Break down at Benihana

This happened back in December but I thought you would enjoy this crazy pregnant lady story. Every December my family goes to the Kurt Bestor matinee concert and after we eat at Benihana. This year, that same day was also a family party with my moms family. So we woke up and headed up to Bountiful. We were late for the family party because JP thought it started at eleven but it started at ten. (We are late for EVERYTHING so when our little girl gets here we are in BIG trouble!) We get to the party, I eat and start feeling better. After the party we head home. The concert starts in two hours. I am tired and lay down but can't fall asleep. JP went somewhere and when he gets home the concert now starts in one hour. He tells me I should get up and get ready. I reluctantly get up and get ready. Again we are behind schedule and off to the concert we go.

As we are pulling into the parking garage, the car in front of us rolls back and hits us. Thankfully no damage was done. So we run across the street and make it to the concert right before it starts. After the concert we hurry over to Benihana. We get seated and I have to go to the bathroom. As I am washing my hands, my little sister comes into the bathroom and asks me what I want to order. I am washing my hands, can you not wait? I get back to the table and everyone has ordered. JP asks what I want and I tell him I have not looked at the menu yet can he just mellow out. My dad then asks what I want to eat. At this point I start crying and say "Why do we have to rush so much. I just sat down. Can I not go to the bathroom without being bombarded with what I want to order? All day long I have been hurrying, can't we just relax!?" I should add here that my sister Kim had a date with her and there are people sitting on the table across from us and they are now talking about me and staring.

Come to find out, after the fact, our waitress was just in a hurry and adamant that everyone order NOW. Which made everyone hurry and order. I happened to be in the bathroom so my dad sent my sister in to get my order. Why do people have to be in such a hurry? We had just sat down! Anyways, hope you enjoyed one of my crazy pregnant stories!

That is a good story, Stephani. I don't like being rushed at restaurants, either. Dumb waitress -- you've gotta look at the menu! I cried in Best Buy when I was pregnant because I really wanted to take home our desk that day. Our condo needed more furniture. Drew didn't even want to try to fit the box in the trunk of our Civic. I thought it might fit.(I was right.)
