In my effort to spend less in the mall and spend more time at home, Nina and I have agreed on this computer playing schedule eversince she has started to educate herself with my mac and very much acquainted herself with my finger pad (is that what it's called?) just like a graphic designer pro.
Here in front of my laptop, Nina quietly (or noisily) spares me from her "I am bored" statements on repeat mode. Once she surfs for her kiddie online games and cartoon websites....."Aaaahhh, silence" :). Admittedly I'm no different from parents who buy PS2s, PSPs and P-whatevers of this world. (I just chose not to want to afford that). But they are actually "nannies" disguised as interactive gaming tools they actually can babysit any hyperactive child or further inspire laziness from your already lazy partner. LOL> Ooops, tongue acid on the loose.
Back to Jeanina, I let her enjoy computer days, to entertain her first and foremost. But it also buys me that much-need quiet time for myself really. That's not so bad is it? But it's true!
In all of Nina's whole-day stillness, Saturday has gone by pretty uneventful but very well. I cooked a mean Tinola lunch. Dusted some shelves. Munched on anything I can think of. Enjoyed a Six Feet Under ( last season ) Marathon. Made Nina's Test reviewer for her 4th Quarter exam. (Yes it's exam week. YES i let her play computer and yes I am THAT unconventional) Seems to work out for us even. Nina's consistently having great grades without my being such a strict ass on her.
One worry out of the window there.
So....computer days will be here to stay then. Simple weekends like these with some snuggling, hugging and snorting in between make it all worth it.
She's shutting down tomorrow though. It's her playroom time at the mall! :) Weee!
( Note : Movie time for mummy and sister too. Hehe.)
