Soccer Mom Week

This week, my parents are on a cruise for their 25th anniversary. Their anniversary isn't until April, but this was the chance they had, so they took it. Kelsey and I were thrilled because it means we don't have to plan a surprise party or anything for them. What that means, is that Anna (my 8-yr-old sister) has been left in my care from last friday to this coming Saturday. The beauty of my job and the way my life is right now is that I can have the flexibility to be wherever I need to be. So, this week I am at home through Wednesday so Anna can go to school. 

This weekend we were in the cities to spend some time with cousins, and Anna and I decided we wanted to see the movies Enchanted. I realize this is not really a new movie anymore, but we hadn't had time to see it yet! I looked it up online and found out it was playing at the IMAX at the zoo--right around the corner from my grandparents, where we were staying. That's perfect! Anna and I went to the zoo, and a lot of other people were there for the movie too, but something didn't feel right. There were no other kids. It was more like date night for Gen-X.  I brushed off the feeling of impending doom and got some popcorn. But then talking to the box office I realized the truth. They weren't showing Enchanted, they were showing U2-3D! They looked at my like I was an idiot. But the web told me.... I felt better when another mom and daughter came in, making the same mistake. 

I told her to look sad for this pic. She was a little bummed, but she was a good sport about it and we went home and watched Ratatoullie instead. We're going to try and see it later this week. 

Don't worry, I fully expect more mistakes and screwups this week. Ah,remind me to tell you about our granola making experience last night.
