stop watching so much tv

No DVR, more space, and warm weather help. I’m not doing all I could be doing but I don’t see this as a problem anymore. I do have it on in the background a lot lately but it’s just sooooo quiet here. I’ll track down some music and this should fix that.

DVR is not helping this goal. With more to do I’m watching considerably less but I miss the the tv free days of old. I realize part of it is the need to sit with the boy when he needs to eat or cuddle quietly. I hate just sitting, so on goes the tv. Though now that he’s getting a lot more alert and a bit more active I’ll probably miss the sitting and doing nothing.

Since I’ve been at my mom’s I’ve watched maybe two shows. There is so much for me to do here and the extra help is great. My husband works so much right now I didn’t realize how much time we spent alone. I hope his next job is better.

Even if I don’t watch during the day, when my husband comes home we watch all night. He’s usually pretty tired and doesn’t want to do anything since he has to get up so early. Living in a one bedroom and as a mom who nurses, this definitely limits my activities. I usually hang out on the couch with the computer. We’ve become such couch potatoes. I hope the move changes this since we’ll have some help with the baby and hopefully he’ll have a better work schedule.

I never used to watch television. Even when I had a tv in my room, I never had time to watch tv. Then I moved and had only two channels and still no desire to watch tv. Then I got married to a husband who loves tv watching. Still not a ton of tv watching. Then I had a baby and quit my job. Now I watch tv all the time. In fact I found a bunch of shows I really enjoyed and would look forward to the days when those shows would come on. I’ve never been that way and it really bothers me that I’ve become such a couch potato. One of the problems though is that we live in a one bedroom apartment and it’s often too cold for us to go out and I breastfeed so I have to frequently take breaks to nurse but I really need to stop making excuses and do something other than tv watching.
