The Last Mimzy
Today we bought The Last Mimzy. When it came out it was instantly one of the kids favorite movies "ever". The little girl in it is SO MUCH like Mae, so sensitive and naive and intuitive, even down to her facial expressions, except that Mae has short hair. Except that the girl has a mother in the movie... that is the part that is hard to deal with. The girl in the movie has a mom that says things like "Come here, sweetie, I need a cuddle!" and gives her compliments, and spends time with her. It is our personal theory that families like this exist only in television and movies. We have never seen such a thing in real life.
One of the things that I personally love about the movie is that the little 6 year old girl is the heroine of the entire thing. Its so good for kids to see, that grown ups don't have to have all the power in the world, all the time.
Ever since the movie came out, Mae has desperately wanted Mimzy, the little bunny (he IS really cute- I would love to have it for my collection). So we have been searching. Turns out we FINALLY found a company that makes it- they have 2 versions-- collectors version (read:expensive but looks like the real one) and toy version (cute, but not QUITE as much looking like the real Mimzy) Turns out both are sold out right now. I would really, really like to save up our money, AND have the perfect timing and get on the waiting list, with the $59. 95 to get Mae the real Mimzy for Christmas.
I'm hoping the movie will keep the kids distracted today. They're all in such a state over a trip we have coming up. Total insanity. If we have to watch this movie four times today to keep distracted and out of trouble, then my golly, we're going to do it.

I was just reading this quote elsewhere on the web:
"You were given your life... your potential is the same as it always was, it is up to you now to do with it what you will."
I decided to post it to you!

I have been blessed to know several families in which the parents are loving and affectionate. These are the ones headed by healthy adults who themselves had healthy adults for parents. Sadly, these are the exception. But, take heart, they do exist. And they're great to see.
I know families like this. It makes me sad that we missed out on that, but they do exist. My friend Carla has raised 3 great kids with so much love and affection. I think we look for that now and get too attached to other people while looking.
My heart goes out to u Pilgrim, I mean that. U have a long long road ahead/.
