As I've been trying to unpack and take care of normal stuff, I have been pretty overwhelmed.
We don't have TV reception. I know that's no big deal. But I really enjoy watching TV in the evenings after the kids have gone to bed. I usually let the kids watch a show after nap time too.
I don't have a dishwasher, so there's a lot of extra washing after each meal.
The kids are fighting a lot! I've been dishing out a lot of spankings and nose-in-corner times.
So here's my point. I love good old chick flicks. I had decided to watch Pride and Prejudice the other day and I didn't get around to it. ( I don't subject Jody to movies like that since he hates them, and we do like to watch things we mutually agree on). So I stuck it in my purse. I was thinking that maybe I'd watch it when I took the kids to my parents the other day. Then I walked around with it in my purse today at the grocery store. Why? Wishful thinking I guess.
Then I walked into Blockbuster to buy The Water Horse for Silas for his birthday (belated) and I made the sensor go off as soon as I walked in. The guy looked at me and I said, "I'm carrying a movie of my own in my purse." He didn't say anything back. And the Water Horse doesn't come out until next week. Then I made the sensor go off as I walked out.
I'm delirious. And crazy. I know.

I have done things like that before! LOL Pride and Prejudice is one of my favorite movies - I know you will enjoy it. :) Hope you guys are settling in well...I thought of you today when I was visiting my hubbie at NGU (he works in computer services).
My UTMOST SYMPATHIES for not having a dishwasher. My dishwasher gets broken for a day, and I panic!!
Guess, we shouldn't have given Jody such a hard time about loading the clean dishwasher--ha! If would be great to have that problem now!!!

I spent the last 2.5 years without a dishwasher - it was horrible. I can't imagine being in that situation with kids! Poor thing.
Also, your purse must be a mary-poppins-like bag that holds all kinds of stuff. Mine is home to water bottles, an umbrella and all kids of other random things.
Emily that is too funny about carrying the video into the store. . something I would do!! I will pray that you get some free time to watch your girly movie!! We miss you here in ND too!! Lots of Love!!
Paper plates are the best! I still use them even with a dishwasher. I hope you get to watch your movie soon. I wish I could be there to take the kids, so you could just take a nap or watch your movie. Maybe soon!
