Saturdays are for sleeping in...?

Does anyone else besides me remember doing this as a kid: you'd get up tired on school mornings, then bounding out of bed at 6:00 a.m. on Saturday to watch cartoons, & remaining vegged out there (except for eating breakfast) until, oh, 11:00 a.m or noon?

This morning found hubby and myself awake, alert, & energetic at the ungodly hour of 4:35 a.m. Rather than stay in bed, we got up to fuel up the woodstove, do the supper dishes our children never did last night, and basically have some Q-time with each other before he had to leave for work shortly after 7:00. It never occurred to me to check out the Saturday morning kids' TV extravaganzas because I can't stand half the children's programming that's on nowadays--give me some old Bullwinkle, Underdog, or Flintstones episodes instead of the standard fare that somehow HAS to include Miley Cyrus! :P (My personal opinion only--she's talented, but enough is as good as a feast.)

However, despite not sleeping late, I managed to score a major coup at JC Penney's--my 9 year old needed some pants & got them, plus a pair of rhinestone-studded jeans for the holidays, for (get this) UNDER $20.00 thanks to the $10.00 off coupon I had! Woo hoo!
