So today was a very busy and productive day.

Tom installed the Mohu Leaf 50 so now we get 26 local/regional channels. NBC, ABC, CBS, PBS, CW, FOX, and many more. So now I can watch Jeopardy again!!!!! Jeopardy is what I have missed the most about not having network TV, and no watching on You-tube just isn't the same ( Read more... )

Ok, so when I left my house today I was going grocery shopping. I came home with an HD, LCD TV.

Tom and I did some research a few weeks ago on HD, LCD TVs thinking we may get one eventually, also the Consumer Reports with TV information was just sitting there in the doctors office, so we had to read something...right. I wrote down their top ( Read more... )

So my toe is mostly better, as long as I don't walk on it too much and prop it up for awhile afterwards.  At least it gets me out of the parent participation tomorrow ( Read more... )

Yesterday was nice.  I would have posted it then but we did a no electronics day.  No video games, tv or computer.  We decided Sundays would be family day.  I usually make a big breakfast after CCD, and the boys wanted to try what I did as a kid and have a sundae party, we did it on Saturdays but we thought a sundae on Sunday thing might be fun.  ( Read more... )

I don't know what to say.  Elle treated me pretty badly today.  She was rude, accusatory, hateful, ungrateful; all those lovely adjectives that describe teenagers so well.  Then she did something that brought me to tears ( Read more... )

Elle has her first day at Catholic tomorrow; I am worried about her seeing Katie again. Well, it's just registration, but she is so excited.  Hell, I'm nervous and excited for her.

Boys have been happy at school so far.
