Cheese. This is despite living less than one half mile away from the closest Mouse House o' Germs and having a five year old child. Also despite having a client who obtained a job at another CEC location and required job coaching - I used the boss's prerogative and made other folks on my staff coach him and never put myself in the rotation to cover his hours.<BR/><BR/>When I was a kid, my parents steadfastly refused to take my sisters and me to our area's version of CEC (Showbiz Pizza). I plan to pass this same gift along to my kiddo, unless, of course, the dreaded birthday party invite comes in the mail.... But if and when that day comes, I'm making Hubby go, because I did the damn princess party and he owes me now!<BR/><BR/>Oh and PS to whomever upthread mentioned never remembering the Purell - I always carry a teensy bottle in my purse, and a gigantic pump dispenser bottle in my car. That way, we're never too far away from removing the germs of the masses.

We were at Dave & Busters (another kiddie casino) in Chicago and my daughter was playing skeeball when the game malfuntioned and spit out something like 3000 tickets. She would probably count it as a highlight of her childhood. Not only was she able to buy some stuff from the elusive glass case but she even had enough left over to buy Mommy & Daddy D&B shot glasses. Isn't she thoughtful? :)Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06303328697936091133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-472738462670456793.post-89647240043709170822008-09-10T17:13:00.000-04:002008-09-10T17:13:00.000-04:0059 comments! wow, you be popular! man, what can I ...59 comments! wow, you be popular! man, what can I say, that someone else has not already.

Half of them are inviting us to be polite and we are going to them to be polite. It's ok to say "no" <I>unless</I> it is one of the two best friends, of course. There will be plenty of kids there. <BR/><BR/>No to Disney. No to Suck E. Cheese. No to obnoxious wild behavior and the sugar fueled "gimmes." No to snacks after kids' sports events (I'll bring my own, thanks). I don't need the pressure of keeping the kids and parents happy by picking the perfect balance of delicious <I>and</I> nutritious.<BR/><BR/>No to party bags; wasn't it enough to play games and eat cake and ice cream?
