The last 20 minutes.




I like to watch tv.

There.  I said it.

I know it's not politically correct and/or cool to actually ADMIT to that, but I do.  Currently, R and I have, between us, around a dozen or so shows that one, the other, or both of us like to watch.   Is that too much tv?  Maybe.  Maybe not.  Before we had kids we used to go to the movies ALL THE TIME, but paying $40 for the sitter on top of the price of movie tickets and popcorn has curtailed that for the foreseeable future.

So for now, tv it is.

We enjoy watching tv after the kids are in bed at night, and we do even occasionally interact with each other about it.  "Hey did you see that?!?!?!" I might yell ask R, even though of course he did.

But I have a problem.

Due to my early-bird nature, I'm usually pretty tired by the time we start watching tv, so inevitably I fall asleep before the show is over.

Every time.

So I never, never, never get to see the last 20 minutes of anything.

Since we DVR everything and watch it later, this isn't a huge deal.  Except... the next night, since R DID finish the show, we start something new.

And I fall asleep before it's over.

And the next night - same thing.

And the next night - same thing.

I don't watch tv during the day when I'm home with the kids, so the last 20 minutes of shows that I have yet to see just sit there, unwatched.  At the moment, I have AT LEAST 10 shows that I need to finish, including the season finales of Arrow, CSI, Criminal Minds and Grimm.  I also have THREE episodes of Hannibal and at least a couple of Vegas, which I heard has been cancelled and I am SO SO sad about.

Is it wrong of me to want to send the kids to the sitter for a day just so I can catch up on my tv shows?

Yeah, probably so.

But I might do it anyway.

  2. It's OK to send the kids to the sitter for one night! They'll probably be more excited about it than you. Kids love change in their routines!
