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”.

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
We’re strictly a PBS in the morning house. Until Sesame Street comes on. I don’t like it anymore – I remember when we were little and even when I was babysittting kids who watched it. It was GOOD. Now, I can’t stand it. So, from 630 – 900, we’re PBS. Then, most of the time, we leave the house to go grocery shopping or whatever else needs to be done that day. Most of the time we get home between 10-11 and it’s PBS again. Then at 11, it’s Price is Right. Elizabeth loves it, (she yells COME ON DOWN! at inappropriate times, it’s cute) and it’s a nice break from kids shows for me. The afternoon I try to get her outside in the backyard to play as much as possible so that I don’t have to search for somethign for her to watch. Although that girl does love the Game Show Network if all else fails.
I forgot to mention on yesterday’s comment about dentists that my dentist told me the long-term prescription for my jaw clenching was annual trips to Hawaii…I have yet to go even once! LOL
Out of the box
I am completely with you on TV programming (though I did see your post about PBS and Noggin changing their schedules). The thing that annoys me the most is that my kids REALLY like the Disney programming in the morning, but um, now that it’s summer (or still summer….blah), it’s only on until 10am, and then we are subjected to Phineas and Ferb. Ugh. I’m hoping it changes on Monday back to ending at 12 or I’ll definitely have to remember to start using my DVR to record stuff that starts at 6am (like Little Einsteins).
