I've Finished

I am so very happy to report that the spoiler that I read last week before the book came out was a complete fake. A good fake, but it was still a fake. So, I read the book with a joyful heart. I'm not going to post any spoilers because again, I don't do that sort of thing, but it was pretty darn good. I pattern my mothering skills after Mrs.Weasley. I think she was an awesome, real character. I don't know how I fell about the ending, but I do know that I am sad that the series has ended. While reading the book, I openly laughed, wept, and cheered. JK Rowling really has an amazing imagination. She has created a world with complete backstories, amazing characters, and a serious attention to detail. Anyway, to sum it all up...It was great. Bye, Harry...I'll be seeing you again when I reread your story to little man in a few years!
Peace Out,
Mom

I Can't Believe I Did It...

(Don't worry, I'm not posting any spoilers here. After all, I am a true fan...)
I looked at spoilers a couple of weeks ago that were obvious fakes. I found them amusing, really. People are so hungry to find out how it all ends, you know...I guess I was just curious to find out other people's theories. So Tuesday, I happened upon a new "leak" and read it... Kept reading...Scrolled down a bit...And there it was, actual pictures of the new book. I was reading what happens in the new book!!! Son of a b*!! I found out later that some internet company had "accidentally" sent out pre-ordered copies early. And these people posted them all over the internet. It serves me right for being so GD curious! I'm still excited about the midnight release of the new book. Really, I am. I'm just a little sad that I know how it all ends. I should have been patient. *Sigh*
Peace Out,
Mom

Random Thoughts on a Slow Monday...

So, I am here at work and it is very, very slow...It is a beautiful day outside, and I'm really longing to go out and enjoy it, but I won't be out of here until 8. Then, it's time to get the kiddos ready for school tomorrow. I don't know why I am so happy for them to return. Looking back, I'm always shocked that I am happy they are returning to school, but I don't really know why. This time, they were bickering with each other in the end. Also, middle son has taken to arguing with little man. It's really ridiculous considering they're seven years apart!
Last week, My hubby and I went out on a little date. We dropped the kids off at G-parents and went to the batting cages. Now, I haven't been to the batting cages in eons, so I forgot all the rules. Number one rule being: Take off your wedding ring before you proceed to bat. I was rewarded with a nice blood blister on my left hand. Yeah, gross.
AND, in the process of carrying the treadmill upstairs, I dropped it on my foot. This getting healthy things sucks. Or is it getting old that sucks? Whatever.
Peace Out,
Mom

I Feel Like a Death Eater

I went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter last night, and boy am I tired. The little man did not want to sleep in this morning, so I am running on empty and I look like a zombie! :-) HP5 was really fantastic. I think it is one of the best HP movies yet. Of course, just like the rest of them, there are parts left out that I thought were important, but hey, what do I know?!? I'm really getting too old for staying up late and getting up early, you know?


Anyway, I took the two big boys, and my mom and sister went, too. The line was wrapped around the entire theater an hour and a half before the movie started. I had a friend who went to a different theater's showing and she had been there for four hours! I was really hoping for more costumes, but alas, there weren't too many nerds out last night! I proudly wore my "Dumbledore's Army" shirt, as did my sister. I love it!


I am now re-reading the sixth book, so that I will be prepared when the next book comes out next week. I swear, if she kills off Harry, I am going to organize a mass "book-sending-back-party!" I don't know if I'm ready for it all to end...


Peace Out,


Mom

He's in the Middle

My middle son is now 11! I'm a couple of days late with this post, mostly because it took me this long to recover from the slumber party that took place at my house to celebrate his bday! There were five extra boys over, so altogether, there were seven boys! I was lucky enough to get my oldest sent off to a friend's house! They were little beasts all night. It started after they got there, and my sister's boyfriend picked up a knife off the floor that one boy had dropped. I identified the owner of the knife and assured him that it would be kept in a safe place until he left my home. What kind of 10 year old carries a knife??? WTF??? What kind of parent allows their child to carry a jackknife? He's also the same kid who bought my son fish for his birthday. Live fish. Aren't parents supposed to call before they do such a thing??? Needless to say, this child has been put on my list of children not allowed over. Another reason for this is that he, and another boy, were up long after the other boys were asleep and proceeded to go under my kitchen counter and get cleaning products to spray in the sleeping children's faces. This was their way of hazing them for falling asleep first. Again I say, WTF???? What happened to dipping hands in water??? Am I just getting old, or what?

Aside from all of this, my son is happy and older. I adore him. He is so imaginative and optimistic, and so ready to have a good time. He loves to read and share his stories with all of us. He's a good brother and an awesome son. I am so happy to have him in my life. So, Happy Birthday my wonderful middle child! You make me proud.

Peace Out,

Mom
