K took the van today which means even IF I had wanted to go somewhere I can't. I don't like when that happens, but she said she needed it. What we really need is another car seat for my car. Why on earth haven't we purchased 2 seats by now?? Maybe we are insane.
Does anybody out there like the Shrek movies? Anyone? Would you like them if you watched them 40 times a day? Well that is what is going on around this house right now. E likes Shrek so much that when she is awake and not eating she HAS to watch Shrek. It was cute at first, as I was a bit sick of Elmo, Backyard.igans, Little.Eintstiens, Handy Manny, Open Season, and the Doodl.ebops, but damn do we watch Shrek a lot. At least now we are watching the DVD's instead of the TV show we taped the other night. Shrek.the.Halls was funny and I enjoyed it as much as E, but having to fast forward through the commercials is a lot of work. To much paying attention required!!
Last night was the last night of bowling until the 7th of January and this is a good thing. My team has been a bunch of grumps to bowl with lately, and it is getting a bit old. We are currently in 3rd place, but only a couple of games out of 2nd, which I think is pretty good for us. But they come every week and are all grumpy if we only take 5 points on the night. The max we can win is 7 so we do pretty well. To be honest I am hoping that S will ask me to be on his men's league team next year full time so that I don't have to bowl mixed league anymore. The people are nice, but damn if you are not good to begin with, then you should not be upset when you suck during league play!! And really if you are going to suck (which is fine) then we should be there just to have fun, and not constantly giving me shit because I am only bowling my average every game when you continue to suck and bowl 20 pins under yours.
I really do like my teamates, but DAMN why do they have to be so pissy every week?
I think I have ranted enough now and should probably play with E instead of letting Uncle Shrek entertain her more than he does already.

No matter how much moaning and complaining our girls do, we only allow them to watch a movie once a day, and if we get sick of a movie, it drops out of the rotation for a while. Tough love ;-)
ReplyDeleteBuy her a shrek BOOK!!! Her future teachers will thank you!
ReplyDeletePorgie is obsessed with television right now too. Maybe its a phase or something. She is always bringing me the remote, so I can turn the channel to something she likes.
ReplyDeleteHey Greg...
ReplyDeleteWe have the exact opposite problem. We have FIVE (5) - yes F-I-V-E car seats around the house... There are always two in the van, I always keep one in my car (just in case) - and frequently store one in the trunk (again... Just in case). Then there is one in the garage.
At our peak, we had three in car seats. One is truthfully nothing more than a booster seat. The others are car seats/booster seats.
This does not include car seats that we have (over the years) gotten rid of, due to age or recall... I can count AT LEAST three more.
I think the Mother of Five has a car seat fetish... but I can't be sure... It certainly is an addiction. She would hide the boxes from me, and save up cash so that they would not appear on our debit card statement... (Sounds like something an addict would do)... But she still has yet to take the first step and "admit she has a problem".
Now, in her defense - we do also watch the two neighbor girls (ages 2 and 4) - and having those seats around have saved me a couple of times when I had to take all the kids to pick one up from school or drop one off at dance class.....
So... Who is the smart one?? I guess I'll vote for my wife, the car seat addict!
-----------------------------
P.S. Kids get drawn into pretty much ANY cartoon... So, who needs to be a responsible parent? When the time comes you get sick of Shrek, just tune into The Simpsons, The Family Guy, King of the Hill, or South Park... (Sarcastic snickering)

Christy, Christy Christy... Is Porgie your first?? Yeah... Um... the obsession with the Television phase pretty much NEVER goes away!!
To prove my point, Take a look at this three part series of links... and the comments in the first one.... (giggle...)
Link one
Link two
Link three
But, in all seriousness, I think it is the kid. I have three that are obsessed, and two that are - ho-hum about the TV... They each have been that way as far back as I can remember..
Best of luck to you all!
