Movie Review: The Spectacular Now



Ami & I rented “The Spectacular Now” from Redbox staring Shailene Woodley & Miles Teller. At first I was a little confused on where the movie was going but I finally figured out the story line a bit and it started to all come together. It really keeps you going, like out of nowhere Aimee (Shailene Woodley) gets hit by a car! I was at the edge of my seat! I would have never of saw that coming. Thank goodness she was okay. I think it was a very heartwarming movie since Sutter (Miles Teller) is a teen alcoholic because of his alcoholic father left his family and he is just wanting to be loved. The two main characters did a fantabulous job at acting in this film together. I am particularly proud of the beautiful actor Shailene’s performance. I give this movie 4 stars & suggest to people who enjoy watching R rated films. It had some sexual scenes and shows alcoholism often. I was really surprised that Shailene showed off her lovely body and even a scene where you see her breasts!

Moving Soon



I got the letter the other day that we are moving soon. 
I am pretty excited about it because it will be a lot bigger than the little two bedroom apartment we are stuck up in right now. 
I do have one concern though that the kids will have problems sleeping in their own rooms since they share a room right now plus we will be in a new environment. 
Hopefully all goes well in the new place.

Melatonin



So my son’s doctor had suggested that I use 3mg of Melatonin to help him get to sleep tonight because he has issues going to sleep. I bought the melatonin and have been giving it to him every night for the past month. He has done fine on it. He is two years old so I was a little worried about giving him medication to help get him to sleep even though it is tiring to hear him wine and scream all night long. I decided it would probably be best to try it since he is having so many troubles. I figured it would be ok to do since the doctor suggested it and Melatonin is supposed to be all natural. The other day I came across a blog post of a mother that used Melatonin with their daughter for years and all of a sudden she started having seizures and it might have been linked to Melatonin. Now I am worried whether it is ok to use the Melatonin with my son every night or if it is going to have a very nasty side effect of seizures or something fatal with him. I am very concerned, not sure what to do, not sure if I should continue this. Does anyone have any experience in this that they could share?
