From The Onion: my favorite is the “real baby” comment.
Secondhand TV Distracts From Playtime
A new study demonstrates that when a television is on the background, children play about 5 percent less than without, thus impeding development of their attention spans. What do you think?

“Good to know. That will keep my stepson from wrecking all the toys before we have our real baby.”
Ian Weaver,Furnace Installer
“They’re only distracted because the volume is too low. If you turn it up, they can stop moving around and really focus on the TV.”
Christina Frewer,Photographer
“Should children really be playing at such a young age in the first place?”

Day One: Dinner….I’m proud of myself!
So, it is now 7:15 p.m., and I just finished dinner. I’m actually pretty full, and I only had a six point meal! Yea! That means I have four points left. I can probably have a dessert of some kind.
Anyway, I found a recipe on Weight Watchers’ website for pan-seared garlic chicken. So, I made it…despite the fact that the chicken broth I used expired a year ago. Hopefully, I don’t die. Bonus though: I was able to make some space in my pantry since I found four other expired cans of broth….one even from 2006! Yikes! I guess I should cook more, huh?
Anyway, to compliment my chicken, I had one cup of whole grain brown rice from Birds Eye…the steamfresh kind.
I took an Alli, and I drank a glass of water.
T and L weren’t so into the chicken. Oh well. I’m going to try all sorts of new recipes, and surely they’ll like something!
Okay. I have two screaming babies, so I’ll write more later!
Yea for a great day so far!
