Dear Diary:

Today I figured I’d try something new. Journal form. Today we went to Highmark Stadium with the babies. It took me almost 30 years to get to a football stadium and this is the second for these babes. They also saw the former stadium before it was torn down.

In a lot of ways it was nothing special. We waiting in a long line to be told we couldn’t bring in our stroller: and then had to wait in the long line again. Before that though they had fun walking down the field sound thing (horrible description improve later maybe).

They gave us these plastic cups that maybe I’m a snob and I will give it a try: but feels really cheap. And I mean free is free yes but I have also become increasingly aware of plastics you aren’t supposed to put hot stuff into: so worst case it’s just a water cup not a coffee cup. And again: free is free; and I am sure someone will have these posted online and someone else might actually buy one. Free souvenir.

The line to get down to the field was not that bad and me being demanding actually helped us there. Had we “looked around more” or grabbed food the line would’ve been a lot longer and the babies barely tolerated it as it was.

This was all great practice for Disney: for patience and for carrying babies. Omg no stroller meant a lot of carrying: more than usual and my arms are jacked. They don’t lie about twin mom arms. I wish some of it would help this belly but Cest la vie!

The French fries from McDonald’s didn’t help but I only ate half of what I would have typically- no shame a large fry is just chefs kiss. I’m sorry because I am aware how these are the least close thing to a potato but it’s just true. Nothing like McDonald’s French fries lol.

But the babes needed something to hold them over and this worked well: with some mug and burger. My hubby fed them while I ran into Wegmans with my MIL to grab some steaks mushrooms and lettuce for dinner. Which she prepared most of while we played fed and bathed the kids.

I had so much fun with them that I actually forgot to ask if the Bills won or lost today. And they won! Just looked that up: by 3! Go us! Because winning is winning. Surviving is getting by, getting by is making it, making it is head above water: head above water isn’t drowning: if you aren’t drowning: you aren’t in survival anymore. Congrats. Just keep going.

The morning was really nice: minus my stomach attack: Imodium saved my bum literally. I thought I wouldn’t even make it to the stadium. Crazy to hit sudden and out of no where. Just a reminder that you can reset and restart your day at any moment.

Alrighty well that feels like enough for now. So yeah this was a try at this. Maybe I’ll try this again.
