It has been forever

I can't believe I have taken so long to post anything here. I have had a busy couple of weeks. Let's see...
Brenna got better then Nathan got sick.
I stayed well but tired.
More laundry.
4 doctor appointments (none of which were in Karnes City)
A birthday party
4 great books
Did I say more laundry?
At least that gives you an overview.

I do have one funny story to share. Brenna and I went to SA for a doctor's appointment. It happened to be Tanner's birthday that day and Liz said he could choose were we went to eat. McDonald's it was. Yuck!

If you know me at all, you know that my sense of direction is severely lacking in accuracy. In fact I tell most people that I am great at u-turns and stopping to ask for directions. I remember driving to Houston from Austin one time when I was in high school. My parents must have thought I needed a companion and so Amy came with me. I'm not sure she was the wisest choice if they wanted a companion to pick up where my sense of direction fell away. Needless to say, we missed a turn and ended up driving through Lockhart to get to I-10. I think we made a 5 hour drive out of what should have been 3 hours. (I did stop to ask for direction, but it was a little too late. We were almost to 10 at that point.)

So, back to Mickey D's. There is a huge indoor playground at the MD's on DeZavala in SA. Brenna and Tanner went running up to go through all the curves and slides. They came down another side several times before we made them sit down to eat. They were both having a great time playing together. After they ate, they went through one more time and then Tanner had to take a break to go potty. Brenna went up alone. That was her first mistake. Shortly after she went up, I heard her calling for me. I looked up at the maze of tubes trying to see where she might be, but to no avail. I tried talking to her at the end of one of the slides, but she couldn't make any progress. Finally another man asked his son to go help the poor, pitiful child find her way down. I was giggling to myself all the while. I could hear the boy saying, "Hey little girl, come this way." She wouldn't budge and just kept crying. I guess she took the "don't talk to strangers" lesson to heart. I eventually had to go rescue my child from the labyrinth. I must admit that it was crowded in that little tube and I could see how she would get lost. I only hope that she will learn from me and ask for directions in the future. If not, I can see Nathan and I on many rescue missions.
