full house

It's so weird to try to see myself through my kids eyes. They sometimes act like they think I'm ancient...and I feel so young! They seem to continually be amazed by all the things the world had "back when Mom was a kid"! (One time Kate asked me if we traveled in covered wagons when I was little. Good gracious!) But we seem to have found some common ground...in the form of the old TV show "Full House". You remember - The Tanner family - and the unforgettable "Uncle Jesse" - what pre-teen didn't swoon over him? Anyway, Kate got a season of Full House for Christmas and they all seem to love it - a show they ALL agree on? Will wonders never cease! Of course, when I was watching it, it was cool, and now it's funny and 'retro' to them, but that's ok - it gets them all to happily sit together for 20 minutes (there's no commercials on the DVD version of the show), and maybe I can actually get dinner made with no one crying or climbing my legs! I'll take it! Who knows - maybe that 'pouf' hairstyle will actually make a comeback (although I pray not...)
