What?!? No TV?!?

• That's right! Our family has turned the tv off for one whole week. I can't believe it even as I write it! The kids don't know it yet. I'll drop the bomb on them when they get home from school (he-he-he). Can't wait to see THAT reaction. I even balk at the decision myself--and I'm the one who thought of it. Actually, not I, but the Holy Spirit and my husband confirmed it. It's something that we need to do. I find myself parked on the couch in front of the tv more and more. And listening to my kids less and less. Last night my precious youngest said my name like 5 times before I even realized it. It makes my stomach turn just to think of it. He's having a few troubles at school and I'm sure some of it is b/c he watches too much Cartoon Network and Disney Channel and doesn't get enough quality and QUANTITY time with his family. Yep. We all need a little break. Time for the Hinojosas to get back to the basics. Hang out. Talk. LISTEN. Laugh. Will it be hard? Yes! Will we have to be creative? Yes (oh no--I don't have a creative bone in my body)! Will God honor our obedience in seeing this through? You bet!!!
