TV makes me feel better. :)
A few nights ago Andy and I stumbled upon the show Clean House and got stuck watching. I have passed by this show before but turned it because the host is so obnoxious! But they were cleaning the second dirtiest house in America and I couldn't change the channel although I really wanted to. It was as if this couple had taken their bed and placed it in the center of a dump, seriously. It was unreal and GROSS! But after watching that I didn't feel nearly as stressed about my own house, especially since I so wisely chose that time to watch tv and not pick up or do dishes. After all I don't have petrified cat poop in my hall closet!
Another show I like to watch to make me feel better is Super Nanny. I'll click over to see how wild other people's kids are so it can put my kids crazy antics into perspective. I usually really appreciate Andy after those episodes as well since the husbands are not always terribly involved and my husband ROCKS! LOL
Surprisingly enough I've actually talked with some friends about her methods before, like how she gets kids to get back into their own beds at night. I've actually heard myself saying, Super Nanny suggests just to walk them back to their room with minimal to no interaction. LOL
And last but not least one of my faves Jon and Kate plus Eight. This show is addicting and watching her makes me feel less critical and less controlling. LOL
Put the daily insanity into perspective. :)
I'm not able to catch all these shows ALL the time but its fun to check in every once in a while.
On another note, since I haven't posted about this yet this season- my show that I absolutely won't miss is So You Think You Can Dance. I've mentioned this to folks before and someone said to me, ugh those dancing shows like Dancing with the Stars. No no no, this is so much better, with real dancers and real choreographers. Granted if you don't like that type of thing then you won't like it. But its my one non negotiable show during the week- meaning Andy has to endure it. So here are my faves if you are a fan too- Katie and Joshua and Kerrington and Twitch.
And there's my little tv two cents. I swear I don't spend each evening on the couch in from of the tv. No really I don't!!!!! LOL

Dude, I'll admit it, I watch TV every night. But I am also painting, folding laundry, snuggling with Joel, cleaning various sticky table tops. Oh yeah, and I'm pregnant and allowed to couch these days. Headaches do haunt me.....

I like "How Clean is Your House" every now & then. She sometimes gives tips on how to get something clean, but the houses on there are so extreme that most of what she does doesn't apply to me. I wish she gave more advice for the "normal" homeowner.

I also love So You Think You Can Dance. I think that Courtney and Gev are my favorite couple this time. There's just something so adorable about Courtney! I'm glad that they didn't get eliminated. I was really kind of glad to see Comfort and Thane go. did you see the Alvin Ailey dancers? WOW!!! They were absolutely amazing! Oh, that I could move like that...
