Reason's why you shouldn't...

... send a pregnant women out for food.
I finally ventured out of the house to get something to eat for Ryan and I and the experience was less than stellar. Ryan thought Schlotzsky's sounded good and it didn't sound bad to me so I figured I'd give it a try. I thought I'd just order what I normally get but that didn't sound amazing and I felt like I wanted something amazing. I order the sandwich anyway but then ask what kind of soup they have, YUM they had chicken and wild rice (sounds amazing right??) and I also see they have brownies (amazing again right) so the order is now at a sandwich, chips, drink, soup, and brownie and that's just for me. They then proceed to mess up the order and when they "fix" it they only mess it up again. I finally get home and get out all this "amazing" food and its awful. They messed up 2 sandwiches for me so I can't even eat it, the soup was pasty and seemed like it was the bottom of the batch and possible days old and the brownie didn't even taste like a brownie! I will say the chips were good but not $20 good (yes I spent that much for 2 people and couldn't even eat most of it). Moral of the story...when you send a pregnant woman for food she's probably going to order the menu. She can't help it, especially when she doesn't know what she wants. As you can see not everything turns out the way she planned and chances are everything is not going to be amazing. So just keep going out and getting stuff for her, if she has someone to limit her she'll pick one thing that absolutely sounds the best to her and more than likely it will be great or at least she'll eat it because there are no other options!
Since the whole Schlotzsky's experience taught me nothing I decided to order food again but this time from another place and that isn't fast food. I decide I want pasta and yay they just opened an Olive Garden about 2 miles from our house. I find the number to call in a to go order only to get a busy signal the first time, put on hold for over 10 minutes the second time, and then finally on the third time I tell them I will not be put on hold and I just want to place my order. I order cheese ravioli with alfredo and 2 salads (this is for Ryan and I to share) and its not a complicated order or even a big order and he tells me its going to be 45 mins!! Fine I figure its Friday they're busy and I'll just eat a snack in the mean time. I make my way up there 45 minutes later and they have no to go parking so I'm left parking way out in the boonies just to walk in and pick up food. I get in there only to be ignored and when I say something the girl tells me its going to be a little while yet...she doesn't say anything else like telling me I need to talk to another guy, I have to find that out by watching and waiting until more people come in behind me and ask about to go orders, but a nice waiter stops and tells them they have to talk to the guy in all black. I'm now getting more and more aggravated and can feel myself starting to shake. I'm now all up in the personal space of 2 women that walk in and are talking to the man in black trying to get this guys attention. He finally looks at me and all I can say is "how much longer is my order going to take?" He asks my name and says 5-10 more mins (I've already been waiting like 15 mins)! I am now ready to throat punch someone and am seriously considering walking out but then I think no I've been waiting over an hr for this so it would just be letting them win. 10 mins goes by and out comes my food. He's repeating my order and I say "no tomatoes on the salads right?" Him:"oh well there's only a couple on each of them" Me:"I'm allergic to tomatoes hence why I asked for them without" So he then tells me he'll be right back and goes to make more salads tomato free (which I specifically asked for to begin with). 5 mins later he's back and he looks at me and says Come back and see us again soon...well I'd like to say I smiled at him and said of course and have a nice day but really I just looked at him and said "I don't think so!" and walked out. Ok moral of this story if you really like a restaurant and want to keep eating there, don't "let" your pregnant wife order food from there. 1st she's got hormones coming out of her from all different holes and its really hard to reign in some of the emotions especially when it comes to food. See she has a love hate relationship with food, she doesn't really want to eat because she feels so nauseous but knows that for the most part the food "touches" her and gets to her in a way that nothing else has been. Its like a little slice of heaven when she gets to eat something that she's been craving and for that moment when she's devouring the food she feels great and forgets all about morning sickness. She doesn't want there to be an issue with this place but when something like this happens she feels almost offended because they're coming between her and her food. So again if you really like a restaurant and want to continue going there for years or at least the next 9 months you just go get the food and keep her away from situations where she feels threatened or angry because in no way does she want to be angry, her precious food becomes tainted when its suppose to be her "happy time!"

To all the pregnant women: if you do go some place and realize what your order isn't what you really want and order something else because you missed it on the menu the first time here's the best way to handle it....Just call your darling husband and tell him that you were thinking of him and you picked him up something from Jamba Juice (this was just where mine was) for when he gets home. Not only will he think this is great but he also will never have to know that you had a total pregnant moment and that you really weren't thinking of him, just yourself. It really works out better for you both in the long run haha!
