Worst Part of the Day - Didn't get on the water until late today and then it was all rush, rush because we are heading to a concert tonight.  Felt like I was in a sprint.  Not super relaxing.

Best Part of the Day - Took a party bus from our neighborhood with 20 friends to the Night Ranger, Foreigner, Journey concert.  Twas a blur of Raspberry Skyy Vodka, 80's songs, photo flashes, odd/funny conversations, pervert neighborman, and fun, fun, FUN.  I don't know that I had one lull of conversation or laughter for the entire evening.  Felt college-y.  Got home around 12:30 and had to put myself right to bed.

Best Part of the Day - Completed another spin class which is my new obsession (yes, yes I know I'm about five (more?) years behind the times.)  Hanging at the pool with Erik and the boys - good to let the boys get some energy out.

Worst Part of the Day - Kiddos driving me CRAZY!  Mucho drama and I don't wanna (deal with it.)

Best Part of the Day - Another (!) trip to Carowinds (the local amusement park).  Erik and I took turns riding the bigger roller coasters.  The Intimidator is SOOO fun - huge drop and 75 mph speeds.  Whoa.  Not very crowded, so kiddos got to ride lots of rides without much of a wait.  But Mama was CaroWINDED by the end - really to head home.

Worst Part of the Day - Felt REALLY crappy after the amusement park trip ... heat?  Roller Coaster too much?  Not enough to drink?  Getting sick?  Felt just yuck for the entire afternoon and night.

Best Part of the Day - Successful well visit for Quinn (plus got all documentation ready for Kindergarten).  Then the boys and I went a friend's Country Club pool.  Ahhh - I do love being served portabella mushroom sandwich on an outdoor patio.  Refrained from the Margaritas though - which is odd.

Worst Part of the Day - Excellent vibe of the household is not so excellent today.  Perspective please.

Best Part of the Day - Stayed and stayed and stayed at the Children's Museum here in town.  Children thoroughly entertained and I chatted with some pals I haven't seen much of this summer.

Worst Part of the Day - There is lots o brother on brother hate going on.  Lots of hitting and crying and tattling and whining and it drive me up a TREE.  Can't take it.

Best Part of the Day - Successful Carowinds (local amusement park) trip with Erik and the boys.  We got Erik his Season Pass (finally.  And a good thing - it was the last day to register for the Season Pass.)  Went on roller coasters and swing rides and scramblers.  Erik and I even got to sneak in one big roller coaster as there was no line.  Home around 4 p.m.

Worst Part of the Day - You would think two kiddos at an amusement park would be amused the entire time.  Too much complaining and grumbling for my liking.
Also had to teach tonight and all I really wanted to do was take a big, long nap.

Best Part of the Day - Got a workout and a grocery shop in with both boys.  Then home for popsicle eating and scooter riding.

Worst Part of the Day - SO Quinn has not even started school and already I'm on about three committees ... think that is not going to work for me.  Must back off.

Record?  By 7:20 a.m. Wes had already broken his swim trophy.  Possible record?
