Brandie in Real Life Day 2

Ok so the speakers on my laptop just decided to blare out an Aerosmith song. Kids still asleep. crisis averted. It is now 12:45, still not tired.
Day 2. The kids requested some time at Chuck e Cheese before checking into the hotel so off we went, Emetrol in hand. They had $40 worth of fun and after a few crappy trinkets they were satisfied. We go to check into the hotel and I am informed that the pool is closed. What? You have to be kidding me right chubby red-headed boy posing as a concierge. That was my savior for hours and hours of effort free entertainment! I wanted to jump over that counter and lock him in a room with children for 3 days. I told him I would ask the kids what they think and let him know the verdict. They were tired of being in the car (it had been a whole 10 minutes) and wanted to stay. Their decision. (ps. dog is currently crying in her sleep) After about 2 hours of exhausting every toy they had brought along they were bored. Me too. We decided to move our day 3 activity up to day 2 and catch a movie. We went to dinner first (of course the place I had planned to go was closed. Who closes a restaurant on New Years Day?) We then went to see Bedtime Stories with Adam Sandler. Normally a filthy mouth but somehow he reigned it in for the Disney bucks. Their favorite part was when the dwarf kicks Sandler. Go figure. None of the message hit home. We were back to hotel by 9 pm. bedtime. Here I sit trying not to wake my little princes with my typing. If you have any bright ideas to get me through the next 2 days comment them my way. I am running out myself. Must try to catch a few hours of sleep.

That's spooky sis. I thought of those 2 exact things. My med of choice was Benadryl though. Nyquil wears off too fast.
