Random Tuesday Thoughts: Television Personalities

For quite some time now I’ve been struggling with my feelings about a certain handyman in our life….Handy Manny, to be exact.

My kids love this show…they watch it almost daily (yeah, that’s right…daily). It is a good show, well written, teaches values, blah blah blah.

All I can think of when I watch this show…is that those tools are really creepy…and wouldn’t it be funny if they were distinct splits in this crazy man’s personality? Like..maybe this weirdo guy walks all around SheetRock Hills pretending to fix stuff…and everyone is really nice to him and talks to his “Tools” … its really him breaking stuff instead of his clumsy tools and everyone is just afraid to set him off.

I’m really kind of obsessed with this notion. I can’t watch the show without thinking of the alternate universe possibility.

I also spend some time watching soap operas that I DVR… and I’m extremely irritated as of late with the “moms” on the show who go stroller walking together…and as they walk off down the street in their fancy clothes they have these high heels on… as if.

My husband says I get way to wrapped up in television..he says “THIS is what you think of when you watch this?” Yeah, it really is.

It occurs to me that with the impending arrival of our third baby…there is another stark reality… I’m pretty sure this time no one is coming. Like…I was thinking today how when I was pregnant with Lilli and Brendan was 18mo crying my eyes out because I was overwhelmed (really? with one kid?)…and my mom coming up to help me out for the day. I’m very aware that this time around there is no one coming to my rescue. My sister is pregnant with her first…and my SIL is pregnant with their second…I’m having to admit to myself that third is nothin’ but old hat. *sigh*

Amazingly enough, I have no peni update this week. He has managed to “keep it in his pants” so to speak…now dad…that’s another story….I’ll keep it to myself.

For some truly fabulous Random Tuesday Thoughts…head on over and visit SuperKeely at The UnMom. She is cool.
