Consequences

I'm a big fan of consequences. . . both for myself and for my kids. I eat too much and there are lots of consequences on my biscuits. Stay up too late. . . sick. Wake up early to spend time in God's Word. . .a much better attitude and day. Love consequences.

When is it o.k. with my kids and clothes? Battles this morning regarding shorts and sleeveless shirts. Battles about putting on a sweatshirt to play outside (upper 40's here!). I insisted and then relented. Enjoy the consequences I thought. What I said was "Don't complain to me when you are cold." She was cold. Is 3 1/2 too early? 5?

Another consequence is that if my blog entries are too long, my dear husband just skims them. Is this one o.k. honey?
