Bad Habits

Can someone tell me why I have needed a nap every day this week at approximately 1:57 pm? It is my new dirty little secret that I turn on Pinky Dinky Doo at 2 and make Abby sit quietly so that mommy can rest her eyes. The problem is that sometimes my nap bleeds into Wu Wu Wubzy (which, seriously, what the fuck is this show?), and once that starts I know she is not going to willfully turn it off so I might as well just stay asleep, right? The weird thing is that I have been going to bed earlier than usual lately. I know what you may be thinking, but I am just about positive that we are not expecting a new little bundle of joy anytime soon. Is this a bad habit?

A bad habit I know that I have is my incurable addiction to all things MTv reality TV? I need to break up with The Hills, really, I just have to, but I just can't seem to do it. I also have this sick fascination with Celebrity Rap Superstar, which seriously is the WORST most God awful crap shown on television EVER (it is even worse than that Cop Rock show that Steven Bochco (sp) did in the early 90s where the police officers sang and fought crime). I was led to Celebrity Rap Superstar by my boy Perez Hilton. I quite enjoy his website, although I sometimes feel a little dirty being that interested in the lives of the rich and famous, but I somehow manage to reconcile with my conscience. I get it that he is barely literate, and that he is mean and blah blah blah, but he is mildly entertaining, and when I found out he was going to be rapping alongside my girl Kendra and Sebastian Bach (my only crush on a famous person growing up with the exception of the fleeting romance I had with Kevin Bacon after seeing Footloose, oh yeah, and the guy from Girls Just Want To Have Fun starring Sarah Jessica Parker "Jeff Malone? I had given you up for dead" what happened to that guy? What was his name?) I was totally all over this nonsense. It really is terrible, but there was something kind of funny about Jason Wahler rapping, and Shar Jackson trying to have a career beyond being Britney's ex's ex.
This show is so wrong, and the one judge's voice is whiny and obnoxious, but with Tone Loc involved, it just feels so right.

I am procrastinating like no body's business. The crap piled up around my house that needs to be dealt with is killing me softly. I am hoping to get some stuff done this weekend but I am single parenting so who knows. Tim gets the weekend off to gamble and watch football with his buddy, while I parent and winterize our landscaping with the help of the ladies. My friend Marnie thinks that I am crazy for giving Tim such a "long leash" and I am not sure what to think of that. He works late 3 nights a week, 1 to 2 full weekends a month, and he gets free reign of his social agenda, but for the most part, when given the option, he wants to just hang at home. Maybe I should be more vigilant about keeping better tabs on Tim, but really, I kind of don't care. Is allowing my husband to make his own choices (even if I don't agree with him) a bad habit?
