Yeah, I’m a TV addict and over the last week I’ve been trying to cut it out a little. On the days I do, I find i have all this extra time I didn’t realize I had before. Like yesterday. Dennis was already asleep when i got home so it wasn’t difficult. I left it off. Didn’t get back to it till 9pm to see showdogs moms and dads. (waste of my viewing time, btw) But I managed to get all the unopenned mail and paper clutter off the kitchen countertop. And trust me , there was a lot of it.

The problem with turning it on, is that it’s addicting and difficult to turn it back off. J actually had a little tantrum when she went for her dvd’s and handed one to me but I wouldn’t put it on for her. But she got over it. Now that I think back on it. I probably should have let her see it.. but I dunno.. the damn tv is on all day with D anyways.

So, I’m going to keep up with it. (the not watching so much tv, i mean) but it won’t be easy w/ D, I don’t think. I had it off one day this past week and he was the first to turn it back on. He’s always got his face in one screen or another. If it’s not the TV, it’s the laptop.

tv turnoff week is April 25 - May 1, 2005. We’re going to attempt to do it. That week without power after the hurricanes was not so bad. Sure it was hot and sweaty but the best part was just sitting around talking and playing cards. I wanna try to capture some of that again.
