No TV for a week

The house is a mess
A bomb must have exploded
For all through the home
The children were on notice
Clean it up or off it goes
But the rooms stayed the same
And I yelled enough, my throat was sore
So now the TV is silent, the computer is snoozing
and the rooms are getting cleaned at last.
Seven days may not be enough
But I'm the Mom, I make the rules

TV is not making the rules around here and neither are the children. Thank you Peter Walsh

Great idea! We turned ours off for a year when our children were at home and what a difference it made. I loved that time with them. You may just decide to leave it of longer.

I'm glad your not my mom! What would I do without Chuck?

I remember when I was little how weird it was that my friend Mary (President Eyring's daughter) didn't have a TV in her house. I wondered what she did all day.

I love it! Although I don't have any children you better believe that I would do the same thing. Esp. since I am a neat freak!
