Diabetes

God how I hate that word, LOL you would think after almost 3 years I would be ok with it but I am not. I am still struggling and frustrated with it.

But last week I needed to get my meds refilled and I saw a new doctor, I really like her she changed my meds around just a bit and wow what a difference it has made.

Adding to the med change I am thinking more about my food I planned healthy breakfast and lunches for this week and haven't once felt deprived and my sugar has remained in the normal range for days. Now if I added exercise to the mix it really might get low. Who knows maybe I could really keep myself under control with diet and exercise.

So this week my breakfast is Apples and cinnamon oatmeal and 4 slices of bacon

Lunch is baked sesame chicken and low carb mac and cheese with broccoli

I brought a peach for snack and am only drinking water if I can help it.

Need to come up with next weeks plan.

WE ARE GOING TO DISNEY!!!!

So for my 5 year anniversary with my company my boss has decided to give me an all expenses paod week long trip to Disney. And he wants us to go this Christmas at my 4.5 year anniversary, LOL

Amanda just went for 3 days in May and loved it really wants Haley to get to go so this is awesome. I just booked us 7 night 8 day trip staying in a disney resort with all meals included and park hopper passes. I am thinking we will have plenty of time to see all we want and the best part is it will all be FREE and we spend Christmas together at Disney.

I think I am more excited than Haley this will be our first time. I can't wait to see how many rides we can get her on.

Couponing Again

Yes I used to do the grocery game and loved it!! But found I wasted a ton of stuff so I stopped altogether. Of course I also felt like I was a tad bit addicted, so needed a break.

Well today I did 2 deal which I will post soon and I am so happy about, glad to be getting back to it, but going to keep it within reason this time.

The Time Traveler's Wife

Wow I should have trusted the Netflix rating on this it said a 2 stars for me and boy was it right. This movie had potential, hot guy cute girl, the story itself was wacked though. It was so hard to follow and I think if someone had really sat down and thought this out it could have bee n a great movie, but it wasn't.

There is no real sex scenes to worry about in it, very little cussing, naked man from behind many time, but that's about it. But it really is not a good movie.

Slumdog Millionaire

Ok I was pretty sure I could care less to see this film I thought it was a dance movie? But Netflix and their awesome ratings said I would think it was 4.5 stars so I said what the heck and got it. Oldest DD and I watched it and we both liked it.

The story is about a slumdog (a kid who grew up in the slums) who goes on India's Who wants to be an Millionaire and starts winning, he is turned over to the police and the movie follows him telling the police the story of his life that helped him know the answer to the question.

The movie is very sad, and it is hard to watch these little kids loose their mother and be alone on the streets, but it was a very good movie and I can see now how it won so many awards in 2008.

Post Grad

This is a really cute movie, Our whole family watched it one funny almost sex scene, one talk about safe sex but other than that a really good clean film.

The main character set goals for her life, do great in school get scholarships, go to college get out and get a high paying job. Of course it doesn't go that way. Once out of college she finds it hard to find any job, it is sad but I would think very realistic to today's society. Her family is pretty funny and there are a lot of laughs, this isn't a great movie but a good one to rent and watch.

Netflix streaming Woo hoo

So I am a netflix user love it and have form the start. I love to be able to stream videos too, but only on the computer. I was so excited this winter when Netflix announced that this spring they would be offering free streaming through Nintendo Wii's. And in my email yesterday I got notice that my streaming disc will arrive Tuesday (TODAY!) I am so excited. I can re watch lots of my favorite old movies. LOL

Up in the Air

Ok so I saw this over the weekend, dh and I both watched it. I am not a Clooney fan and this is an ok movie. Some parts made me laugh like the frequent traveler cards as the business I am in all our pilots have tons of them.

But I really thought it was a story about learning about love but it wasn't. Not really sure what the story was it was for sure worth renting but I wouldn't have wanted to see it in theater. There was no real bad language, one after sex scene where you do see a woman naked from behind and 2 different couples have 1 night stands. Not a kids movie.

Crazy Heart

Ok call me clueless but not really seeing how this was Oscra worthy. It was an alright movie very predictable. Jeff Bridges plays a good drunk thats about it. Don't understand the love story between the him and the young girl.

I felt like I have seen this story before it wasn't beautifully set, the cast not that impressive and story just ok. I hope someone else sees this and can enlighten me as to why it won Oacars?

I saw this movie with Jeff Bridges and Justin Timberlake. This movie was really good not Oscar Worthy but cute, funny and Jeff Bridges does a great job acting in it. I really recommend renting it, just a really cute story, Justin TImberlake isn't the worlds best actor but he does a good enough job in it.

Edge of Darkness

Ok sorry I have been slow at getting these out, busy couple of weeks. Good things going on at our house just take some getting used to.

So Edge of Darkness is not the typical Mel Gibson directed movie and it shows. I love almost anything by Mel. Braveheart, The Patriot, Apacolypto but this is no where near those. It is a cop type drama about a cop who's daughter gets gunned don and he is out to find the killer. Very typical, very violent and just an ok flick.

Oldest dd watched this there isn't any sex scenes, but lots of violence and some that happens so fast it makes you jump, think it will be a movie you might watch and forget by the next day. Sorry Mel you need to do better next time.

Precious

Wow I can totally see why this young lady was nominated for an Oscar. I can not imagine being able to portray the pain she does so well.

This movie was a very hard one to watch. Sexual abuse is something I am all to familiar with and it strikes a cord in me. This girl you can't help but feel bad for, how could a mother allow such horrible things to be done to her child. She just stood there and let it happen? Then also how can a parent who is suppose to love their child beat them treat them like a slave. Blame them for taking their man, when the child had been raped by her own father.

I guess I feel Monique deserved and Oscar too because I tell you I hated the site of her in this movie she played the villain so well. It is sad to know that in this world there are children going through this same hell. Children overlooked by the school systems, overlooked by everyone, needing help. My heart went out to this child.

This film has a lot of physical violence, one rape scene, and a ton of bad language. I watched this alone no children dh didn't think he wanted to watch it either. It was a good movie one worth seeing, but it is a heart breaker.

The Lovely Bones

This is a good movie disturbing in many ways and as a parent something I would hope to never experience.

The film is set in the 70's and I am so not of fan of that time, I was only 7 when we got into the 80's and I prefer them over the 70's. Anyway the actors were really good in this really made you feel the emotions they were going through.

The story is about a 14 year old girl who gets murdered and instead of going straight to heaven she is caught in this in between world trying to help her father find her murderer. The part that got me the worst was the murderer is the neighbor and when she meets up with him you can really tell, she senses something isn't right. She has that little voice in the back of her head saying umm no, and yet she doesn't listen.

I think Peter Jackson did a great job making you feel the emotions of this poor family. I can not imagine the horror of loosing a child and then to also never know what happened to them because a body is never found. It must be the worst pain in the world.

No sex scenes, minimal cussing, no violence, but I didn't think it was appropriate for my 8 years old, 16 year old thought it was ok. I think it is worth seeing.

Avatar

First off Avatar was robbed, I have seen both this and Hurtlocker and sorry but I didn't think Hurtlocker was that good.

Avatar is amazing...beautifully filmed the way they created this other world was awesome. Although it doesn't seem weird like your normal Sci-fi Star Trek movies. The story line is good you really feel for the people and wonder how as Humans we could be so cruel just for a mineral, but look at what we did to the American Indians.

Some mild cussing Sigorney Weavers character uses GD a lot, no F bombs. No real sex scene, the violence is not your blood and gore type. All 4 of us love this movie it is for sure one you want to own. And James Cameron should sue the academy and get back his Oscar.

Upcoming reviews

So many movies to watch so little time.

Precious
Edge of Darkness
Crazy Heart
The Lovely Bones
Sherlock Holmes
The Tooth Fairy
Valentines Day

These should be coming soon!

The Boys are Back

Boy is this ever a sad one, a very good movie though. Clive Owen is great eye candy and you can't help but feel so bad for him being thrown into single parenthood after the sudden death of his wife.

This film is set in Australia and is beautifully filmed. I loved seeing Artie all dressed up for school in his uniform, reminded me of my friend Leisa and the pictures she has shared of her boys first days at school in those same uniforms.

I didn't cry during this movie and I am a big cryer, but it is full of sadness but you have hope dad gets things together and they will do alright. It was for sure worth renting, not sure I would have cared to see it in the theater. But one you want to add to the queue.

Law Abding Citizen

Ok so this is a really good movie, but be warned can be hard to watch. There is some pretty gruesome violence in it, as well as a ton of bad language.

I think this movie could be a great debate movie because I can see people taking sides with the Father or with the judicial system.

So Gerard Butler is a man who's wife is raped and murdered in front of him as well as his little girl. The men are caught and the worst offender please down to 3rd degree murder to send the other guy to death row. Gerard's Lawyer Jamie Foxx thinks this is a good deal, Butler doesn't see it that way.

10 years later he starts his master plan to make all who were responsible for his wife and daughters death pay, including some people not directly involved but are involved in the corrupt judicial system.

The violence is pretty bad the rape scene is implied not shown, there isn't any sex. My oldest dd (16) watched it with dh and I and I didn't feel like it was too much for her.

All About Steve

Ok so watched this last night and it is really funny! If you are looking for something you don't have to put much thought into it is great. Sandra Bullock is amazing as this quirky weird chick who doesn't realize she is stalking this poor guy.

My favorite line from the movie, "If you have to stalk someone you love they probably weren't yours to begin with."

This isn't stupid funny like Dumb or dumber but it is LOL funny.

There is minimal cussing one weird sort of sex scene, in the first 20 minutes after that scene I would have been fine with youngest dd watching it. Oldest dd and dh all liked it.

The Hurt Locker

Ok so this movie is winning tons of awards up against Avatar, which I will review in a few days. We watched it last night and not really sure why it is winning so many awards? It was a good movie, definitely worth seeing.

It is a war movie and very intense and hard to watch at some points, it focuses on a bomb squad. I learned some things I never knew people did with bombs. I can not imagine how scary it is for those guys in Iraq.

Cussing was a bit much, but they are military it is expected, violence is a bit much but again it is a war movie. No sex scenes but they do talk some vulgar things but nothing too terrible. My almost 16 year old watched it and I didn't see anything to alarm me. My 8 year old did not watch it.

Terminator Salvation

Ok so I would love to tell you how this is an awesome movie with hot men like Christian Bale and Sam Worthington. But I can't because this is the second damn time I have feel asleep while watching this movie.

The family loved it, but seriously I make it about 30 minutes in and I am out like a light. Of course I woke up at 9PM and then couldn't sleep until about 2AM, make for a not so happy momma today. And I am going in for some blood work today so I have to fast from 9AM till 3:30 so I am starving to boot. Will be glad when this day is over.

And the Beef Stroganoff from last night not really digging it so I won't bother posting the recipe.

The Houdini wine opener

So we got this a few years ago for Christmas either from my parents or the In laws. My husband and I are not big drinkers but occasionally I like wine and my husband is always around to open said wine. He can open it with any type of opener. Me on the other hand not so much.

So this morning as I was preparing food for the crock pot, working mom you know I have to plan food ahead of time. I got out the wine since I bought a cheap wine I assumed there would be no cork. Um I was wrong even $4.00 wine can have a cork. So the husband is gone to work what ever will I do?

Oh yeah I have a Houdini so I pull this bad boy out and stare at it for a few, then I start trying to use it and within several minutes I have the cork out. Go me!!!! Of course I have no clue how to get the cork off the Houdini I just left it in the sink for the husband to take care of when he gets home.

Hoping the recipe I am making turns out good it took the entire bottle of red wine. If it was good I will post the recipe tomorrow. If not good boy did I ever waste some meat!

Autumn

This is baby Autumn, my niece. She was born 12/1/09 at 3 pounds 13 ounces. She is currently a little over 7 pounds and just as cute as she can be.

We babysit Autumn on Saturday for about 3 hours and it was so nice to get that baby fix. They just smell so awesome and even fussing you just want to make it all better for them. I even held her while eating my dinner which is something I haven't done in a long time.

I look forward to getting to babysit her again soon, my youngest wants her to be able to get up and do something. LOL

Invictus

We watched a couple of movies this weekend. I won't even bother rating Gamer even with hotty Gerard Butler in it is sucked.

But Invictus on the other hand was a great movie. I love Clint Eastwood films along with Mel Gibson ones they have talent at acting and producing. Invictus stars Matt Damon and Morgan Freeman playing Nelson Mandela.

I think the one things I got from the movie was the desire to know more about Mandela. If the movie is really following actual events he seemed like a really neat man. His desire to have Africa be peaceful and all his people to get along and using Rugby as a way to bring a nation together.

There is very minimal cussing, no sex and the only violence is on the Rugby field. My 8 year old watched it and liked it, I don't see it being one she wants to watch over and over, but she made it through. My husband, oldest dd and I all thought it was a very good movie.

Survivor Season 20

So we interrupt these movie reviews to talk about my one obsession. Survivor, for years we didn't get CBS so I had to listen to people talk about Survivor and could never watch it. But then wonderful Netflix had many seasons on DVD. So we had several months were all we watched were seasons of Survivor. I stayed glued to my seat and could watch episode after episode.

Then we got HDTV and low and behold we had CBS I was so excited I actually did dippity doos around the living room. So since that day I don't miss Survivor. Last night was episode 1 of season 20 Heroes versus Villains and I thought 8PM would never get here. Once it did my family of 4 were glued to the set, with the understanding you talk you leave.

The shows starts and the first challenge was awesome and I literally jumped from my seat yelling at people on the tv screen, scaring poor Mojo to death. I guess I resembled a man watching football, both children stared at me as if I grew a second head.

Anyway I won't give details because I have Aussie fiends and I don't want to spoil it for them., but if you love Survivor this is going to be a season you do not want to miss. I was a little disappointed that Richard Hatch isn't there I would have loved to see how he handled Russell. But hopefully Boston Rob, Pavarti and Coach can keep Russell on his toes. I of course want a hero to win preferably JT.

2012

Yes we are some movie watching fools lately.

2012 was a 3 hour movie and that always scares me because I tend to sleep through some 2 hour movies, but this one did keep me awake the whole time and it was worth watching. It is very unrealistic.

The part that scares me that could happen is the government knowing the end of the world was coming but to eliminate world panic they just don't tell anyone. Then they sale places on the Ships to survive to the highest bidder, of course that pisses me off because my family would have died.

So I would say if you are looking for something to watch one weekend this will be good, my youngest 8 didn't watch it, although there was no sex, no physical violence and very minimal cussing we just felt the world sliding into the ocean and millions of people dying wasn't something she could handle.

My Sisters Keeper

So of course anyone who sees the previews knows it is a sad film and it is, I didn't cry alot but some. I felt so bad for everyone in this film, the mom, the sick daughter, the donor daughter, the whole dang family.

I think it is films like this that makes me notice how lucky I am to have 2 beautiful healthy children. We take it for granted, I have never had to deal with any terrible sicknesses in my children and quite frankly I am not sure I could. They mean so much to me I just don't know that I could ever accept they were dying until it was over. I would want beyond everything to move heaven and earth to make them well.

But I also think maybe that is harder on the person dying to keep giving hope when there isn't any, maybe just helping them accept the end and make peace with it would be best. Not sure I could do it.

The actors all did great jobs in this and I really would love to read the book now because I am sure the movie was missing many things. The sick daughter having sex with her sick boyfriend could have been ommitted as anything having to do with teens having sex, makes me want to crawl in a hole somehwere and not admit that I have a teenager too.

But a very good not make you feel good movie.

Taking Chance

So this is an HBO movie starring Kevin Bacon as a Marine whos job is to make analysis of the casualties in Iraq and tell people how many soldiers they should send back into to Iraq to replace the ones who have died.

He feel guilty for taking a desk job to stay home with his family when soldiers are out there dying he feels like he should be there too, and watching the casualties list day in and day out gets to him. One day he sees a man from his hometown and decides to be the bodies escort.

I didn't even know the military did that but it was very interesting to see how respectfully they ship the bodies home, clean them along with all their personal effects, then this marine went with the body to be delivered to the family. It is something I have never heard about so I found this short movie only 1 hour and 10 minutes very nice. At the end you learn the body he is taking home was only 20 years old. I think that was the hardest part of the movie the realization that a young man not even old enough to drink a beer died serving his country.

So my take is see Taking Chance almost no bad language and no violence just a very sad story.

Dear John the book versus the Movie

Yep it is a sappy love story written by Nicholas Sparks. Not as good as The Notebook in my opinion, but worth seeing. I recommend you not read the book first and once you have seen the movie and read the book you think of them as 2 entirely different things, because they are not near the same.

I took oldest dd to see this she will be 16 next month and thinks Channing Tatum is to die for. Not sure if that is the current teenage phrase or not but I used it. The book doesn't end happy and once dd read it she asked me to read it and I had to agree not the happy ending like in The Notebook.

The movie however ends totally different the way I would have wanted the book to end. The scenery is beautiful it is filmed in Charleston, SC the actors and actresses are really good. So all in all it was worth paying the money to see.

What to Blog?

Well lets see I have been really putting some thought into this question lately. I sit and think what am I passionate about? Nothing I can think of, isn't that sad? Lets see I am a wife, a mother (not a very good one I fear) an Office Manager (not a very good one I fear), a part time student (I get by, LOL)

I read my friends blogs, http://momocracy.blogspot.com/ she is passionate about Politics and the most organized person I think I know. http://thekitchwitch.blogspot.com/ she is passionate about food and blogs with the funniest stories along with recipes that are beyond my capability to cook. You see from her I learned I am the ultimate White Trash Cook, LOL

So I like to read and I love to watch movies, so maybe that is something I am passionate about so I think I may go that route with my blog, I may not make you cry or laugh but maybe I can give you some ideas for that next rainy Sunday and what to watch. We'll see.

Freaking Freezing

So I live in NC, not the NC mountains the foothills and to me there is no place as beautiful. We are a few hours from the mountains or the beaches. But this winter I am seriously wondering what is up. We have been in the freezing temps every night and morning for over a week now, most days the high is like 38. And we got 5 inches of snow about 2 weeks ago and they are calling for snow again tonight.

Where is my 50 degree winter the one I can skirt by with wearing a jacket with a short sleeved shirt underneath. I need warmth!!!!!
