Lent is tomorrow.  Earlier I posted about my lack of discipline, and that I wanted to try to do something to prove to myself that I could have some discipline.  I am not Catholic, and I don't know very much about Lent at all, but it seems like a good time to start.

I am not doing this for penitence, there's nothing I could do or not do or say or not say to earn Salvation.  Jesus died on the cross for my sins, and I believe that following his plan for salvation is all I need (hear, believe, repent, confess, be baptized).

I am, however, doing this as a way to remind myself that I absolutely can do anything if I set my mind to it.  It's less about giving something up, and more about setting in place some discipline and self-control.  And with that, I'm drinking another Mt. Dew before midnight :D

The afternoon has been crazy busy. Anthony was here so we could work on an outline for a project due next week.  Ali has a family tree due Thursday, so we (with the help of Eric's sister and cousin) have been working on that.  My parents family tree can be traced back for what seems like ever (because there are so many people in our family, it's easy to track them), but Eric's family isn't quite as easy.  It'll be fun to see it all come together, though.

I didn't sleep last night and now I'm exhausted, so as soon as Eric comes in the door, it is night night time!

Oh and my babies are starting gymnastics on the 5th.  Ali has wanted to do it forever, and Dylan decided he wanted to try it too.  Should prove to be a very interesting ride!

Anyhow, here, to suck you in to actually read this mess, is a picture blurry, grainy, dark cellphone picture of my babies :D
