adult swim

I'm sitting in a hotel in Stevens Point trying to keep Max from watching adult swim. He doesn't even know why he isn't supposed to watch it but he's mad that I won't let him. I swear he just gets upset because he can. He has no idea what he's missing but the fact that I say no makes it that much more appealing. He is sitting in the other bed grunting. They have to be up at 6 am so we can be to the competition by 7:30. I said if they go to bed on time tonight, they can do what ever they want tomorrow. I think that was a mistake. They will probably stay up late tonight and then tomorrow too. Whatever, as long as I get to sleep on time. They should be OK, at least in the morning then I will pay for it in the afternoon. I am just happy to be out of the house! I can't believe I am at a hotel with just two of the kids, this is like a real vacation. We had a very nice drive over here and we had a wonderful dinner - besides the fact that they both ordered something they didn't like. I'm not used to the quiet, but I do like it! They didn't even beg to go swimming because we are going to be here until Sunday. Eddie actually said she would rather have a bath tonight and swim tomorrow. Where are my kids? Someone must have come and replaced them with cheap rule following replicas! This is proof positive that they have the potential to be really good when they want to be. Eddie has finally fallen asleep and I told Max he could watch whatever he wanted and he is watching the show I had put on for him - I don't know for how long. Okay, not very long, he just changed it. I usually give them the benefit of the doubt even when I'm pretty sure they don't deserve it! At least he didn't throw a fit. A few grunts are acceptable as long as that's as far as it goes. We'll have to see what happens tomorrow, I mentioned to Max that maybe we should do something fun, like sightseeing, while we are here. My kids don't even know what that is. The few places we ever go we drive straight there, hang out in the room or go directly to where we came to go and then promptly head home. We have a full day and a half, if we so choose, to just bum around! I'm so excited. We probably won't do anything, but at least we have the option to. That wasn't so bad, a few minutes after he changed the channel he was sleeping. I know if I hadn't let him change it he would still be huffing every few minutes just to let me know he is not happy. Yay! They are both sleeping at a reasonable time and hopefully will be well rested for tomorrow. Now for me, I also have a habit of staying up way too late. This adult swim is pretty funny...
