Mrs. G and other news

So, this past weekend was a wonderful. I was actually able to sit back and breath for a bit. On Saturday, we took Gabe to COSI. He had so much fun walking around and interacting with other children. He really enjoyed the frog exhibit and especially the fat bullfrogs. We went to the kidspace which is a romparoom type place that preschool age children and younger can play without the big kids taking over. Gabe had a ton of fun until a mean blonde older girl took his shopping cart away from him and made him fall flat on his face. Poor guy. Needless to say, we were done after that. Saturday night, Gabe spent the night at GG's and myself and Tim went out on the town. We had a nice dinner at Genji (Mama's favorite) and met Rob and Emily for drinks at Bar Louie's at Easton. 4 Martinis later, we called it a night and headed back to their place and watched some Twilight. Sunday, we went to pick up Gabe and went to the park. Poor guy tried going up the slide and hit the slide face first. I think he is still feeling out his legs. He can still be so wobbly. Saturday night my mom and I went to see the new movie "Knowing".

*Spoiler Alert* Don't read any further if you want to see this movie!!!

This movie basically focuses a list of supposidly random numbers that a child receives at school when they dig up a time capsule from 50 years ago. His dad, a professor of astrophysics, examines the numbers and finds that they are actually dates, # of people that die in the accident that take place on the dates and finally the latitude/longitude coordinates of where the accident takes place. After Nicholas Cage figures this out, he tried to go to the locations and prevent other accidents from occuring. Finally, he realizes the numbers stop and the last two characters of the page are EE. Which, basically means everyone else. Throughout the story to this point, his son and another child have been having visitors during the night etc come to them and whisper things about the future to them. Turns out, they are angels coming for children to take to heaven or a different planet or something along those lines. Meanwhile, the earth is exposed to deadly solar flares causing everyone to panic and eventually the planet is disinegrated into nothing. So...basically I think this film is one person's perspective/opinion on how the world will end. The movie sparked some thoughts about the subject in my own head. Basically, I came to the conclusion that if the world was going to end, I would want some kind of warning so I could be with my family when the inevitable would take place. I really don't think I would go insane about it. I would just spend my last minutes hugging my husband and son.

Other news...I have an interview tomorrow at a pre-school. I am looking for another position because Tim may be offered a position that requires him to travel extensively during the week. Since that will pretty much make me a single parent during the workweek, I decided to look for a position closer to home with more stable hours. I hope this works out!!! :)
