My little cousins have been staying at my mom's house so far the whole week. They keep me busy as they can't seem to get through most levels on the games. They insist I "try" and then end up watching me do the whole thing for a couple hours. One of the kids, a 6 year old girl, is crying right now, wanting to go home. She swims, eats and has a great time, then suddenly decides she has to go home. My older cousin is turning 12 today, so she and her mom went out for dinner for her birthday, the other two kids, 6yr old girl and 8 yr old boy, said they didn't want to go. I think it's a great idea for the older one to bond a bit with her mother on her birthday.

Also, this is my last week of Teaching Writing with Technology class. It has been a very interesting class, discovering how to use the computer through your classroom curriculum. The final project is an annotated bibliography and I have to say I think I need more practice.

August 6th is coming soon! I cannot wait to buy my Lord of the Rings DVD! I have been a fantasy buff since I started reading The Wheel of Time series and now I just can't get enough! You could say it changed my life, even inspired the fairy tattoo on my back.
