Today we went to Walgreen's to pick up photos that Michael had taken himself at the zoo...when he noticed Twilight the movie was in the Redbox...he knows mommy loves Twilight...so I would like to share with you our conversation:
Michael: Mommy Redbox has Twilight now!
Me: I know that is very cool!
Michael: Mommy we should get it to watch it.
Me: I already saw it.
Michael: When EXACTLY did you do THAT?!
Me: When it came out a few months back
Michael: Where EXACTLY was I?!?
Me: School.
Michael: Well I wanted to see it too!
Me: Okay we can rent it so you can watch it with me.
Michael: I love you, you make me so happy!

R.I.P. Doriee
Our Fish Dorriee has passed onto fishy heaven this week...We are sad from our loss but know she is in a better place now :(
Michael on the other hand wasnt too sad about this...
We asked Michael how he felt on the situation here is what he had to say, "well mommy that was the fish YOU picked out, the ones I picked are not dead. If mine was dead I would be sad."
Here is what mommy had to say about that..."Hmpf!"

This Weekend...
This weekend Michael had his last basketball game of the season and we had his end of season basketball party afterwards which was so much fun! I left the game a bit early so I could get to Peter Piper Pizza and get things ready before the Kids and Parents got there. Luckily I got there in time and shortly afterwards parents started walking in :) The boys had such a good time playing all the games, getting tickets and eating pizza and cake!
They also got their trophies which was really neat :) The Kidos were excited about those!
They Won their last game too! Which i wasnt there to actually SEE but I had some parents send me pictures of the game which was totally cool of them to do!
We were able to go home and relax a bit before leaving again to go to Michael's cousin's birthday party which I didnt stay too long for - I am having "mommy issues" right now and needed to go home ASAP! That and also if I didnt I would have had to bite Mike's head off because he was just getting on my nerves...
But all that matters is that Michael got to spend this time with his cousin and help celebrate his birthday with him :)
Now all I am hearing from Michael is what he wants to do for his birthday this year - it is going to be awesome I know that much :)
So I have to start saving up money now to cover the cost of this birthday party I am going to be planning :)
Today we went to golf lessons and in a little while we will be taking Michael to yet another birthday party - which is at The Zone from 5:30 to 7:30.
Michael is right now with his cousin - we met up with them a McDonald's and his uncle will be bringing hom home here soon.
Either that or we will just swing by and pick him up on the way to the party.
Today Michael got to drive some golf balls in practice and I know this is only his 2nd practice but you can tell his swing is improving a lot since the first day. It was really nice outside so the whole practice was out side which was really nice. They also got to do some putting of the ball.

Golf Lessons for Michael!
I just signed Michael up for golf! I am super excited to tell him when he gets home from school!He has been asking me for a long time to sign him up, we have signed him up for soccer and basketball...but he didnt seem to like those. Continues to want to play golf...the places I have been looking into seemed a bit pricey or just no luck at all...until today!I called Hank Haney to just check on pricing...they have a beginners Sunday clinic which is 1 hour every Sunday. The lady I spoke to told me that some kids that come into it are naturals, and some it will take a month or so of practicing every Sunday until they get it. It will only cost $20 each Sunday clinic! That isnt bad at all! They then evaluate the kids to see if they are ready to go to the next level (which I forgot the name she called it) on that they start to actually really play and can do competitions. And that upon the evaluation on if he can go to it or not will only be $250 a month!I am praying this is Michael's "thing" since he shows such a strong intrest in it...and wants to pick up a golf club everytime he sees one.I really believe in my heart that Michael's want to play golf may stem from when we lived back in VA and Mike would take Michael and me along when he played golf or went to the driving range. It was something and is something Michael probally rememers doing with Mike.Soccer and basketball isnt something that Michael was ever introduced to before he started the teams he played on.I am praying that Michael actually will enjoy golf and want to look forward to going to his lessons.
I am guessing I will have to go at this golf lesson thing alone...with just Michael and me because after talking to Mike he thinks it is a waist of money - and thinks he can just take Michael out and show him on his own...well I do have some thoughts on that since Mike is always busy doing something else, there is no gaurentee that Mike will always be available to take Michael out and teach him golf...pluse with out being in a club or what ever it is called - how can he join into competitions? I told him well I am going to do it anyway it was just 20 a lesson...and asked him to please come on Sunday which he said - that I cam do what ever I wanted with MY money but not to use his for it and he will THINK about coming on Sunday...I am a bit upset by this...but oh well, if Michael doesnt like it there is no contract that he has to stay in it. It is pay per lesson...so if he starts to not like it then I just wont take him anymore - simple. Right?

Here is an excert from Rueters website about Vatican's adding "new sins" to the original list. If God wrote the seven sins - did God go to them and tell them to add on to the original list? Did they take a vote and decide to add them on? I am not understanding how they can just add on to it...so do you follow it because they say these are the new sins or do you keep going on following the original?
I dont know - just felt the need to post and to get some other's opinions on this subject...although I know religion is a very touchy subject to some...I am still trying to get some things.
VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Thou shall not pollute the Earth. Thou shall beware genetic manipulation. Modern times bring with them modern sins. So the Vatican has told the faithful that they should be aware of "new" sins such as causing environmental blight.The guidance came at the weekend when Archbishop Gianfranco Girotti, the Vatican's number two man in the sometimes murky area of sins and penance, spoke of modern evils.Asked what he believed were today's "new sins," he told the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romano that the greatest danger zone for the modern soul was the largely uncharted world of bioethics."(Within bioethics) there are areas where we absolutely must denounce some violations of the fundamental rights of human nature through experiments and genetic manipulation whose outcome is difficult to predict and control," he said.The Vatican opposes stem cell research that involves destruction of embryos and has warned against the prospect of human cloning.Girotti, in an interview headlined "New Forms of Social Sin," also listed "ecological" offences as modern evils.In recent months, Pope Benedict has made several strong appeals for the protection of the environment, saying issues such as climate change had become gravely important for the entire human race.Under Benedict and his predecessor John Paul, the Vatican has become progressively "green".It has installed photovoltaic cells on buildings to produce electricity and hosted a scientific conference to discuss the ramifications of global warming and climate change, widely blamed on human use of fossil fuels.Girotti, who is number two in the Vatican "Apostolic Penitentiary," which deals with matter of conscience, also listed drug trafficking and social and economic injustices as modern sins.But Girotti also bemoaned that fewer and fewer Catholics go to confession at all.He pointed to a study by Milan's Catholic University that showed that up to 60 percent of Catholic faithful in Italy stopped going to confession.In the sacrament of Penance, Catholics confess their sins to a priest who absolves them in God's name.But the same study by the Catholic University showed that 30 percent of Italian Catholics believed that there was no need for a priest to be God's intermediary and 20 percent felt uncomfortable talking about their sins to another person.(Editing by Keith Weir) http://www.reuters.com/article/topNe...rpc=22&sp=true
The seven social sins are:
1. "Bioethical" violations such as birth control
2. "Morally dubious" experiments such as stem cell research
3. Drug abuse
4. Polluting the environment
5. Contributing to widening divide between rich and poor
6. Excessive wealth
7. Creating poverty
The original deadly sins:
1. Pride
2. Envy
3. Gluttony
4. Lust
5. Anger
6. Greed
7. Sloth
