Revolutionary Road

What was I thinking? Leonardo, Kate. Titanic was a hit right?

So I rented this movie, Revolutionary Road. We hadn't rented in a very long time and I thought, hey it's cheaper than going to see a movie, getting babysitters are expensive these days.
Well, I knew it would be rough but I got it anyway.
Eric was not happy.
At one point he asked if he could have my headphones to listen to his laptop instead of the movie.
I'll just say this. If you're at a point in your marriage were you could go one of two directions, one good, one bad, don't rent this flick!
It's real, it's hard to watch.
Luckily for Eric and I, we aren't at that place, we never have been and I hope we won't ever get there.
Now, it's 4am and I'm sitting at the kitchen table with my little boy thinking, I really shouldn't have watched that movie because I could have gone to bed earlier in preperation for this night.
If you have seen it, or you do let me know what you think.

I was going to see it, but as of now, it's crossed off my list. Thanks for saving me the $3.
P.S. Love the family photo!!!

I have not seen the movie, but read the book. I'm curious to see it, but now maybe I'll rent in when (Nate) my hubby is out of town. I can see what you mean (just from reading the book) It was a bit of a downer.

I did rent the movie tonight. Your post made me curious. It was very similiar to the book. I just don't get kate's character. I don't know, I guess I can't identify with her. If anything in my husband and my relationship the personalities are reversed. I agree with that friend of theirs that said - why is everything going to be better in Paris anyway. It's not that much different than here....
Sometimes I talk to people who think moving away is going to change things. If you are not happy here...why are you going to be happy in Europe or California etc....I just don't get that ideology. ---anyway, just wanted to let you know your post got me thinking -and renting :)

Here it is, the long awaited video from the arrival of our new "BIG" bed. I noticed that I'm breathing pretty hard in the video, it's because I was fighting a cold, not because I have that hard of a time walking up the stairs. Although Eric and Ben show signs of fatigue too, but they actually did the work... so here you go, I hope it makes you laugh a little.

If it's broke, fix it

Noah fractured his arm. Yes you're right, I felt horrible. At first I didn't know what to do. I ran with my crying baby up the stairs to the kitchen and called my husband. He didn't really know what to do either. I called the pediatrician. Appointment for the afternoon was made and Noah gradually got back into the swing of things, not using his arm like normal, but playing and pulling hair and eating like normal with his other arm. By the time we got to the pediatricians office I thought for sure she would say that it was probably just sprained and that he should take it easy. She told me she thought x rays would be a good idea and to go right away and they would call from the imaging office to let the pediatrician know what they saw. I called around for the cheapest x rays and went where it was 10 dollars cheaper per x ray, all the while thinking I didn't want to pay money for it to be nothing. Noah was doing well for having fell, not eaten very much and not having tak...
