Well, April 29th was my sons birthday. It turned out quite well too and I did not even have to eat my pizza in the bathroom... LOL Why the bathroom you may ask?? Well, Tommaso had decided he was going to invite his whole class to have Pizza in a pizzeria in Guardistallo, a small town near where we live. He told me that when his friends did their birthday parties the moms did not stay.. well, of course they didn't as they lived in this small town and just went home for dinner. If there was an emergency or something all the pizzeria owner had to do was yell out in the street and the moms would come running! LOL.. Now, we live 8 kms from this town so he would not have found me even if he yelled his head off... So I told my son I was staying in the pizzeria for dinner. This was not taken well.... He said I could not be seen... Hmmmm I know I am dangerous but just one look at me will not turn a 12 yr old into stone! I told him I would eat in the other dining room.... He looked at me as if this solution was not good enough.. I said to him "You don't expect me to eat in the bathroom, do you???" He looked at me and I could see he was warming to this idea. I got the idea out of him real fast...

So, to make a long story short... I even managed to bring a friend and she brought her son and I, of course, had Vittoria with me so it turned out to be a very nice evening.
