Gosh, is it Tuesday already?? What the heck? Why am I losing large chunks of time all the time? And DON’T say it’s cuz I’m old. Cuz then I’ll be forced to smack you over the head with my handbag, you young whippersnapper.

So the sixth Harry Potter movie comes out tonight at midnight. I want to see this movie. We’ve kinda slacked off in the drive-in department lately, mostly because nothing much good was playing in June so we got out of the habit of going. The last we saw? Transformers. We didn’t even go see Ice Age 3. I think the general attitude was: “Meh.” Which, yeah… who really wants to see Ice Age 3? I sure don’t. But that’s never stopped us before. We usually go to the drive-in just to GO. What movie is playing is sort of beside the point.
But I really wanna see Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I’m not one of those quasi Harry Potter fans who don’t even bother to read the books. I read them all! More than once, even! I’d like to see it tonight at midnight but… yeah no. Unless I took Harry with me. And he has school so that wouldn’t work so hot with a 2 hour and 33 minute movie on a school night that starts AFTER midnight.
The best option is going to the drive-in tomorrow night. Also a school night, but with a movie starting roughly around 9, would be home slightly sooner. So what if Harry has school the next day? So what if Kile has work? This is HARRY POTTER. This is bigger than school and work.
Damnit, I’m putting my foot down. We’re going. And that’s final. Just suck it up, boys.

Our big Disney Extravaganza is next month. Like in WEEKS. It’s getting close. I’m still scared, but mostly about the traveling to Florida component. I think the rest is going to be a blast and a half. But two toddlers and luggage and car seats and strollers and airport security? BE STILL MY HEART. Has anyone done an air trip like this before and if so, HOW. We’re flying Southwest. On the way out, we stop but don’t have to get off the plane which has GOT to be a plus, right?
I have a feeling this will be the death of me.

I think Evie just ate something quite possibly non-edible. Uhm…

The overwatering of the grass continues! Kile is starting to think maybe he should turn down the sprinklers a hair. You think? There’s almost seven hours between the noon and evening waterings and the ground doesn’t even get 100% dry. And that’s through the hottest part of the day!
The water conservation police are SO gonna have our asses.

My left hand is misshapen and sore. I’m turning into a crone. I blame the knitting.

And yet, I insist that I am NOT OLD.
Oh and GET OFF MY LAWN, punks!
