Not so Great Wolf Lodge

Well, y'all did not pray hard enough for me. The kids would say they had a great weekend at the Great Wolf Lodge, but let me tell you, its ending was not great. It was the opposite of great: Shitty. You'll understand shortly.

This weekend, we all shared one room at the Lodge. Ironically, our next door neighbors and across the street neighbors also came to the Lodge. We spent a tiny amount of time with them, but they were the real MVPs this weekend. Because the kids and l shared the same room, I kept the same sleep schedule as the kiddos and let me tell you, that was amazing. Asleep at 8:30 pm and up at 6:30 am? No problem. 2.5 hour nap in the middle of the day? Sure thing. Asleep at 9pm and up at 7am? Would have been awesome if my GI system didn't go beserk at 2:30am. I woke up to horrific diarrhea, eventually started vomiting, and ended up calling on my neighbors to watch my kids so I could run to the pharmacy. My mom and Nasur ended up driving down to Colorado Springs so they could drive me and the kids back. My watched logged my whole morning as a high stress event and recommended I relax. Yes, relax. That would have been awesome. So, anyway, it was shitty. Mostly because the end of our trip ended so, so poorly. Solo parenting is hard at baseline and events like that make it feel like you can never quite get ahead. But, it also helps when you have awesome folks in your life to call on that will drop everything to help.

So, for today's food photo:
I've had 6 of these today

I actually got all my food photos taken today, lol! For this week's challenge, I'm going to try again to do food photos.







Here's hoping the diarrhea and vomiting will at least result in a net loss come this Weigh-in Wednesday!
