Good - found the dress I'm going to wear to DJ's graduation later this month

Bad - had an attack of sobs in the middle of Hallmark when it started to hit me that my little boy is graduating high school.

Good - Truly enjoyed Hatfields & McCoys (though I think I'm the only one I know who watched it)

Bad - I have a powerfully strong Johnse voice in my head, one that pokes my brain with sharp sticks...especially when "Bartholomew" comes on my iPod

Really Bad - I'd only want to play him with a Roseanna, to give them a chance at a non-Shakespearean ending...which means muse will remain in my head alone.

Good - For the most part, I'm proud of the young adult DJ has become.

Bad - however, sometimes he's really a complete dick

I watched it! Okay, I have a little of the end to still watch, but that's because it gets too depressing and I have to be in a right state of mind. I'm mad that I missed half of the "true history" thing they had on the History Channel today that was narrated by Kevin Costner. I would have recorded it if I had known it was going to be on. And it doesn't appear to be playing again anytime soon. Why would it when they have eight billion UFO shows to air?

I can't believe one of your babies is graduating already! At least you still have another baby to go yet. I tell you, they aren't kidding when they say it goes by in a blink of an eye.

And my son can be a real dick, too. He's good 95% of the time but then he goes into full dick mode and I have to walk away.

It was depressing as hell - I absolutely bawled over Johnse at the grave markers, and then when Cotton got it. I have no idea why it resonated so much with me, but it did. I wish I'd known about the special because I'd have DVR'd it...but I'm sure they'll replay it. tried searching history.com, but couldn't find a repeat date. Maybe Hulu?

I wouldn't mind so much if he wasn't primarily being a dick to his brother.

I know the History Channel loves to play stuff over and over. It will be back on I'm sure. The hour I caught was very interesting. It's a sad part of history that those two families went through that for so long. Heck, my one cousin hasn't spoken to me since 1998 because of a pig roast so I guess these things happen. It's always the pig!

I kind of wish my kid had a brother so he could be a dick to someone else besides me. Ah, teenagers. They know everything.

I haven't watched it yet, since I don't get the History Channel, but my dad was telling me today how awesome it is. I found out a bit ago that they have it up on the History Channel website, so I will be watching it soon :)

It's not easy to watch at times, but it really drew me in. Hope you enjoy it!

I really respect a woman who can express both of those feelings. It should happen more often in a better world.
No one should be immune to the benefits of a loving, smart ass mother.

Xoxoxo
Your really big fan, Ashleigh

I snuggle you.

Yay dress! And graduation and stuff. That does have to be a really bizarre feeling.

It really is. I look at moms with their babies in strollers and it feels like yesterday, I was the one worrying about naps and potty training. Now? I'm torn between pride and wanting to smack some sense into him.
