1. cool beans wants to know what we do without the TV. Well, I’m only partly able to answer. We only went TV free part of the day. It was a half TV Free Tuesday. But I promise to make it up another day this week. Do make up days count? Can I still keep the cutie TV Free Tuesday button. Please? This, I can report, and it was good. I just bailed later in the day. Got busy, had to tutor someone in the must-dos when beginning homeschooling, and just said, aaawwww crap, just go watch TV. No. Really I said, you’ve been really good and imaginative all day (til 4 pm), you wanna watch a cartoon or two? That really is what I said.
What we did up til then is as follows:
Legos, Legos, Legos, pretend we’re dogs, pretend we’re cats, work in our new calendars, our morning chores, some laundry, drew sea turtles hatching eggs, baby turtles clawing towards the ocean, drew baby puppies with momma dogs, kittens with momma cats, a really bad horse (that was me), wrestled, got hurt and cried, stopped wrestling, counted the turtles eggs that were drawn, made lunch, had a long lunch, cleaned up after lunch, and by then, my friend was here. But it’s Andy Griffith for Pete’s sake! Right now, Opie’s getting called out by his teacher right in front of the whole class, and Sherriff Andy’s getting blamed for his not doing his homework (class erupts in chaos). It’s practically educational. I’m going to call it Mid Century Modern Social Studies. Now that’s a great class. We might do Mr. Ed next. It’s Husbandry.
2. What the h*ll is up with WW telling me my 25 minutes of wing flapping fun on the bike is only worth one activity point??? One measly point? I can burn more calories lifting a 1.5 liter of a good red wine. Shoot…that stinks really smelly.
3. I’ve noticed that the word verification dealy with which many of us must leave comments makes really funny words or sounds, or something, sometimes. I think I’m going to start a list, and post them. Yeah. Maybe that one’s not taken, or copywrited. Now what to call it…
