I Actually Miss My Kid When He’s Away

“Something highly unusual happened this week: I got to sleep in late. In fact, one morning I slept until 8:30 AM, which I don’t think has happened since I gave birth to my child,” writes Janine Annett today. “Throughout the week, I also watched several movies that didn’t involve the Marvel universe, had an adult beverage or two, ate meals that didn’t need to be kid-friendly, read books, and spent some alone time with my husband.”

Sounds pretty great, right? Well, it’s not perfect: “It might sound like a dream to be able to take a break from the relentless pace of parenting (and it was nice to catch up on some much-needed sleep!), I also really miss my kid when he isn’t here,” she writes. It’s a nice piece if you’re getting a little ready for sleepaway camp to end.

IT JUST NEVER GETS OLD
15 Years Ago, “Twilight” Gave Us The Campy Vampire Love Story That Truly Won’t Die

“It’s November 21, 2008, and the atmosphere is buzzing. I’m in a movie theater with about 200 others (99% women) waiting for the premiere of the film adaptation of ‘Twilight’, the vampire love story based on the 2005 Stephanie Meyer novel,” Morgan Flaherty sets the scene today. “Fast forward nearly 15 years, and I sit here having just rewatched ‘Twilight’ for the first time in over a decade. And, hold on tight, spider monkeys, because I have a lot to say.” Please enjoy this walk down memory lane!
