Here are a few things you need to know:
1. I am NOT wearing a sweatband in that picture from yesterday. It’s a turquoise bracelet that I bought from Charming Charlie’s.
However, the subject of sweatbands always makes me think of waterparks because my daddy used to take us to Schlitterbahn every summer and wore sweatbands around his elbows to prevent the chafing that comes with rowing around in an innertube all day long.
We were as horrified by this as you might imagine.
2. Speaking of waterparks, we are at The Great Wolf Lodge right now, which is a huge indoor waterpark. AJ won a raffle for a one night’s stay and decided to use it when we were in town with the kids. We surprised them with it yesterday and they all agreed it was better than riding public transit.
3. Our room has an actual log cabin with bunk beds for the kids. It also has a queen size bed and the most uncomfortable sleeper sofa in the history of uncomfortable sleeper sofas. I feel like that’s a bold proclamation, but this thing is literally like some springs wrapped in sheet.
4. So we called the front desk to complain and were told that’s just the way it is with sleeper sofas. And AJ replied, “Then you shouldn’t bill it as an actual bed that people can sleep on”. Ultimately they brought us an enormous air mattress.
AJ asked them to blow it up in the hallway because the kids are already passed out and we were afraid it wasn’t going to fit through the door.
5. I ate three Taco Supremes from Taco Bell for dinner last night. Apparently the college student who lives inside me was dying to get out.
6. It’s hard to take pictures at a waterpark. All I have from yesterday are these two:
7. Sleeper sofa bed notwithstanding, this place is really cool.
8. I’m exhausted.
9. I may not even need my melatonin to sleep tonight.
10. But I’m going to take it anyway because an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of insomnia.
