Am I the only one being slowly driven insane by Star Wars lately?  It is EVERYWHERE I look!  The boys wear the t-shirts, they play scenes from the different episodes outside with their light sabers (don't even ask about the insanity that occurs should someone get his fingers hit with one), they play the Star Wars interactive video game, and start various discussions about the movies' merits throughout the day.  I can't go shopping--almost every isle contains something bearing the logo.

It isn't that I dislike Star Wars.  I think its ok.  I don't mind watching it once in a while.  It began to get very old the other day when I found myself in the middle of an argument about how Qui-Gon died in Episode 1.  Normally, I wouldn't have allowed such an argument, but, having been forced to watch Episode 1 just days earlier, I knew for a fact (if graphics are facts) that I saw the light saber go through his chest.  AAARRRGGHH!

I am considering taking a brief break from it all.  My only hope, I believe, is to go down to Sugar Hollow Park and take the path through the trees that ends up on a nice high hill.  There I can listen to the birds and enjoy the scenery and hopefully no one will walk by wearing an Episode 3 t-shirt.

Dream of the Day:  ONE WHOLE DAY where the boys talk about NEITHER Star Wars NOR Lord of the Rings (I love LOTR also, but hey, I can only take SO MUCH!!!!!)
