I am a big fan of Subway. I love that it is a fresh and healthy fast food restaurant. Most Subways have great veggies and freshly baked bread. They also have good sweet tea when I indulge. Since the New Year we have probably bought 20-25 subs from Subway due to Steven's New Years resolution to lose weight and get healthy. Sadie doesn't really eat the kid's sub very well but she does love the fact that she gets undiluted juice in a box. And of course cookies. I visited a Subway today with my little buddy who had helped me with the kids while I got my haircut. I was trying to stay "on budget" (it's a long story but Steven has a crazy little money system that I try to adhere to) and was going to order waters to keep it cheap. The kind lady at the register told me we could only buy bottled water. I looked just past her at the faucet, which appeared to work just fine, and asked her why we couldn't have tap water. She said she could do that but she would have to charge me for a drink ($1.49), which I obviously was not going to do. I told her I would be happy to pay 10 cents for the price of the cup (I know they are not free) but she became less nice and told me she could not do that either. I was going to just not get drinks (I guess we could have taken sips from Sadie's juice box) but the final straw was that my gift card with exactly 9.72 on it didn't work. So, I gave in, upgraded to a combo, and got a drink. Subway won! I do plan on going to the website and putting in a complaint. How can they brag about being healthy and people losing weight when they make it that dififcult to drink water, which is obviously the most healthy choice of beverage. It has long bothered me that the "complimentary" water cup at most restaurants is significantly smaller than the drink cups, I guess the CEOs of these companies don't realize that water drinkers are just as thirsty as their other customers. But alas, at least they provide a way to drink the tap water, as opposed to the restaurant I visited today. Maybe I'll start buying bread and deli meat....or just take my own water.
Thankfully the health kick seems to be working, especially for me since I got a stomach bug Sunday night and threw up more calories than I took in for the next 24 hours (I always see the sliver lining with that illness). My kids thankfully did NOT get that bug but are still dealing with some yucky sounding coughs. I long for a healthy house! But I know it could be so much worse. A friend of a friend's daughter just had a brain tumor removed, and she is just a couple months older than Sadie. Thank the Lord our troubles are minor. Like frustration at a silly restaurant.
Steven was watching something crazy on TV last night and exclaimed "Holy Cow!" Sadie sweetly responded with "Daddy why you say holy cow?" I am thankful for a husband with a clean mouth. Tonight Eli was getting into something and I heard Sadie say to him "No sir, bud." What a cute little Mama! With a cute new haircut. Eli too, although his was done by my Dad's Flobee (sp?) this weekend (very amusing). I will post pics soon.
Goodnight!
