TV is the Devil! And cars, and money....What's opposite of the Devil you ask? Michael Jackson's song, "Beat It".


We have realized that my three year old son has turned into a ZOMBIE. And what's the cure for a Zombified child?? Take away their life source, the TV. It's really sad when you have a great yard to have all sorts of adventures in, and you have to throw your child outside and lock the door before he starts clawing his way back into the house chanting (in a "zombie" voice) "TV, TV, I want TV." So we took the TV out of his room, and are allowing 1 hour of TV per night. Last night we treated him to a movie of Transformers since he did such a good job during the day and kept busy with outside play. He had a blast with the sprinkler, we turned on the music and danced around, and he's starting to get back into coloring and playing with puzzles. Hopefully we will have a cured child by the end of the week!

You know what else is the DEVIL?? CARS! Especially Ford UN-Focus'. We are still battling with that stupid car! He spent all night Friday night just trying to find out where the heck the starter is located, and all day yesterday to take it out and put the new one back in. After all that work that him and his mechanic friend did, the car STILL WONT START! Grrrr!!! So we are going to pay his friend to find out what the problem is. THANK YOU, Honey, Baby, Sweetie, and any other pet name you can thing of, for spending all your time trying to fix the car. I GREATLY appreciate it!

Right now, the car has a brand new battery, new (but old) starter, and when turning the key the lights come on, radio and horn work, and it makes a "clicking" noise. For any of you who want to give some input on what might be causing my car to give us such hell, all suggestions are welcome! Just comment below!

And last but not least, MONEY. Damn you money! Why can't there be enough of you???

As for things that are not the devil? Michael Jackson's song, Beat It. While my son and I were having a dance fest, Ashley was in her jumper watching us dance and sing along. Beat It came on and every single time I would say "Beat It" she would crack up hysterically. Who would have ever thought that Michael Jackson would be the second thing that caused my daughter to laugh hysterically. It's so cute when she does it, and at this point laughter is sparse with her...so we will take whatever we can get. I can't wait until she gets a little older and we can hear that cute little laugh all the time!
