tv

i grew up with jsut a few channels that barely came in. back in them there days out on tassajara.
When i was pregnant i thought how wonderful it would be to raise kids with no tv.
this, obviously , did not happen.
however, the big box in our big room gets turned on far too much, and its making me sick. so, i unplugged it, and have pretended its dead.
its day two. its been weird. and shocking really to notice how much TV my kids used to watch.
and even cooler to see all the things they end up doing instead, in just two short days.
I intend to have special "movie nights" with popcorn and sparkling apple cider at least once a week. i think it will be so awesome.
