Good Bye Cable

Yesterday Marked the calendar as I REFUSE TO PAY FOR TV day.  

After grounding my son for 2 weeks from all Screens- week one was painful for sure, but although painful some insights were discovered.

My son was missing me.  I don't think he even realized it until he had no screen options.  

Things we did instead of watching TV, playing Wii, XBox, DSi

1) went for walks nightly

2) played Zingo

3) played Crazy Eights

4) played operation

5) talked go figure!

6) rode our bikes to Subway

7) painted our deck

8) planted flowers

9) talked some more

10) installed a fence (see photo)

At the end of the 4 days my son actually said- "Mom, I don't think we even need the T.V." 

What a shocker!!  

So, I called up the cable company and discontinued the cable which will save us $150 a month.  Remember 15 years ago when TV was FREE? Well guess what, with the right antenna, it still is.

I will let you know how that works.  For now, I feel like I've been freed from the bondage of CABLE TV!!!
