stupid me decided to wear my cowboy boots because they make me feel pretty. About an hour into walking around the mall I was sorry I had made that decision. Jaguar really wanted a wallet, so I bought him one at JCPenneys. We went to Walmart afterwards to see if we could get Lexi to spend some of her gifts cards from last Christmas. She definitely saves money better than me. We decided to eat at Roadhouse on the way home which I forgot how to get there. As we were turning around to go the other direction Lexi says I see Dennys. She said it is right over there it is just a little sign. I said where I don't see it. Right there don't you see the sign and then she spelled it out for us D E N N I S. :) Needless to say we never did find Dennys but we did find Roadhouse and had a very nice dinner. We came home and made some home made hard rock candy. We are all now just a little sugared out, yes even me.
