And I am not supposed to say whom just yet. Top secret. But...since I doubt any of you know or care that much....J&A are moving to Courtney. oops I was planning on being more discreet than that.
Actually no, I wasn't.
Maybe I'll get into it one day for you or maybe I already have but for now it is what it is and it doesn't seem like it'll be a major loss for me.

Potter
In the interest of keeping up the happiness at home and here on the blog I shall have a brief discussion about Harry Potter.
For my children over the last 3 weeks I have been reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (aka #4). I am an excellent out loud reader, the children sit quietly while I read and it holds their attention. The trouble is that I had said we couldn't watch the movie until we had read the book, that happened tonight, I could have slowed down and stretched it out over another week but I didn't. I wish I had, because I forgot how truly choppy the movie was and how much was missing and how it didn't follow the book and I forgot to remember that that movie is the reason I have not watched another one since. The kids enjoyed it somewhat, Gabriel did express his disappointment with it, Michael claims it wasn't scary...and it wasn't really because we knew what was going to happen and it was nothing near as intense as the book.
Generally speaking though I do love Harry Potter. I thought that the guy who played Cedric Diggory looked alot like the one who plays Edward in the Twilight movies...just going off commercials (because I won't watch those either). I wonder if it's the same guy...probably not, probably there's a way to google that but I don't actually care.

Headaches
I have a list of things I think about blogging, and then I don't. Somehow this became my complain space again and then it looks like I am unhappy when in fact I am not unhappy.
I have a headache that woke me up this morning and I didn't even drink the bottle of wine. A pinch in my shoulder that makes me able to move like a robot. I am going to get it massaged later this morning.
Some news without complaints ~ Kids passed at school and will be moving up a grade for September... Grade 3 and 1. Both had areas of exceeding expectations, although Gabriel's had a word of caution that it might not continue if he doesn't slow down and try a bit harder.
~ We are reading Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire together this summer. Both of them joined the Summer Reading Club through the library.
~The Suite is vacant until late August but it is also paid for (not entirely but enough) which means that overnight guests can stay in their own space when they come...when are you coming?
~My mom was here last week and we had a good time that I am sure would have been better had it not been the last week of school and my pms time
~Mom got a ride home with the kids school principal, because she has a place in that town too
~ There are overnight guests in the suite right now. :)
~I need to do some Pampered Chef business this month, I mean get real about it and stop coasting because someones spending habits need me to.
~ We are going camping in just over a week and I am excited to see some long lost friends.
~ I have got my tan 'on'. and sitting or laying in the sun really helps me to feel good
My company has just woken up so I am off to hostess :D
