Slacking Off

ever since moving out of mom's house, we've only had basic cable. at first, it was really hard to adjust because i loved watching TLC, HGTV, and the food network. but as like everything else, i got used to it and really cut down on my tv viewing. i was also able to limit the amount of tv the kids watch, too. but then, two weeks ago, for some reason, our cable channels were expanded, and once again, i have access to my favorite channels day and night. so i've been bascially glued to the tv and slacking off in pretty much all the other aspects of my life.

what has the rest of the family been doing during my hibernation? well, the kids have been putting their imagination to work. they pretended that they were explorers and the entire house was the wilderness. there was a canoe, alligator, and some bobcats. i joined in the adventure out of guilt for awhile but decided to man the campsite (in front of the tv) while they went off to forage for food. in ten minutes, the weather changed from summer to winter and the kids donned their winter clothes. (good thing, the weather this weekend was cold.)

don't they just look so cute dressed like that?

and the poor husband was working hard to repair the ceiling that was ruined from the water leak.

see the hideous wall paper and the ugly light fixture? i am glad to say that it will be gone soon. this is actually the first project in this house after nearly a year of living here. now that i've been watching HGTV non-stop, i have some updated ideas of what i want in the house. i even suggested to B that we should tackle the remodeling of our masterbath by ourselves. i must have been out of my mind when i said that. can't imagine what a mess things will be if we really do that!
