I have four kids. Last night my mom took my three sons overnight and we only had our daughter at home. The plan was to go out to dinner and bring her along, but then my husband got called to work because he is on-call for the week.
Then he got called to another job where he ran into more troubles than he expected.
At 10pm, he brought us home some Thai food after my daughter and I ate an appetizer of ice cream. (Yeah, I know. Healthy.)
After we put her to bed, we laid down to watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, fell asleep, and finished watching it in the morning. I really didn’t like it. If I had to describe it in one word, it would be “depressing”. I think it had good potential, but I didn’t like the immorality in it or the choices he thinks he has to make for the sake of his daughter. Also, I can’t figure out what’s supposed to be so lovable about him other than he’s Brad Pitt. Of course, it’s also a really unrealistic plot, but it is interesting to think about what one’s life would be like if that were to happen to them. I did like some of the characters quite a bit, but I would never own it. At least I didn’t have high expectations.
It turns out our daughter will sleep until 11am when her brothers aren’t around, which would explain why she’s usually so crabby in the mornings. My sons wake up earlier than her and make a bunch of noise every morning. My husband is headed back to work and I’m hoping to get more done to make a special Valentine’s Day for him and the kids. He’s still on-call tomorrow and hopefully he won’t be needed so I will have help at church. I’m going to make Fettuccini Alfredo with chicken, broccoli, garlic bread, and do our tradition of making chocolate dipped strawberries.
What are your plans?
