We lead a busy life around here. The kids homeschool 5-6 hours a day, the hubby goes to work FT 4 days a week and then comes home to work another 30-40 hours at his "work from home office" job. With summer upon us, we now have one child old enough to get a job (Lord help me, I'm not old enough to have a child old enough for a job) and due to get her learner's permit in 52 days (No, seriously, no one in this house is counting the day. Really). There is volunteer work, church and a myriad of other things that I'm sure everyone reading this is totally familiar with.
Singing to the choir, I am.
Even though we are home together most of the time, family time though critical, is hard to come by.
To that end, we established two rituals:
Game Night and Family Move Nights.
Game Night is usually just the kids and I, becasue of John's schedule. we drag out old favorites like Monopoly or Trivial Pursuit. Last year we discovered a new game called Dread Pirate, and love it!
We play card games, and are currently looking for a Jenga game.
Family Movie Night falls twice a week, late, after John has finished working. The kids drag their stuff into our room, and we have a sleepover. It's great fun!
Living where we do, we only had one movie rental place. Unfortunately, one day it was just closed up and gone. I later heard they went bankrupt.
Fortunately, though, I had just won free membership to Netflix through a giveaway at Owlhaven! Waht a blessing it has become!
It's pretty simple. I went in and perused the listings of movies they offer (over 100,000 titles), added them to my "queue" with one click of the mouse and Voila! Movies were in my mailbox within two day. There are no time limits, no late fees, and after we've watched them, they just go back in the prepaid envelope.
Once they get the movies back (normally the day after I mail them off), the next movies in our queue are pulled and shipped. We have not waited more than a couple of days for the next movies to arrive.
The best part is there ARE! NO! LATE! FEES!
Frankly, I don't see how the other movie rental place went bankrupt with the amount of late fees I paid to them.
So, now for the fun part.
