Three full days without an ounce of TV. I am proud of that, however, I have found myself slipping into just a different version of the thins I was trying to get away from. I started the TV-Free because I got angry about the amount of time I was wasting. I have found that I still am getting about 2-3 three hours of "screen time" over the past couple days. Sitting in the living room with my computer still working on school and home work is fine, but I have been playing stupid online "strategy/defense" games for half hour to hour stretches. Tonight I stopped myself when my wife pointed this fact out, she always has been smarter :) Anyways, despite that I have been able to get some things done that I have been procrastinating on like cleaning out the basement and getting the budget done before the end of the month. ( I usually slip a couple days into the month before my budget is set) Small steps!
I was interested to see how the kids would react and our third child has been asking for it, but he has always been the one to want to watch a movie or show more often than the other kids. Other than that, the other three haven't complained much and have filled their time with reading, homework and putzing around with their toys. The true test will come over the next four days as we have a long weekend with no school and weather that will be rainy and windy. Pray for me!
