Mom wants to watch Fifty Shades of Grey!

Ben is out of town this weekend. I use to miss him and eagerly await is arrival back home. Now days, I still adore him and hope he gets home safely but like to use his time away as my time to do whatever I want....or even just control the remote!! I usually do a GIRLS NIGHT and have my mom take Maverick over night but this weekend we are keeping it chill at home. We've been busy every weekend since Thanksgiving so its nice to not have any plans!


I love movies, I usually take the time to watch the movies I can't watch with Ben while Ben is gone. Unfortunately the movies I would LOVE to finally watch, are not movies I can watch with my son home, let alone my brother who is staying with us. Have you read the Fifty Shades of Grey trilogy?! I finished them about a year ago and like most women, fell for Christian and Ana's love story. I have access to, I believe all 3 movies....and I can't watch them. As I write this, Maverick is yelling 'MOOOOM!" and I keep having to set my laptop down and go cater to him (which I wouldn't trade for the world but how many moms wish they could finish something beginning to end without always stopping) so here I am, drinking my coffee, scrolling past "Fifty Shades of Grey"  yet again and clicking on Owen Wilson's movie "Father Figures" which has given me quite a few laughs!! It is not a movie for a 4 year old but atleast if him or my brother walk through the livingroom, its not awkward and I don't have to feel like a terrible dirty mom if my son sees something he shouldn't.

One day Christian and Ana, I will see your story played out on the screen. Seriously great writing EL James. It was the first trilogy I finished. A book that I would tell myself, "after this chapter I'm putting it down" and I would have to continue to see what happened next, until reluctantly I would have to put it down to get back to responsibilities. 

So, here's to watching Dakota Johnson hopefully make a great Ana....someday. Until then, Reese Witherspoon will have to entertain me with movies such as "Home Again" during my moments of sitting down while Maverick is enjoying PBS! Here's to a lazy weekend!!!
