I've been watching a lot of television lately.  Just when I have come to the conclusion that everything "reality" on tv sucks, I find a program that is just absolutely amazing.  On TLC, there is a new show called "My Life as a Kid".  There are only six episodes, and two have aired so far.  Both have been amazing.  The TLC people gave 20 kids, ages from seven to 12, a video camera for four months to film...whatever they wanted.  It is their life.  Now, I'm sure that parents might have received some instructions on certain things they wanted the kids to talk about during the four months.  And I'm sure that there is an agenda for the show, seeing as only three or four kids are shown for an hour episode, and each episode is titled, and it all talks about a certain topic.  But the amazing thing about the show is the realness from the kids.  Their honest answers.  There are no hidden agendas from the kids.  They tell their stories and their lives.  There's no "I'm going to be a drama queen and become famous and get a spinoff show from this" mindset from the kids.  If you have a chance, you should check it out.  TLC, Monday's at 6 pm central.

I went to the movies the other day.  I got back to my car, and the temperature gage read 91 degrees.  Welcome to spring in Texas.
