mommyhood initiation

today we decided to go out to eat after church. we've found this to be an unwise decision in the past, but since corinne is a little older we thought we'd try a new place (meaning not kaffe mocha which is pretty much the only place we go with the girls). there is this cute little french bistro-style restaurant downtown that we found. this is the kind of place ted and i would have loved to have a cozy lunch over the tiny tables and look at all the interesting decor before we had the girls (or on a date). we thought we'd give it a try. so, i managed to nurse corinne without any incident (which can be a feat). however, once she was finished and our food started arriving she reached out and pulled my icy glass of cucumber water all over me. so, now i'm sitting on a wet cushioned seat in wet jeans. the water was so cold i think the people sitting next to us thought i was injured by the glass falling because of my reaction. still wearing my nursing cover, corinne in one arm innocently looking around, i was hovering over my seat trying not to sit down. it was lovely! thankfully, we were able to eat our lunch without any other excitement. next time maybe we'll just spring for macdonald's drive-thru!
