The Myan

Tyler's Boss, co-workers, students and their family's got together and went to the Myan for dinner last night. Talk about a NIGHTMARE. First of all the Myan dosn't take reservations and we had a party of 26. We were told to show up at 6:30. We were the first ones to show up so we put our name down and we were told it would take 60 to 75 minutes until we were seated. my kids were so hungry but we thought it would be ok, I gave them some restaurant mints to pass the time. We sat in the waiting room for an hour and a half, the kids were sooo hungry at this point. Tyler's boss's wife went up to the front desk and complained so they gave us warm tortilla's for the kids to eat while we continued to wait. After eating the tortilla's the kids were thirsty. I went up to the front desk and said we have been waiting here since 6:30, my kids are hungry and thirsty and I would like to get a cup of water for them please. They told me to be patient and they would call our name in a few minutes. This pissed me off BIG TIME. I told them they would either sit us NOW or they would bring out of cup of water, I didnt think that was too much to ask but whatever, we got called back. We had to go up four flights of stairs and on the way we saw empty table after empty table and they sat us next to a big banquet room that was EMPTY! Ok, whatever I am still trying to be patient because after all we are with about 22 other people. And of course we had the dumbest waiter ever. He came to take our drink orders and Tyler's boss's wife said actually you can take the drink and food orders now. So he took everybody's orders including Shayna's, she wanted a hamburger with nothing on it but mustard, he looked at me and said you want that plain with nothing on it but mustard, right? Right I say. Finally an hour later we got our drinks, keep in mind I am still waiting for the cup of water, a few minutes after that he started bringing out the food. This is where everyone started getting EXTREMELY ANNOYED! I got my food and a few other people at the table got their food, none of the kids were brought their food. Tyler's boss complained to the waiter and he brought out the kids food, but, Shayna's hamburger had cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and the special sauce on it, I started just scraping stuff off and Ty's boss said no way this is not acceptable I am sending it back, so when the waiter came back I clarified that I wanted a plain hamburger with mustard only. A few minutes later the hamburger came back and wouldnt you know it, it had cheese, lettuce, tomatoes and the special sauce on it and NO mustard. I just scraped it off so Shay could eat.....but she wouldn't she just wanted to go home and eat a bowl of cereal. I can't say I blame her it was 10:00 at this point. The kids were just so tired and I was so annoyed I was like whatever if you don't want to eat I don't care I will stop at McDonald's on the way home if we need to. There were some people in our party that never received their food and some people got the wrong order and the food SUCKED. I will never go back, talk about the worst experience ever. Tyler's boss was so mad by the end of the night he was able to get all of our food comped. The total cost for our nightmare was $5 dollars for the tip, which if you ask me was too much. Moral of this story......DON'T go to the Myan. We finally made it home at 11:00 and the kids crashed.....No Shayna never ate, Poor girl.

Happy Birthday Tyler

The kids and I just wanted to tell you Happy Birthday and we love you! Britton says thank you for being such a good Dad and playing transformers with him and he hopes you have a good day. Shayna says Happy Birthday Dada, I love you!

Sometimes I impress myself

I have had these flowers for like 6 years now. I never did anything with them because the kids had so much fun using them as swords and magic wands. I finally made Shay some barrettes. I think they turned out very cute and I can't believe I actually did it all by myself. I made 12 barrettes for $4. I have a friend who makes these and she charges $6 per pair. WOW! Sometimes I impress myself.

Fun Weekend

Some of our friends from Moab came and stayed with us this weekend. We had a lot of fun. We stayed up late on Friday night just visiting and catching up. Saturday my parents took our kids and went out to my Uncles house so the kids could play with their cousins that are visiting from Alaska and then they slept at my parents house. Kip, KD, Tyler and I went to lunch at Applebee's at gateway and walked around to a few of the stores, it was too cold to stay to long, then we went to the Ultimate Combat Experience (fight). After that we went to see the movie The Eye. We didn't get home until 1:00 am, which is VERY late for me, but it was worth it. Thanks Mom and Dad for keeping the kids so we could go have fun and thanks Kip and KD for coming, I hope we can get together again soon!

Crazy Weather

I wasn't going to blog about this but I decided that since this is my journal I might as well. On Wednesday the 13th my co-worker and I had to work in Eureka. We were having some pretty insane weather that day and we didn't get done in Eureka until 7:00 that evening, I had been working since 7:00 that morning so it had already been a long day. On the drive home the weather was just getting worse and worse, we could hardly see the road in front of us. Four hours later we finally made it to Lehi and the roads into Salt Lake were either closed or at a dead stop. Luckily my co-workers Mom lives in Lehi. I ended up spending the night there and after her Dad dug my way out I was finally able to leave at 8:00 am, I still had to stop at my office to return the car and scrape a TON of snow off of my car. I had to go into the office to pick up some things with no makeup on and still wearing the clothes I had been in since 6:00 am the previous day and had slept in. I finally made it to my house at 11:00 am, I had never been so excited for a shower and to brush my teeth in my whole life. It was seriously crazy. I was glad to finally make it home and see my kids.
