My sinuses have been driving me crazy. I wonder if I've got a sinus infection.
Last Friday we took the kids to Schlitterbahn. Great place! Lots of water rides we could all go on. The park isn't one great big park, it's split into three sections. We started off by just doing a little raft ride that went around in a loop, just to get our feet wet. Then we started riding things.
I lost my SU hat on the Backsplash. I thought I had it tightly interwoven with my hair thingy and my sunglass strap, but apprently I didn't. Result in - hat lost and not turned in. We got kinda bored over there though, so we took the tram to the other half of the park. Lots of tube chute rides, and others just lazing about. We waited in line for about an hour for one that twisted and turned down a hill. At one point my foot caught the bottom and I was popped out of my tube. Oops. [However, I did notice that no one pointed and laughed, the waiting line was right there. That would have been SOP back east.] The tubes got stuck in one portion at one point. We'd gone down as Jerry holding onto Audrey's tube, then mikey, then me. I started out holding mikey's tube, but soon into the ride mikey said "mommy let go!" so off he went.
The bottom let out into a pool area. [The ride and pool were fed by the Comal River.] So we spent some time splashing around in the pool for a bit, then had lunch. Mikey took a solo trip down a body tube, then we took what was supposed to be a 45 minute "ride". It was half meandering, half fast, and had a "fork". Left fork was a chute that dumped you out into the Comal River. Right fork let you into a circular "river" thing to float around. We took the right fork and floated around it a couple times.
At that point, it was after 4, and my headache wasn't letting up. Jer went to return the kiddie tubes and I watched the kids while they splashed around in a kids pool for a bit. Time to go home, sleep off the migraine, then go to BT. And to find out just how bad my sunburn was.
HOLY SHIT. Instead of putting the sunscreen on my boobs myself (I walked around in just my bathing suit all day), I let Jerry do it. What self-respecting guy wouldn't enjoy massaging his wife's boobs? He skimped. My boobs were a bright red, as was a good portion of my shoulders and back. I actually had finger marks on the back of my biceps where I'd tried to put on sunscreen. That skin was white. Surrounded by red. Ouch. I spent a few days where I couldn't wear a bra b/c that stuff hurt. It's better now, and my nose is peeling... Audrey has a little peely nose too!
But Schlitterbahn is probably somewhere we'd go back to again. I've got photos, but they are on a waterproof film camera, and I need to finish it off and get it developed.
Doing the WiiFit is doing well. Jerry and I have this bit of competition going on. I get high scores and he tries to beat them. :)
This weekend I'm hoping to get my hair cut, get all the dead ends and stuff off, and then dying it this dark red I found. Got a lot planned for this weekend though (cleaning stuff *sigh*), so I don't know if I'll get around to it.
My HS class is having a 15 yr reunion this fall. Maybe I can fly back east for it and combine it with going to SU's 150th Homecoming Weekend the weekend before. Take Audrey with me and spend time with my parents. Hmm.
Oh yes. This note is for one person. I know you're reading my blog. Like you say, I am intelligent. The only thing I have to suggest is that perhaps you should have read it last year, instead of this year.
Ok, time to find my shoes and get ready to pick Mikey up from summer school.
