Off - Day 1

Things were very busy today. Very busy.

I coached my high schoolers from 6-8am, the YMCA kiddos from 9-1 and our adults rowers from 6-8pm. Yes...that's 8 hours of coaching rowing. A full time job.

I also did a load of laundry, dishes, had lunch with some of my kids, cleaned and moved the grill, played catch with Amanda in the backyard, talked on the phone, read a book and took a nice nap.

And I didn't watch one second of TV.

I missed it a little this morning as I was getting ready to leave for the lake. It's always on as I get coffee, have breakfast, feed dogs...you know, morning stuff.

And I'm not gonna lie...I'm missing it a little right now. It's the way I wind down before bed. A little mindless TV.

The problem is just that...it's mindless.

I don't know if I would have gotten as much done today if the TV had been on. I'm guessing not.

Jenn, this is going to take quite a bit of effort!!! We are going to have to tighten the belt on the "ambient noise" eh?! I figure if we play music in the background, it'll seem like the TV's on!
