I need a hero...

Today I was almost heroic. I tried but unfortunately for me it just wasn't my time. It all started when my oldest sister came over. She was making dinner tonight. She asked if I had heard from my second oldest sister, Dara. Dara had some ingredients the Ange needed. Dara was over at her place with 2 of my other sisters, Melody and Katy. They were spending time over there keeping her company while my brother-in-law is away for the month with the National Guard. My oldest sister said she tried to call them all several times and no one was answering. We thought it was a little weird considering that they had 4 phones over there and no one was answering. Finally after I tried to call them again we decided that someone should go over there. You have to watch out over here in the winter time for carbon monoxide poisoning. It's odorless and most people don't know what is happening to them until it's to late. In most cases it's fatal. Then there was the exhaust smell my sister smelled in the house a couple weeks ago. Also a bad thing. So here I was all amped up, ready to bust down the door if they didn't answer it. Luckily for them and me they answered the door. As it turns out Mel and Katy's phones were dead, Dara left her phone upstairs and the house phone wasn't plugged in or something like that. I'm so glad that I didn't have to break down a door and that all were ok. I was all ready to be Superwoman or Xena. Like I said I was on amped up on a adrenaline high and then nothing. I felt happy but a little let down.

Right now we are watching The Chronicles of Narnia. What a great movie! A couple days ago I started to read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe to my youngest brothers. My oldest sister started to read this to them 2 years ago but they were too young to really get into them. But now they are loving it. This series was the first 'real' books that I read. I was probably about 7 or 8. It has been a favorite ever since. It's funny though that now that there is a movie my brothers compare it to the books. We'll read and the boys will say "that's not in the movie!" Now that they are reading the books they will see something that they left out or added in in the movie and they will comment on it. I'm just glad that they are now finding the excitement and thrill of a great book!
