To finish off my little story from yesterday, I went by the bar to see what happened with the bartender. Apparently, she has anxiety attacks sometimes and it being her first day ever working she got a little overwhelmed. She is fine now, and is on her medication and everything is okay. As a matter of fact we all had a laugh about it later.

So, today I decided to spend sometime with my 7 year old son. The doctors recently told me that his is probably on the autism scale somewhere. It's funny because when I was his age the doctors told my parents the same thing but, they didn't believe that and I'm just fine. It was mostly because I didn't start talking until I was in school but, I think that is because my mother never talked to me as a baby. My children shouldn't have that problem because their mother and grandmother just love to talk and could go on forever.

Anyway, I took him to The Children's Museum and then later we went back home to get my 8 year old daughter and we went downtown to see a taping of Sonny With a Chance. There were a few tears and tantrums but, overall it was a pretty good day. Afterwards, I took them to this restaurant and they tried sushi for the first time and I was very happy that they enjoyed it.

I'm also trying to spend my little vacation reading some more books. For a long time I mostly only read pre-21st century books just because they offered insight into worlds I didn't get to live through but, now I'm trying to read something that came out after the year 2000. I have read Eragon and Harry Potter though. But other than that if anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear them.
