My Labor Day Weekend

Once again this weekend I was reminded why I never want to get married. If Mom and Dad weren't fighting, then Aunt Lori and Uncle Steve were. It was so awful. I felt like shaking all four of them by the shouldres and asking what the hell was wrong with them. "Can't you just get along for three days?" I wanted to yell. The kids were remarkably well-behaved. The adults whined and complained enough for all of them put together.
Other than the constant bickering and whining amongst the "adults" it was a great weekend. We spent all night Saturday at the festival, went back to the hotel and enjoyed the game room and pool. The parents went out at 11 and the kids and I had a great time watching the Disney channel until 3 am. Actually, I put on my headphones to drown out the whiny cartoon voices and wrote in my journal and read a book since the girls insisted on watching the same channel in both rooms. It was actually kind of peaceful.
Sunday we went shopping at Max 10. I didn't buy anything for myself but I totally should have. We spent about an hour at the beach since it was too chilly to spend all day and went to the festival. Aunt Lori and I went on all the rides (all three of them, twice. The festival wasn't very big this year). Then we ate some delicious and fattening festival food and headed back to the room for another night of swimming and games of pool. I suck at billiards, by the way.
Yesterday was the best day. We spent all day on the beach after eating at IHOP. There was a really cool band playing on the boardwalk and I got some pictures of the hot drummer. Dad said I should go for drummers as opposed to guitar players, for some reason. He would know, I guess. He used to drum and play guitar. The guitarist was old, anyway, but he sure did jam.
It was really hot yesterday, so the water was wonderful. I spent just about the whole time in the water (when I wasn't drooling over the drummer, that is. He was giving me just as much attnetion as I was giving him, by the way. Even Aunt Lori said so) with Chayse. It was great. Then I had the girls bury me in sand. That was fun. I'd never done that before. I had Emma ttake pictures for me.
You know what I love? I love getting out of the water and not brushing my hair and just having beach hair all day. I feel better after a day at the beach than I ever feel. It was great. We went on some more rides and I won Hannah a $10 dolphin at the dart-throwing thing. It was a nice weekend. I wish festivals lasted longer than just three days. It would be so awesome to spend a whole week there.
