So guess what?
After going off about television a few blogs ago, guess what my kids did the very next day??? Yep, you guessed it! They watched T.V. Uh-huh, you read that right! For a solid 90 minutes, too!
It was one of my "reality moments" as a mom... the deadline for a newsletter I write was quickly approaching, I had letters to write and calls to make for work, I had to read several articles for various research, it was ickly and drizzly outside, my 5-year old was whining with ever-increasing volume and my toddler was turning into a complete lunatic without a nap!
It's completely and utterly amazing how quickly they calmed to a near zombie-like state when I turned that television on! It was a rare moment, indeed, that I found myself actually thankful for their temporary braindeath!!!!
Aaaaaaahhhhhhh.... I finally got a little piece and quiet... finished what I needed to... then fed them each a spoonful of fish oil to replenish their brains, gave them a big glass of water, then took them outside for some high energy freeze tag!
Hey, it all balances out, right?!
