Sorry for the lack of updates. Life has been busy, busy... and when it's not, i'm reading harry potter instead of getting on the internet. I'm on the Half-Blood Prince now.
I just finished the 5th one, and while it's my least favorite b/c Harry's so dang whiney, it has so many great things in it. And I watched the 5th movie before I read the book, and I had forgotten how much stuff they left out of it. SO many important things! And so many fun things! All the rooms in the Department of mysteries weren't in the movie. Hermione's smart way of showing if anybody told about Dumbledore's Army, and the fact that it was Cho's friend Marietta that told, and not Cho. Ginny's boyfriends. In fact, they hardly even pay attention to Ginny in the movies, which I think is a mistake since she eventually becomes Harry's love interest. ANYWAY, long story short... I'm a nerd... and I'm really enjoying reading these books again. And I'm excited to see the next movie b/c it looks AWESOME! They'll probably leave stuff out, but it'll still be good b/c the last few movies have been good even with all the stuff they left out.
Well, I finally got my son back. We went to the lake with Andrew's family Saturday, and Evan wanted to go with Papa, so I let him. I was doing okay until that night before bed, and I saw his toy puppy that he sleeps with next to my bed, and I started thinking about how cute he is when he comes in our room in the morning, and how he always makes me laugh, and I lost it. Saturday until Tuesday! That's a long time! Anyway, I drove over there Tuesday and spent the night and came back last night. I would probably enjoy my visits over there more if Evan didn't hate me while we're there. He didn't even say two words to me the whole time and kept asking for Grandma or Papa. I know it's b/c he can get away with anything when they're around, and I know that he loves me... but it still aggravates me. And it didn't help that I started my period Tuesday. And it didn't help that Lauren kept me up most of the night Tuesday night. I was pretty grumpy. And poor Carson came in my room Wednesday morning and turned my light on. I was like, "what are you doing?! Turn off the light!! What's your problem?!" haha Poor kid... he probably thinks aunt jo is a crazy person now. I tried not to act grumpy, so I don't know if anyone noticed. Thankfully, Grandma let me take a nap while she watched the kids, and I was considerably happier after that. It's amazing what sleep can do.
Anyway, poor Lauren got sunburned at the lake. But only on a small circle around her eyes. It looks like she had a ski mask on. Everybody at church the next day is like, "Did you not put sunblock on her? Why didn't you put sunblock on her?" YES, I put sunblock on her. What kind of mother do you think I am? she's white as a ghost! and she was in the shade, even! Geez, people! They acted like I just sat her in the sun for hours... anyway, she's peeling now. Poor kid. It doesn't seem to bother her, though. She's such a sweet baby...
except for when she wakes up screaming at 4am. haha
Hm, well, I'm hungry, and it's lunch time. Hope you enjoyed this uplifting entry of happiness. haha
