Feeling Lazy

I've been feeling rather sorry for myself these last four days...not sure why.  The weather is hot and we've not done too much because of it.  I think that's making me feel lazy although I've actually cooked twice this week!  That makes it twice in over a month!  I think Gus has been feeling grouchy too.  He was being rather difficult last night.  I bought him this journal/book at the comic store that has one of his favorite shows characters in it.  So it gives you a little background into one of the episodes then asks you to write something.  I thought this would make Gus more interested in writing.  Last night he was to write about a dream he had and after writing a few words he said in a very aggravated voice 'Why did you buy this?  I don't want to write.'  Let's just say the evening went downhill from there.

Trent is protesting Direct TV-Did I tell you this???  When we moved we had the service suspended because we didn't know where we were moving so now Trent has something against Direct TV so we have yet to get cable.  I've been on Hulu, Netflix and Redbox-all streaming movies and shows.  I have missed the news terribly!  I read Huffington Post to get any world new...regardless he needs to end this boycott and get me some Dance Moms!  He did have me hooked on Arrested Development-It's Hilarious!!!  So I had to watch all the episodes.  Gus even got into it a little.  Thank goodness he didn't understand some of the adult things...now I'm on to Downton Abbey.  Gus and Hank watched Fat Albert last night.  They loved it.  I forgot how cheesy cartoons use to be and that we only got to watch them on Saturday mornings.

Anyway our newest favorite place has been the Carr Mill Mall (www.carrmillmall.com). It's historical and reminds me a little of Fountain Square. They have this great toy store that the boys obviously enjoy and a little pizza parlor that's delicious!  We've been there twice this week.  I think we're going to head there for lunch today.  I'm just concerned that the boys will want toys every time we go-because you know we'll give in.  I'll let you know how it goes!
