Teacups

It had been forever since I had been on the teacups and Emma convinced me we should go on them. She could not however convince dad that it was a good idea, so he was our photographer and documented the whole experience.

We very carefully selected which teacup we should ride in so I would like to draw your attention to the spade with the blue and gold. It was high class.

Getting up speed and Emma getting scared!

Spinning! Look at Emma's hair fly! Okay, that is deceiving. We actually spun as little as was possible, but we can pretend.

Crazy happy girls.

We finished up with some serious conversation. Probably discussing which color of dumbo we were going to ride after this. (We chose green.)

I'm so sick and tired of being sick and tired

I've been annoyed at the world today. Right now, I blame the fact that this is my fourth (or eighth, depends what counts) sickness of the year, the fact that I haven't been able to breath out of my nose for almost 3 days, haven't been able to stand up without getting dizzy for 2 days, haven't been able to leave my house (except for 3 tiny excursions I deemed necessary for my sanity), and now feeling like my throat is on fire every time I swallow.

Keeping me cooped up with only my thoughts for 2 days could be dangerous. I am definitely in need of some awesome tennis or a good hard run. (Those are out of the question until I recover!) This was sure a way to get me to slow down. I resisted (am still resisting) but I am now facing some of those things I have feared thinking about. Heavenly Father knows what's best.

World, I am sorry for the unwarranted annoyance. I will try to make it up to you in the future.
