Too Much TV

That is what we have been watching lately. It doesn't help that we've been battling a stomach bug, but I'd say the biggest culprit for our frequent TV viewing is DirecTV. We have lived without cable for 6 years and have managed just fine. I always felt like the educational shows on PBS were good enough for my children, and I had too much to do to be spending time watching television anyway. Besides, cable is expensive... until we moved. Then we got a deal too good to pass up. So now we have satellite TV. This means the kids have Noggin, and I have HGTV. And we watch entirely too much of it. But these are educational channels so it's okay, right?
