Happy 2009!

It's 2009,Yeah!!!! It's a New Year. The hubby and I didn't do much to celebrate but watch a movie and just relaxed at home. We paused our movie and rang in the new year and then finished our movie. It's wasn't all that exciting but it was the way we wanted. We don't party as much anymore due to the fact we only trust the grandparents to babysit. I want to thank Montel Williams on this one. I watched a show about the horrors of babysitters before the daughter was born and it freaked me out so we don't want to hire anyone until the children can talk and express themselves if anything bad happens if anything happens. I don't want to risk my children being in harms way so the hubby and I sacrifice our sanity and don't go out much on our own. We do go on dates once in awhile but most the time when we go out the children tag along. I like my family and we were blessed to have well behaved children when we all go out to a restaurant. It's nice so we do it a lot because they are so well behaved or we wouldn't do it. I can't stand trying to have a nice meal when the table besides you has an out of control child. I find it embarrassing for the parents. We had one experience when the daughter was 9 months old at the Cheesecake Factory and she swiped a plate off the table behind her and broke it by throwing it onto the floor. I almost died and apologized. Lets just say we left a big tip that night. We got lucky and we find it a blessing we have good kids on this side of things. That's why it's not so bad when the children tag along on some of our dates. They are great company plus when the hubby and I are alone we talk about the chilren anyway so them being there is even more special. I can't believe Stargate Atlantis is almost over. Tonight is the second to last episode of the entire series. The Scifi channel is doing a week long marathon of Stargate Atlantis up until the season last episode next Friday. We have the first 4 seasons on DVD already so it's not like if I miss the marathon I would be heartbroken. I'm trying to be an adult about the end of the series but it's sad when a good show ends. I was mad when they just up and ended Dark Angel without any notice especially when they were talking about season 3 starting up and then Bam they announced the show wasn't coming back with just two seasons. I was so angry and boycotted the replacement show Firefly. I feel bad about this because we also have the boxset of Firefly and it was a great show. I keep telling people I was the cause Firefly got cancelled in it's first season because I didn't want to watch the TV show which replaced Dark Angel. :( I'm not angry Stargate Atlantis is ending but more of a sadness because I thought the show was getting better each year gone by. I think it should have at least a few more years of potential. I will have to be satisfied with a movie and hopefully it does so well some more will come there after but I'm not counting on it. It's more a wait and see and I'm fine with that and if more Stargate Atlantis movies come after I will be thrilled. I am a little disappointed with all the entertainment listings like IMDB. I would like to know what Joe Flanigan's next acting gig will be. I haven't found anything what he's going to do next now Stargate is over. I guess Joe Flanigan is taking a well deserved break from acting. I wouldn't blame him. He has 3 young boys and a wife who he probably wants to spend some time with until the next acting project comes along. He's a good actor and I'm impatient and want to see him be in something so I can watch him on my TV. :) It's going to be a good year. Lost is coming on in a few weeks and maybe it will take my mind off of Stargate Atlantis. Take care, Peace!
