Made it through Lent

So today is the end of Lent. Easter Sunday. I had a terrible time trying to convince my daughter that the day was about anything but candy and easter egg hunts (in the rain), but I gave it my all. You may recall that I gave up coffee, refined sugar and committed myself to more time with my daughter this Lent. How did I do? Well two out of three ain’t bad. I stayed off the mud. Not one cup of coffee caffinated or decaf. But I still drank diet soda and black tea. Couldn’t give up the jolt. This morning I went to Diablo for a Cafe con Leche. I swear it was the best coffee ever. On the refined sugar, when Alex fell off her committment to that after a week, it was hard for me to comply. Besides, the stuff is EVERYWHERE. With the more time with Finn, I did the surf day at her school and the kids still call me “surf daddy”. I also did a couple other things for the school including parenting on the zoo fieldtrip. Didn’t loose any kids to the gorillas, so I guess it was a success. How did you do?
