Momalog and Her TV

They were strangers the first time I “met” them. Today I find my adventures enriched, inspired and filled with laughter because of them…  

It started with Amy and Her #Sixthings.  

Then it was Kir and Her Cupcakes

 Minky {Moo}’s had her turn.

Today it is The Momalog’s turn!

I’ve been talking to strangers and what do you know I’ve made some friends!   

…..
 

I “met” Momalog on Twitter aka @adothemomalog. Between our mommy duties we would chat tweet about life and things going on.  Then it happened…I started following her blog.  Well…That was it!


I have been brought to the floor by laughter and side-aches.  I’ve been moved to tears by her strength and resilience.  I have been awed by her intelligence and graceful words.  She is passionate, well spoken, deep thinking and she is a force.

I read “Mommy’s Rant” (hold on to your chair with that one…It had me in stitches) and “Why We Killed Our Television”.   

I remember thinking, “You know she’s got a point!  But, I love my TV shows.”  

Months passed and Christmas approached this year.  

Words began to come out of my daughters mouths. 

Words I had heard before.  

Words like the ones Ella had uttered:  “I know how you can get that stain out of the carpet – you need to buy some Oxyclean!” and “Can we go to 1-800-Beaches?”

It happened again.  

This is not good!  


Since her first post Ado’s voice has gotten stronger.  Her stories have kept their passion, while her writing has become even more polished.  So, while I can not say I am ready to kill our TV too, she has inspired me!  Once a month I am going to pick a day (maybe more then one…stranger things have happened).*  I am going to put our TV in a “COMA”…still alive and reviveable but not dead or killed.  This will be my small step in cutting back our TV watching.  





*Like any good blogger I will be sharing our “TV COMA” experiences right here…once a month

  1. I also read about Ado killing her tv and thought that I could never do that. A “coma”, though? I think I could handle that!
