So this morning we are really toying with the idea of getting rid of cable. Michael has just started working with Direct TV and in 90 days we can get their package for 25 dollars (used to be free but they changed their policy). But the thing is that I'm not even sure I want to get it when it becomes available! I know that I can survive just fine without cable TV. I'm such a huge reader anyway that I spend very little time watching it. I would much rather have a book. I know the babies would be just fine without it because it is nothing more than something that catches their attention every now and then. Kimmie is the only one that I worry about. She has grown up with it and seems to think that she just HAS to have it. We brought up the idea of getting rid of it to her this morning and I thought she was going to lose her mind. She was really, really upset by the idea. The thing is that not having cable would save us a lot of money, would stop exposing the children to things that they really don't need to see, would force us to do other more creative pursuits with each other. I don't know. If anyone reading this had any ideas or opinions, I would love to hear them.
