Have You Sparkled Today?
Well it is Saturday again dear readers. Not to be the messenger with bad news but your weekend is half over. So is mine but I have to work anyway so it doesn’t really matter. The thought of a weekend off is a miracle for which I will not reach. I am just praying for a day off. I will take ANY day off. I am not picky dear readers. So the cheerleaders came and went without too much headache. So I can’t complain too much about work because dear readers I have to move on to my daughter’s season miracle. See my twelve year old daughter fell head over heels for Edward Cullen. For those who don’t know this young man don’t feel bad. If it wasn’t for my daughter I would have no clue either. Edward is the young handsome vampire in a little book called “Twilight”. I believe the author’s name is Stephanie Meyers and she has started a new trend of “Vampires are HOT”. I unfortunately have a very talkative twelve year old who has sat me down (or got me in the car where there is nowhere for me to go) and told me this guys resume. The only thing that I can remember other than his name is the he sparkles. What in God’s name does that mean? I have no clue. In my thought most guys who “sparkle” aren’t really into girls but I let her have her fantasy. So today she got to see him on the big screen. I was lucky that my mother and mother-in-law wanted to see this movie and I got paroled and didn’t have to spend $6.50 to be tortured. After my mother gave me and husband the gift of free babysitting while in the movie she also paid for two tickets to another movie. We watched a movie called “Role Models”. I freaking LOVED it. You have to understand that I have a very twisted sense of humor. I love movies like “Knocked Up” and “Superbad”. I have watched those movies I know fifty times. They consist of curse words, sex humor, and drugs. (For the record I know it may seems as if I am on drugs or maybe I SHOULD be on drugs but I am not I just find it funny…yes I know not a very good mom thing but I can’t help it) So Role Models were number one for me. It will be in my “shouldn’t like it but do anyway” movie collection. I don’t who wrote it but it was a great mixture of my “Superbad”, “Knocked Up” and Reno 911 cast. So I really enjoyed it. The best part was that we didn’t have the kids with us. So we didn’t get those “Oh my God can you believe that MOTHER let her kids come to this movie” look. Yes unfortunately I have taken my kids to see movies I really shouldn’t have. You should be proud I only snuck in three boxes of candy for my kids. I had planned to sneak in candy, soda, and popcorn but chickened out. Well not chicken out per say we didn’t have enough purses. Well dear readers I will end the day on a good note. My kids are happy and by some twisted logic I am the HERO for letting the kid go see the movie. I hope the “Twilight” angels smile down on you and the “Can you believe she thinks that is funny” angels smile down on me……
