So I see that No Country for Old Men won best Picture... I'm a little stunned because I figured Atonement was going to win. Well kudos to the Academy for that one. I haven't seen No Country but I've heard good things about it.


Last night I had this moment where I had to stop talking and take in how much I sounded like a parent. Since my mom has been resting up since her surgery I pretty much took on everything she used to do around the house. I will admit that I slipped up a bit when it came to my little sister's schoolwork. My sister isnt a abay, she's 12 and she knows what she has to do, but like a lot kids she isn't going to do most things without someone forcing her hand. The kids had President's week off and last night I'm checking to make sure she did all the work she was supposed to do. I ask her about it and she cannot produce the homework that she did on demand. She has no idea where it is.

My sister's track record with the truth isn't that great and she's a drama queen so immediatly my skeptisism is me picking on her. I'm giving her the stern talking to and she give me attitude and beleive me after that I was losing my cool. I had to send her to bed, I felt like such a parent. Really all i was trying to do was look out for her as big sisters do, but she gave me attitude. So now the hammer has been brought down... mom and dad took away her tv, Nintendo Wii, PSP, and all other forms of enjoyment. She olny get to keep her cell phone becasue we need to be able to keep track of where she is.
