Unplugged

Last night I did it, I called and cancelled our Directv. Do my kids know any other life than one with 100's of channels to choose from and a plethora of shows recorded on our DVR to be watched over and over again whenever they want. NO. Have they even cared this morning, no not really. After some careful consideration we realized that we could get 2 movies from redbox every night for the entire month and still not come very close to what we were spending on satellite TV. It was also really becoming a crutch to me. "Here sit here and watch a show, while I get something done" I have said that more times than I want to admit. So here we embark on a journey of no satellite television, its not like they wont be able to watch TV cause we will still have all the local channels with our trusty digital tuner. I'm really hopeful that we become a family that spends way less time in front of the tube and more time outside, reading, being creative, and doing other things that don't involve the television. I will let you know how we adapt to this major change for our family.
