http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall I live with 2 non-stop talkers (my husband and oldest child) and one that looks like she will be too (my baby). They don't let me get a word in. Here is what I want to talk about. en-us http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/8377 I love this trailer.&nbsp; It shows so much.&nbsp; I can't wait till July 13th.&nbsp; I've already taken the day off of work to see the movie. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/8296 I thought it looked really interesting.&nbsp; What do you think? http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/7139 I know I'm a little nuts but here goes.&nbsp; The cover art was released today for Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.&nbsp; I think it looks great.&nbsp; Just thought I'd share. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/6362 My seven year old recently discovered the joys of reading.&nbsp; She has always loved to Look at books and have them read to her, but now she reads to herself and her baby sister.&nbsp; As a consequence to her new found love of books, we raided my childhood bedroom to find my old books.&nbsp; Among the books were my two favorite series.&nbsp; The Little House Books and Nancy Drew Mysteries kept me occupied for many years (I always re-read books I love so I read them over and over for years).&nbsp; She doesn't seem interested in either series too much.&nbsp; My instinct is to make her read them because I know she will love them (I know that isn't logical but that's me).&nbsp; I am fighting that instinct so I won't ruin her love of reading.&nbsp; I was wondering what my fellow bloggers like to read as a child.&nbsp; Any suggestions on what a seven year old (almost eight) would like? http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5959 One of the most rewarding and frustrating jobs a person can have is as a parent.&nbsp; I have two children and over the weekend my 15 month old made me glad to be a mom.&nbsp; She has been sick for nearly two weeks.&nbsp; She finally started feeling better over the weekend.&nbsp; So, I decided to let her participate in what she believes is the funnest thing on the planet.&nbsp; I gave her a bath.&nbsp; She was in a bedroom with her sister when I started the bath.&nbsp; She must have heard the water because I heard the biggest happiest squeal and a few seconds later she was crawling into the bathroom (she can walk she just crawls faster).&nbsp; I got her undressed and put her in the water.&nbsp; She kicked her little legs, beat the water with her little hands, and laughed to bring down the house.&nbsp; I couldn't help but laugh along with her.&nbsp; After I got her out I realized that I was just as wet (along with the bathroom) as she was.&nbsp; Giving my baby a bath is one of the greatest joys of my being a mom.<br /> <br /> Do any of you parents out there have fun stories to share about your kids?<br /> http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/5431 All I have to say is YIPPEE.&nbsp; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows will be out on July 21st, 2007.&nbsp; OMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!&nbsp; If anybody tries to contact me on that day I will be so angry.&nbsp; <br /> <br /> WOO HOO.&nbsp; I am going to be useless today.&nbsp;&nbsp; I am just so happy. http://www.tehachapinews.com/home/Blog/dhall/1698 Driving in the fog today I came across my biggest driving pet peeve.&nbsp; I HATE when people drive in the fog without their lights on.&nbsp; I was driving east on Tehachapi Blvd about to make a left turn into the Taco Samich parking lot when a gray SUV without its lights on comes barreling down the street..&nbsp; I thought I'd take out my road rage in a constructive blog instead of driving around town hunting down that SUV.
