We had a change of plans yesterday, after giving David a bath Michelle P. called and David and I met the Paton's at Wild River Country. It's a water park that's just about 5 mins up the road from our house. We bought season passes at the end of last year thinking we would take David this summer and we pretty much have almost every weekend; he loves the water and being outside.
It was a little overcast today but nice, I don't think it was over 85 and it wasn't crowded at all at the water park. When we first got there Steve watched David and Michelle, Samantha and I went headed over to the slides! Samantha loves going down the slides and she is fun to watch (she is just 4 years old and as tiny as can be). Then we headed over to pick up David, who was by now playing in the water with Uncle Steve, and we took him over to the "baby" slide. It's a short slide for kids under 60" that parents can go down with the kids in a double inter-tube. I had put one of the life jackets on him you get from the park and went down and he fussed (he cannot stand them as they ride up on him and practically cover his face). So the 2nd time I took it off (he's already had some swim lessons) and we went down and he was laughing! But the 3rd time he had had enough and didn't like it anymore, so we just went and played in the water until it started to rain on us and we left. All in all it was fun.
Anthony still has his head cold so he stayed home and rested, did some house work. Then he cooked a nice steak dinner - it was very yummy!
It's 230 am and I cannot sleep again! I go through bursts of insomnia and will have 2-3 days where I just cannot sleep at night. It sucks but at least I'm not tired during the day, I still have the same amount of energy as if I had slept. I'm also breaking out in welts from my allergies so I need to go and get more medicine when the Walgreen's opens up today. It's funny how I lived in AZ for so long and didn't really have much of an allergy problem there and in the past year they have gone crazy here. I'll wake up with huge welts on my legs or my face will be all swollen like I had gotten into a fight the night before. So bad some times that I cannot go to work!! Once I woke up and it looked like I had had a bad collagen injection in my lips - that was actually funny. It took about 4 hours for that to go down after taking some meds the doctor gave me.
I can hear David coughing so I'm going to go check on him.......
