Today is Sat.May 21-The world is supposely ending in one hour and eight minutes. Some people really, really believe it! I sadly don't...but doesn't it make you think?
My family has been grumpy, whiny and definately unhelpful today so not a good day for our last day. Let's just say we had a difficult morning doing Sat. chores.(they all took off and went to cousins to get away from me) But if this was my last day on earth what would I want to do with my family.
I think I would want to just love one another, just cuddle in bed watching a great family movie. Eating yummy snacks and laughing out loud. I remember days like that when we homeschooled and my kids were young. Now they argue about what's good t.v. and they don't like what the other wants to watch. Now they all seem to have plans and don't include me. Parties, babysitting, jobs, going to friends or cousins, school...they are just growing up. Each day they are older and getting closer to leaving the nest. Even though they drive me crazy daily I just want to love them and get a big hug. I realize our time on earth is short and to love even the crappy parts. Love ya kids!

Gotta Kindle
I was so loved on Mother's day and recieved a Kindle. I was so excited!! I am a huge reader and just can't ever get enough. I love books so much. I happily went to Amazon to check out books. It is so easy and fast to download books. It is the greatest thing for a book lover UNTIL you look at prices.
Buying online books is in my opinion the bestest SCAM going and all the "companies" are winning. I can't believe that ebooks cost the same as buying a hard paper book. Ebooks have no paper, no shipping, no storage, no salespeople, no ink, no fancy pictured, colored bookcover...so they only have to buy for advertising and paying the author. SO HOW CAN IT BE SO EXPENSIVE????
I can't even re-sell an ebook. And tons of the books I can buy cheaper at costco than the e version.
It is frustrating because it is unfair but then they don't want illegal downloads. I don't mind at all paying for a book but seriously let's be fair.
It shocks me that readers haven't united to stop buying books until the system changes. It seems like the world needs to gear up for the future and figure out better ways for movies, books and music. The future is here people...change to keep up! Personally I am reading the free classics...and enjoying them while I wait for the book world to grab a clue!
