All My Children

I realized I'm glad I don't like soaps because at some point I plan on being home with a child. Seems I may get housework done though with a Tivo it's probably moot.

When they were babies, if the timing were right, I would sit and watch the soap. But, mostly, I do chores while watching. I can hear the t.v. from the kitchen, etc. With Soapnet, I don't have to tape it I just have to watch it when I can. If I can't, that is what the internet sites are for.

Something my sis and I did when the kids were under one; we did get annoyed with our addiction to the soaps. We would load the kids up in their strollers and take them for walks. And, there have been long episodes where I haven't watched.

But I still do.

Oh CP! Don't think if you watch a soap & have kids you are able at all to sit and enjoy it!!! Man, I am lucky they have previews for the next days show because to me it summarizes the show. So, if that last 5 minutes is all I get, I still know something. And, I always listened to the kids over any show/phone call/visitor. So, there are {yike!} thousands of shows I probably just had bits and pieces of.

You know, like background music? You pick up on things that are of interest.
