What am I missing?

Nothing apparently.

It's been a really busy time around the house recently. One consequence is that I've not spent any time in front of the TV. Not that that's a bad thing, but I admit that it's a little different.

I used to love watching TV. I'd find TV shows that I thought sounded interesting, set them up to record on the DVR, and then when the kids and wife went up to bed, I'd sit back in the recliner and play catch up -- or try to anyway. Things got a little out of hand and I started falling behind. So I picked the show that I liked least and removed the DVR series recording.

Then I fell further behind, so I removed another. Then another. Then I finally just stopped removing them with the intention that when I did feel like watching something, there should be something there to watch.

But I've never gotten back to watch anything. Things some up -- homework to check or help with (though I love that my wife does most of this before I get home), chores to do, this and that... Time just slips away.

As the kids are back in school, there is no "screen time" (TV, or computer) during the week to avoid the temptation for them to rush through homework too quickly, so that removes the lead in to me watching it more when they go to bed.

A couple of months ago I was really geeked about a couple of shows, but I can't even tell you if they're still on or have already been cancelled. There is not a single show that I watch regularly right now. I still have the TV on in the background upstairs at night, but for the most part I don't pay any attention to it. I watch a few family shows with the kids on the weekend when time allows, but that's it. And I am surprisingly OK with that. I thought there would be some withdrawal or something.

We still record the stuff for the kids (a few cartoons and Disney shows and science shows that they like) and my wife (Grey's, etc), but I've pretty much given up...

And I'm OK with that.
