I ...I really needed to read that today especially. I am feeling like an out of control mama since we got back from vacation. I loved reading that we are adults and in control. It is time for me to take back the control around here and get back to our summer routine - which includes very limited TV time and that has not been happening.<br /><br />The rest of your summer stresses me out just thinking about it. Remember to breathe and call me when you forget!

Sometimes there are hard decisions to make that perhaps won't make the most sense to your children but if it's right in your heart that's all that matters! We've cut out a lot this summer so I could be home with our kids and managed just fine! Spending TIME is the most important!!Jerri-Leahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07015208647011720584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-74659191542591287602010-07-25T21:17:28.123-05:002010-07-25T21:17:28.123-05:00We cut our cable about a year ago, too, best decis...We cut our cable about a year ago, too, best decision I ever made. I agree with you totally, and not just about the cable, it's liberating to eliminate unnecessary things from your life!Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16729435682452484573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-26262807202003336142010-07-24T21:59:05.247-05:002010-07-24T21:59:05.247-05:00We turn off our cable every summer and we love it....We turn off our cable every summer and we love it. We have to turn it back on in the fall for BYU football, of course. We do a lot more reading and going to bed on time when we don't have cable.Alison Woodshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17248724295562606517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-39593096806362141682010-07-24T16:28:51.175-05:002010-07-24T16:28:51.175-05:00AMEN!!!AMEN!!!Kim Creasynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-91595427094965205532010-07-24T10:34:28.377-05:002010-07-24T10:34:28.377-05:00oh no, some of those comments sounded like me when...oh no, some of those comments sounded like me when you were at home!

Now I get antsy if we are at someone's house and they want to watch TV. It just seems like such a waste of time. And my living room looks great without that big ole thing in there!<br /><br />When we canceled ours the man kept asking what we would do at night and would not take any of our answers! They are crazy!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00994937261069028024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-38540892572508763182010-07-23T22:40:47.595-05:002010-07-23T22:40:47.595-05:00Mitch and I weren't wanting an apartment with ...Mitch and I weren't wanting an apartment with cable when we first started looking into married housing. However, the internet IS a necessity here, and most complexes that have internet also have cable...they save by bundling, etc. So, now we have cable. We're enjoying it while it's included in our rent, but it'll be hard to ever pay for it separately! <br /><br />So...have you figured out your "government black box" for the antenna yet? My parents haven't had much luck with theirs...hope yours works better! They still can't believe tv isn't free anymore!The Dooley Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06005952481749271276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-49297726714813998622010-07-23T21:49:15.468-05:002010-07-23T21:49:15.468-05:00My husband and I keep talking about getting rid of...My husband and I keep talking about getting rid of cable. That's all the further we've gotten though. <br /><br />Glad you didn't let the guy talk you into keeping it. I didn't know adults use the "everyone else is doing it" reason to justify things. He may need to work on his sales/retention tactics!<br /><br />Have a good weekend :o)Nicholehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07301033867239738891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-71863099848552217072010-07-23T21:23:33.714-05:002010-07-23T21:23:33.714-05:00we keep talking about getting rid of our cable...m...we keep talking about getting rid of our cable...maybe I'll let Jim read this blog entry :)I almost think I can do it, but I don't know if he can with football coming up LOLAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06975894787769079090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4750081147518887207.post-92213008160385666312010-07-23T18:45:11.957-05:002010-07-23T18:45:11.957-05:00We have never had cable.
