I didn't because our NBC airs Olympics at that time and then I'm usually watching more Olympics when it reshows (sorry but my favorite sports shown only 1 every 4 years versus unrealistic families struggling MMMMmmm...) but I did look online at the families and I actually did feel like I could relate.

Oh, don't get me wrong they are on a far different scale than I am but at the same time giving stuff up is hard! Even stuff you don't use....I've been trying to e-bay some stuff and I find myself rationalizing like crazy. DH is even worse (we apparentely will have the need any day now for the box of 45's sitting in the basement taped up from our move 6 years ago).

Did you watch? What did you think?

****I think the show helped prove my own theory that the grass sometimes looks greener--but it really isn't. It doesn't matter that they make $120G/yr when they can't pay their electric bill.****

Well said. Not to mention, it is hard to keep the grass green if your water has been shut off.

LOL!! Thanks for the laugh, Kellie! This is so true, but just the way it sounded when I read it made me laugh. Just what I needed after a long day. :-D
