BEER AT THE MOVIES

I WANT BEER AT THE MOVIES!!! OR MAYBE WINE

If there was a theater around here that served beer I could probably get my husband to go to a chick flick. Of course I would have to be the desiginated driver, but that would be ok. I remember sneaking beer into the drive in, that was always fun.

On another note, Friday night there is a band playing at a nearby towns jazz club/resturant and I know nothing about them except the name LIBIDO FUNK CIRCUS, and frankly I htink that is enough. I am going.

Why can't I leave a comment?

Sissy I can not leave comments for you, or I would. I am glad that B/N is not so poopie. I hope you are getting things settled and finding things. I did see and aldi by the way, did you find it? Let me know.

SOMETIMES SUNDAYS CAN BE COOL

Sundays are usually a lame time for me...


Usually I wake, feed the masses, and then clean and do laundry. All the while listening to my husband lament about the fact that he has to work the next day, which is really hard to deal with. I know he works hard and long hours but I am stuck with five children all day every day and he acts like it is some sort of vacation, which sucks.

But, today was good, bordering on great. It started the usual way and then after breakfast(on the deck, nice) I mentioned that there was a garage sale in a neighboring community. He, uncharacteristically(is that how you spell that?) says - "let's go check it out." Me not wanting to miss a fabulous opportunity said "I'll get dressed." We went, we shopped, and we found some really cool things - fishing lures for him and the boys and books and a tablecloth for me. FUN!
Then we went home and loaded up the canoe(he got last weekend while I was moving my Sissy, it was free!) and went to this place where we could canoe and the dog could swim and we had a blast!!! These are the days that I will strive to remember for the rest of my life. Everyone having a great time, beautiful day, sun shining, dog swimming, kids playing and laughing. If every day could be like this for everybody, the world would be so happy and calm.

We came home and cooked out and had spontaneous company - friends from down the street- and it was really good. Right now the boys are playing in the yard with friends and not arguing or fighting. They are having fun and eating burgers and having a fire in the fire pit. I can see them through the back sliding doors. Gosh I love days like this...

Sissy if you read this I am sending you a package it has the coolest plates and just some fun things for you. I will mail on Monday so look for it towards the end of this week. Love you!

HELPING SISSY MOVE

Saturday I took # 3 son to hockey and then when I picked him up at 10:40 I went to drop him off at my Mommy's house with my #4 son. #1 son was with Dad and #2 son and #5 son was with me as I drove 600 miles last weekend to move my Sissy. The only good thing is the next time she moves she will be in the same town. Actually it was not too bad, the people at the co-op house she lived in in IOWA were very helpful and loaded the trailer with me. That was about 5:00 then we ate at the IOWA 80 Truck stop, which can be very difficult for a vegetarian - my Sissy - but I truly enjoyed the steak sandwich. We finally rolled into Bloomington, which is not so poopie, around 9:00pm, so late that it prompted my Sissy to get a lock for the trailer, which I forgot, rather than unloading it. Then we tried to sleep but # 5 son baby Z would have none of that , he slept in the car , don't you people know that it is time to play? And thhen My hubby called ant tlike 11:40, during a heated game of Trival Pursuit, to ask me who played the Mom in The Graduate? At the time I was asleep and I didn't realize he was cheating, so I answered him. It was only later that I discovered that I was a part of some horrible cheatin plan to beat his sons at a board game. Who knew? I was sleeping and I answered out of instinct.

Life is funny like that. I am really excited about my Sissy doing her Masters in Bloomington. It only took me like two and one half hours to shoot up 39 towards home. Not bad at all. Maybe she will get to come home more often and msybe I will get to see more of her acting. I think my Sissy is special and talented. I hope that she makes some great contacts at this school and goes on to do more theater. I can't wait to go see her . She has some really solid brass cahones(sp?) I never would have had the guts to do what she is doing. She has faith in herself and she knows what she does is worth something. I love that about her.
