Fancy disaster

So the other two mommas and I decided to go out to dinner together since our husbands all work very late. 3 moms 3 babies and high hopes, all packed up around 5 o clock on Wednesday. Becca chose this Italian restaurant, because she had been to it 2 years previous. we show up and it's fancier than she remembered. they seat us at the most front table facing the door and tell us the table has a reservation at 7:30 so we need to hurry. rude. I'm sure they seated us there to scurry us along and out of the restaurant.
I was feeling flustered because normally I'd have kalob to pass Lincoln back and forth with so we both can eat if he got fussy. I knew if he started crying I was trapped. I couldn't just leave outside for the other girls to pick up my tab. And what if he was hungry? This wasn't the place for breastfeeding , And what if he had a blow out!!? I could hear the click click of the lil time bomb that was in his carseat on the floor. Impending doom.
none of us were conversing with eachother; only hushing our lil ones between bites. Inevitably linc started crying. Everyone was staring at us, and you'd think on a Wednesday night a restaurant wouldn't be packed, this wasn't the case. It was full, even the outside seating and it was even raining! it was business suits having wine and people meeting dates at the bar and everyone had reservations - I would know, being so close to the door. I wanted to get my check after 3 forkfulls.
normally people around town are SO friendly. waving me over in Walmart to see Lincoln. Or the old sample ladies googooing and pinching him at sams club. Again, not the case. Check please! Everyone was glaring at us! Needless to say, we rushed out of there as fast as the restraint harnesses in the carseats would allow. I was on my knees on the floor trying to buckle him , it was so embarrassing. None of the 3 of us even spoke, just got in our cars and left horrified.
Next time, girls night out will be at Denny's or just pizza in. sometimes I just take a deep breath and say " this is my life now. " I accept it and most of the time I love it.
