....can I watch tv?"

This is what I am hearing a lot these days.

Brick has been the MOST noticably affected by the NO TV stance this month. Now that I think about it, he probably watches the most tv of any of us. During the school year when all his siblings/playmates are at school, the tv is an easy fix (for me) to keep him distracted while I shower, clean, breathe etc. Fortunately I have a STRONG resolve and we're 12 days into this goal, almost half way. The other kids haven't even asked. This means that either they are having SUCH a fun summer they've forgotten about the boob tube, or they know that I am SO mean and SO strong and SO tough and SO scary that there is no way I am gonna give in. (yeah right, they're not one little bit scared of me, but I like to pretend) Either way we win!
