Last week our family decided to "fast" from television from Monday through Friday. This was a time for us to reconnect as a family and kind of get our priorities "in check". We have done this several times in the past, but I am always amazed at how much that "thing" is on and, unfortunately, how I will use it as a babysitter while I try to get dinner fixed (okay, okay, don't throw stones). So, now we're into the next week--- will we go back to our old habits?? I sure hope not. I seem to do pretty well at only allowing the kids certain times to watch television. The problem seems to be ME! After the kids are in bed and I'm snuggled in my own, the channel surfing seems to begin. So, I am determined not to get back into this terrible habit. I am allowing myself 30 minutes of television a day AND, if there's nothing else worth watching, (which is almost always the case) there will be NONE! Surely, I will get caught up on all of the books I'm so far behind on!!!!

Great job! We need to do this. I like to use the tv to get John Reagan out of my space when I need to get things done. Thanks for the inspiration.
Does Campbell "understand" how to play candyland? If so, I am waaaay behind on doing this with Tyler. There are certain things he just doesn't comprehend yet. Great job and I will definately not be throwing stones at you. I completely understand, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a lifesaver when I am preparing meals!!!! The last thing I want to hear are 3 little people "yelling" at me!!!
You are inspiration! I would like to say that we don't watch T.V. that much, but we watch it more than we need to. If I let them, they are very content watching their shows (especially Reagan). Way to go!!!
