Ok. We are late to the party. Life is busy and we really don't watch much TV. Some HGTV or a Blackhawks hockey game. 

 "Oh, did you watch This Is Us last night?" My friend questioned.

 "You don't watch This Is Us? Oh, you need to!" My neighbor said.

 "I can't believe you don't watch it. You really should." My colleague suggested.

 So many conversations about this show. Even Loralee mentioned it in a slice this week.

 This prompted me to ask my husband last night, after the girls were in bed, if he wanted to watch it.

 He was game. We started with one episode. We were hooked. What an ending! We had to watch another episode. 

 We have never binge watched TV before. Jon even stayed awake past his usual nap time at 8 o'clock. 

 After two episodes, it was late. I was getting sleepy. But we made it through another episode. Three episodes.

 Thank you all for the suggestion to start watching. Here we are again tonight watching episode number four. 

 {Update after finishing episode four. My husband quickly says: "Please tell me one more. This show is just too good." We just started episode five ... }

 We'll get caught up soon enough to chat more about ... This Is Us.

    I haven't watched a full episode yet, but I have a feeling that if I give myself the time, I'll be hooked.

    Three teachers told me I HAD to watch "This Is Us." It wasn't until the activity bus driver told me that I thought... okay. It's time. My hubby and I finally caught up last night. We love how it emphasizes that EVERYBODY has a STORY. Enjoy the ride!

{#sol15} March Madness 1/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! My Dearest Love, The time has come.  It came upon us quickly this year.  Let me just be honest.  You know that my priorities will shift.  Yes, of course, I'll continue with my wife and mommy duties.  I will do my very best to be fully present.  I will try doing more without rushing because I'm thinking about it...   Yet, please know, there are only so many hours in a day.  Yes, my other loves will be pushed aside.   Pinterest and Twitter will have minimal activity and my time for reading will be limited.  Except, of course, bedtime reading with the girls.  Plus, I'll also be reading something even better... Early mornings, late in the evenings after the girls are in bed, and any time I have in between will be
