You think you can do these things, but you just can't, Nemo!

I think I still have that movie memorized from when Bailey was obsessed with it!  And that is the phrase running through my head as I wait for the Tylenol to kick in and take away my lovely headache.  For future reference:

-You cannot take three little children to join your son's class at Hometown buffet during their naptime
-You cannot assume that substituting your regular slim fast breakfast with a sugar cookie will allow your brain to function the same (thanks ever so much Slimfast recall!)
-You cannot think that you will be able to actually eat at the restaurant with said three young children (again, sugar cookie does not last that many hours!)
-You cannot think that ice cream is enough of a lunch for a 3 year old who is whiny and growling at you like Gollum in Lord of the Rings

BUT!


-You can stop on the way home and spend a dollar for a spicy chicken sandwich you actually get to eat while everyone is strapped into their seats
-You can put all three little children down for a nap at the same time
-You can take two Tylenol and sit down and blog about it for a good laugh later 
-You can be reminded as you record these wonderful memories of your friend Melanie's blog who also quotes from the Great Nemo-- "Just keep swimin', just keep swimin', just keep, swimin', swimin' swimin'...."
