I was just trying to be "a good mom" and go with my family on a ride. One that we would ALL go on. Andy tried to get us to go on the Ferris Wheel. I totally would have been fine with that, however Miss Maggie wanted no part of that one. We also tried the Tornado, she wasn't game for that one either.
It was about 8:10 last night and yes, we should have already been home. The people (all three of my kids) wanted to ride the bumper cars one more time, so we headed there and that was going to be our last ride. Andy convinced Maggie to go on the Tilt A Whirl first, which was right next to the bumper cars. I didn't want to be a party pooper! I hadn't eaten since about 6:00 (in which I really enjoyed my fresh, hot corn dog) so I thought I would be fine. I was once again wrong....you'd think I would start figuring this stuff out!
Maggie totally did NOT like it! She was crying...and I should have just made them stop the ride, but in my whirling around I couldn't find the "carney" dude. So we rode it out (pun intended)! Max on the other hand LOVED it! He is so Andy!
We finally got off the Tilt A Whirl, I was totally dizzy but okay! The kids still wanted to do the bumper cars, so we did that and I was still fine. Then the kids and I walked to DQ to share a ice cream treat, thinking it might make me feel better, while Andy went to get the car to take us all home. We ate our ice cream and then got in the van to get home.
I still wasn't feeling that great, but I really started to feel bad when we were driving home. I didn't think I would make it. I felt like I had been drinking too much adult beverages. It was weird. I think it was the longest three-minute van drive I've had in a long time.
Andy got the kiddos in jammies, and did the bedtime routine. I was still spinning like crazy. I got my jammies on too and fell into my bed. I laid there with the lamp on, glasses still on and everything. Finally at about 10:00 last night, I had that feeling, you know the one. Its- a- good- thing -I-had- the- glow- of -the- lamp- and -glasses- on feeling. I jumped out of bed and headed for the porcelain goddess!
All I will say is that, I have had my fill of fresh, hot corn dogs and Butterfinger blizzards for a long while and that I will NEVER, EVER ride the Tilt A Whirl again!
A few pictures before things got bad!
Andy & Max on the Tornado!
Andy & our friend's girls! Don't think Andy will be riding this one again any time soon!

How terrible. I am so SORRY! I hope you get over not wanting Butterfinger Blizzards soon, because going without those would just be TRAGIC!
Hope you're all better now.
Poor girl! At least this didn't happen right there in the middle of the Pumpkin Festival, Maggie might have just been totally upset! Hope you are feeling better tonight!
You poor thing!
I can't wait for all the fall festivals to start around here. I'll be keeping this post in mind when we head to the midway.
Stop by my blog when you get a chance, I've left a little something for you there.
Ooh, girl. Just thinking about the Tilt-A-Whirl makes me feel a little queasy. I used to love every type of ride, the crazier the better, but now that I am getting OLD I cannot handle anything. Seriously. I don't know what happened to me.
I'm enjoying reading your Pumpkin Festival updates...makes me feel like I'm back "home".
