How Will I Survive Family Life during Lent?

Oh, your so nice to me–or were you just kidding when you wrote I give good advice.

HA! I see the errors in my sentences now. That happens with me a lot. I type and submit often before I have a chance to read it over - you know - two year old in the house.

No I was kidding that your sacrifice should not be ours. Yes, I think you give good advice!

You are so funny. My DH loves tv. its just what he does to relax. last night he was watching some sort of show about prisions in south America…I couldnt watch it becuase it was so upsetting. He cn also watch golf for hours:hypno: .
I usually end up takeing a bath or playing games with the kids. our new favorite is “You’ve been sentanced” it is where you get cards with random words and have to make the best sentance you can, and get points based on the words you use. If the sentance is not gramatically correct, you get no points. We find it lots of fun. Sometimes I read to the kids, even th bigs like it, or take turns reading Shel Silverstein poems. They really like D’aulaires Trolls.
Since you homeschool you might just want to be by yourself at night…
I am thinking of giveing up most of my computer time too.

'Tas the night before Ash Wednesday and all through the house, the keyboard was clicking and especially the mouse…

Thanks for all the suggestions, support and laughs on this thread. I will miss you.:bighanky: I still haven’t decided about Sundays. I might pop in to check for Leonie’s baby news…

I look forward to chatting again after Easter. In the meantime… I’ll pray more, read more, exercise more, play more games with the kids, take more bubble baths, and in general spend more time focusing on my spiritual and family life. Hopefully, I won’t fight with my husband over the tv & remote.

Have a blessed lent everyone!
