I had to laugh at myself today! I took the morning off, so I could go to the church for tonight's meeting and put in a full afternoon. So there I was, sitting there having some lunch, flipping through the channels on TV, when all of a sudden, I stop. My attention is immediately drawn to the screen. Why? Because all of a sudden I realize that my son's favorite show has in some small way become my favorite show too. I watched a full half-hour of Thomas the Tank Engine without my son being there. Yes, I watched it all by myself, and I am not ashamed to admit it. I actually enjoyed it. Scary huh? The 15 year old Jason would mock the 32 year old Jason had he known that one day, I would be so uncool as to sit and watch a children's show over MTV. But the 32 year old would defiantly utter, "Yeah, but MTV sucks!" Ahh, to be a parent whose child knows the term, "headbang!" God, I love it! More later...

That actually made me laugh out loud! I find myself singing "They're one, They're two, They're three, They're four...." (You can finish it....)The Guyser just recently discovered "Thomas" and loves it...doesn't like Diesel however...
oh yeah, remember when MTV actually played videos? Those were the days....
Yeah, one time, my husband and I were staying at a motel (sans little boy) and we actually watched The Wiggles in the morning. Sick...
Welcome to my everyday world!!! I must admit I have found myself interacting with the "Upside/Down" show myself.......does this mean we are trying to recapture our youth or that there are times when we just need to escape the "adult world" and go back to having fun!!
