Indiana Jones and the Ancient Mom

Jacob recently acquired a box of White Cheddar Cheez-Its which advertises the new Indiana Jones film, as well as having a special mail-in offer for the Raiders of the Lost Ark DVD.

Jacob: Have you seen this movie, Mom?

Me: The new one? It's not out yet.

Jacob: I know that, Mom, I meant the Raiders of the Lost Ark.

Me: Yeah, I saw all of the Indiana Jones movies when I was a kid.

Jacob: Wow. How many were there?

Me: Three of them.

Jacob: Did you see them in the theater or on DVD?

Me (amused): In the theater. They didn't have DVDs then.

Jacob (alarmed): They didn't have DVDs?!

Me (feeling very old): Nope.

Jacob: Wow...

I'm a lazy blogger. Haven't posted anything here in a couple of weeks! I've started several posts but haven't had the perseverance to finish writing anything. Blame it on stress - both good and bad.

Today is my baby's 9th birthday. WOW. Let me just tell you -- nothing could have prepared me for how quickly that was going to go past...

I look at him and I still see the tiny cuddly guy they placed in my arms after my c-section... but he's almost as tall as me now! Eek! How does that happen?! *Sigh*... where did the time go? And after nine years, don't you think I'd have the hang of this parenting gig? I'm still flying by the seat of my pants!

This Saturday, another significant date will come to pass, but I'll barely notice it, because I'll be in Paris :) Yes, our trip is finally here! Yay! I really need to start packing! I can't wait. Just two more days...

;)
