Obsessed

This last weekend I took some of my kids to see Obsessed (don't worry... not the elementary kids... another staff member who could drive a van took them to see the Hannah Montana movie...). The movie was pretty wild and definitely had it's creepy parts but what I liked the most was my kids reaction to the movie.

Have you ever been in a movie where people clap and cheer when good things happen? Well this weekend, those annoying kids that clap and cheer like they are at home where my kids. The movie Obsessed is about this man who gets a promotion and is stalked by at temp worker in his new building. At one point (well actually several points) in the movie she throws herself at him and he sternly rejects her because he loves his wife and he would never cheat on her. As he stormed out of the bathroom (that she had followed him into) my kids erupted in cheers and applause. I had to tell them to keep it down a few times (there were other people in the theater and I felt bad) but what they don't know is I was actually really proud of them. How many movies do we see now-a-days where the husband is cheating on the wife or the wife is cheating on the husband or whatever. My kids love that stuff (I watch that stuff too and it doesn't seem to phase me)... But for them to actually recognize that it is wrong for a husband (or a wife) to cheat on their spouse... I am proud.

Outdoor Ed is Wednesday which starts a very busy three weeks before camp. I also got offered a photography job helping to shoot my friend's wedding. I really want to make it work out but I'm not sure if I can get off work... I hope I can because that would be super fun and a great experience!
