Today's Thoughts on Tomorrow

In 7 days Tomorrow, When The War Began will be hitting screens, based on the first book in The Tomorrow Series written by John Marsden.


There have been many late nights spent talking excitedly with James about if, how, when they would ever make these books into movies, since I first read the series obsessively after my dad and before my mum (we were all impatiently waiting on the next book for the whole time, practically).

Now, with the release so very close I am unsure. This was my first series true love. I have strong thoughts and feelings about the story and the characters. What if the movie isn't at all what has been in my mind all these years, especially now that I've just re-read the first book to refresh my memory.

I have loved many books which have been made into a movie before now, but never have I felt this strongly about how the book should translate to film. At first, I was so worried that I almost decided we wouldn't even go to see it, but then I thought 'What if it is awesome, what if it does capture the spirit of the book and we miss out on something great?' I certainly do not want to miss out, I also don't want to be bitterly disappointed.

Have you loved a book and been disappointed or thrilled by the adaption made on film?

I'm Here!!

So, we're home. It's been a long, tiring day. The girls are a bit feral and I am simply exhausted.
I just really want to show you want happened when I told my girls not to get dirty while I hung the clothes.

Yup, my kiddos are oh-so-obedient.

Some days I wish we had a playpen for outside because sometimes the last thing I need is to have the girls get dirty, make more laundry and need a middle of the day bath. Today was such a day. I was so frustrated.

Please, enlighten me as to what you do when you reach breaking point?? I spent a lot of time raising my voice today. I hate that, but I didn't have the energy to think about reacting any other way. I don't want to be a grump. Really and truly I don't.

Bad Blogger...

I have been really bad at updating of late. I am simply way too exhausted to think. I don't know why I am suddenly so shattered. Kahlei is starting to sleep a little better at night, Ellie still sleeps thru and has started waking later in the morning than she was. Both girls go down for a nap at the same time during the day, though Kahlei doens't sleep very long.

Kahlei has developed a case of seperation anxiety. As soon as I move out of her field of vision she freaks out, which makes the time she is awake trying, especially when Ellie's demanding my attention too. I don't feel like that can be the reason I am feeling like this, obviously it's a part of it.

So, it's time for a new Answer  Me This. I have had complaints that my last question was too hard!!

What is your all time favourite movie and why? If you can't name just one give me your top five ;)

Answer Me This

Hmm, I posted this earlier but it appears we've had a glitch!

This week I'm going to stick with an easy question: What is your drink of choice?

For me, it's coke all the way. I love my coke, used to drink at least 2 litres a day (can you say addicted?). Now, it's just for special occassions.

I will do a more updated post later on, for now we have Caleb visiting and I've put us over quota so the internet is slooooooooooow as...

*tap tap* Is This Thing On??

Hello?? Is anybody out there?? I haven't had any comments for AGES!! I love my readers and the little snippets you leave on my blog. I want to hear more from you, learn more about you dear reader... So, on Tuesday's I am going to ask a question about you for you to answer in a comment.

This week I'm going to start with an easy one. I want to know what your yummiest meal has been latelyand why? James recently made us pumpkin soup. It was delicious, nice and thick and tasty. I was left warm, full and happy. An orange bowl of happiness!! We have some leftovers in the freezer for 'later' but I already want to get it out again. Yummy scrummy.

So, come out of lurking and let me know ;)
