I had a really awesome weekend. Friday night I spent it with the kids and hubby and got my stuff ready to go for the float trip. Saturday morning I was up and around early and we left for our foat trip at 8. Nothing like a bunch of women on a float trip!!! It was down in Steeleville which is about 2 hours from here. Our trip was scheduled for 10 but being that there were 9 women we were late :o) We ended up leaving about 11 for a 10 mile float down the Meramec River. The people at the resort told us it would take us 4-5 hours max. It took us 8 hours to complete the trip! Problaby did not help that no one was paddling and we were not paying attention to the river and got stuck a few times since the water was low. But whatever, the most important part was we had a great time. It was also an impromptu bacholerette party for Stacy who is headed to Hawaii for a week and plans on getting married while down there. We really had an awesome time just BSing and being women. We had a 5 gallon water cooler full of jungle punch, a 2 gallon cooler full of Margaritas, 75 jell-o shots, a cooler full of beer and other alchohol and 2 coolers full of food and snacks. What more could a woman want???? :o) Overall we were a bunch of happy women!!! By the time we got back the places were closed for food and we were supposed to stay the night in a bunk house. Most of us were pretty hungry and decided that we had had our fill of fun and wanted food so we decided to leave rather than stay the night. A couple of the single women met some guys while we were floating and decided to stay behind and do karoake at the resort and stay the night down there. The rest of us left and headed home. We stopped at Steak-N-Shake had some dinner and got home about midnight. It was nice to be home in my own bed and with my family. :o) I took pictures of the trip, just not sure WHERE the cameras ended up. I am sure that some of the other ladies have them and we will end up with the pictures at some point.
Sunday was my baby boys 4th birthday and we made the day about him. We decided to hold off his birthday party til next weekend and just spend the day with him. We took him to Build A Bear and he got his bear with the batman costume and also got a fireman outfit for his bear. I also got a Pooh Bear that they just came out with! Then we took the kids to see the new Pirates movie. It was a good movie, left with a cliffhanger, which sucks, but it will make you want to see the new one once it gets done. My baby boy fell asleep about half way through the movie and the others really enjoyed it. After all that we went to my grandma's to visit with her for a while. Since it is our normal routine to spend Sunday night with her. Overall it was a busy but fun weekend.
Today I called my daughters doctor and got some names of pediatric neurologists. We decided that her living with these headaches is enough and they are not getting any better, but seem to be getting worse. She was in a lot of pain yesterday and because she is on this medicine we cannot give her any Motrin or Tylenol to help with the pain and she has to live through it. She has been on the medicine for almost a week and nothing is helping. So I am sure that the doctor thinks I am a pain in the butt, but at this point I only care about making my daughter better and will do what it takes to make that happen. So I got some names of doctors and have an appt for her for tomorrow. So hopefully we will soon have answers and can get our daughter back to normal.
