Back on the crack - uh, I mean soda. Bought 3 12-packs last night, and I am drinking them with abandon. Don't worry - like every addict, I am happier this way!
I'm trying to pay more attention to my kids. You know, the REAL attention. Even when I'm actually interacting with them, I hardly make eye-contact. Actually, I hardly make eye-contact with anyone. I hate it. Babies, yes. I don't know what age they hit where it turns for me. Claire doesn't seem to care (mostly because she is all about Claire, and she has always received the attention she wants because she demands it), but Charlotte is really responding. I'm trying to let go of the guilt associated with slacking in this area. Poor girl.
I'm also trying to improve my posture. Every bleeping picture I saw of myself from this past week, I'm slumping. And now, I keep realizing that I'm hunching all day long. Straighten your spine, Quasimoto! I remember consciously doing this in elementary school. I was sitting down at lunch, and I looked down the aisle for whatever reason, and I noticed that my back was all slumped down, and everyone else was sitting straight. By high school, people complimented me on my posture (weird, I know). So, it's possible. Silly, but possible. At least it's a goal I can actually accomplish. Although, two goals at once? I don't know...
I finished the last Twilight book last night. I'm STILL on Team Jacob. I just prefer his kind of love to the obsessive Bella-Edward kind. Still, Sarah, it's good. You should read it. My fave part of the series is the Quileute tribe.
OH! I saw "Four Christmases." BOOooooo! Don't even rent it.

#1 NOOOOOOOO! I love Vince Vaughn! It's not even worth seeing to watch him for 2 hours? Say it isn't so!
#2 Who cares if you're back on Coke? It ain't beer.
#3 Don't feel guilty about not interacting with your kids like you think you should. EVERYONE feels that way. Kids will take as much as you give and so it never feels like enough.
#4 The good thing about you is you can get away with sitting up straight and it doesn't look like you are sticking your boobs out for all the world to see. When I attempt to sit up straight I feel like I'm being inappropriate. Luckily you don't have that problem :)
You are great!!!
Just reading about coke makes me want some. I never stopped drinking it, but that is how it works for me - someone mentions it, I want it!
Funny thing about you saying not to see 4 Christmases makes me want to see it more! I'm just rebellious like that! Ha
So as you know I got your for Christmas Exchange! yay for me!! Send me a list! I have to purchase only your truest desires! Let me know what you want! Brian wants me to send you this dark chocolate he just found, supposed to be the best in the country, I may send that anyway, but let me know what you WANT. Chocolate doesn't count as a present.
I've always thought you WERE sticking your boobs out!!!
That last comment wasn't me. It was jealousy talking. I'm flat as a pancake and walk like Shaggy.
Ah, the Grover Girls. They always have a way of making me smile!
Thanks for your comment Sarah (so eloquently spoken). I have the same boob posture problem (sorry Liz). When you've got them...you don't want them! You should see my Quasimodo hump!
I have the worst posture ever. It's sad, but true. Slumpy McSlumps-alot, that's me!
I really wanted to see Four Christmases! Are you sure it's bad? I mean, I don't even know what chick flicks you like? How can I know if I should believe you or not? Sigh. Maybe I'll stick with Australia. Hugh Jackman...mmm...
(I could really go for a Dr Pepper right now. Too bad the cafe is closed.)
Jen you are a great Mom. With some kids no matter how much attention you give them it is never enough. Just keep trying and do the best you can. Don't let guilt impeed you. Mother's guilt is completely useless.
All the married girls I know like Jacob because they know what being in a real relationship is like. All my single friends love Edward. I think he acts like he's her dad and it totally creeps me out.
Laura, you are SO RIGHT! You insightful little minx. I hate the controlling aspect of Edward and I hate the obsessive-bordering-on-ridiculous relationship with Bella. Mostly my problem there is with Bella. She sure does act 17, doesn't she?
Ok, Kimberly. "Four Christmases" just doesn't deliver. I don't know why. I laughed at stuff, but all together? Nah. It was almost like they were going for a "Just Married" kinda romp but fell short. Speaking of ol' Vince, have you seen "Fred Claus?"
So I haven't seen Fred Claus. I... only vaguely remember the previews. Hmm. I do like Vince Vaughn, though. He amuses me with is dry delivery.
Re: Edward vs. Jacob. I never really liked Jacob, but Edward and Bella's relationship drives me insane. She has no life outside of Edward. What kind of marriage is that? Come on, Bella! Every girl needs friends, no matter how much she loves her boy!
I agree. Edward and Bella's relationship is totally rediculous. They are addicted to each other. Neither of them are their own person. It is extremely irritating.
