That"s right, no Curious George, no Arthur, and no Super Why. That also means no March Madness (college basketball championship tournament) and no This Old House as well as Antiques Roadshow. Whew! I depend on these shows to keep people occupied so that I can get things done without being interrupted. But, the kids have gotten to the point that they are arguing over who gets to watch what and when, which is driving this old school marm nutty! So I've put a ban on the TV in hopes of more harmony in the household and more time for my hubby and I to spend together. He was all for it BTW.
The little cherubs are out in the pasture now catching butterflies and grasshoppers with their butterfly nets and popping each poor creature in their bug boxes. Pre-TV ban they would have been sitting on their behinds watching Curious George at this time. So they are getting exercise and studying God's creation (P.E. & Science). What more could I ask for? Of course most of this was written tounge in cheek, we were watching too much television and schoolwork was starting to suffer and I didn't want just one more distatraction so eliminating TV for one week seemed the simplest. Actually, it hasn't been missed that much thus far - We"ll see how it goes. Blessings! Julie |
