Our Dinner Plans Come Crashing Down


The weather was nice today, so I tried to do some spring cleaning.  I had never cleaned the outside of our big windows on the back of the house since we've lived here, so I figured today was a good day for that.  While doing so, I also cleaned the screen on our kitchen window and did a few other cleaning tasks.

For dinner, we decided to go to Chili's.  We debated getting takeout, but ultimately decided to go to the restaurant.  The kids are old enough where they are somewhat self-sufficient and are reasonably well behaved, that it's not the somewhat stressful experience it once was.  We ordered our food and then waited and waited and waited.  Finally, they were bringing our food out, but the server dropped our tray, and our plates of food shattered all over the floor.  I'd heard the big crash across the restaurant but didn't think much of it until they came and told us that the crash was our food.  They of course immediately began to re-make our order.  They brought the kids some food in the interim, and I kept eating more and more chips and salsa, and Meghan's plate had been separate and thus was the only thing to survive, so we were able to get by until our food finally came out later.  The food was good, and the manager apologized profusely and comped us part of our meal, so everything ended up being fine.
