I thought it was awful, too, but my husband watched it.<br /><br /><b>Cynthia</b>- We have different standards, too, and I have tried to tell him for years that the level he wants is not going to happen until the kids get older. My husband is most likely to clean when I am already doing it, if I am sitting on the computer, I have no chance for help.<br /><br /><b>Jamie</b>- Sometimes we won't let them (because that is just painful!) but other times it isn't worth the fight. I love when they don't even eat what they ordered.

They wouldn't have known what a restaurant looked like inside. We rarely (like once a year) went before they could read. My younger kids, however, have memorized Chili's menu.<br /><br /><b>Kim</b>- You're time not ordering for him are going to end soon. Glad you had the help, even if it did pull you ahead of me in points for the week.<br /><br /><b>Davis Family</b>- It is Friday and I tell you it seems like it just snuck up on me. That is the good thing about 4 day weeks.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-50888502163055452292010-01-22T05:23:11.164-08:002010-01-22T05:23:11.164-08:00Jeanette- I remember when we could split kid's...<b>Jeanette</b>- I remember when we could split kid's meals. I still do with the youngest sometimes. It is a sad day when they want their own meal and a sadder one when it is the adult meals. Fast food and sit down restaurants!<br /><br />I've gotten lucky. My husband's work offers time and half for holidays so there are several people willing to work and he has had a lot of them off this last year.<br /><br /><b>Ambrosia</b>- Before my kids started school I would have no idea. In the summer I still get off a lot.<br /><br /><b>Alyson</b>- I know the golf channel is just weird. How much excitement can there be for an entire channel? But I guess it has an audience of at least two!<br /><br />I love to take a day now and then and deep clean all day then wash all the accumulated dirt off myself later in the night.<br /><br /><b>aletterfromhome</b>- We never ate out until the last few years when our income came up. I love it (mostly because I don't enjoy cooking or cleanup). I always wondered how our friends in school afforded it, we were on a tight budget back then. Even buying ice cream was a huge treat.Charlottehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349403417525132723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-22314105651646364702010-01-22T05:13:30.200-08:002010-01-22T05:13:30.200-08:00Gordon- That and mac and cheese.

We were going too often and have tried to cut back to about once a month to save our wallet.<br /><br /><b>Mom</b>- Dad cleaned the house? Are you sure your migraine didn't induce visions? Just kidding! Go Dad!<br /><br /><b>Linda</b>- My three year old is doing his best to recreate a puzzle mess right now.

He is a neatnik and even if it were totally clean to my standards, he'd still want to spend the whole day Saturday cleaning. Gah! He NEVER wants to just have fun.

We still do it on occasion, but most of the time when we think about going out (unless it's a date) I think how much I'd rather pay half and make it myself. And I am so glad my kids can't read yet, because I just conveniently "forget" to tell them about the $5 Kraft Mac'n'Cheese I know they'd choose. <br /><br />Barlow had the day off school, but alas, not off work or church responsibilities. I think I might have seen him to say "good morning" and "goodnight".andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08391887283343395293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-18395172426628938392010-01-19T07:40:27.551-08:002010-01-19T07:40:27.551-08:00Eating out is probably one of my worst guilty plea...Eating out is probably one of my worst guilty pleasures. My hubby and I have significantly cut back on it since we bought a house last year, but I still cringe when we go out with friends once a month. Even when our bill's less than $15 each, I think about how I can get more than week's grocery's for that for the 2 of us with coupons and sales!<br />And it's really hard because our friends/coworkers are always eating out! I don't know how they afford it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-38517710594695990552010-01-19T07:15:46.730-08:002010-01-19T07:15:46.730-08:00My husband watches that same stinkin' golf rea...My husband watches that same stinkin' golf reality show too! Can't tell you how much my skin crawls when I turn on the tv and it's on the golf channel. Would much rather see the cartoon network pop on than the golf channel! Boo! Hiss!<br /><br />Nice husband, though. I love when they do that! Unfortunately, mine didn't have the day off. So, I did a deep cleaning on my own and I didn't shower the whole day. Sorry, that's probably too much information. ;)Alyson | New England Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16209837924378793507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-273175002472753405.post-58970853546238224032010-01-19T07:02:13.551-08:002010-01-19T07:02:13.551-08:00I never know what day it is.

Although last time we got them each their own meal they actually ate it all so we might have to start getting them their own meals more often.<br />My husband did not have the day off. He was working because the external auditors decided they needed their reports about a week early.
