Ebeth's 4 and no more

Movies that mean something to me in no particular order other than my random thoughts: Dirty Dancing: This movie is still one of my top fav movies. I honestly don't remember who I saw it with for the first time, I am pretty sure I was a teenager for sure. Either way I would wear heels and dance in my room to the music dreaming that it was me.  finale Pretty Woman: Another funny choice considering the plot of the movie... but still I always dreamed about the fairy tale night in shining armor so the end when he "rescues" her well it stayed with me. Course her answer to his question "What happens after he rescues her?" "She rescues him right back.", always felt pretty lame. click As Good As It Gets: This movie is NOT on many people's list I know. But it is a deep thinker and for some reason the love in the end gets to me. Independence Day: I know NOT a love story at all though the President and his wife stuff is pretty sweet, specific...

Little reminders that life is in the LITTLE stuff: #4 Randomly started singing, "In my church God always sends ... Boys and girls to be my friends." If that wasn't a reinforcement pushing the sing songy tunes for the 2 and 3's is totally worth it then I do not know what is. During devotion time littlest insists on reading her Bible. While telling us the story she said, "Monkeys eat bananas and squirrels eat cocunut." To which husband asked her where in the real Bible that verse can be found. #2 retorted, "Right Here!" pointing at a random scripture. While watching Toy Story 3 together (Daddy for the first time), we all snuggled. At the very end credits and all Joey says, "Those clouds are so FAKE!". LOL kid as if the entire movie is not fake! Then when I made my rounds to say goodnight daddy was snuggled in bed next to Michael. I tried to squeeze in and asked Michael if he and I (daddy) were like Mr. and Mrs. Potato head madly in l...

Tonight was a strange evening. All in all a good one, but it seemed so surreal too. For example being the last day of school before a week break the kids themselves were crazy, but the closer to dismissal I found myself  giddy. Truly why is it so darn exciting since the reality is I STILL have to work my church job (in fact extra hours on my normal "day" off Saturday) and also dispatch this coming week. On top of that I need to plan out the remainder of time till Christmas break AND put together an extension "binder" for a K student. Meanwhile aspire to spend quality time with my family/niece and nephew on 5 out of the 9 days till I head back. Yes folks there really shouldn't be a joyous feeling cause the work is the same. Alas, I suppose the majority of my days can be spent scheduling however I want and that is the true source of happiness. Back to the flashback part.... littlest and I were jamming to great music in the short ride from G-ma's house to our...
