My parents are out of town this weekend. On Friday my dad told me that he had tickets to the Iowa Speedway race tracks. Though I am not a fan of racing normally, i thought this would be a good weekend adventure and phil vasser was playing a concernt post race. So, we went. Rudy, myself and vaughn-elise. A first for all three of us. There was probably over 50,000 people there and we had to walk a good mile to get to the entrance from where we were directed to park, with a huge diaper bag and vaughn we kept switching on and off...both our backs were killing us and i thought my legs were going to snap. I am very out of shape! and it was all on uneven gravel, pot holes etc....yuck. Luckily on the way back some lady in a golf cart must have seen me limping and carying Vaughn. Rudy went ahead to get the car and VE and I were taking our sweet time...though still struggling. She stopped and asked if i wanted a ride back to the car and couldnt beleive how far out we had to park.
Rudy counted 6 mullets and 2 buttcracks in the first hour or so...he said "now thats how you know your at a race!" too funny! We were definelty some of the only few dressed "normally" without all the racewear. But it was fun! We both picked our cars we thought would win, his came in 12th, mine was out after the first 50 laps...not sure what happened. We stopped on the way and bought us all earplugs- including baby ones for Vaughn. Thank God we did that! It was very loud...but it was funny because everytime we wanted to talk to each other we had to take them out! Vaughn stayed up til around 11:30. I thought with the earplugs she would fall asleep when it got dark, unbenounced to me, its not like the figure 8 races where its dark in the stands...there were like spot lights on everyone! It was super bright. We only stayed for 2 songs during the concert because it was really late and she was starting to show signs of needing to lay flat. Me too! I am never up that late so I was pooped~ it was good to get home and lay flat.
before that, my friend deena and i had a pampered chef /lia sophia party. we have been planning it for quite a while now and invited around 60 people.....only 5 showed up!!!!! We were both super bummed by the low turnout. We were hoping that we could get some shows booked from this party and really get our "buisnesses" up and going again. Bummer. its hard with the way things are right now- no one has money! We had hoped at least 15-20 would show up out of the 60 invited....WRONG!
Today I woke up feeling like I had been hit by a truck. No joke. My throat feels raw, my body aches, i think i have a low grade fever, sinus cavities feel swollen, sneezy and wheezy!! NO FUN! This is my absolute favorite time of year- yet I always get sick !! Grrr...makes me feel jipped on my weekend. I wish tomorrow was not monday. We are still not sure what we are going to do about VE finding another sitter. I am starting to worry about it alot. I just want her to go somewhere I feel she is safe and loved and is learning and its my biggest fear that she will be punished, yelled at, spanked, ignored etc. I just worry about it all the time. Its stupid for me to even entertain the idea of being a stay at home mom because there is just no possible way at this point.
O.k....vaughn is suffering from her lack of sleep last night and thus, so am i...must go tend to the grouch!
