I spent an hour cleaning up the living room that MJ destroys on a daily basis. She isn't very good at putting her own toys away, so it goes to me to do it. And I don't do it every day. Mostly I'm just so worn out by the time I put her to bed that I don't want to clean. But when I try to clean while she is still up, half of what I clean is back out on the floor because she thinks I've cleared a space for more play. It hasn't clicked in her head yet the need to put things away. It will soon though.
I also put her laundry away and made Popsicles and replanted my new aloe. Someone accidentally killed it while I was out of town for a week. Oops. And earlier today I cooked lunched and watched a movie. So yeah, it has been just a regular day. But in another month, football season starts!! I'll have something else to watch besides ice age on repeat. And we cycle thru all 4 of them weekly. Sometimes watching two of them in one day. Oh how I wish I could cut down on how much tv MJ watches, but the biggest problem is her daddy. The minute she gets him up in the morning that tv is turned on. Because he claims he too tired to do anything but sit there. I have caught him sleeping on the couch while she is up too, even thou he denies it.
So by the time I get up, she has already watched 2-3 hours of tv. Where does that leave me when my hands hurt so much I can't do nothing but sit on the couch? So it ends up being more tv time. I can't stand it, but I don't know how to end it. I do try to have the radio on instead after the husband leaves for work. I try to get MJ to color or play with Lego's, but some days I just turn that tv on and we watch it all day.
I need to try harder.
