tv turn off week

friends,
i have a confession.
this last week was
national turn off your tv week.
bizarre
right?

i know what you're asking..
why would such a week exist
when tv is so educational 
and informative and
allows you to 
feel so
productive?
i asked these questions too.

well, 
i was assigned to turn off my tv all week
and write a paper about my experiences.

the problem is,
i did not just subscribe to
one month free of netflix and watch Army Wives 
everyday.

i'd also like to make it clear that
i did not sit on Skype with Mr and
watch fantasy factory.

and just so we're all on the same page
i did not watch ellen degeneres
everyday at 4 p.m.
since the kids i nanny for were
on spring break this week so i could finally
watch her for the first time
all semester.

looks like this paper
will be a breeze
with all the tv watching
i
did
not
do.

    I really don't think I could go a week without tv.
    Mostly for the kids and th background noise.
    Even if the kids are sleeping, I still have it on cartoons half the time.
    It's completely background noise to me.
    I had no idea such a week existed.

    ahahahaha!! sometimes i think my children will die if they don't get to watch their "shows" i should try it for just one day and see what happens. but then sneak up to my own room and watch food network and all "my" shows i DVR during the day and watch when they go to bed. I'd be good at "not" watching too...hahaha!

    hahahaha!
    I am such a tv addict! I try to keep my munchkin away from it except for like an hour in the evening. She is actually pretty good at staying away from it too.
    Me, I go nuts without the noise. I am so use to it being on that I have to have it on if it is just for the noise. It is on when I study, read, do housework, pretty much anything. I have a goal to go without tv for 30 days (not necessarily in a row). Not sure if I'll make it LOL
