Tom
and Jerry is by far my favorite cartoon ever. I remember when I first
started cheering for Jerry mouse when I was a kid. I always wanted him
to get the best of that no good Tom. Now I am a parent with children of
my own and I still watch Tom and Jerry on my satellite TV from www.tvbydirect.com.
My
kids enjoy the cartoon also. My son like Tom. I don't know why, he
just always wants to see Tom catch Jerry. My daughter has different
favorite than either one of us, she like Spike. Spike is the dog that
makes appearances on the show. He usually helps Jerry and chases Tom.
Tom
usually is trying to eat Jerry. Jerry in turn is usually trying to
steal food from the!
fridge. Jerry mouse lives in a hole in the wall and often times is
interrupted while he is sleeping by something Tom is doing. If this is
the case, Jerry usually tries to go after Tom the cat to make him stop
whatever it is he is doing. One episode Tom kept Jerry up with his
playing of music while he was trying to get a female cat to be his
lady.
Tom and Jerry is a fun cartoon that can be enjoyed by children and parents alike, it is well worth watching.
In the course of one week I got a job, did arts and crafts with the kids every day, and got a chance to do Ian's sight words and math books with him. I got almost all the laundry done, and I even cleaned out a lot of my office room too so it looks more like and office and not a store-it-all-here room.
Friday began my formal training, and it's all done on-line. I had computer issues, and then I wasn't formally added into a chat room for official training, so I sat around almost all day wondering what was going on. I was freaking out a bit because it was like I was sitting on the edge of the very thing I have been dreaming of for 2 years, yet wasn't allowed to actually participate in it!
I got everything resolved though, so it looks like Monday will be the "real" day I start. I'm busy listening to all my training material again (there's a lot to learn on their system with regards to templates, software, and account specifics), and I'm making index cards to tape to my desk to help remind me of shortcuts on my first day.
Last night I went to see Eat Pray Love with a good friend of mine, and I wasn't too impressed. I think it was had to make a book like that "big screen" worthy, and a lot of the things I thought were important to the main characters self-discovery were either not put in the movie or were unable to be put in. I think that made the whole "experience" seem a lot less moving and amazing, yet I understand that they had to draw in "regular" people who aren't interested in the amazing outcome of mastering meditation or finding a piece of your soul you didn't even know existed. It was worth seeing though, and I plan to finish the book (I was re-reading it again before the movie came out but ran out of time), because this time around I'm getting even more out of it than the first time I read it.
I'm excited to go to Church today. My favorite Practitioner is speaking! He always delivers straight from the heart, and I leave there feeling completely refreshed.
My movie night was amazing! We got there at 7:30pm for the 9pm showing, and there was already a line. Instead of eating like we had planned, we stood in line so that we could be sure to get a seat. We got OK seats, then got some food for "dinner." We spent the net hour or so laughing and talking, then we watched Twilight. (I have to say, it was much better on the big screen!) After that we had another hour to wait, and then it was time for New Moon.
I loved it. I loved loved LOVED it! I have no idea why I thought it was so good, but it was. I even saw it again yesterday afternoon with Sean, LOL! He liked it too, so I know that it wasn't just me and my bouncing hormones.
I AM HOME!!!!! I missed the kids so much by the last day that I thought I was going to burst.
It was a long trip (1,400 miles and 6 hospitals in a week), but my co-worker and I had a lot of laughs during the week. We have a lot in common and share the same humor, so it made the week got by pretty quickly. I even got to sneak in the Harry Potter movie while we were in Tallahassee, so that was fantastic.
Still, it's great to be home. I'm exhausted right now, so I think I'm going to bed pretty soon. I'm going to have Ian sleep with me tonight so I can hold his hand...
I went to see Slumdog Millionaire at The Tampa Pitcher Show tonight with my mom and dad. The movie was pretty good, and it really made me appreciate America. I give thanks every day that I have been blessed to live here, but when I see movies like this which have to do with the slums and horrors of everyday living for these people, it makes my heart beat a little faster and my soul hurt a little bit to think that there are so many places in the world where people are hurting every day of their lives...
