The Hunger Games

Rozzie stayed home another day with what I think was influenza - fever, headache, sore throat, snotty nose, cough and achy little body. She was even walking slowly, which was a telling sign - this child is always dancing, twirling, flopping, jumping, running. Brennan took care of her again. Such a good big brother.

Bella, Harrison and Carter all went to school and had a good day. I went to work and was anticipating a not great time of it, but as it turned out, I was mostly alone with J the whole time. Boss Lady didn't make it into the store while I was there, and didn't call to give any instructions. I put myself to work and poured pans of dark chocolate raspberry swirl, maple bacon, and dark chocolate caramel sea salt fudge. It was nice, I did very well except for one pan, which ended up a little lumpier than it should have.

Picked Bella and her bass up at school and dropped them off at home, then went to the gas station and Winco and stocked up on groceries. This being General Conference weekend and the beginning of spring break, I bought a few extra treats. I came home and put the kids to work, then rested a while; went to Cinetopi@ and bought tickets for The Hunger Games.

Brennan left in the early afternoon and spent time with his friend Olga. They ended up in Portland at Lloyd Center. We were glad he was spending some social time with someone besides us.

After Hubby came home, we threw more food at the five "mouths" and took off for Cinetopi@, but when we arrived, with plenty of time to find seats at a normal movie theater, there was nowhere to sit except in the first two rows, and I absolutely refused. I watched one of the Twilight movies that way and it was miserable.

We went and got a refund (two movie passes) and I used my phone "find a theater and movie times" app to see where else it was playing. We drove there, got into the showing we wanted, and parked our butts. No one was taking our seats! The movie was excellent, excellent, excellent. I loved every minute, though I cried all my makeup off.

After the movie, we went to W@lmart for a few last minute pre-Conference purchases, went home and flopped into bed.
