Sorry about that bit of unpleasantness yesterday.  I had a VERY hard day.  I’m not sure what made that day so much more difficult than any other but sometimes that’s just the way it happens.  You never know when depression (and I’m all but convinced that that is what it is) will rear it’s head and how.  You all are just so lucky that I drag you along for the ride!

*cough*

I slept much better last night, less jaw clenching.  I also dreamed of Disney World.  Coincidence?  I think not.  I think this just proves that I need to go back.  Don’t you think?

In other news, it’s Thursday.  One day closer to Friday.  Not that there’s anything particularly fabulous happening this Friday.  But the mere fact that it will be FRIDAY and that we can finally go grocery shopping on Saturday and we’ll have a few days to just hole up and recover… that makes it awesome.  Yay, Thursday!  I feel as though I might actually make it now.

When will Noggin change their morning lineup.  WHEN?? I cannot stand it as it is now.  At least from the Pacific Time Zone point of view.  Oswald?  Franklin?  Maggie and the Ferocious Beast?  Miss SPIDER??  COME ON, NOGGIN!  It’s hard enough to make it through the morning without me falling asleep in my knitting.

The afternoon schedule is just fine.  Evie absolutely loses her mind when WonderPets comes on, even if it does make my eyes roll.  Liam has a warm fuzzy place in his heart for Wow, Wow Wubzy.   I’ll even (barely) tolerate Dora and Diego because at least it’s not OSWALD.

Let’s switch up the morning schedule!  Put some more Jack’s Big Music Show in there!  Some Blue’s Clues!  I’m begging you!  I’m tired of watching PBS in the mornings.  Their lineup is far preferable but I miss Moose and Zee.

Speaking of such things, what happened to Playhouse Disney?  Harry used to watch that all the time when he was little.  Back in the golden days of Bear in the Big Blue House, Stanley, Rollie Pollie Ollie, The Book of Pooh and this show where they built this clubhouse out of cardboard and did all sorts of make believe but now I can’t remember the name of it.  Nowadays it’s Handy Manny.  I don’t like Handy Manny.  I think it’s stupid.  Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (or whatever it’s called) isn’t so bad.  But they need mooooore.  What the heck, Disney?

I refuse to watch Nick Jr. cuz it’s has commercials.  I know, I’m already poisoning my childrens minds by letting them watch TV, what harm is a few commercials here and there?   I don’t have to explain my reasons to you.   I vow to remain commercial free.  So no Nick Jr.

Besides, if we watched Nick Jr, I might have to watch the Fresh Beat Band.  And I don’t care that Evie dances every time Noggin shows one of their “music videos”, I have my limits, people.

It’s a sad state of affairs when I don’t have anything to talk about on a Thursday morning besides childrens programming.  I think this speaks volumes about the monotony of my life.

Except, of course, to bring to you attention a FABULOUS contest that going on RIGHT NOW on my review blog.  Oh yes.  A contest!  With a PRIZE.  What prize, do you ask?  A $100 Visa gift card.  Now tell me that you can’t use that.  You can’t.  Because we could ALL use a $100 Visa gift card.

So what are you waiting for?  Why are you hanging out HERE, listening to me prattle on about kiddie shows?  Get over to the review blog and enter that contest (and read about a super handy program from AT&T Wireless while you’re at it).

The contest is going through 9/20, so I’ll be reminding you periodically to get over there and enter it.  But it doesn’t hurt to go do it NOW before you forget.  Or before you get sucked into the latest episode of “Word World”.
