*Warning* This is going to be long. I met an old friend out at a local taqueria tonight. I had my kids with me. She had her son with her. We both needed a maragarita and our children needed food. There was a jukebox. The kids played some songs and did some dancing while we talked and had our ONE margarita. On the way out a lady at the bar gave me a very dirty look and said "Girl you need to take those kids to the park." I replied "I'm sorry, they werre at the park all day. Do you have kids? (my tone was snotty, truthfully)" She says "Why yes I do, but they know how to behave!" I leave. I'm pissed. I walk back into the restaurant and say "Listen, I'm really sorry I talked to you so rudely. I just want to let you know that I've had a rough day. I'm exhausted. I'm a single Mom. I just needed a moment talking with my friend and a maragarita. I apologize if I ruined your evening with your friend. I just think we as women should spend more energy supporting each other instead of judging each other. Maybe we should be more helpful and kinder to one another." And this crazy bitch says to me, "I was a single mother too." To which I reply, "Then you should understand." So, she says, "Apology accepted." I walk out equally pissed and teary-eyed. What the Fuck is wrong with people? Now I need another Margarita and possibly a cigarette and maybe a vicodin.

    Margarita is a margarine use for bread filling and other food recipes. In other country it is really hard to find margarita and as kids really love this moms are always willing to find.

    I love it! Hai un occhio creativo e rendere il tutto di mettere insieme lavoro.
