TV Land May 16, 2006

Here are the things I have recently watched on TV:
- The Buffalo Sabres winning. And winning. And winning. And losing. And winning.
- The Mighty Ducks winning
- The Edmonton Oilers Winning
- (I skipped the New Jersey/Carolina series…My team was playing at the same time)
- The Red Sox (when not rained out)
- Lady and the Tramp
- Beauty and the Beast
- Sagwa
- Bob the Builder
- Blue’s Clues
- March of the Penguins
Do you see a pattern here? Sports and kid shows (the Penguins were for the kids, but now I have to explain why seals eat Penguins. Lovely)
I read about American Idol. I have NEVER seen it. I read about Lost, again, I have never seen it.
But damn, I know my Disney movies!
I know many people TIVO stuff (hey, look! I made a verb from a noun!), but even if I had the will to spend $10 bucks more a month, would I really watch it? I wonder. How do you all have TIME to watch TIVO? Really?
Here’s a quick breakdown of my day:
Have small child(ren) attack our bed. Turn on TV, snooze for 60 minutes while PBS educates them (don’t even start with me, YOU get up with them at 6 am if you don’t like TV as a babysitter). Then, get up, shower, get girls dressed, get me dressed not always in that order. Solve crisis du jour (today was Soleil’s jammies fell off when she went to the bathroom, 30 minute scream fest), eat, get everybody in car. Drive to daycare. Drop off, hope Luna doesn’t scream. Work. Enjoy the quiet. Get back to daycare, get girls, get home, Dr. Jay cooks, I play, we eat, I clean, Get ready for bed. 1 hour of getting girls to bed (or longer) and by 9-10, we are done. Then we want to sleep.
I assume some of you (parents) have kids that sleep. Really. I don’t, so TV is what I can watch when I can watch it.
Sigh…
I suspect Johnny will be shaking his head and saying something about crime, but I always thought we would get some semblance of sleep. We still have nights when Soleil is up until 11. She’s in her room, but we can’t force her to sleep….
Have I mentioned it’s still raining? Cities northeast of us are floating away
