I've been working on a project this week, and I got it done tonight! Well, I still have a little tidying up to do, but I ran out of daylight, so the rest can wait for the weekend. I got rid of my satellite dish a couple of years ago to save money--we use Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon instead. I had this little antenna that picked up a few broadcast channels, but I was missing some shows that we like. So, I got a new big antenna from Amazon, and I installed it on my roof myself. I used the J mount that my old Directv dish was on, and now I pick up 15 channels!
Except for my daughter handing me the antenna that I had mounted on the mast while I was standing on the ladder, I did the whole thing by myself, and I'm pretty proud of the job I did. The whole time I was working on this, my daughter kept wanting to knock on neighbors' doors to find a couple of men--nope, I didn't need any help! My son-in-law told me last weekend that he'd come out and do it for me--didn't need him, either....
So, what have you done around the house as a single parent that makes you proud? Did people doubt that you could do it?
