I looked at the calendar and realized May is almost gone! Almost over....how did this happen? I guess when you have two kids in elementary school coupled with Memphis in May and all the 0ther events going on in this town, it is easy to lose track of time.
Memorial Day weekend is over...I don't know about you, but I could have used another day off. :) I did get some rest, visited with family. I also got stuck on some of those long weekend tv show marathons. I know I am a few years behind, but after a few back to back hours of Jon and Kate Plus 8, I now have a new TV show to watch. Watching some of the early episodes and comparing it to the premiere this season...wow. What pressure 8 kids and a reality show must put on your life. I know life is tough enough with two kids and a full time job. Up until last night, all the shows I had seen had them making comments on the couch together as if they were a united couple, but It was pretty sad last night. They were each on the couch alone.
Is it the fame?
Is it 8 kids?
Were they already growing apart and it was just time to acknowledge it?
It's also hard not to compare your own marriage and family life with kids to theirs when you watch...both good and bad.
And as if there was nothing else going on this weekend, the Sci Fi channel had a real blast from the past...a Land of the Lost marathon. Yes, Holly, Will and Dad on a routine expedition....that's how the song went.....sure it was an attempt to promote the upcoming Will Ferrell movie of the same name. Not sure how that movie will be...how can you duplicate Grumpy, Dopey and Cha-ka? :) And in watching this show from 1974.......is so evident how special effects have changed! The most challenging part was trying to explain the Sleestacks to my kids. :) But what I can't remember about the show is...how did it end?
Did they ever escape the Land of the Lost?
Did they ever make it home?
Were they ever able to change clothes?
I can't remember....maybe we'll find out in the all new high budget movie version of Land of the Lost.
Ah, every thing old is new again. :)
