Adventure

Adventure-A journey you were not expecting to survive (NPR).

My weekend started with a major adventure.  I hosted a birthday party for a 6 y/o little girl at the ice rink.  People RSVP'd and didn't show.  People didn't RSVP and did show.  The first girl showed up twenty minutes after the party started.  The kids that didn't know how to ice skate didn't really like it (with a few exceptions). 

But, if that wasn't enough to make me go grey, I volunteered to help out on the school field trip to the Adventure Science Center.  There is nothing like 80-100 kindergartners ripping through a science museum.  Sure there were two classroom lectures on dinosaurs and the moon, but the rest of the building is like a broken chucky cheese without the pizza.  Half of the "science" stations were broken.  Most of the stations are designed for individual parents to take their time and explain to a child.  In the middle is a huge jungle gym indoor play center thingy.  There are no less than a dozen ways in and out of this thing.  I was in charge of three kids, and I was running to circle around to these entrances so as not to lose the kids. 

The kids did have fun there, but I can't believe I took a sick day to go there and search for a cure to what was ailing me.  Turned out it was overwork and there was no relaxation (the only known cure) to be found.
