RESOLVE

Interesting question you pose to me sister.  I haven't thought of doing back-to-school resolutions but it is a fine idea.  After some thought and consideration, here you go:

1. Select clothing the night before
2. Calm atmosphere in the morning
3. Calm atmostphere at night during homework
4. Better bedtime routine

Even though I just established this list, we are not doing good so far.  It didn't help that I was out of town the 2nd week of school.  And it is funny how each kid gives business for a different thing.  For example: 

Jack - spends hours on homework (although he is doing great so far)

Matthew - does not want to go to bed at night

Kate - does not like any outfit that I pick out ... everything bothers her

I am finding it hard to keep everything organized with everyone coming and going from all different directions.  My house looks and feels like a fraternity!  I am already missing the dog days of summer.
