Dare I say I didn't watch American Idol last night? Dare I say that for some reason I am finding it a litte boring this year so far? I did watch the girls but aside from the great grey haired guy I don't care to watch the guys sing? I am sure that when it is more narrowed down it will be better and I will watch since I do every year. Lost was good. Could ramble on forever about Lost. Though one more day until Battlestar Gallactica. Now THAT is a good show. Anyways, Carter is back on ER tonight. okay okay for some reason I am in a tv talking mood so I will discuss the fact that I might be stopping to watch most tv. What?? you say? Well a year or two ago I was convicted that I shouldn't and the children really shouldn't be watching tv. And I rarely did. The children had movie day once a week where they could watch usually 2 videos and Clay and I would watch tv ourselves. I actually tried many times to convince Clay to take the tvs outside and smash em and let the children watch how Mommy and Daddy thought it was a poor use of time. But at that time Clay watched a lot of tv, spent all his free time watching it and of course said no way Jose. Jump to now. When things got rough last year I started watching tv a lot again. Didn't help that we now live with my mother who has to sleep with the tv on even. But it was nice to be able to zone out in the tv when things were so sad and so hard. And now, Clay doesn't watch tv ever. Maybe one movie a week and that is it. He mentioned to me yesterday that if these weren't my Mom's tvs he would take me up on the smashing offer. That he thinks we should all stop watching a lot of tv. Almost down to nothing. Wow. So I have to pray about this. I know that it is ideal to not watch tv. I need to have some quiet to think and hear God speak. To spend more time with the children and them having less time watching tv and more time playing and learning and being real children. I admit is was A LOT easier to not watch tv when I had a garden to tend, chickens to take care of and property the children could play outside in for hours at a time. But tv is an addiction and in a way I am afraid of trying to take it out of our lives. Hmmm.... a ramble. Will be an interesting time though for sure. On a side note, since hello won't publish my post for some reason without an image to go with it, here is an old layout I did for the FP for Carrie Stephens. Isn't that kit GORGEOUS??
