HD but no TV

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

You know what’s missing from my new home?  Broadcast television.  We’ve nixed the cable TV in a cost saving measure but TV that was free when I left this town is inaccessible since I’ve come back.  All due to the wonderful HD revolution.

We never got one of those fancy antenna that lets you see programs on an old TV set and we’ve long since gotten rid of the antenna we used with it before because we had cable and didn’t need it.  Turns out that even our new HD TV won’t pick up channels without an old fashioned antenna.  You’d think the antenna in the TV would be enough but no.  So what I could use now is a compendium of antenna reviews.  The new season is about to start and I’m going to have to save up for the buy so the sooner the better.

School Again

Tuesday, August 10th, 2010

My kids started school yesterday and we made it through without any tears.  Which just means I’m a bad mother because I didn’t cry like I have every year before this one.  It’s never been them crying on the first day – it’s always me.

On the bright side, I am pretty depressed about it.   I guess that means there’s still hope for me.
