Good bye is what we said when he went away. I swear I saw the children (including Richard) shed a little tear. I must admit he was a big part of our lives (even mine) and we thought he would greatly be missed. He comforted us when we were lonely, he entertained us when we were bored, and we found ourselves being lulled to sleep by his entertaining glow. You see he was a major part of our family. We spent a good deal of time with him everyday. Well a week has gone by since we have said good bye and even though there is an empty spot in our home:
Yes that is right I am talking about cable.
There is NOT an empty spot in our heart. Now you walk in our house and you don't find Ashlyn and Clayton vegged out in the playroom in front of the TV or the TV in the living room just running aimlessly. So what do you find...well Ashlyn and Clayton play together A LOT now and even mommy and daddy get in the action. We do still play the Wii together which we didn't before. You see a mommy gazing in her daughters eyes while rocking her instead gazing into her eyes and looking away to see what is happening on TV. You see a husband and wife that spend time talking and playing games after the kids go to bed. Ok so it has not helped me clean more but there is always time for cleaning later :) I will admit that we do have local channels and we do occasionally turn it on for shows like CSI or the kids to watch in the mornings but I would say we have cut our TV time by at least 80%. If the kids to watch something it does not have disrespectful language like so many shows on Disney and Nick have on them but they watch PBS. It has been GREAT!! Cable we do not miss you AT ALL and YOU ARE NOT WELCOMED BACK ANY TIME SOON!!
