Nostalgia

Today is one of the rare days that the kids are both in school and I’m not working. I haven’t loaded my day up with a ridiculous amount of errands to run and I’ve given myself a day off from exercise. So I am having a sofa day (mind you that still involves hoovering, laundry, cooking and general other things to do around the house). I switched the tv on and caught some Frasier. And then Golden Girls. And I’m watching the Babysitters Club on Netflix. All of these things are my childhood. Just hearing the names Mary Ann, Dawn, Kristy, Stacey and Claudia just take me back to my childhood when I would hole up in my room reading. I really want to get Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys for my kids to enjoy. Remember Sweet Valley High? Watching Frasier and the Golden Girls as an adult is great though because now I actually understand the humour. As a child/teenager I’m sure most of the jokes were lost on me. The other day my kids were watching Shera. I nearly had a heart attack. I mean talk about a child hood classic. I can’t wait to watch He Man with them. And what about Jem. A few weeks ago we watched the original Karate Kid. It was a trip. It made me cringe but the kids loved it. I wonder what else we will rediscover this summer?
