Potpourri

I have been after my youngest son to do his book report. Well it is due today. Last night I tell him to get on it because it is due tomorrow. He said he "lost" the paper. I tell him your grounded!! I go in search of my papers with the teacher's email address and find the one I am looking for which has the forms he needs for his book report. I come out to give him the paper and what do you know he is on the teachers site. Amazing what a threat can do!! It took him to 10PM to get it done, but at least it is done and he can turn it in today! I am always after him about his homework. He has math homework everyday except Friday. Yesterday he says it is extra credit so I don't have to do it, I am you should it will help your grade. Well it is extra credit and it means I don't have to do it. It is so frustrating!

My oldest son I haven't talked to or seen in two weeks. I called him yesterday and he is like what's up? Nothing just haven't heard from you or seen you in a while so I just called to say Hi and see how you are doing? I'm doing good mom. I am at dmv Rachel is taking the test to get her permit. Oh thats good. Ok I love you and miss you. I love and miss you too mom!! Now you have to understand, he has been out on his own for almost three years now. It was a hard adjustment for me, but I am doing better now!! I know he has his own life and all, but I still like to hear from him or see him once in a while. My husband used to always say, Oh you need a Brandon fix!! LOL yeah dear what ever!! He is right of course! Than he calls me later Oh I forgot to tell you Rachel and I rescued a kitty! Oh you did so now you have four cats? Well he was all skinny and what not so we took him in and feed him so he is doing better. This is the child that brought me a stick bug when he was little, Yuck!!! He said isn't it cool mom, I am like yes dear now take it outside now. Can I keep it? You can keep it outside!! He did and than set it free a week later!!

My daughter brought home the other day the catalog for class rings. She said she would rather have a class ring than a letterman jacket. We bought our oldest son the jacket. So I filled out all the information on what ring she wanted and she is supposed to turn it in today at lunch. I told her I got a class ring and still have it, oh can I see it? I went and dug it out and showed her. That's really nice, yeah it is a nice memory to have. So I hope that when she gets her ring she will keep it too!

My husband and I never did go on a date this week, but we did get to spend some alone time together before he had to go to work and that was really nice! He made breakfast for us the other day that was a treat as well. Tonight we are going to go to the movies with the kids so that will be a nice family outing. We try to do that if we can it always depends on when he gets off of work. My kids are wanting to go to the haunted house, but I think I will try and take them next week. My husband really doesn't care about that kind of stuff and I think it is fun! I like scary movies and stuff like that anyway. My husband was happy when our oldest was old enough to watch those kind of movies so he didn't have to!! Now my daughter wants to watch them too!

Specking of scary movies: My favorite well maybe it really isn't so much as scary, but vampires I love movies with vampires! One of my favorites is Dracula! Bram Stokers. I think that movie is romantic in a sick sort of way!! The one I am talking about is the one with Winona Rider and Keaneu Reeves. I also love Underworld, Van Helsing, and Blade. I just pick up another tv series that happens to be about vampires it is Angel! David Boreanaz is so HOT as my daughter says!! This was a spin off from Buffy the vampire slayer. He plays a good vampire! Between pervasive evil and countless temptations lurking beneath the city's glittery facde, L.A. is the ideal address for a fallen vampire looking to save a few lost souls and, in turn, perhaps redeem his own! The other night my shows weren't on so we watched a few episodes of this and even my husband was saying how sexy he is. I love him on Bones as well. I haven't read the books on Twilight yet, but my daughter read the first book and is on the second and we are looking forward to that movie as well! This is more geared to teenagers, but I will still probably go see it just because it is about vampires and a love story!!

That is my potpourri for the day! Thought I would just say a little about different things that were on my mind!
