live and learn - that's my motto

and yes, i paid dearly last night for it.

we took the girls to the fair in 50 something degree weather yesterday evening. we had a really good time despite me coughing my head off and still not quite at 100%. the girls were dying for me to go the fair with them. earlier in the week their daddy had taken them as a surprise and now they wanted to me to have as much fun as they did. what sweet girls!

it was fun! i realized one thing that i'm getting too old to ride rides like the "drunken barrels" you find at six flags. we all rode these strawberries which you spin around and around and then the whole entire ride spins again like those barrels. it was probably about half way through the ride, all of a sudden a wave of nausea came over me. i told the girls they had to stop spinning the strawberry and announced to them and kevin i literally thought i was about to get sick on the ride. the girls got all worried and kevin calmed them down with the fact that i had been sick for about a week and i was still trying to get better. personally, i think it was just old age.

i love watching our girls have such a good time at the fair. it brings so much joy to my life to see them laughing, smiling and screaming as they ride such rides as the wacky worm roller coaster, ferris wheel and the giant slide. ah! the longer we were there the more obvious it became to me that i wasn't the perfect of health. in fact i probably wasn't even better, yet. why? because when we got home and i finally got ready for bed, guess what? fever was back...again! like i said live and learn.





and my favorite picture of the evening....you can just see her excitement and hear her little scream, i love it!
