Blame it on the Rain

...or snow or sleet or whatever else kind of crummy weather you are having. And here is why. I've come to the conclusion that, after all the blogs I've read of all us SAHM's going a little bit nuts and needing breaks, that we can blame it on the weather.

You see...we had about a week of weather in the 60's a couple weeks ago....and everything was sunshine and roses around here. The kids loved being outside...I loved being outside. It was such a change from the everyday same ol' same ol'...there were places to explore, walks to be had, bikes to ride on....not the stuffy air of the house...where we have extinguished all of our indoor fun ideas.

I am so ready to throw up the windows and let the warm spring & summer air flow through the house. I'm ready to lay on the cool grass in the backyard. The kids got money toward a swing set for Christmas, so I just ordered one up and it should be here next week. I am ready to push them on the swing set and play with them in the sandbox. I'm ready to visit with my neighbors out in the alley. I'm just READY.

I wouldn't say I was complaining about the weather. If I didn't have 2 toddlers in the house, I'd be fine with whatever it was doing outside...but we're all getting a little stir crazy in here...and just need a change of scenery and air.

So. That's my opinion. and for all you still singing the title of my blog...here's a little Milli Vanilli flashback for you! ;)

I need a break

Local actor filming new 'Twilight' movie

By Jennifer K. Bauer, of the Lewiston Morning Tribune Friday, March 20, 2009

Chaske Spencer
Locally raised actor Chaske Spencer will have a major role in "New Moon," the movie sequel to the wildly popular "Twilight" vampire series.Spencer will play alpha wolf Sam Uley. The movie is filming in Vancouver, British Columbia, under high security and secrecy because of concerns about crowd control. The series, based on a set of top-selling teen novels by Stephenie Meyer, is about a group of modern-day vampires living on the Washington state coast."It's really exciting," says Spencer's mother, Jan Spencer, a special education teacher at Tammany Alternative School in Lewiston, where she also is the Indian educator and drug educator. Her husband, Jim Spencer, is a counselor at Clearwater Valley Elementary School in Kooskia.Since finding out he was in the film, she's read all the books and seen the "Twilight" movie. She says it's exciting to see her son be a part of a pop culture phenomenon. Paparazzi uncovered the identities of the actors in the film earlier this week, she says. Before that the family was not allowed to talk about Spencer's role in the film.Spencer, whose first name is pronounced "chess-kay," was born in Oklahoma and spent part of his childhood in Lapwai, Kooskia and Montana. His heritage includes Sioux, Nez Perce, Cherokee, Creek, French and Dutch. In "New Moon" he will play a Quileute Indian shape-shifter, or werewolf. In Meyer's book, legend has it the Quileute are descended from wolves. The film is due to be released Nov. 20.Spencer got into acting at the age of 10, when he tried out for the Lewiston Civic Theatre play "You're a Good Man Charlie Brown." He was in the drama club at Clearwater Valley High School in Kooskia and started acting classes at Lewis-Clark State College before heading to New York City to pursue an acting career. He's had roles in the movie "Skins," a follow-up to the 1998 film "Smoke Signals," and the 2003 ABC-TV miniseries "Dreamkeeper."

You might recognize this guy...! Yup...we know him as James! I acted along side of him in 1994 in Bye Bye Birdie! So awesome that someone from CVHS is in the big time! Congrats Chaske!!

CRAZY Pregnant Dreams

So, I don't really remember having really crazy dreams with Ali and Noel...but this time it seems like I have one a night...here's a taste of my craziness:

I was at a friend from high schools house (Shoni Konrad...Graves, now) watching her 2 boys, and her really mean ex-husband (she's never been divorced) came over and started harassing me. He was a pretty good looking guy, blond, tall...but very angry. He was demanding to know where she was and threatening to take the boys...I was SCARED! Finally, her husband (who has always really been her husband) and she came riding back to the house on dirt motor bikes (?) and then she proceeded to deal with this crazy man.

I'm sure there was more to that than I can remember, but it seemed really odd. I'm sure they were in my thoughts because I got an email from them that day about how their son will have his letter to the President published in a book for the president to read....ANYWAY!

I have also had dreams I was miscarrying and one that another friend from high school (Amy Norton) was serving my family breakfast at this restaurant where you rode around on Army tanks and tried to outrun REAL missiles...I think my mom got something with Hollandaise sauce on it...but I remember that we weren't able to outrun the missile and it hit us...my mom and sister and I all jumped off, but my dad was in the back and the tank rolled over onto the side he was sitting on...not all the way over...but I wasn't sure if we'd be able to get him out or not...I think Ali was sitting with him..I can remember seeing the top of her head...and then I JOLTED awake. That one was NOT fun.

Why all the craziness? Must be those hormones.
