What a slide

Last night we went to a playground a few miles away from our house, and found that it was a huge one. I have never really noticed it before. I think we will continue to go to it. They had the tallest slide. It was one of those twisty slides in a circle. It didn't just have one twist, it had two. Ok I really wish that I brought my camera. It was huge. Jason would not go on the slide by himself and he had to go up and down the stairs a few times to work himself up for going on it. Thankfully he dragged Will on the slide with him. It was a great playground.
They also had another slide that shots you out. It was just a normal kids slide, but it was pretty steep. I had to catch Jason from flying out the bottom. I bet Will wished that I had caught him too. He went down the slide and fell on his tush. I had a pretty good laugh.

Today is the dreaded glucose test for me. I have been procrastinating long enough. It is a test to see if you have gestational diabetes. Last time I got a false positive and ended up having to take the 3 hour test. It is just not my favorite thing in the world to do. The protein breakfast that I just had to eat is sitting in my stomach like a rock.

And in another hour I have to drink the nasty glaucoma drink, which I have 8 min to drink it all. Ok it is 10 oz of this super sweet drink that tastes like a flat orange soda. Yes they actually add a little carbonation to it, as if that is going to make it taste any better. I guess the first test is better then the second one. The 3 hour test, tastes like a flat cola, so I guess it could be worse. I am praying that I pass this test and don't have to take the second test. My fingers are crossed.
PS It is worse then I remember. Nasty after taste.
