Yummy Lunch and Temper Tantrums

My Mother-in-Law was going to be in town today, so I thought it would be nice to take her out to lunch. We decided to go out to Pizza Hut, they had a buffet, and Thade would definitely eat there. She came by at 10:30 a.m., and Dylan had just gone down for a nap. Normally Dylan sleeps a half hour to an hour tops, today he decided to snooze for about two hours.

Finally he was up at noon, and Thade was starving. I fed Dylan quickly, and we headed out the door. We get to the restaurant and Thade has a giant melt-down. He was starving, but didn’t want to eat, he didn’t want to sit, he did not want Mommy going to the buffet at all. He calmed down a bit once he saw that they had Pepperoni Pizza. We had a nice lunch, and I made sure to get seconds 😉

I got all caught up on all the good gossip, and we went through some Christmas present ideas too. All in all it was a pretty nice day. The weather cooperated too, it is 70 degrees in the middle of November. I love it!

Gas Prices and Holiday Travel

Last Friday while running errands, I noticed it was time to stop off and put gas in the car. I drove past a few gas stations, and hoped the I could put off the task until later. Gas prices were up to $3.14 here, and are set to rise even higher with Thanksgiving this week. Ouch!

I have (maybe) three trips to make this week. We are driving to my Sister-in-Law’s for Thanksgiving, and then maybe to my Brother’s for Thanksgiving evening. I also have a day off planned (out of town 20 minute drive) on Friday. This is going to be one expensive week in the gas tank.

How are the gas prices in your area? Has the rise in gas prices changed your holiday plans?
