Got a Sitter

I have really wanted to help out more with Mom's move and just overall in showing support for my Parents and their current situation(s). I miss my Mom ALOT- I'm sure miss our 30 minute chats in the morning, having her comment/compliment my hair or my outfit or whatnot. I even miss the political topics that we didn't always see eye-to-eye on. It was always such a nice way to start the day. For a long time we'd even see each other at lunch and then again in the evening (Mom watched the kids during the work week for those of you that are lost).

Now I don't get to see her as much, and I certainly don't get to see her or my Dad as much as I’d like to. I've been trying to keep a routine at home (now that school has started) and with busy schedules- there isn't enough time in the day. I'm exhausted and there's so much more I'd like to be doing.

BUT alas, there is light at the end of the tunnel. The Cap's Mother is watching the kids on Saturday and I get to give my Parents (primarily my Mom) my undivided efforts.

But I need to bring rented movies for the kids to have something to do and she wants them to be some that they haven’t seen before. I haven't rented movies in SO LONG- maybe 3 movies in 5 years to this sort-of sounds fun. The only movies I see are kid’s movies and whatever we record off of cable. I'm always referencing movies that are a good 2 to 3 years old that likely weren't even that popular at the time. So I'm going to rent Mean Girls for sure. I LOVE comedy dialogue driven movies. Any other suggestions? Any movies out there from the last few years that were entertaining but maybe would have gone under the HBO radar?
