I'm Tired

Oh my, I'm so tired. What a weekend it has been. So Friday night I was supposed to work all night and come to find out I can ask to be put on the list to go home or I don't get paid and it becomes a day I have to make up. But I did sort of mention it anyways while making it clear that I would only go if it was mandatory and therefore I would get paid. I went to work, worked until 11pm and they offered to let me go. So it was actually about 12 before I got home after I did report and all. I caught an extra 3 hours of sleep at home before getting up and heading for L*A. I met BFF R and her daughter at the hotel and after a quick trip to Tar*get we were off to Disney*land. Of course the weather here has picked up and it's hot. Hotter than I like. But we had a great day. By the end of the day I was so tired and sore I could hardly move but it was so much fun. I even rode space*m0untain and the only other time I had rode that it scared the pants off me. Still didn't do a lot for me, I swore through the whole ride. It wasn't as horrible as I remember though. Just dark and I dislike not being able to see where I'm going. Of course I also caused a bit of a ruckus too. We were standing in line and had been for about 20-30 minutes and these kids, about 8 of them came up right as we were almost to the front of the line, climbed under the chain and hopped in line ahead of us. I asked R if they had just cut in front of us and she said no, I think they are with those people ahead of us. But they never talked to the people ahead of us and the people ahead of us never talked to them. So they let them go and I mentioned to the guy at the desk thing admitting us that those kids had just cut in front of us. His response was "and you let them?" Well I haven't had nearly enough hormones lately to pull out the old bitch shoes and take on 8 teenagers by myself and no one else was stepping in either. So he holds up the line outside until they can get these kids inside and remove them from the ride. Basically another 5-10 minutes. So the people outside are getting pissed now that he won't let anyone in. One lady was saying why not just let them go instead of holding all of us up. Hello, the principle of the matter. He explained that they couldn't do that and he would let us go shortly. When they did let us go, the people who had been ahead of us were still in line waiting so it's not like we had to wait any longer, it just seemed like it for a while. Anyways, they escorted the kids out. And I lived through the ride. R's daughter had tons of fun. The last time she had been to DL was when she was 5 and she didn't remember a lot so much of this was new. We got to do splash*m0untain as it wasn't December this time and it was warm enough that getting wet sounded pretty good. Overall a fantastic day. I did end up with a horrible rash on my legs I think from the sun. I had sunblock on and didn't get burned but my legs are so broke out it's making me a bit nutty itching. I used to get this all the time from being in the sun and for a long time I've mostly avoided being out in the sun and haven't had the rash this bad in a long time, hopefully it goes away soon.
Today we did Cal*f0rnia Adventure park and it was fantastic too. Today was warmer though and I felt so wiped out for quite a while. Finally I went and rented one of those electric carts and that helped so much. I had sore spots on my feet from my shoes rubbing and was so sore from yesterday that the cart was a life saver. I just rode it around and then parked it to go get in line for a ride. The only downside of the weekend has been just feeling over stimulated by babies and pregnant women. There were sooooo many of both. Saturday it didn't bother me as much and I loved looking at them and "oh they're so cute" etc but by today it was getting harder. At one point I was sitting on a bench in the shade while R and J watched the High*sc00l musical parade/play thing and I had a pregnant lady on one side and a pregnant lady with a little girl of about 2 on the other side with her other kid who was like 4 and her friend who had a baby girl of about 6 months old and a couple of other small kids and it was all I could do to keep it together. I was sitting there with tears running down my face so glad I had sun glasses on and it was hot so they would think I was just sweating. It just feels so damn far away. And it's annoying that a week or two ago the idea of waiting a couple more months was no big deal and now it's making me crazy. The rest of the day I avoided babies a bit more. I also caught myself at one point watching a young girl (17-18) with a new baby and started feeling like why her. Then of course stopped and reminded myself or remembered that it's not why her, I don't begrudge her of having a baby, it's why not me.
So tomorrow R has to work and J and I will I think sort of hang around and chill a bit. For one thing I am definitely sleeping in. Then in the afternoon we may meet R and go to the La*Brea*Tar*pits. I think there is a museum there I would like to go into. On Tuesday J and I will go into H0llyw00d and maybe do the walk of fame thing etc. J is hoping so hard that she will run into Han*nah M0ntana and I'm hoping I'll run into her dad. I know, wishful thinking.
