In a split second this afternoon, my normally sweet child turned into something unrepeatable—everyone in North Austin must have heard his screeches and yells. “Mummy! Turn around! Wrong way! We have to go that way! Mummy! Turn a-round!” Oh my goodness, I much prefer to be giving the commiserating looks rather than receiving them. We had just had such a wonderful time swimming together, loads of cuddles and also lots of Jonathan going underwater (voluntarily!), he had plenty of warning about when we’d be leaving, but we had a Scene anyway. It certainly took it out of me, and pretty much as soon as Dale got home I headed out to see a movie at the Alamo Drafthouse—Bruce Almighty. What a wonderful movie! I laughed and laughed. It was just what I needed. And yes, Rita, I cried too.
Posted by elizabeth at June 16, 2003 10:59 PMWhat an enticing title for this entry. I knew that you were referring to the movie, but then changed my mind when I read the beginning of your blog. Movies are such a great stress reliever. I am glad you enjoyed this as much as I did. I will definitely be adding this to my DVD library when it is released.
