OK, yesterday was interesting to say the least! I didn't think this was going to be all too difficult, I was wrong. I realized that i seem to use the television as a filler for human relationship. Jonathan is away this week for work, bad timing for a tv fast? I also seem to think it is something to relax to, but lets be honest how much of the "boob tube" is actually relaxing??
I hardly consider myself a couch potatoe, of course now I am starting to wonder. I made dinner(which was tricky with no video for kids), fed the children, played a game, sang a thousand songs. Still only 6:15!!! OK, so we did baths, brushed teeth, dressed three kids...yep Finally 7:15! Put kids to bed. Baby up screaming, her normal 7:30 tunes. I fed Baby, bathed baby (and my self infact:), diapered and dressed Baby, dressed self ( by the way, I can do this with one arm and half asleep..of course it also looks that way:). Whew 8:00pm Now what!!? I called the hubby while rocking the munchkin and eating popcorn ( he complained it was too loud and said goodnight). Sat listening to music, feeding baby. The lack of something was making me lose whatever sanity I had left!!
I caved, arg. I put on American Idol at 9pm. Baby finally out at 9:45 turned off the tube and passed out.
Was it loneliness, boredom, perhaps addiction that drew me back to the tube? Can you get addicted to such things?

My vote is boredom.
