Call me crazy...

...but I cancelled cable last week. It was a decision that I had been stewing over for a good month before I actually called the cable company and told them I'd like to cancel. There are many good reasons why I cancelled it.

  1. Raising a child isn't cheap people. Forking over $100 a week for someone to watch your child can really put a kink in one's household budget.

  2. This website. What we can't watch on TV, most of them we can watch here. And did you know that there are a lot of old shows you can watch online? Like She-Ra: Princess of Power. Yes, I watched it as a child and I enjoyed it. Don't judge.

  3. Our TV shows have wrapped up for the season and there really isn't much on TV during the summer except for reality shows. I love me some reality shows but I can always watch them online (see #2).

  4. The cleanliness of my house has been put on the back burner. Not just my weekly cleaning but there is a lot of spring cleaning that I need to get done. You know like washing windows and cleaning ceiling fans and dusting baseboards. So I'm a little anal with my cleaning. One of the best feelings for me is enjoying a clean house.

  5. I have so much junk that I don't use that I would like to get rid of. You know, like that spiral curling iron you have had since junior high or your size 8 shorts that you bought after losing all of that weight on Weight Watchers. Face it Megan. It's been 8 years since you could fit in those shorts. You had a baby. Your figure will never be the same. GET RID OF THEM!!
  6. This little girl. She grows up so fast. I need to cherish the time I have with her now. Because once she is a teenager and wants nothing to do with me, I will have all the time in the world to be a couch potato.
Which by the way is throwing a fit in her Exersaucer next to me so I better wrap this up and tend to her.
