I was not feeling well at all today. I'm suffering from pain and stiffness from head to toe right now. I did not want to get out of bed but the kids were ready for their day of summer fun so, of course, mom had to overcome and deliver.
It was steaming hot today (can you believe a heat index over 100) and we got a late start but made a go of it anyway. Today we chose to visit this super-sized playground that we haven't been to in awhile. It was one of those community donated/built projects and a really fun place to play hide and seek or chase. *I* just sat in the shade in my folding chair I am never without (those hard benches are not easy for me these days). I love the huge oak trees that grow abundantly in that park. They make the heat so much more bearable. The kids ran and played. Visited the water fountain. Played and Ran. Visited the water fountain. Rested in the shade. Visited the water fountain. Walked and played. Rested in the shade.
We spent probably about 1.5 hours there before the kids couldn't stand the heat anymore and were just hanging out in the shade with me so we left and stopped by Sonic for some slushies. Then we drove over to the nearby mall to walk in the nice cool air for awhile. The kids were laughing at the back of my shirt being soaked and plastered to my back. Walking in the nice cool air was such a relief. We bought a couple of used PS2 games for the boys and some cute tshirts for school in the fall. We are such the big spenders. he he The kids begged to go see another movie but, gosh, we just did that last week! We did meet James for dinner at Jason's Deli before heading for home. The kids were pretty tired by then so I guess we did ok.
I'm thinking what we will do next week....I'd like to find something in Houston or Conroe to go do one week with my sil. Hmmm, I need to give her a call....
