exactly. exactly. exactly! i love all the benefits of not watching so
much tv. however, i love watching tv. i said it. i'm an addict. and i
completely agree with the computer. it helps with the snow days and i've
discovered that not watching so much of it through the day allows them to
really WANT to see it when i really want them to see it. yep. i'm with ya!

Our TV has been on the fritz for a couple of weeks, and I've also been surprised that I seem to miss it more than the kids. The less we have it on during the day, the more time we can watch our shows in the evening before it starts making this ear-piercing pitch, so by limiting the cartoons I'm doing something healthy for them and getting a reward after they're tucked in. That said, thank God we can play some of their movies on the laptop, especially if we get more snow.

we went on our LAST dvr remote hunt this morning to send the box back. made
me crazy!
if you watch no shows you could definitely do it. i watched a bazillion
shows. it was what matt and i did for “us” time.
and you can netflix lots of shows through your computer if the speed is
fast enough – you can still get that kid quiet time. kipper has become a
favorite for BigMan now that his beloved dvr'd Monsters Inc. is gone.

ugh, and all the lame cheesy jokes. really? and do you know what you're
reading ms. newscaster? you're smiling while talking about a tragedy –
makes me miss my cable news stations.

it's not so much the commercials for me as just wanting to pause to check
on babies, pause to get some popcorn, pause to go to the bathroom. it's all
about me, really.
