My nails are growing for once

My entire family has been sick the last month and I am beginning to feel like a crazy person. First it was my son, then me, then my son, then my hubby, then me, etc. Well, my son went to the dr. today to find another ear infection and resp.infection. Arrrghh! One of my friends suggest I build a bubble for him and I tend to agree with her. I have used hand sanitizer so much my hands are mad dry. I Lysol and clean fanatically, but still have a sick family. I always have been a nail biter (anxiety) and for once my nails are long because I have become a germophobe.

Do men design restaurants?

This evening I went to a restaurant with my parents and son for dinner. Gavin is only 18 months old and sits in a highchair. The table that we were seated at was at least 3 feet taller than the highchair he was sitting in. Anyone who has a toddler can attest that mealtime is messy and hard especially when you are eating out. Since he could not reach the booth, we decided to put him in a booster seat-ha! Booster seats do not have straps or anything to keep your child in, so this proved to be quite funny as he swept across the table. Okay, funny now - not so much then. He was literally trying to climb over the table, over the back of the table, etc.
So my question to you is, do men design restaurants- without a thought to children? This was a family restaurant by the way and even if we could have used the high chair there was no room in the aisle for people to walk through. Just a thought, no offense to men by any means but just interesting none the less. A mom would have laid out a better plan I think, because we have all been there. Just like the tiny aisles in stores at the mall vs. your stoller, lol.
