Am I Asking Too Much?

All I wanted was a quick and simple meal in peace with my daughter tonight. I am sick. I am tired. And I need to feed my girls. So I headed to our local Dairy Queen. They are over priced, but we do like them.  I haven’t ate there much in the last few months. We’ve been saving money so avoiding dining out, but I caved in tonight – decided we deserved it.  And then what? We order our food. We go sit down. Cameron is playing her DS, and I’m writing notes for class tomorrow, when these 3 teenage girls come in. They are loud from the moment they come in (which doesn’t make me happy), but I am accustomed in dealing with loud teenagers so I turn on the “block them” sensors and get back to work.  They sit across the restaurant, but we can still hear their entire conversation.  *sigh*

But then it got worse. It seems that one of the girl’s boyfriend was cheating on her with a girl that was prentending to be her friend. (teenagers = drama) So she calls the boyfriend and curses the boyfriend…for a LONG time. While I’m sitting in the restaurant with my EIGHT YEAR OLD!!!  Even after the phone call, she continues to curse him to her friends.  UGH!!!! I JUST WANT TO RELAX AND FEED MY BABY IN PEACE!!!  IS THAT TOO MUCH TO FREAKING ASK?!?!?!?!

And if all of that wasn’t bad enough, oen of the girls has a cell phone that has some pretty explicit songs for routine.  So between the cursing and the ring tones, my daughter hears more language than she normally hears in a month in 30 minutes!
