Playhouse Disney = Lifesaver

Thank you Dear JoJo for babysitting my child this morning so I could sneak a shower in and get the minimal required amounts of moisturizer and make-up on my face. I never thought I'd be the parent to rely on the boob-tube to mesmerize my child to sit in utter stillness and concentration for a solid 23 minutes or so, but I have rapidly come to accept that when used in moderation, it is a beautiful, beautiful thing. I really can't complain that the girl was up and lying in bed next to me at 6:00a.m. poking my nose and gleefully saying "pimple, pimple, pimple..." (thanks Cesar!) - I usually have to wake her up by 7:30 to get ready for daycare - but I was counting on snoozing until at least 6:30 so that I can be up and alert for devouring another chunk of Harry Potter tonight! Though, I'm getting pretty good at the whole reading while walking thing so that I don't lose a spare minute....Yep, I'll say it for you: "GEEK!"
