Movie Review: We're The Millers

Last night I watched We're The Millers.

The movie is insanely funny. I laughed through the whole movie.

On the negative side - The suicide reference (The best way to kill yourself) I found insulting and tacky.

Even before I knew the devastation of my husband's suicide, I didn't find suicide funny.

Suicide isn't funny. Yet movie producers put it in movies, thinking it's funny.

Maybe some people find it funny. But to a suicide survivor, it's insulting.

I've been warned that Anchorman 2 has a failed suicide scene in it, so be warned.

Other than the suicide reference, We're The Millers was hilarious.

I give We're The Millers 4 stars out of 5. They lost a star due to the suicide reference.

Highly recommend, make sure to watch the outtakes at the end.

The light

Here's a little secret about me.. I wake up at 3:00am every morning to go pee. Doesn't matter if I climbed in bed at 2:00am, come 3:00am.. BAM I am awake and have to pee.

This morning at 3:00am (of course) I was slowly being woken by a light.. a light I was watching from behind my eyelids.

It was slowly growing brighter, slowly getting closer.. but I was in a deep sleep.. Suddenly my eyes shot open. The light I was viewing from behind my eye lids, shot across my bedroom light a giant shooting star.

My first thought was "WTF is someone doing with a flashlight in my backyard??"

I got up and let my dog into the backyard. After all if there was someone in my backyard.. they wouldn't stay long seeing the size of my dog, nor would my dog be quite about someone being in the yard.
When I let her out I watched her from behind my locked door. She went out, did her business, and was ready to come back inside. She didn't even huff at anything. I couldn't hear anything (you couldn't jump my fence quietly now matter how good you are).

I let her back inside and crawled back into bed. I couldn't stop thinking about the light. Since I had to get up for work at 4:00am anyway.. I decided to just get up and go to work.

Now that I have done my job duties and can sit down and relax.. the visions of the light keep coming back to me.

It was a bright white light. It had a ball in the front of it with a white (straight) tail behind it. Now that I can actually think about the light and process what happened without sleep in my brain.. I can't shake the way the light looked.

The light was in my room.. it seemed to slowly be moving towards me, until I woke up.. than it quickly shot a crossed my room and disappeared. Almost like it didn't want to be seen?

Now this isn't the first time I have been woken up at 3:00am by something weird. I often hear someone say my name. I have been woken by the feeling that I'm not alone to find a shadow standing in my bedroom. Weirdness always happens around 3:00am.

I have often chalked it up to.. I was dreaming.

But this light I can't ignore. It was there. In my room. I was fully awake and frightened.

It's times like this that I know I am never truly alone.

Maybe my husband is still with me after all.
