I am not dead physically.
Mentally dead is a whole other story.
For those of you not in the know, having a baby kind of puts you on Planet Looney for a few weeks. Also, if you exclusively breastfeed your child, you are automatically promoted to President of Planet Looney.
You read all of this stuff about how having a baby is this huge joy. Music rings from the heavens, a ray of light shines over the scenario, and everyone “oohs” and “ahhhs.” I want to know who actually experienced this.
Seriously.
What about all the crap? If you have not raised a breastfed baby, and are planning to, get ready for the motherload of all crap. Those babies have more poopy diapers in one month than most kids have in their lifetime. My poor husband was not prepared. He thought at first that the baby was ill, as most normal people would think. I quickly assured him that it was highly normal, and since I had chosen to breastfeed, this would be our lives for a while.
Knee deep in poo poo.
He wasn’t thrilled, but who is? Speaking of my husband, no one tell him I am actually speaking of him. He HATES for me to talk about him on my blogs, but I have to say I really did win the lottery with this one. He gets up in the middle of the night to change poo poo, he builds me lots of stuff (fence… swing set… crib….), and he offers to feed the baby. The last part would be a godsend if the baby would give me 3 and half seconds to pump out something for him to feed him.
Anyway, I just want to give a silent shout out to him, because he rocks. *smooches*
SO… other than being completely exhausted and having a baby attached to me 24/7 (EVERYONE needs an Ultimate Baby Wrap), everything is good on Planet Looney.
Of course I can’t resist commenting on Tejas’ 34 demerits in the latest Food Inspection Report. What is the maximum amount of demerits you can even “achieve?” I just don’t understand how people can even stomach walking into that place, much less actually eating the food. I think that it should be mandated that restaurants post the number of demerits they receive on a huge white poster board in black letters on their front door.
I have said before that I am not always negative about my customer service experiences, and I want to give an example of a great eating experience I had this weekend.
My best friend (Christina) came in from Austin this weekend to spend Mother’s Day. (Actually, she FLEW in because she is married to a pilot… la-tee-da.) She wanted to eat out, and I wanted to indulge in some major caloric intake. I have lost 35 pounds since having my baby on March 19th (brag … brag…), and I have tried to cut back on eating out. I have tried anyway. We both are suckers for Mexican food, so we met at La Tejanita on Sam Houston (across from Memorial High Senior Campus).
Keep in mind that this was Mother’s Day, and the place is usually always packed anyway. I went inside and asked the Manager (owner?) if I could have a table for nine. This would include a small infant and two toddlers, a waitress’ worst nightmare. The manager quickly got us seated, and in a great spot for the two strollers I had in tow.
The waitress got our drinks out quickly, but forgot our queso. I pointed this out to her, but told her it was ok she forgot. A party of 18 people and another party of 10 people came in right about the time we did, so I knew she was busy. She quickly apologized and brought out THREE bowls of queso to us to make up for the slip.
Although the slip up was not affecting her tip, I was happy about the extra queso!
On top of the great service (always full glasses and chips), the food came out a lot faster than any other restaurant on a less busy day, and the food was out of this world.
Seriously.
I eat at Tejanita nearly every Sunday after Mass, and sometimes for lunch or dinner, and I always enjoy my food. The prices are very reasonable (breakfast is just downright dirt cheap) and the people are nice, but this time, the food was just “blow me away good.” They have obviously changed their taco meat (ground beef) recipe. I don’t know what they did, but it is HANDS DOWN the BEST in Victoria.
If you haven’t eaten at Tejanita lately or if you have not been there because of a bad experience, I suggest you try it one more time. They really are worth a second chance – or a first!
Sorry I can’t fill you guys in on more, but my baby is calling as we … er… type. This post actually took me about a week to type.
I wish I was kidding about that…
Until next time, I hope you all had a great Mother’s Day and don’t forget to give some love to theTwizzlers!
Also – Grey’s Anatomy’s season FINALE is this Thursday!!! No McDreamy for an entire summer!
