This weekend is Trung's "guy getaway" to Lake Tahoe with four guy friends, so I decided to get some help from my parents while he is away. We left for Houston on Thursday night and had our usual dinner stop at Chili's in Bastrop. While at Chili's, we saw signs posted saying that the restaurant would start being smoke-free on February 1st...yay! We don't go that often, but when we do, we can totally smell the smoke.
Friday morning Trung slept in a little while I watched the kids, and then I took an hour nap before preparing a quick lunch. After dropping Trung off at the airport, the girls and I went to Willowbrook Mall to visit Jeannie the Gymboree manager and of course, to shop. Jeannie used to work at the Galleria and is best friends with the manager from the Gymboree at Lakeline Mall in Austin. Fortunately, I entered the mall where the childrens play area was located, so I let the girls play for a good while before heading back to my parents' house. At one point in time, a little boy came over and started to grab something from inside my Gymboree bag. I stopped him nicely and looked around for a parent, and when his mom came over, she just said, "oh, he must have seen something colorful in the bag". Then later, the boy went to someone's stroller and tried to get in; his mom then said "oh, we have one just like it." I don't know, but I think apologies would have been nice, but maybe her child does it so often that she doesn't apologize anymore. Regardless, I just know that if it was my kid, I would be apologetic.
Anyhow, today was awfully cold and windy, so we just went out once this morning to La Centerra to see if that Gymboree had anything good...it didn't. After lunch, the girls and I took naps and played with Jimmy and kids until dinner. Jennifer came over for dinner and helped bathe and entertain the kids, while I kept trying to control my cough. It hasn't been too bad with Trung being gone, but it sure would be easier if I felt better. I hope he's having a wonderful time though because he sure does deserve it! :)
