Yesterday a friend and I took our four boys and a friend to the local water park. It was a good time. Not too hot, the boys got along well, and it wasn't overly crowded. The mother of the additional boy, to show her gratitude to us for taking her son out invited us over to her house afterwards. She has a pool so the kids got to swim some more and she fed us very well.

When we finally got home last night close to seven I was wiped out. I went to bed after House, and even though I was tired, my mind wasn't really ready for bed. I stayed in bed until I fell asleep and after the dream I had, started to wonder if maybe I'm watching too much TV. I dreamt that I was married to Charlie from the WW (although it might have been his character from Psych) and we had a daughter who was Phillip/Shawn and Belle's baby, Claire, from Days of Our Lives. Charlie told me he was just diagnosed with cancer, and I remember hugging him and telling him we would get through it, since we just went through a similar experience with Claire. Then the Cybermen showed up and decided to 'upgrade' Charlie. I couldn't save him, but I did manage to rescue Claire who promptly turned into my real life boys. We then had to fight a bad flood at the Jersey shore to escape. I woke up, it was 3:30AM and I spent the next hour and a half awake.

One of the first things I did this morning was to fast forward through last night's episode of Eureka to find the SG-1 200 preview. When I saw the TV Guide photos (the ones that show Jack and Sam's wedding photo, CJ and AT as D'Argo and Chiana from Farscape, and the Wizard of Oz one) I said to my husband that this episode is either going to be the best thing ever on TV, or a huge train wreck. I was then telling him how excited I was about the Farscape spoof and said that I assumed BB and CB would play John and Aeryn. I then went quiet and my husband said to me, "You're hoping they kiss, aren't you?" He knows me so very well.

The only thing I'm concerned about is the wedding. Part of me thinks it's just another spoof, or movie plot line and therefore won't be 'real'. But then based on comments I read from one of the cons when AT said something along the lines of this ep putting an end to the shipper debate I then wonder if it will have some 'reality' towards it.  I don't know if I'm too excited by the idea of Sam and Jack getting married. I'm kind of afraid it'll turn into one of those sappy wedding scenes that have been a part of bad fanfiction, and I don't think I want that for Sam and/or Jack. (Of course it could turn into this exact scene and I'll end up squeeing like mad because I'm a huge sucker for romance on screen) I'm not too worked up by it, because I don't know for sure what TPTB have in mind, but out of all the clips I've seen so far, that one is what I'm least looking forward to.

This morning was a fic bonanza. svilleficrecs wrote a Doctor Who Eleven/teenage Rose ficletlyssie wrote a BSG Kara/Anders crack!rabbit ficletdaisycm83 continues on in her SG-1 Austen verse with a Sam/Jack not-what-you-think-it-is-stuck-in-a-storage-closet fic.  There was also Cam/Vala smut courtesy of thehallway.  I like when my flist provides me with a selection of enjoyable, not your standard overused characters and/or plot fanfics.

Thanks to jennukes I now have a Vox account.  I think I'm going to go with what seems to be a common reason of using it for more of a real life journal, if I use it at all.  I did try to have a separate LJ account for my real life, but I didn't like having to switch between names and forgetting who I was logged in as.  I haven't really looked into Vox much, and since this afternoon is turning into a 'sitting around on my butt' sort of day, maybe I'll play around with it later.

And finally, in the last bit of real life news, I finally found out yesterday which kindergarten class my younger son will be going into.  He will be in the 'afternoon' session which goes from 10:15-3:45.  Factor in the bus schedule and he'll be gone from about 10-4.  I am so happy he got into this session.  The other one runs from 8 -1:25, which meant we would have had to be ready for school about twenty minutes earlier than we had been, which I foresaw being a big deal some days.  Also, the afternoon one works perfectly with my new part time job I'll be starting the week after the kids start back at school.  I'll be working with my mother learning her side of the family business (the accounting part mostly).  Since she usually works 10-6, me being able to work 10:30 ish to 2:30 ish works out well.  She officially offered me the job today, asking me to start with Monday/Thursday and adding in a Wednesday when they start getting busy in October.  I also found out my pay which was in the exact middle of the range I thought I'd be in.  So I'm pretty excited to be taking baby steps back into the work force.  The last official job I held ended way back in February of 1998, when I was pregnant with my older son and moved from Jacksonville to Memphis.
