It’s that time of year again to be crapped on. YAY! Yeah I am a bit mad right now. The thing is I shouldn’t be but I am. That’s the hard part. I shouldn’t, I should let it go because it is what it is. But I can’t help it being mad at my siblings once more because tis the season.

Ah yes that time again to talk about Christmas gifts. Everything was going so well too. We all decided to go all in for parents gifts. I like that idea. What I don’t like as now everyone saying don’t buy my kids gifts and us too.

WELL WTF?!

This is what makes me mad because we already got all the kids gifts. Plus I made everyone a cross stitch picture. I am mad because I didn’t have to waste my time on that. And Jeff is making that cool sign for Drew. All that time and money but mostly time. So yeah I am MAD! They could have let us know ahead of time. Well just too DAMN bad they are getting Christmas presents and they shove them where the sun don’t shine for all I care. And I know I shouldn’t be angry but I am.

Seems like every year it’s like this and I should’ve of know by now. But it feels like being punished for having a big heart. Ugh! Damn you feelings.

(Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly)

Last Saturday we went to our last adoption training. YAY!

We had to go to Milwaukee for our last training and sit with two other couples for 8 hours. It was a long day. However every one was nice. We have one more thing to do now. We have to make a scrapbook on ourselves so the birth mom’s can look at it and hopefully choose us.

I am excited we are almost done with the first process of adoption! YAY!

Woweee! Truly!

I have decided the post office in my town are run by children. Here’s the deal last Wednesday we got an Amazon package. I opened it and realized it wasn’t addressed to us. But I accidentally opened it. It was cute soft panda bear stuff animal. I tapped it back up and left it outside hoping the mailman would come back. He didn’t.

So that night we contacted Amazon on what to do with the package and they told us to keep it. Their policy is to just send another package again.

However that Saturday our mailman came to door and gave me a lecture and practically was yelling at me that it was my fault I don’t have the package anymore. Even though he was the one who left the package to the wrong address and never came back for it. How was that my fault? He acted like a child that was throwing a hissy fit. I thought that was the end of it.

But oh no….

We got a letter in the mail stating if we didn’t contact the post office that we were going to get a visit from the Post Master Inspector. WTF! Really WTF?!

So I had Jeff call because he takes no shit from no one. Also he sounds intimidating on the phone when he wants too. Jeff told the Post Master what happened told him that he contacted Amazon and even provided the transcript to him. What the Post Master said was “Why didn’t you call the post office?” He told him he contacted the shipper. Wouldn’t you? The Post Master didn’t really say anything. I hope that is it. Jeff also told him that the mailman wasn’t too kind to me.

I hope that is the end of that. But really what a bunch of children. Our mailman can’t even talk to me like an adult to resolve the problem. He doesn’t have to like me but he could treat me with respect like I do to him. I really don’t like him at all but I don’t act like it.

On Tuesday I went to see Doctor Sleep by myself. I really, really liked this movie! It answers a lot of questions I had about the Shinning. Also Ewan Mcgregor is an amazing actor, I think. I would recommend this movie to people if they love the Shinning. It’s not scary I would say more like eerie but awesome at the same time.

On this Wednesday I had to go the dentist. We got a new dentist because our dentist retired. I have to say the new dentist is nice. However this is a ha ha ha thing. Our new dentist is a female dentist. I have to say it’s the first time in my life to have a female dentist which I was thinking wow! All this time I haven’t had a female dentist. Surgeons are different. Anyways ha ha ha moment. So our new dentist has big boobs. LOL! I don’t know how to say it but when I look up at her in the chair, I can’t really see her eyes just her breast in front of my face. Sometimes when she bends down uh yeah boobs near the face. I am not offended it’s just funny! What can one do?! LOL!

Last Sunday till Monday October 27 and 28, I was asked to babysit my niece and nephew. I was okay with that but didn’t think of school. I have never gotten kids ready for school. I have babysat in my life but I have never babysat kids that were older. When I was teenager I babysat for little kids or babies.

I was relieving Corey who had been there for two days. But he has an advantage he has Crayne to entertain the other kids. I have just me. As soon as I get there Crayne had a melt down. So fun…(being sarcastic).

After they left Drew right away is like “Can I go play with friends down the street.” Yeah I let him go. I thought he was going to be gone for hours but he came back in 30 minutes. LOL!

Then he came back and called my mom (Nana). He asked if they can go see a movie. I didn’t care. So dad came and picked up Drew and I snuck in “So coming back to take out for dinner?” He said fine. Yay!

Bree and I played Roblock which is a game on the Ipad. I am really glad I brought my Ipad so we could played a lot! Then we started to watch the movie The Princess Switch on Netflix. Wasn’t sure if I would like it but I did! In fact I watched it twice. Once with Bree and once with April. It’s a cute story and really well done. I was surprised.

Dad came back then took us out to eat. They only fought once. That was really nice of my parents to take us out too. When we got home I got bribed to have them go to bed at 9:30. Supposed to go to bed at 8:30. I know bad Aunt. (Oh well!) We made a deal can go to bed at 9:30 if they get up for school and no fights. They agreed but I figured they would give me trouble.

Guess what?

They didn’t! And only one fight before school. But that wasn’t too bad. Got them both on their buses just fine. I was so surprised that happened!

Jeff had the day off so we had to drop off one of the cars at a place where they tint windows. Then we went to see Zombieland Double Tap. It was silly and I like it!

Then home to see our fur babies. Oh wow Tex was so excited I was home. Of course Scotty was too but Tex is still puppy like so he was like all over the place. Too funny.

Happy Halloween

Today I have three movie reviews. Let’s get to it!

Let’s start with a good one first:

Zombieland Double Tap 2019 In Theaters Rating 4

Columbus, Tallahassee, Wichita, and Little Rock move to the America’s heartland. In this adventure they go up against evolved zombies and find other survivors. Also while surviving their own family that they see in each other.

If you liked the first one you will like this one. It’s just as silly and fun as the first one. I didn’t know how they could make a sequel but here it is. Watch all the way to the end. There is bonus scenes.

If you are into zombies and horror comedy this is something to see this year, 2019.

On to the okay:

Eli 2019 Netflix Rating 3

A couple who has a son who has an auto-immune disease seeks treatment for him in a creepy old mansion.

Why why WHY?! Cracking bones and a girl all twisted in this movie. I hate that! It creeps me out! Yeah so there is one of those. Ghosts in the mansion, I guess.

At first there is jump scares and they scared me. Then they totally over do it in this movie. In the middle of the movie I could see them coming and made me laugh. Scary yes in the beginning, middle laughable and the end was like this “ARE YOU SERIOUS?!”

I hate the end of this movie and the whole premise of this movie. The twist in my opinion sucks.

Now the terrible:

Slaughterhouse Rulez 2018 Redbox Rating 2

A British boarding school is also fracking in the woods. Unleashes terror on the school.

Simon Pegg doesn’t mean always greatest movie. Too bad because this movie is beautiful looking. The acting is also great. The concept meh. I knew it was going to be a monster movie even though it doesn’t say. As it is classified as action/horror. But really it isn’t scary not even a little bit.

Hocus Pocus 1993 DVD or Streaming Rating 2

A family moves to Salem from California and the young boy struggles to fit in. He meets a pretty girl and they go to a museum and he lights a candle unleashing three witches on Halloween.

This is a typical 90’s movie and not practically a great movie. But April loves to watch this every Halloween and it’s our tradition to do so.

Like I said it’s so 90’s and even uses 90’s slang. Tubular dude!

If anyone wants to see a 90’s kid’s movie for Halloween, I am not sure this is it. There has to be better movies out there. But it does have three popular actresses from the 90’s in it. So that is something. Maybe? It’s silly and laughable in this day in age but not a super terrible movie.

The Terror Season 2 AMC Rating 5

Wow! Season 2 was even better than season 1 if that is possible.

Season 2 is about World War 2 when America is against Japan. This story follows a family with a dark secret. A “demon” follows them from Japan to America. The story mostly surrounds their son Chester and how the “demon” affects him. The story takes place mostly in a camp where America puts Japanese people during the war. Even goes a bit into when America drops the 2 nuclear bombs on Hiroshima.

All the acting is great! The chemistry between all the characters and the scenery are all so great as well.

This is a must see. It’s not so much scary however there are some jump scares. More of a creepy atmosphere and understanding of what’s going on.

House of the Witch Netflix Rating 2

A group of young adults on Halloween go to house to prank each other. Once they enter they find they can’t leave.

I had to watch at least one B movie and this is it!

There is creepy witch who can walk the spider walk. Creepy sounds, check. Young adults who make dumb decisions, check. Jump scares, check.

This movie isn’t that great but the acting is pretty good. The visual effects are okay. The story generic.

Good movie to have on the background while doing other things.

Overlord 2018 Redbox Rating 4

The day before D-Day paratroopers are in the air over France. Their plane gets shot out of the sky and they have to jump out. They land in enemy territory and not all make it.

The real terror is what the Nazi’s are doing to the citizen’s this French town.

This movie is beautiful! Someone had some money behind this. The acting is great! Even the story isn’t too bad. This movie is worth a watch.

I wasn’t really all that scared but just everything about this movie is good. However I do have one complaint it’s dark. Understand this is happening in night but they could have lighten it up for the audience to see. Other than that there are some moments that are intense!

Brightburn 2019 Redbox Rating 2

A child from a different planet crashes to earth and a couple raises it. (Sounds like Superman) However it’s the villain.

Meh! This movie is not worth watching. The characters I have no sympathy for. There isn’t enough character development for me to care either way. The child who plays the villain did alright.

It wasn’t super terrible but it wasn’t good as well.
