…I’m a terrible mother.  I took my kids to see Marley & Me.

Yep.  I did.

Let me introduce you to our dog, Marley:

He looks a heck of a lot like the “Marley” in the movie.

We adopted our Marley in September of 2007, so we’ve had him for a little over a year (he’s approximately 2 1/2 years old).

Back to the movie…

I did not read the book before I saw the movie.  Big mistake.  Although the movie was very good, I had no idea it was going to be such a tear-jerker.  My poor children left the theater sobbing (I was too).

I’ve won the World’s Worst Mother award.  I think Marley & Me hit a little too close to home for my 11 year old son and 8 year old daughter.  Oops.

Somebody shoot me.

I hope this year brings good health and happiness to all of you!

I haven’t submitted a Friday Photo over at Candid Carrie’s place in quite awhile.  I’ve missed hanging out over there at Carrie’s.

Usually I catch my husband doing something silly, take a photo and use his silliness to my advantage on my blog.  Well, I haven’t caught him for awhile now.  But he did catch me.  I guess it’s time for my payback.  It’s only fair, right?   I have two super-silly photos.

Here’s the first:

My sweet husband, Dan took me out to Sushi and the movie, Yes Man on New Years Eve.  On the way out of the movie I saw this life-size poster and just had to stick my head in the head-hole. Dan took this photo with his phone.

I know, I don’t quite look frightened enough, but I was trying not to laugh as strangers passed by shouting out advice about facial expression.

I will not be seeing this movie that I seem to be starring in. I do enjoy a scary movie now and again but I don’t like gore for the sake of gore.

And as for the 2nd picture…you’ll just have to wait until next Friday.

Now, get on  over to Candid Carrie’s Fx4 (Friday Foto Finish Fiesta)!

Make 2009 a good year!

Love, Christie
