Cable is not good TV

So far, I have been able to stop the terrible invasion of cable in the home. Things are not getting done here anyway because instead of doing the big things and the kids and my wife handling the little things, I have to do the small stuff too.

It is gratifying to have to stop in the middle of a big project where I am fixing something so unimportant as the roof, to cook dinner or get the DVD player to work. Like I give a crap about them watching a movie when they eat.
Unless something drastically changes, This house will colapse before I get the major repairs done prior to winter. A minor weather problem with it snowing later on this week might make fixing a leaky roof a moot point real soon.

Juggling my job, looking for another job (as always), fixing the house, listening to the kids and my wife complain all the time, and getting homework done at night is taking it's toll on me.

Now I wonder what will actually get done when the cable gets installed? Besides no one being able to sleep because she turns it up so damn loud and is a complete jerk when I repeatedly ask her to turn it down. It is not the kids fault she can't hear worth a crap, or mine either. So the kids and I keep on suffering with a hateful sleep.

I am so happy the cable is not on (for now) It gets installed next week I think. I try and not think about the problems it will cause. I really think that I could go without a TV for a very long time. I always prefered the radio.
