About me I am a SAHM with four kids from high school age down to elementary school age. I love to read all of the time and don't feel quite right if I haven't read for at least a small amount of time each day. I will read nearly everything and can usually find something that I like in every type of book. I am also a movieaholic and really like to read a book and then see the movie - although it is rare to find a movie as good as the book (and sometimes that even follows the book). All of my children seem to be following right in my footsteps!

About my library My library is only a small sampling of my actual home library which consists of two tall bookscases in the living room full of books, a tall bookcase in the dining room full of cookbooks, two bookcases in the basement full of books (about to become three bookscases in the basement) and one tall bookcase and two short bookcases in my bedroom, you guessed it, full of books. My children's room are also full of books and there are boxes full of books in various places through the house. Someday, I hope to catalog more of my books but right now I am too busy on this website and reading all of those books.

It's probably a PG-13 so the youngsters could go see it. I don't think there's a "scary factor" for the ratings, just sex, violence and language. It's more suspenseful and intense than terrifying, actually. PLUS, it has a great message to it, one that the book did not have. Watch it during the day, put on a nice happy unicorn movie afterwards to distance yourself from it to prevent sleeping with the lights on, you know. :-D It is a good movie.

Yeah, in my opinion, the movie is even scarier than the short story. So you might not want let the little'uns watch it. ;-)

Those were the two I didn't like, either. I just didn't get the point to the carnival one. I kept waiting for the carny to drop dead, or the contestant to become a moster or alien or something. And the whole Loopy one just was so "eh", though that one has been made into a movie with Robert Englund Freddy Kruger of Elm Street fame as the barker for the Loopy.

My favorite ones were the funeral with the fictional monsters in attendance, the one with the hunter/doll, and the Witch Doctor one.

I'm curious to know which of the Legend stories you didn't like. I'm wondering if their the same as mine. :-D

If no one has snagged The Guardians I will take it.

Actually Pushing up Daisies came in the mail today. As soon as I read it I'll pass it on to the next interested person if you message me the name and address. Thanks again.

No problem. I appreciate you taking time out to send it to me. I will send it out to someone else. I think books are made to be passed around. Thanks again for the book.

It was difficult for us when I was a stay at home mom, too.. but I suspect it is even harder now. We had zero money for extras like vacation and fancy clothes. Even books were hard come by, but we were in walking distance from the library ! I promise that you will never have a moments regret. A school is perfect, as you are able to be with the kids when they are home. I too started working when my youngest was in second grade.. I worked "mothers hours" at a couple of places when we lived in Massachusetts.. we lived there for 3 years when the steel mills shut down in Pgh ..It was easier to find that sort of job there. Then when my youngest was in 6th grade we were back home in Pgh and I went back to work, mostly in medical sorts of environments which gave me good hours. I wish that I had known then about the job that I have now!perfect schedule...tough job though. I imagine that it would have been easier when I was younger.

It is very hard having the kids far away. Very hard. I miss them every single day. But they are doing what they want.. and having lives that they enjoy. Still.. I often wish they were close..

take care and have a great weekend.
