Well today was a good day! I started off with a nightmare about returning to work. Basically, the kids came back on the same day as my first day back & I had 0 time to set up my classroom! (These are the WIERD things teachers have nightmares about!) I had to scramble to get things CLEAN (dusty) and organized enough for the kids…I was wearing jeans & sneakers…and not my pretty NEW outfit…I was SO bummed/stressed/upset/tired/sad about it. It woke me up WAY early & I couldn’t go back to sleep.
Tim slept in & then we spent the entire morning & early afternoon bumming on our computers & in bed. I reheated last nights left overs for lunch & then we got moving. Around 3ish we got to Busch Gardens. I think we rode like 3 things while we were there. We met up with Tim’s parents & sister. We had a snack in Italy & then dinner in Italy too! I got a HUGE cotton candy (like a foot and a half square!) for $4. I swear that’s the only thing in the park where you get what you pay for.
Around 8:30 we decided to leave the park, so we trekked back to “Bavaria” which is where we parked (yes the auxilliary to the auxilliary!) and headed homeward. We decided to go see a movie so our first stop was Cinema Cafe. Nothing good was playing there, so we headed to Regal Cinemas. It was 9:30, and Wall-E was scheduled to play at 9:25. The clerk said it hadn’t started yet & only 13 people bought tickets so we jumped in!
I was disapointed. I LOVE the premise of the movie (basically TRASH killed Earth & all the humans have been living in outer space for 700 years on a spaceship. They have gotten fat & lazy. Then they realize that there’s life on Earth & head back to make a better world.) BUT, it was seriously lacking. I am not even sure we’ll BUY this one. This is major–our DOG’s name is WAZOWSKI. As in, Mike from Monster’s Inc. We generally love all things Pixar/Disney. We were pretty psyched about this movie & it flopped pretty big time for us. I do not recommend you spend the money to see it in theaters. Wait for the video!
Next up. Tim and I are going to start looking into the “Get Paid to Drive” gimmicks going on. I would totally advertise for someone else for free gas + cash each month! If you know anything about it, please post & let me know! Thanks!
Well, I think we’re off to bed!

Oh, I’m having flashbacks. I ALWAYS had those nightmares when I was teaching. Aren’t they horrible????
Have a fantastic Monday!

Bummer about Wall-e! I was really looking forward to it! We probably never would’ve seen it i the theaters though, so that’s all right. I can’t believe it was such a huge downer! Sorry!
Sounds like you guys are having fun though!

OMG…I’m making my way there RIGHT now to get some cotton candy…it’s the one thing I look forward to at theme parks/carnivals/concerts.
It sounds like you had fun. Sorry Wall-E was a flop for ya. I’m waiting for a rental, myself.
