Friday we leave for LA. And by we, I mean A and I. No E. Yikes. We will be away from him for 6 nights. Originally I thought the break would be so nice. Now, I can’t help but think of how much time I will spend missing E. Seriously. Have I become ‘that’ mom?

I just finished up Naptime is the New Happy Hour by Stefanie Wilder Taylor. I read her previous books a few months back. I admit it. I enjoy the cynical mommy books. Makes me feel validated when I happen to have similar thoughts. This is the quote in the book I was able to relate to most…
“You thought it would be different, right? You thought once the first deliriously draining, sleep-deprived, sex-deprived first year was behind you, you would get back to some semblance of normalcy, right? Not so fast my friend. In fact, let’s all have a good laugh at how delusional we were.”
Seriously. I thought that it would be hard for a little while, then get easier. It hasn’t. It has changed. But it hasn’t gotten easier. It’s gotten to be a ton harder in completely different ways. Yea, I was delusional.
Our 3rd movie to watch was Yankee Doodle Dandy. I had no idea what to expect. Thankfully.
First, it’s in black and white. For some reason, I have a hard time accepting movies in black and white. Admittedly, when I get into them, I don’t realize it, but I have a block for this sort of thing.
Secondly, it’s a musical. I enjoy some musicals. Sound of Music for one. But this one, not so much. It was such a disjointed movie and very difficult to understand. This being said by a super fast talked who most people struggle to understand.
I just did not enjoy it. We have been rating the movies and this has gotten the lowest rating. I know, I know. We’ve only rated 3, but I am sure it will stay down towards the bottom of our list.
Yankee Doodle Dandy, how did you make it into the top 100?
