Yo Quiero Chuck E Cheese

Tip of the day: Just because somebody speaks Spanish doesn't mean they are from Mexico. But most likely.

- Taylor's Birthday was on Saturday. The birthday party was at pump it up and there were quite a few kids. I got pretty tired chasing kids around and knocking them over. (PUMP IT UP has two rooms full of giant inflatable Stuff kids can fall, slide and play on)

- All went really smooth, Taylor got good gifts including little kid video game stuff, a bike, a robotic dog, some movies. Although I think he liked the balloons the best. Just playing with the kids was probably my favorite part.

- Went to my parents Sunday Morning and came back to the house Sunday around 11 excited to watch some football and chill out had been a hectic couple days. When I got home my girlfriend was into some heavy duty cleaning. DAMN IT. I knew it was going to be trouble. She was ready to clean I wasn't, the apartment is way to small to sit while somebody cleans. So we got into a fight and I ended up watching football back at my parents house.

- Football is good

- The kids were kind of driving me nuts on Sunday and so I decided to take them to Chuck E Cheese later that day to get out some of their energy. DISASTER. It must have been some kind of Mexican Holiday (I will have to look that up) since I was the only person in there besides the workers who didn't speak Spanish. Took a while to get a table and having four kids by myself was a little nerve racking but it all ended up being OK. The kids had a lot of fun although I was kind of pissed when I was waiting in line for a while to order our cardboard cheese (that is what passes for pizza at "The Chuck") and some tokens. I am not 100 percent sure what happened but right when I was about to step up to the kid friendly counter the woman at the counter quit her job. This left me pretty pissed off and I made sure they knew it and ushered me to the front of another line. It was like a joke there. That is what happens I am sure when you have such young kids working at a place like that. Maybe she was frustrated because she didn't understand Spanish but that is just my guess, all I know is it was a long day.
