Watching TV Can Be Hard

I have been trying to watch the same episode of Doctor Who for the last four days.

That might be an exaggeration, but I am pretty sure it is not. But the thing is, like I said before, free time with a three month old comes in about 45 minute spurts. Also, I am very sensitive about my TV watching environment when it comes to Doctor Who (or any other show that I love). If people around me are being too loud or I can feel myself not paying close enough attention or I am thirsty or most likely hungry then the deal is off.

There is also the matter of distractions, because by the time I sit down, turn the TV on, queue up the DVR and rewind back three minutes to remind myself what is happening...it's about time for me to look at Instagram or watch a video of my niece being the cutest thing on the planet or look up who that person in that commercial is on IMDB (Why am I even watching commercials? It's a freaking recorded program!)

There is also the matter of needing to feed my wee little one and burp her and stare at her and make her smile and sing songs to her and most likely change her poopy diaper{Oh gosh...baby poop...we'll get to that another time}.

And before I know it my 45 minutes are up, and I need to move on to the next activity (read: eat).

So the Doctor will have to wait, but I am sure I can just put something on in the background...oh wait I think House Hunters is on.

Words cannot describe how proud of you/excited I am that you're watching Doctor Who! We need to talk about this.
