Sick

I still have some kind of sinus problem that just isn't going away very fast. It started last Thursday. It may have been from going to two concerts right next to a river and sweating for several hours. The only major downside is that it minorly affected my weekend with my kids.

When my kids come up for the weekend, I like to try to give them as much energy as I can. I had a small headache all weekend and wasn't getting much sleep due to this sinus problem. We were able to catch the movie Sky High, which I do recommend to families, and we watched the iCubs on Sunday. I was able to play a little catch and our own small version of football in the yard. I just wore out really fast. We spent some time watching Wonder Woman and Greatest American Hero, which I'm glad my kids have the good taste to enjoy. I hope to be over this thing soon, but I don't take much medication and I'm not really sure what to really do for it anyway. I get it once or twice a year and it eventually goes away.

The movie Sky High is a fun Disney movie. I'm a superhero nut so this was right up my alley and the kids really wanted to see it. Brittany really wants to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, but I'm just not a fan. I did give them a choice of Sky High or Dukes Of Hazzard. If I'm spending the money, it's gotta be something I will enjoy, too. I don't do cartoons, either. Although, I did take them to see Shrek 2 in a second run theatre.

The iCubs game was their second this year and third overall. We were second row behind the iCubs dugout. They enjoy the games and being that close to the field. Our church had skyboxes that same day, but I don't like sitting that far away from the action. The girls will be going to another game this year. My group at work is having an evening there soon and we also have the signup sheet for the activities they have between innings. I've signed my girls up for a couple of things to make it interesting for them, too. We will have skyboxes that night and it will be catered. Who knows? The girls might get spoiled doing this, though.

Of course, it will be my 6th or 7th time out to the iCubs this year. I've been 5 times and was told I'm going to another this week. I'm not really an iCubs fan, but a fan of the game. There is little that beats a day at the ballpark getting some sun, eating ballpark food, and enjoying the game of baseball. It's a fun experience. I enjoy sharing that with my kids and I hope they come to appreciate it, too.

Next time they come up, I will make it up to them with more energy. My girls are awesome and I'm grateful for the time with them.
