Random babbling about what's been going on.

Yesterday we went to the Museum of Science and Industry. We had a blast. Here's a pix of the kids and I in front of the model of downtown Chicago. The lady said it took them 3-1/2 years to make it.

Yesterday was the last day that admissions was free. Of course being the last day meant that it was packed. Parking was flippin' $16 though! Free my a__!
Anyway, it was worth it. We had a great time. I'm glad I went there with older kids that could hand all the walking and truly get something out of the experience. Most of the science stuff would go over the heads of any child under the age of 7 or 8.

Matt got me a GPS this past Christmas and it totally paid for itself on this trip! Oh, thank you God that I live in the digital age! Traffic was a bit slow leaving Chicago. What should have been a 2 hour drive home took 4 hours. Of course the 3 pit stops on the way home influenced travel time too. I was exhausted! I went to bed early knowing I would have to interpret the next day.

Interpreting Note:
I had a weird interpreting day today. I was dizzy for some unknown reason. I've gone down the list of possible explanations and nothing fits as to the reason. Being dizzy makes it hard to concentrate, which meant I miss things or misunderstood what's being said. Frustrating. Normally, if I am dizzy it's because of my migraine meds being messed up. But I've been on the same dose for a while now and my body is use to it ):^?
The dizziness has since subsided and I hope it stays away. Matt has been having dizzy spells too but we are pretty sure his has to do with his diet. Could be not enough iron or low blood sugar. He's planning on see the doc about it.
