Beauty and the Beast

So I have been so excited for this past Thursday to come for the past couple of weeks. Brad and his girlfriend, Brandi, invited Thomas and I to see Beauty and the Beast in Jacksonville. I had everything all planned out and we get all ready to go, Thomas takes Aiden out to Robbie and Michelle's and while he is gone, our little window A/C unit falls out of the window and breaks, so Thomas comes back and is all upset that he has to deal with this while in his nice, dressy clothes. Luckily we had one in the shed that we could use in the meantime in our bedroom because there's just no sleeping in there without an A/C, but as he is carrying it inside, all the water drips down onto his clothes, but we noticed quickly and it was all the clean water that got on him, so he didn't have stained clothes or anything.
So we get that in, and they come and we drive out to Jacksonville. We finally get out there and as we are walking around The Landing, trying to find someplace to eat, I start having terrible contractions. I was walking in heels, it was hot and humid, and I hadn't had enough water to drink that afternoon. All the things that you are supposed to avoid doing if you don't want to deal with Braxton-Hicks. Also, keep in mind that I just had a straight C-section with Aiden. Never started labor, never was induced, just cut open. So this is the first time I've felt contractions like this. It sucked. A lot!
So we eat at a nice restaurant and then it's time to walk to the Times Union Theater just a couple blocks away. Entire time I'm fighting through contractions. We get there and there is no one there. Period. No. One. Brad knocks on the door and a security guard answers and it's obvious he's had to deal with this all night because he tells us that it's not at this theater, but the FCCJ South Campus twenty minutes away.
Fantastic.
The website we bought the tickets from gave us directions to the Times Union Theater. Not the FCCJ Theater. So we decide that we're just going to miss the play because by the time I walked (ever so slowly) back to the truck and got in, drove there, found a parking place, it would probably had been 45-60 minutes later and then we wouldn't be let in until intermission and we would have missed half the show.
So we went to Orange Park and saw Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince again. It was awesome, again, but more awesome this time because it was a nice theater and the tickets were only 5 dollars! Hooray!
Then by the time we got home, it was about midnight, so we decided to leave Aiden at Robbie and Michelle's and I would pick him up the next day. It was very disconcerning. It wasn't like he wasn't well taken-care of, he absolutely was in very capable hands, it was just weird to have my house so empty. Who knew that the absence of 28 pounds could make a house feel so barren?
All in all, it was a fantastic night, despite stupid websites.
