Point of no return

We Schmidts are having a great vacation here in the Dells. Wisconsin really is a pretty state especially if you like beer and cheese (as DLS says). We went to town yesterday and went on a Jet Duck Boat ride down the Wisconsin River, all of us got soaked especially the home office. The kids (including our niece ZE) have swam non-stop, in fact they are at the pool again after a full day at Noah's Ark water park.

I think I aged about twenty years in ten seconds today. AE decided she wanted to go down the Point of No Return with Uncle Dave, it is a drop slide where you are supposed to cross your arms on your chest, lay on your back and slide down. We watched at least 50 people drop doing it the "right" way until AE's turn. Always having to be different she got scared, didn't cross anything and did the drop sitting up. I thought I was going to throw up. Everyone went "OH" when she started down and held their breath. She was fine thank God, but scared. JG's favorite was the SpongeBob Square Pants 4-D movie, very fun.

It is our 13th anniversary today, but DLS and I are too pooped to go out on the town, so think we will call it an early night. I have the sneaking suspicion I will be even too tired to dream which for tonight is a good thing because I would be reliving AE's Point of No Return over and over and over...

Six weeks

I am sidelined for at least six weeks. No tennis - no good. My bad wheel turned into immobile wheel today thanks to an air cast. Not the most attractive accessory. I had been trying to continue playing with the plantar fasciitis guess I figured it was going to be around for awhile so might as well deal with it. This plan actually worked out for the best because when I was playing on Thursday there was this loud pop in the bottom of my foot. Suddenly my heel felt better, so I thought, "Maybe it released all of the bad heel juju into the rest of my foot." Well, it was something like that. Evidently I tore a ligament in my foot which the doctor told me is really the best thing that could have happened. The reason why is it cured the plantar fasciitis. Plus the recovery time for the ligament thing is about six weeks versus potentially months or years with the other. So all in all I guess it was a good thing to tear a ligament. I am bummed because I can't do any exercise for t...

Tightrope walking on a string

This has been one of "those" weeks where I often find myself scared to slow down and assess the situation because when I do I start to get this really tight feeling in my chest and I feel nauseous. Does anyone else get that? When life is going mach 10 with your hair on fire...and if you stop you just might fall right over from that string you are balancing everything on... I am going to bed.
