Salad not ALWAYS the Healthy Choice

So this is something that I know but...

I had another dentist appointment today for just a cleaning. I was still a little sore from yesterday's root canal. I have to have 3 wisdom teeth pulled so they asked if I wanted to do that on Monday and prepare my tooth for the crown today. Sure I said...Wrong...I was still so tender that when they started in on the tooth I was cringing. I am still sore but no where near as bad as yesterday.

My husband and I were supposed to go to the mall and dinner to get the baby her first pair of shoes. I am looking for a helpful shoe store to help find a pair that fits correctly. He had to work late (that is the story of his life). I have finally accepted that this will happen and I need to just have an alternate plan. I used to get bant out of shape but there is only room for one person to be gloomy so I decided to leave that to him. I am accepting what I can't change and that is his work and such. If he was home we would have done the mall, if not then I do other errands by myself.

Meredith and I went to run errands like getting containers to organize, going to BJ's, and Target. We debated all the way there where to eat dinner (well as much as a 1 year old can contribute). I decided on Ruby Tuesday since it is in the Target parking lot, not usually crowded, and has a salad bar... OOOOPPPPPPSSS, can't leave baby to go the salad bar. I ordered minis and fries for her so she would have fries and a club house salad for me. (Note to self--READ the whole description) It had baked chicken, bacon, tomatoes, and cheese. Had I thought about it, I would have said no tomato and no bacon. I could have taken some of the cheese off. As it were I mixed it all together and ate about 3/4 of it. I ate half of Meredith's minis but only about 2 of her fries.

One of the bad things about having a 1 year old is that you have to order her something but she does not eat it. I usually get myself a pasta dish and give her some of the noodles. Sometimes I do a burger and she gets some fries. She only gets fries when we are out. The nice thing is that I don't have to cart a bunch of food with me anymore. I can order her a little something. Next time I think I will get her and the minis and a side salad to share.
