So I’ve felt out of sorts all week long.? I couldn’t quite put my finger on it… why did I feel so restless?? Couldn’t be nesting becuase that’s supposed to be a restless urge to clean and we all know I would never have an urge to clean something.? God forbid.? So what the heck *is* it?
Well, I think I’ve got it figured.? I miss TV.
All the season finales ended last week and now I’m left with a vast array of nothingness.? There is zip, zilcho, nada on the tube and I’m suffering for it.? No House on Tuesdays, no Lost or Amazing Race on Wednesdays… and (*shudder*) no ER on Thursdays. Let’s not even talk about Sunday night.? I may just start hyperventilating here.
Each night, I’m cruising the channels, searching for something, anything to fullfill my entertainment needs.? And so far, the best I could come up with was Rebuilt last night, followed by a large portion of some movie I can’t even remember what it was.? And the night before was more pathetic than that.? Well, save for Dangerous Catch which is really pretty darned interesting. But what else is there??? As far as I know, none of the summer shows have started yet.? And the pickin’s?? Pretty slim.? I mean, there’s Big Brother but that doesn’t start until after the 4th of July and by then, we’re nearly to Baby Day and by then I’ll be too darned busy to watch tv.? Darnit.
WHY do the summer shows not start till July?? What’s so great about JULY? (Okay, wrong question.? July is pretty freakin’ rockin’ this year)? But what to do about JUNE, because I’m not loving it so far and I’m only 18 hours and change into it.
So the question is:? What do I watch?? Because I have to watch *something*.? And it doesn’t have to be guy-friendly because K will just be upstairs playing Halo.? Like he does EVERY night.? Like the other night when it was quarter to ten and I was watching something *stupid*… and here comes H down the stairs in his pj’s.? When asked why he wasn’t in bed yet, he said that papa hadn’t put him to bed yet.? See, putting H to bed has been K’s job for years.? But lately, he’ll go upstairs to put him to bed and hours later, the kid is still up because K decided to play some Halo while waiting for H to brush his teeth.? Riiight.? K contends that H doesn’t need him to put him to bed.? He gets his teeth brushed, gets his jammies on … what more is there?? According to H?? Getting tucked in.? He’s waiting for the ritual of being tucked in bed at night.? But 10 o’clock at night??? That’s just silly right there.? So I think I might have to start taking over bedtime duties.? This kid is going to start first grade in a little over a month and he’ll have to go to bed at a decent time and get up at a decent time.? Of course, it could be hard to manage this with the new baby in the house but someone who isn’t a Halo addict has to take the reins here.
Bless his heart, he’s just blowing off steam.
(Course, sometimes the blowing off of the steam CAUSES more steam, but what can ya do?)
Anyhow, where was I?? Oh yeah!? No television to watch.? Heck, I suppose I could start going to bed early.? Seeing as how in a while here I won’t be able to sleep hardly at all.? Maybe I should stockpile it while I can.? But how hard is it for SOMEONE to program some good stuff to watch during the month of June?

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
