Been a couple more of those days around here. Nobody truly sick, just... well, ugh. That's just kinda how we feel. As far as I know, James is still doing fine. HA. "As far as I know," I say. As if I wouldn't know if he were feeling ugh like the rest of us. Everybody knows when James isn't feeling up to par! It's a guy thing.
Yesterday, in spite of the ugh, I got all of the laundry and ironing caught up again. That always feels so good. It's amazing how quickly it piles up with a family of five. I can't imagine how Emilee keeps up, much less folks like Betsy Cox! Anyway, I watched Happy Feet while I ironed. James and/or I always preview movies before we let the kids watch them and somebody had lent (is that right?! It looks weird!) this one to us a few days ago, so I figured I'd check it out. Not recommended. From the opening scene I thought Hu-uh!!! No way are my kids watching this! I don't care if they are penguins, it is soooooooo sensual! There's a bunch of other craziness off and on throughout the show that I would deem unacceptable as well, but the sensual stuff and all of the environmentalist stuff was just more than I could handle. But even if it weren't for all of that stuff, the movie's just not that good! It has a cute part here or a funny part there or a suspenseful part over there... but in between all of that it's just dumb. And not one my kids will be watching. Or me, ever again! I'm sure some folks will think I'm totally over-reacting, but I can't help it. I felt guilty that I'd even watched it the first time!
I am excited, however, to learn that there will be a sequel to National Treasure! Wa-Hoo!!! I love that movie. I just hope they keep #2 (Book of Secrets, I think it's called) as clean as the first one. Fun, fun, fun!
James worked Mardel today, so Tammy came over to hang out for a little while. It's been a long time since she's been able to do that! She even brought me a Frito Wrap and a Cherry Limeade. What a pal! We usually play games when we get together, but I'm in the midst of a game dilemma (long story), so we decided to forgo that today and watch Anne of Green Gables. Wow--this whole post is about movies! Bad, bad, bad! Ha! It had been a long time since I'd watched the Anne movies and even longer for Tammy, so it was nice. I remember watching those movies while I was in the beginning stages of labor with Sam. I waited until the movie was over before I mentioned it to anybody 'cause I didn't want to interrupt the show. ;-)
The only other thing that happened around here was vacuuming the house, cleaning the kitchen floor, and ziti and breadsticks for dinner. At bedtime I finished reading 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea to the little ones (what a flop--I was sooooooo disappointed!) and Katie is now wanting the two of us to read Anne of Green Gables together, her interest being sparked by the movie today. We may do that, then I'd like to get into the Elsie books Mom has been telling me about. Anything that would help build good Christian character into that little girl of mine sounds great to me! :-)
I'd best be on my way. I'm trying to get a little extra sleep in hopes of beating the ugh and getting back to 100% working order. That would make that slave driver husband of mine happy, too, I'm sure. ~crack!~ Is that a whip I hear?! HA! Okay, I'm outta here. G'night!
