Our small town local Cable Company and the Main Network Channels (ABC, CBS & NBC) are in a huge fight to get their own way! You see, the Cable Company wants the right to move the main stations where ever they want to in the line up.... That includes, moving the stations to another channel (which we have committed to memory for the last 19 years since we've lived here); and to play around with their shows, moving them where they want to on the schedules! Now, is that RIGHT? NO, I SAY!
So, as of tonight, they have not come to an agreement, and at midnight on April 1st (April Fools day - good one!) at midnight, we loose all 3 network stations. AAGGGHHH....... My soaps are on those channels! My favorite sit-coms are on those channels!!
I suppose I'll have to rely on the computer for my shows, to see if they will run their show on the Internet for us. Man, I would be ok if was an April Fools joke, really! I'll keep my fingers crossed!!

Today I got to go see Lil Gal at gymnastics. I hadn't gone in a while, and really missed it. She has really learned a lot, and has improved so much!! She is soooo cute hopping and twirling on those bars! Riding in the truck to pick up the children from school to gymnastics, then to the grocery store, then home, reminded me of how energetic they are, with such strong lungs! And, of course, how much fun we had in the truck traveling to each destination. Even tho they may have needed to be given a talk to for something, I had to stifle a laugh cuz they were just so cute! But, I couldn't let them see me laugh and undo mom's perfect discipline record. :) It reminded me of my children when they were little. Has it really been that long? Yes it has. Sigh.

My honey hogged the computer tonight. He got off at 10:30 p.m., so now here I am on at 11:45 p.m. Fooey! And, I have to get up early tomorrow! Remember, we have only one vehicle, and If I want it for the day, I have to get up at dark thirty (just like him), to take him to work. Actually, he drives himself to work, and I just try and go back to sleep with my pillow and blanky. Oh, that sounds so childish! Ok, with my pillow and my blanket. Well, it's only a throw blanket, so that's ok, right? It's usually chilly in the mornings.
The problem is (or maybe it's a blessing, cuz it keeps me awake); is that DH just loves to listen to talk show radio, you know a host who takes callers and gives their opinion (at dark thirty in the A.M.) that no one cares about? So, that keeps me awake, cuz they get excited and yell at each other. Now, if it was music, I could probably fall back asleep. But, since it keeps me awake, I am able to drive home, still at dark thirty, on those dark country roads, and you can't see any cops (if I need to keep an eye out for them); cuz, all I wanna do is get back home and catch a nap before daylight and I have to get started. So, I better get off the computer earlier than usual!

Alright, who just LOVES The Bellamy Brothers???!!! They are playing in the background on Pandora, as I blog. Song they're singing is 'Dancing Cowboys'....... "Dancing cowboys, dancing horses, gypsy music, songs about love" such a GREAT DANCING SONG! And, definitely just to sing along with, if there's no dancing space! Woo Hoo.... I just love them!!
OK, now, those who don't like country music are not allowed to be mean or make fun of the lyrics! (Dang, I hope I heard the lyrics right! - Usually, I'm just dancing to them - ok, I DO sing along with them while dancing, BUT, y'all remember what I did with the "Reaper/Reefer" song, right?
Alright, lights out. Hope y'all had a great night. TTYL
Dancing Cowboys, dancing horses (might be prancing? lol), gypsy music, songs about love....

I would have no problem getting rid of our networks -- I so seldom watch anything but the cable channels. ..
And I *so* with you on the talk radio in the a.m. -- I would be a banchee! I cannot stand to hear people argue -- just stresses me to no end. I often drive without even the radio on, just the quiet (especially after showing houses and having to yack for 3 hours)
OK< hopefully I will get to bed tonight -- didn't fall asleep till 5:30 a.m. last night. Argh.
Hope your day goes well. :-)
BTW, are these word verifications just thinly veiled sobriety checkpoints for blogs? :-)
I would have no problem getting rid of our TV if I could watch the Nascar races, pro bull riding and BIG LOVE on the micro wave..
Just wanted to stop by while I had a second and say howdy... hanging in here..hanging out here...

the queen.
Kinda worried that my secret word here is distess..I've never dissed tess in my entire life.. I love tess...who the hell is tess?
PRO: Yea! Someone who understands what talk radio can do to a person's sanity! (psst, I won't tell DH or FW - she loves those shows!)
Oh, I hope you can get some sleep. I saw you on, but I was already wine groggy, so I went to bed.
Hey Queen: Glad to hear from you. You and PRO both are having issues with the secret words! Too funny.
I don't know who Tess either! :)
Hmmm.... I wonder if I need a secret word? Hope you have a good day. HUGS

My husband refuses to buy cable so everything we watch is through our antennae. We get all the major channels except FOX and you know what?.. it's enough. I still can't seem to find enough time to do my reading, much less my blogging.
