  Today when I picked Aidan up from preschool I felt that familiar feeling. If you have kids, you probably know the one. It' s been way too long a week, and I am way too tired. If we go home right now I'm just going to be too bitey and feel bad about it later.
So instead of turning toward home (I got the car back from John), I kept on driving to the video store. This is the second Friday I've done this in just a few weeks and it's already starting to feel like a bit of a family tradition. Last time I got him Spirited Away and Jonah. urlLink Look at my reviews here . When I told Aidan we were going to the video store, he immediately started his pleading to get Spirited Away again.
I gave him that classic parental sell-out answer: we'll see. I was really hoping to get Nightmare Before Christmas to get us all in the mood for Halloween, but they only had the DVD and I thought to myself, if I wanted to watch the DVD, I sure wouldn't have come to the video store! But I did end up getting Spirited Away on DVD so we could rip it since Aidan seems to love it _so_ much.
At least, I thought I did. I got home to find Anastasia instead. I also got him Wild Thornberries. I figured since DMB and Paul Simon are on the soundtrack, the movie can't be that bad. Bend it Like Beckham and the Secretary rounded out the day's selections. Aidan will sit through almost any movie with a foreign language in it, so maybe he'll sit through Bend it Like Beckham with all the accents? We'll see. Watch for my upcoming reviews...
