Finally had enough


I have finally caved into and accepted the fact that the only way we will have Hi-Speed Internet is if we do it through Comcast.  I have been anxiously awaiting Bellsouth DSL, but as of last week they still didn't have any idea when they would get to our neighborhood.  So i'm going to get cable internet. 

It will be quite an adjustment, what will i do with all the time that i usually waste while waiting for a page to load?  And imagine being able to send pictures without having to wait hours for my little dial-up connection.

what is this world coming to?

Parenting Lesson


You know your child is watching too much TV when your 6 year old child asks you if he can go on Quicken.com to get a loan.

"What is a loan?" i ask.

"I don't know, i just know we need to get one."

Groundation


Cute story, well, sort of....

The other day we were in the car coming back from the movies.  The devil monsters (i.e. my two children) are in their seats.  The girl is reading something, a book or magazine, i don't know.  All of a sudden i see, out of the corner of my eye, something black flying in the car and she screams OW!!!!  The boy, for absolutely no reason, has thrown his sunglasses and hit her in the eye.

I was so effing mad that i almost smashed the breaks and caused a pile up on the road.  She's crying, he's bumbling between saying sorry and explaining why he did it and i just tell him "Don't say a word!"

We get home and i tell him that he is to stay in his room until i am calm enough to talk to him and let him explain why he threw something at his sister.  "Do not come out of your room for anything, except going to the bathroom, and then it's back to your room.  No talking, No crying, and absolutely no having fun.  You are grounded!"

A few day's later their in the car with their dad doing the 3 L's (as he calls them) Library, Lunch and Lowes, the boy says "cause when i was groundation i couldn't watch t.v."

HUH????

Roller Coasters


A few weeks ago we went to Busch Garden's Williamsburg for a little family vacation.  I was so excited about riding on some roller coasters, unfortunately i was the only one that wanted to ride. There is a brand new one in Busch Gardens callde the Griffon.

It takes you up 205 feet into the air, dangles you for just enough time to let your heart stop, before plunging straight down under a bridge and up around a loop before doing it again.

It was AWESOME!!!!!  My hubby stayed with the kids and just happened to snap a picture of one while it was slowing down in the water feature.  By pure coincidence it was the one i was riding on.  Check it out.

the end of Harry Potter


I just finished reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.  It was an awesome book, but it's so sad to think that this is the end.  I know that at least i can look forward to 2 more movies, but there's nothing like a good book, and i just loved this series from the beginning.
