Tomorrow the kids get their TV back! Not sure I want that to happen, I mean just look at my son before school these days. Instead of eating a bowl of cereal while watching TV, he's now eating it while READING!
We will be limiting how much TV they watch though, especially with only one more week left of school, they absolutely will NOT be watching TV entire summer days. There is so much more to life than television! I'm glad this month proved to them that they can survive without Disney and Nick TV shows, those are really the only shows they watch, and they are funny, but I admit they were watching them too much!
Am I happy this month is over? Yes and no...always mixed feelings for me. I'm happy I'll have the radio back in my truck while driving, it really is weird how the drives can feel so much longer when there is no music to sing along to while driving. My daughter and I tried singing on our own and that worked fine, until we couldn't remember the words and just kept singing the same parts over and over again. I'm so thankful for God's gift of music to us!!!
Twitter, I still can care less about. Fun phone apps, I can live without, but of course will be fun again. Fun websites, there have been a couple of times I wanted to play on one with my kids so that will be nice to have back. Texting, will be nice to have full access to again, it was hard to limit, but I think I did ok. Phone conversations, those don't happen to often these days anyway, texting takes their place, I would much rather have a face to face or walking conversations over both of those though. Youtube, that's where I failed the most, it was just too much fun watching the comedians on there, I'm glad I'll be able to watch it freely now and not feel guilty for it! Facebook, yeah I want it back I have no clue what's happening in some of my friends/families lives or the world for that matter! HA!!! I definitely will be limiting it like I will be limiting TV for my kids though. The hard part, I have my phone with me constantly which will have facebook access once again, unless I decide to just keep it off of my phone and only access it through the computer...hmmm, I'll have to think about that one. It's a good idea but I'm not sure I want to! It just provides something to do on those times when my honey is driving me around places. I would read a book but for some reason, I get sick while reading a book, I don't get sick while reading a phone screen though. Has anyone else experienced that? Maybe I need a Kindle! :) Well enough about Media, it was nice to unplug, but I'll be happy to have it back. I'll have to catch up on the news, anything interesting happening lately?!
