What does Hard Knock Life mean?

I sure do wish my husband had the same days off every week. It isn't easy scheduling Dr. appointments and errands and outings for the kids when your husband needs the car for work and his days off change every week. I do sort of enjoy living the simple life. I don't mean easy. I guess what I mean is that I enjoy trying to live the way people did a hundred years ago. As Americans, I think we tend to over use the Earth's resources, because we feel that we need all this stuff. For example, my husband went around to every light fixture in our house and unscrewed every light bulb but one in each fixture. Why on earth do we need 10 huge bulbs blaring at us in the bathroom. Two seems to get the job done. I am about to start drying our clothes out on a clothesline as well. Obviously not the undies!! The dryer produces so much heat, which in turn makes our air conditioner work that much harder. I wonder how much we will cut out of our electric bill? I think the boys and I might try walking into town one morning. It will probably take about twenty minutes and we could get donuts! I wish we had a farmers market! That would be fun! Then we could hit the pool on the way back to cool off before lunch. I could be getting in way over my head so we will just call it an adventure and see what happens.
