THE ULTIMATE GIFT

Speechless...... what a precious movie

Taxes and Teenagers

Taxes, teenagers and Monday... am I a glutton for punishment or what! All that to say today was spent with a huge headache. It took a couple of slugs of Tylenol and motrin to get this one to go away and hopefully it will stay away tonight. Needless to say today was productive in an I wish it were over way.

Saturday evening we watched The Pursuit of Happyness and I must confess as many good things as I've heard about this movie I was a little neutral about it. In fact I went and looked at some other reviews to see if I was being a little harsh and sure enough I am. What I didn't like about it was the fact that I felt the whole movie portrayed money to be the giver of happiness. I get stuck on that message as the world is so "happy" based. What will make you happy? That way of thinking is dangerous for me. It's a set up for the exact opposite and that is unhappiness. You may be reading this and be thinking what in the world is she talking about. Well it's simple, it's a joy that comes new from One not happiness that comes from anything in this world. To be fair there were lots of great messages in this movie. Will Smith is a loving father that has his priorities in order, I understand why he trudged forward and the love that drove that. The movie did a great job of saying that no dream is to big for anyone.

I also watched Broken Bridges yesterday. Now that movie had me in tears almost the whole movie. I loved the story and the songs. Dad if your reading this you should watch this one. I think it will touch you as much as it did me.

So another day almost wrapped up for spring break. I have a room full of teenage boys right now watching the Twins game. Two little rats outside playing in the rain with Daddy and one girl that well lets just say has had better days. Tomorrow on the agenda is a little bit of shopping to get ready for the meal this weekend and I think I may get out of my jammies tomorrow. No promises after all I take this break thing pretty seriously!
