I struggle every morning having to do the before school routine.  I just want to take them out now.  Bub is in the middle of SAT testing, so taking them out this week is not a good option.  The have earned this end of the year play time where there are lots of field trips and it's a more relaxed atmosphere.  I don't want to deny them that but I am ready for the rat race to end.  43 days until the end of the year (if we make it...).

I have decided to take the satellite cable out of my son's room.  I understand this is not a foriegn concept, but I'm just realizing that there is nothing WHOLESOME on tv anymore, not even and sometime especially cartoons.  My next mission is to censor the games...I only let him play the games I approve (according to ratings) but I just realized that the people that come up with the ratings DO NOT have the same morales and values that I have that I am trying to instill in my children.  Explain to me why a cartoon that is meant for small children has sexual references???  There is almost no such thing as innocence.  I guess I've been being naive...

I'm sorry this has not been the most upbeat post...but ARRRGGHHHH I am so mad.  Now is the time to change these things...I applaud the women of this blog site for the changes you've already made and for the women who have taken a stand from the beggining....KUDOS TO YOU!!!
