Movies that suck you in

There are just so certain movies that suck you in. No matter how many times you watch them, you just have to watch them again and again. It happened last night, and it happened again today. I got sucked in last night with Because I Said So with Diane Keaton and Mandy Moore and One Fine Day with George Clooney. Then today, it was I Still Know What You Did Last Summer (the first one sucks me in too) with Freddie Prinze and Jennifer Love Hewitt and I'm now on Twister with Helen Hunt and Bill Paxton.

Mother's Day has been pretty good so far. Pretty low key. The kids gave me their school stuff yesterday. Chase and Preslie made me cards with their thumb prints turned into grapes and the wonderful poem that I got when Rylie was in pre-k (now I have 3, one for each child). Rylie gave me a tile with her silhouette on it and a poem. She also wrote me a story. I did get up early this morning with Preslie. She got sick, but I think it's because she didn't have anything on her stomach and she was just waking up. She's kind of weak but playing around and being a little bit of herself. Cody and Rylie got up this morning and made me alphabet pancakes (I *heart* u). He also got me a card from himself that says "You're wonderful with the kids....especially the large one you married". Oh, it's so true. Then, they gave me a homemade gift card so I can go shopping and buy a new pair of shoes. I want an outfit, but we're about ready to start a new exercise program and I really don't want to get something I won't wear again.

The poem that I've gotten from each one of my children and it's just beautiful:

Earthbound Angels

Our mothers are earthbound angels

Sent by God above

To give our lives direction

And fill our hearts with love.

They have no wings or halos

And yet they are divine,

For years of toil and sacrifice

Have rendered them sublime.

So, mothers, may God bless you

Wherever you may be,

For the gift of love you gave us

Lives on eternally!
