Getting Easier

I am still a little bit tempted to turn on the TV during the day, but I haven’t been doing it. Soon I hopefully won’t even consider it.

Our cable was out for 3 days. Hubby hated it, I didn’t mind. The TV stayed off for the entire time and it was sheer bliss! Only once in the past 2 weeks have I turned the TV on during the daytime. It is so much better to have the quiet.
Conversation Last Night

Hubby agreed that TV usage is an issue worth dealing with. Yay! We’ve agreed to try en experiment where we become intentional about what we watch. We are going to look ahead at the schedule for the week and commit to what we want to watch. At least this should eliminate the amount of time the TV is on during the evening. Last night we turned it on at 8:30 so we could watch “How I Met Your Mother”. We turned it off at 9:00. That’s progress.
It meant a lot to me that Hubby was willing to acknowledge that TV is a barrier in our relationship. For the first time it wasn’t a conversation about whether to have a TV or not. Instead we worked to find a solution.

this means not turning the TV on during the day. Now that I am at home full-time, I find it difficult late afternoon when the laundry is done and I sit down for a break.
