Next time you see a table full of kids at a restaurant, don't snicker and shake your head. Remember, that someday it could be you with 5 children (ages 1, 2, 3, 4, and 7). Then praise God that they don't all belong to you.
Today I met a girlfriend at IHOP for lunch. When we arrived we were told that the cook was behind and there would be about a 30 minute wait to get our food. We decided that it would be about that anywhere we went, so we stayed. We were able to entertain the kids with oyster crackers, crayons, and a book, but the food arrived just in the nick of time. Chloe (age 3) decided that she wasn't going to talk for the day, so it added to the fun. The customer right next to us stared with a frown, shaking her head in disgust.
I know what you people are thinking. I used to think the same thing before I had kids. Do you really expect us moms to stay in our houses 24/7, never going in public with our kids? We're the birth control you need!
