It is almost 12:30 AM, December 29th, and Lil Bit is STILL fighting sleep. She is so excited about a friend spending the night tomorrow that she can’t drift off to dreamland! ARGH! Go. To. Sleep. At least she is quietly pretending to try. Actually, she really is trying but is just too keyed up. I know the feeling.

I took the Big Kid to see Twilight this afternoon. The books are an OK read. I do not think they are as good as the Harry Potter series, but they are a nice read if you are looking for something easy and entertaining in a warm fuzzy kind of way. They will certainly help you reconnect with your inner teen. The movie? Typical book into a movie, but the acting was absolutely terrible! Think emo evil stares and that is the first 3/4s of the movie. The last part was the good part. With more action in the second book, maybe the second movie will be better. My cousin was spot on when she said you have to LOVE Edward in order to LOVE the movie. Don’t get me wrong, I am an Edward fan. However, I also really like Jacob in the second book. By the third he is becoming irritating. I haven’t made it all the way through the third yet so don’t spoil it for me.

My movie rating…it’s just one of those that you should see if you are reading the books. If you aren’t reading the books it will probably be very corny and stupid. However, my 11 year old LOVED it because it is the cool thing to like these days. (She hasn’t read the books yet, but will when her time allows.)

Last week we say Marley & Me. It was so cute. Now, I took the girls to see it and regret that decision. There are several insinuations that I would prefer to not discuss with the kids. However, cute movie with a nice story line and a good bit of humor.

More later…maybe. I’m going to attempt dream sleep for myself now.
