Overly's

We were off again. The weather here has been warm. We are waiting for snow, but we aren't getting any. Being it was warm for the winter, like 40,we took the kids to Overly's Country Christmas. Once again we were wronged by internet directions. We were going to go to New Castle, 50 miles it said, to look at lights. It said Overly's was like 60 miles. So we decided to go to Overly's because it is nicer and supposedly wasn't much farther. Well, it was closer to 80 miles away, one way. It was nice. We were there before, but #1, we didn't remember how far it was, and #2 Zac didn't get to go. I have to hear from everyone that Zac won't remember. Well, I am not too sure about that. Michael remembers things that he did when he was 2. So why couldn't Zac? Besides, we all have fun at the time. Anyway, this place has lights and you walk through. They have a little shop, train display, train ride, sleigh ride, talking tree, bon fire, old toy display, fudge shop, other little snack shops, and a live animal nativity. So it is different than the other drive through light displays we've seen. Some of these pictures are blurry. We still don't know how to use our camera. We had to laugh at "Ditto the Jackass." We didn't get home until around midnight. The kids passed out on the way home.

Another thing, I went to the Dr and now they are saying that I had high blood pressure. Now I have to go for a non stress test. I have a BP cuff here, and I checked it, and it's been fine. I know I can't take chances, but they aren't considering that not only did I have to contend with both kids to go to the Dr (get them bathed, dressed, in the car seats, get them in the office, ect..) but I also have a cold. I don't think that it is anything. I guess I will see. If it is not high the next time, I am going to tell the Dr that I am not driving to Pittsburgh every week for that test. Who can afford the gas to do that, plus go to the ob/gyn once a week? Besides, I was really stressed that day. Sometimes I feel alone. I have gone to every Dr appt. myself and had to take the kids with me while Mike is at work. He doesn't get that much time off. It is just ALOT of work. Especially now. Who knows, they will probably end up in the delivery room with me too. And there are those that say that we chose to have them. Well everyone usually gets some kind of help. Guess we better put up an ad for a babysitter. I can't keep asking my mom for everything. She has enough to deal with.
