but I miss ol' flat 'n lumpy!!!!

This has been a really nice stay....even though the boy has had repeated meltdowns today...especially at the zoo!! ugh...
My body was too sore after last night's sleep though...apparently my body has become accustomed to the fat and lumpy mattress that's...hmmm, 6 years old? Paid $400 for it...and it's pretty much crap now...but it's my crap!! and my body has molded it to the lumps and sink-holes it wants. These newer mattresses . . . like the one my bro has...that's like a soft firm...UUUUUGH...i wake up so horribly sore!!!! It's so sad!

We hit the zoo today. packed us a nice lil sack lunch.
Just got back from The Rainforest Cafe about an hour or so ago. racked up on a buncha lil stuffs for the wee one. It's just a lil loud and kinda scary for toddlers though!! the animatronics (hanging anaconda sized snakes, gorillas, waterfalls, fake thunderstorms...) .. my son wasn't the only one that kept having little freakouts.

It's pretty dang cool here in Chicago for the middle of July. I think the reality of the cooldown hit me most cuz i didn't bring a jacket or sweatshirt... didn't think I'd need to so bad even though I knew the forecast (which added rain last night!) plus that would be one extra thing to carry and getting here Thursday...I would have melted having it on or stuffing it in bag or carrying it on my arm.

Did a good amount of walking today. a lil gassy from the milk...not sure why it's affecting me grosslike today. usually it takes me having a dairy blowout for the symptoms of lactose intolerance to kick in. Didn't wanna wait today....WOOOOO!!!

Hopefully I won't blow either of them outta the bed tonight!! HEH!

I'll weigh in tomorrow. I'm stuffed right now. Probably need to run around the block a couple of times!

My sis is trippin' on the fact that we've got cable in the room but we've watched local channels like we were at home! HA!! With the illegal posting of movies on Youtube I'm set! hahaha sorry. had a lil moment there.


THIS BOY!!

I have to remember to change my reservation for the end of August since the VBS dates at church seemed to have changed and they're now that same week. I hope I can get the same weekend at that hotel which is the one I originally wanted but this one rocked so if I have to come back to this one it won't be horrible.

Blessings and toodles.
