Mom got bitten by 'Breaking Dawn'!...

OK...so I really did slack off this weekend. I waited in line at Walmart on Friday night so I could be one of the first to get Stephanie Meyer's fourth and final book of the 'Twilight' saga, 'Breaking Dawn'. I got home Friday night and started reading it right away. I love these books so much but when the plot starts getting intense I can't help myself. I can't stand not knowing what is going to happen. Then when I do stop reading I sit there and think about it. This last book is just great, scary, weird and crazy but so so good! I thought that I just need to get it read and over with so that I don't have to worry about it anymore. Well...lets just say...it took over my weekend! I didn't even go hang out with my friend Desi because I was just enthralled. Sorry by the way! Anyway...I was a little obsessed, to say the least. Jeff was awesome though and my kids were as cooperative as I could expect. I had to stop every now and then so that Jeff didn't go crazy with entertaining the kids on his own but I was on a roll. Well...last night (Sunday/Monday) at about 12:45 a.m. I finished the book. I am sad now that it is done but at least life can go on. I am so happy with how this book series turned out. I think maybe the best I have ever read. I am excited for the movie now. Really excited actually!




I even have red eyes like a vampire. I know I am retarded. I was taking the red eye out and decided that I should leave it in to add to my insanity. I know I am a goober. I would like to think I am just passionate...!

Well...because I was so 'bitten' by my book...lets just say our normal family weekend was a little...off!

My family wouldn't get out of my face... that didn't make reading very easy but...I tried to share my attention as best as I could...I think Jeff was the biggest whiner!...

I got a bit annoyed sometimes but I expected that I would get over it...Jeff really was awesome at letting me have this weekend to devote to reading. Thanks Jeff! I love you...I will make it up to you...I promise...wink! wink!
Jeff got crazy with his facial hair too...you all saw his beard that he was growing...I liked it until he started adding a mustache...I don't enjoy kissing a porky-pine! When he did shave off the beard he went a little crazy with his side burns. I am glad to say that he is back to normal now... but I think he might try the beard thing again in the winter...he must be thinking that it makes more sense when it is cold...what?...a winter coat for his face? Hmm...

Kohen got so desperate for food. Ha ha! He never is quite sure what he wants...he just wants to sit there and play in the fridge. It is pretty funny though to look at. He just loves to eat so much. I think I was busy reading so when I came to get a snack he decided to show me that he was hungry too. Smart boy!
Adi got inventive with her pretending! She wanted a cape so she could be SUPER ADI! She is getting so smart and has such an imagination. She turned into quite the chatter box this weekend. Having an opinion on everything. If she didn't have much to say she would just repeat what Me or Jeff had just said and then add her two sense. Crazy kid! She would come find me, if I was reading in my room, and poke her head in every now and then and just ask," You okay momma?" I would say yes and she would run away. Seriously...crazy kid! I don't know who she got that from!...Hee hee!

I don't think Jeff would agree but I had a great weekend...thanks again babe for letting me go crazy into my book. I am so happy and sad that I was able to finish it. Once again if there is anyone who wants to read something great and have an escape you should pick up these books. They really are amazing! Woo hoo! I am crazy and am not afraid to share with whoever wants to be crazy with me! Just one favor...if you do read it and want to talk to someone about it...call me! I love talking about it anytime anywhere!...

I can just hear Adi saying ... "SUPER ADI!!!" Such a clever girl. You need to video tape her in her robot voice! Cracks me up.
And that red eyed photo of you is totally cute ... and fits perfectly!
Sadly I was working all day Saturday and completely exhausted Sunday ... and trying to catch up on everything I didn't do on Sat. So ... I'm SERIOUSLY behind in the reading dept. But I'll eventually finish! Just don't spoil any surprises for me! hehe!

Alright Juline, you know I'm not a big reader, but my mom gave me the first twilight book and I'm going to give it a go. So if I like it, then pretty soon I'll be able to talk to you about it.
