Slow and meaningful

It’s Friday. FINALLY! It has been an interesting week. The kids had homework all week and I have had to get all the forms filled out that are typical of a new school year. TONS of forms. One form alone took me about a half hour to fill out. I think, without exaggerating, that I must have had to fill out about 15 – 20 forms. Sheesh! But it is done, the week is done and now it is time to play. We have a movie to watch together, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief (which I have jokingly called Steven the Storm Stealer all week just to annoy the kids!) which we plan on watching tonight. Probably with junk food! In addition we will probably head to the mall for our weekend tradition of getting a cheap toy at the Lego store and then eating at the food court. This is usually followed by wandering around towards the pet store to watch the playful puppies and then ending at the bookstore which the kids usually try to rush me through. Okay, so I like to browse the bookstore! For hours! Sue me! Actually they are getting better at this since they are getting into reading more and more and they have also picked up a love for blank books and doodling from me. And Barnes and Nobles has a DELICIOUS selection of blank books. A whole WALL of them. GLEE! I have been writing in my journal a lot lately. Jotting down quotes or random thoughts I have. Doodling, pasting in photos or clippings from magazines etc. It is something I really enjoy. Keeping it short today folks.

Have a fun, film filled, fantastic, freaky weekend!

And remember - It’s not worth doing something, unless you are doing something that someone somewhere, would much rather you weren't doing.
