Yesterday was a tough day, I made several resolutions towards the season of Lent and my children fought each step of the way.  All in all it was a really rough day.  Today I have resolved to make it better.  We are outside (despite the heavy chill in the air), kids are playing and 'm still able to get some much needed homework done.  It's a sacrifice on my part as I shiver but as long as they are bundled up and warm and happy that's what really matters.  The TV can only keep them occupied so long and they can only play quietly for so long.  My kids as most kids need to run and be loud!
