Dear Patrons of the Hotel,Julia read Twilight twice (but oddly none of the other books in the series), and then re-read it last week in anticipation of the release of the movie this weekend. Then she saw the movie Friday night, Saturday night, and Saturday evening, making poor Schyler watch this Vampire/Teen/Chick Flick each and every time (poor guy!).
I was asleep before they got home from last night's showing was over, so when I get up around midnight to check on my little pumpkin, make certain the door's locked, etc. . . . . She's awake and reading the second book in the series . . . New Moon . . .
It gets better . . . .
I got up at 8:00 this morning and checked on her, and she'd moved from the downstairs t.v. room to her bedroom, which is progress for those of you who know I've been fighting with her to actually sleep in her bedroom and in her bed! But oh, no, my enthusiasm was remarkably short-lived, for when I tip-toed upstairs to check on my sweet child, she (a) WAS in her room, (b) WAS in her bed, but (C) SHE WAS STILL READING HER BOOK! When I told her to go to bed, she replied "Dad, I only have three pages left, and then I'm going to sleep!" as if this were the most natural thing in the world for her to do.
So like her mother! But I guess I should look on the bright side . . . she's at least reading!

Hey....it least it gets them reading. I had about fifteen girls with their heads stuffed in that book for the last two weeks of school. I figure at least it might improve their grammar or spelling. Or, OMG, expand their minds....aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
