Today was my son’s 8th birthday. We decided to take a few of his friends with us to an amusement/water park to celebrate. I had been really looking forward to this, with all my competition prep…there hasn’t been many family outings. So, I went all out as a mom the past few days. It’s been alot of fun just doing all the party preparation. I woke up this morning and was raring to go. I packed all the towels, snacks, juice boxes etc. I made the kids breakfast and put on their sunblock. I decorated the table for when we returned home to have birthday cake. I wrapped my son’s presents. We arrived at the park and had a blast ! A few hours later…I started to feel " weird,weak,needing to eat…etc". I realized I had not brought ONE thing for me to eat. This is the first time in SO long I have done that. I looked around and there were nothing but fast food meals. OH NO!! What do I do? I didn’t eat for awhile. My husband bought a bucket of FRIED chicken tenders and asked me to please have some. Oh geez, I can’t remember the last time I ate anything like that. I did eat…..I still cannot believe I didn’t even think to bring my food with me. After we ate and went back to the water slide, I looked down at my skin…getting all burnt. It was 85 degrees I believe. I FORGOT to put sunblock on!  Needless to say, I am looking much like a lobster as I type this….ha ha.

This is the kind of day I needed. Just a mom……I am always trying to improve. For just one day, I completely forgot about myself…..and it felt good.
