Like a moth to a flame...

Here is what a wonderful mother I am.


The last few days we have been working tirelessly outside in our yard, getting ready for, and then putting in sod. (For this I am more grateful than you will ever know!)  So, I haven't been able to do any computer time, or much of what really interests me.  I decided today, that I could spend some time on the computer and enjoy just a little ME time.  Well, I can take as much 'me' time as I want, but my children are always around. While I was downstairs on the computer I heard my kids begin to quarrel and fight, screaming and playing around.  I was tired of it, and tired of yelling to knock it off. I thought for a moment, walked into the family room and just turned on the t.v.  I didn't say anything, I didn't call my kids down, I just went right back into the computer room.   Within 2 minutes--all 3 of my fighting children were downstairs, quiet, and zoned out on the the t.v.    

Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.  So nice to have them quiet and sitting still.  Thanks t.v.  You're a great babysitter.
