Twilight the Movie

We have less than 75 days left until the movie. I am running down to Memphis (he he...I have been bit by a vampire)-okay, driving down to Memphis for my sister/neice's birthday. The movie comes out on her birthday. On Twilightmoms.com there is a message board with a forum called Bella's Kitchen. It has some pretty cool recipes listed.

It has inspired me for dinner that night. I was planning on making the Vampire Soup (funny earlier this year I posted the recipe for crockpot vampire chicken-which is awesome-and that is in this forum) and the bloody mary bread.

The bloody mary bread is for the bread machine and also has vodka in it. Seeing as I am not "lushy" I have included a link for subsituting alcohol in a recipe. Vodka is at the very bottom.

I also included a list of how much alcohol remains when you cook it. Even after cooking something for 2 1/2 hrs, there is still a little left. So when people think that it goes away and that it is okay to cook with alcohol, think again!

I remember this blog entry from Ebay. It really was listed on Ebay and it had me rolling in the floor - and also feeling sorry for this poor mom. I have one who is wild, but 6? Anyway, I wanted to add this because it is so funny and I just love humor!

Edward-itis

I found this link while I was on a forum at Twilightmoms.com. It is too funny!

I don't know why the books are addicting, but they are. I have read the series at least 3 times within a month. It is making it so very hard hoping and wishing that Stephenie Meyer will release Midnight Sun. I think that it will only add to the addiction. Hopefully everyone is sending in their support for Stephenie Meyer to release the book. I am pretty sure that Midnight Sun will give me the closure I needed from Breaking Dawn. That was the issue I had with Breaking Dawn - no closure! There was not enough Bella and Edward and the sweet relationship...the relationship that caused me not to put the book down when my son wanted me to read to him
( I wonder if it would be wrong to read him Twilight? That way I could continue reading the
book and he really doesn't listen to me anyway.........oh, I guess that would not be good!
"Fine Jonah, bring me the I-Spy book!"
Ha, he spends most of the time looking for the pictures and there is not that much
to read! *snicker* *snicker* .........)
and feeding my child peanut butter and jelly sandwiches so I can put him to bed by 7:30 pm so I could return to the book. With Breaking Dawn, I wanted to have more of the Bella and Edward after they dealt with the Volturi (speaking of, did anyone else notice Vladimir from Romania? Vladimir the impaler was the real person who inspired Dracula).

Twilight Series by Stephenie Meyer

If you have not checked out Stephenie Meyer's website, you might want to check it out. The release of "Midnight Sun" is on hold.

stepheniemeyer.com

It is sad that people cannot be trusted. I just hate that the fans have to be punished with not being able to read the whole thing. But I understand that she is upset. I would be very upset also if I trusted someone. So hopefully she will go ahead and release it in the future.

Here is a cool website for mothers who love the Twilight series.

Single Mother

I am a single mother to a wonderful 3 year old. I take care of him mainly by myself. His father only gets aprox. 3-1/2 days a month with him which is just enough time to mess up my son's routine. So it seems like-well really I am-the sole caregiver. My family lives in another state so I don't have a huge support system here. It makes it hard and I found this article which had such a sweet poem. If you are a single mother (Sorry dads-you could probably just mentally change the mother to father-there are many wondeful single dads out there who also do such a wonderful job and don't really get the credit they deserve! You are awesome too!) So here is the link to read the article http://single-parenting.families.com/blog/this-single-mothers-day

Right now, my son will be going to play therapy. It is sad that he has to go through this. My ex and I have been divorced since August 2007. My son is actually pretty good despite all that has happened. But he is having anxiety. I have to take my son to daycare every morning when I go to work and he holds on to my leg and won't let go. He will not go to sleep in his room because he wants to sleep wherever I am at. If I am on the couch watching TV, he has to sleep there. If I am in the kitchen, he wants to be in the floor. I have been really lucky that he has not become aggressive during this time. Some children tend to become aggressive when they are stressed. This is another article that is good to read. But I also feel that play therapy is a wonderful way to help them. Our play therapist's office is calming. She has very soft, calming music playing. The lights are really bright. And of course there are millions of toys. Play really can tell a lot about what a child is thinking. So anyway, here is the link http://single-parenting.families.com/blog/misbehavior-as-a-way-of-processing-stress-and-anxiety
