Death of a Flatscreen

The death of our flatscreen TV in the living room has been a Godsend.  Each night prior to its final days I would reprimand myself for turning it on knowing that it sucks me in for hours.  "Turn it off!" I tell myself over and over only to wake up at 3am to some random late night infomercial which I end up watching and actually considering.

Anyway, Seamus and I have now returned to normal eating habits instead of "TV" dinners while Thomas plays in the "ring of independence" (the activity ring/exersaucer that some people dub the "ring of neglect").  We sat down to a civilized meal of nothing special that mom whipped up at the end of a long workday and we chatted about nothing and everything.  It was then that I got my first unprompted "I love you, mommy."  My heart melted as I beamed from ear to ear.  I, of course, returned the adoration...I love my boys!
