Can you believe today is February the first? Honestly, I really don't know where the month of January went. Today was pinch and a punch day, and in case you're interested, I got John fair and square, it wasn't even close. By the way, I forgot to mention I got him on the BIG day, New Year's Day as well. He's 0 for 2 now. Poor bugger, doesn't bode well for him for the rest of the year does it? The kids had their PD day today. I'm actually glad, as it snowed like mad all day, so it would have been another bus cancellation day. Remember those two days they had off earlier in the week? Connor is ruing them now, you should see the stack of homework he brought home last night, plus he has a project to do. We're in for a fun weekend. Speaking of which, he has three friends over tonight for a sleepover. His birthday is next week, but Dan won't be here then, and there was no way in hell I was doing that one again by myself. I may be stunned sometimes, but I am not stupid. Actually, I was evil and left Dan alone with the kids tonight to go see a movie with the girls. PS I Love You was playing at the base theatre, and after being home with the kids 3 days this week, we all needed a night out. I must say, I really enjoyed the movie. It probably isn't the best movie I've seen lately, but it was a sad love story, partially set in Ireland (I really, really want to go back), and Gerard Butler is in it. Yummy!!! What's not to love? Of course, it was a sappy movie, so I cried all the way through. Did I mention I'm a sook when it comes to sad movies? Thank God Jen and I didn't see that one last year. It was about a woman whose husband dies, but he leaves her different letters that are delivered throughout the year after he dies. Very sad! By the time we left the theatre, my eyes were puffy and my nose was red. And we went out for coffee after, no wonder people were looking at us funny. My nose was so stuffed up from crying, I had to take a decongestant before I went to bed!! And while I was out crying at the movie, Dan held down the fort with the kids. They were excellent. Damnit, how come they weren't like that for me? Dan claims he has the magic touch. I, however, know it is because Connor invited completely different boys from last year. Like I said, I might be a sook when it comes to sappy movies and I may be stunned sometimes, but I am not stupid.
