More ramblings

We just purchased the movie Reign Over Me. We really enjoyed it-except it made us cry. I would definitely recommend anyone watching it. Anyway-so we got this movie and we've watched it a few times. Well, as we were watching it at Matt's parents house last night it got me thinking. If I were to lose my family (Matt and the kids) in a tragic accident (like there is another kind when you lose your family) how would I be afterwards? Would I be able to eventually pull myself through and continue my life how it once was? Or would I be like Adam Sandler's character and just become some completely new person who is totally lost? Would I just get into some sort of funk where I forget everyone and everything in my life?

I think I would end up in a mix of the two, I guess. I know my world would be shattered. My children are my life. I don't spend much time without them in my presence and for them to be gone would just tear me to pieces. Matt is my best friend and without him I would definitely be completely lost. But I still would have (hopefully) my siblings and parents-who I know would eventually be able to bring me back to the 'real world'. I hope and pray I never have to go through anything like that, but it got me thinking.

I feel so bad for the families who's lives are shattered because of September 11, 2001 (I mention them particularly because in the movie Adam Sandler plays a 9/11 widower)-which of course does not just include the people that lost someone on that day but everyone that has lost someone in the war since then.

Now onto less serious stuff.

We are supposed to be signing the contract to get possession of the new house on the 20th of this month. YAY!! So exciting-yet so scary at the same time. We will hopefully be in the house this weekend or the beginning of next week to get started doing work on it shortly.

I still haven't started packing anything yet. I keep thinking about it-I just haven't done it. I don't really have any boxes to be packing stuff into though either. Hopefully we will be getting boxes this week or next. I really just want to get everything but the necessities packed RIGHT NOW. lol

We finally got a new filter for G1's humidifier (he tried to eat the old one) and we got a humidifier for our room. Now I can breathe when I wake up.

We got the girls' stockings for this year-just cheap ones (like the rest of them) and then hopefully next year I will get all of us ones to use every year. Well, I got their names on their stockings and went to find Matt, G1 and I's stockings. Can't find them ANYWHERE!!! Very frustrating. So, I guess I will be going back to the store to get 3 more cheap ones for this year. UGH! I had been putting all the ornaments and stockings in with the trees, but evidently forgot to do that last year or G1 found and took off with them. Either of those is possible.

We haven't had much snow or what not-but it's still be yucky (yes I said yucky) outside. Well, Matt just called to tell me that if I am going to be going to the store this evening I might want to go now because we are supposed to be getting 3-5 inches of snow later today. I just put the kids all down for a nap-no way am I waking them up to go to the store. So, hopefully the snow holds off until we can go later. Otherwise Matt will be going to the store for me in the morning.
