Neices/Nephew = Birth Control

I always knew at 21 that there was a reason that I didn't have kids yet. It's my neices and nephew. Just after one day with them I'm SO exhausted.

I really did have a lot of fun yesterday, considering. I woke up at around 8-ish and talked with my parents for a while. Then they left, so I got ready and left for the Boone's house. I get over there and as soon as I did all three kids were high-tailing it out to my car to greet me with huge hugs. My nephew tried to tackle me again like he did last time I went over to the Boone's house. (They have a gravel driveway - it's relatively painful.) He didn't succeed this time! Muahahaha.

After we hung out for a while, we decided to head out to MOSH. We got lost on the way there. You'd think after almost 13 years of living in Jacksonville that I might possibly know where I'm going...but no. I got lost in Downtown like always. (At least I didn't end up in Georgia this time! I've done that twice.) When we finally got to MOSH, we went inside.

The kids were afraid of the dinosaurs at first, but eventually warmed up to them. Apparently, MOSH doesn't believe in turning on the AC, so it was rediculously hot inside there. Then we go outside when we're leaving, and of course, it's hot out there and in my car. We weren't on the road too long before we decided to stop to get lunch since we hadn't eaten all day.

I must've been overheated because I couldn't cool off no matter what I did. I suspect it has something to do with the fact that Gini lost my hair tie, because my hair was all over my neck just making me hotter. Well...a couple of bites of my burger, and a few sips of my Coke later and WHAM - I went and talked to cousin Lurch. Not fun. Oh yeah, especially after Willie headbutted me earlier and broke my glasses.

When we finally got home, I pretty much changed and then headed to Sara's. I got my Guitar Hero fix. FINALLY. I literally played through like 5 or 6 entire sets of songs...that's between 25-30 songs last night. Needless to say, my carpel tunnel has flaired back up. Who wouldda guessed?

After I couldn't feel my hands anymore, Sara finished watching Pride and Predjuice, and I decided to pick a movie that I wanted to watch. We decided to watch Mary Poppins. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT I FORGOT HOW MUCH I LOVE THAT MOVIE. I haven't watched that movie since I was old enough to understand it and just WOW. I absolutely adore that movie and the soundtrack is to die for. That soundtrack'll probably be my newest iTunes download here soon.

Today was a day of recovery. I got home from Sara's at about 10:00 this morning. I created a new Sims family, and started building the house but then got REALLY tired so I decided to take a nap at about 1:00. I woke up around 5:00 and then decided to go back to bed. My Mom finally came woke me up at 6:40. Those kids wore me out more than I thought. And my knees...or at least the muscle right above my knees is SOO sore. I know that's from squatting down to pick up the kids, or to get eye level with them.

I have a habit of kneeling down to talk to kids because I think that whether it's a kid or an adult, you should look somebody in the eyes when you're talking to them. But that's just me.

Anyways, here's a picture slideshow of the best pictures I have from yesterday. Enjoy.
