It's official...I am a true blond under the red hair. If there was something to forget this week, I've forgotten it. I'm just saying it now - sorry! To say things have been crazy is a serious understatement.
Our week started off in a restaurant and since then each time we go eat, I've learned to be on guard of 'weird restaurant happenings'. So we're sitting at a local joint and this middle aged woman walks by with something under her arm...no biggie at this point. She gets to her table and whips out two plastic bibs, complete with a pocket to catch food. You know the ones...like we all used for our toddlers when they were learning to use fingers and/or forks. The lady puts her own on and then the waitress puts the husbands on for him. Please do not think I am making fun of elderly people. I am not. These were people my parents age, not elderly. I've really never seen anything like this and cannot stop staring. I videoed it and would post it if I could figure out how, but it was really entertaining.
Our next eating out adventure took place a favorite brunch spot up in Cary and I swear the State Fair lost it's Bearded Lady. Usually it is all me that notices things like this, but this time it was Adam. And boy did he notice. He actually told me my little peach fuzz wasn't so bad after all... What a compliment. I have since seen this lady twice since the first offense.
Our final restaurant adventure was back at the scene of the crime at the local joint in Williamston. We were deciding on what to have when Zach is suddenly seized by pain and starts withering around in pain on the floor and on my lap. He can't walk because the pain is so bad. He tells me between tears that his belly hurts. Talk about panic. This kid had a grapefruit size tumor in his belly without me knowing - so whenever he says his belly hurts I am all ears. Turns out it was an extreme gas attack. Who knew that kids his age got attacks like that??? Not me. He hasn't had something like that since he was a newborn so it caught me completely off guard. I've got a arsenal of those gas drops in my purse now though, just in case.
We decided not to try anymore eating out after this. I've more than met my quota of weirdness for the week. Enough of adult bibs, ladies with beards and gas attacks...
The motorcycle ride, Cruizin' for Childhood Cancer, is almost here and has been planned as best as I know how. Hope everyone is ready for tomorrow - LOTS going on!
I am thankful for the perfect weather we are supposed to have and hopeful for a massive crowd to join us at The Pig in Williamston. Whoever is too far away or can't make the ride - you need to hop on over to Cary and see all the lovely volunteers for our Giving Grill at Whole Foods Market Fall Harvest Festival from 12-6pm. Both events should be awesome thanks to all our supporters.
See you all tomorrow at one event or the other. Thanks for making Zach's Toy Chest such a success! Check out the website for all the details of both events by clicking here. We're making a lot of kids happy by supplying a distraction in the form of a new toy.
