What's a Single Parent to Do?

Gage and I ran errands last night and at his request we went to Applebee's for dinner. After we placed our order, he needed to go to the restroom. I couldn't leave my purse behind with no one at the table so I just expected our server to know that we were still there. Afterall, we had just ordered. When we returned, our table had been cleared, cleaned, and was being given to other customers. I couldn't believe it! It can't be uncommon for children to eat out with only one parent...
