Household Routines - Yuck!!!!!!

For my entire life, my family has been bad about staying with the same old, same old. Please look at the following examples:

1.) Everyday, my Nana has dinner on the table at exactly 1:00 pm.

Several things are wrong with this. Not only is it always at 1:00, she always has biscuts, and a fried food ( Now, every now and then, she will cook spagetti, not often, Papa doesn't like it.)

2.) Every Friday, we go out to eat.

This bothers me immensly, not the going out to eat, its where we go. We either go to Woody's or Pier Six. Now don't get me wrong, those are fine establishment, but they do get old.

3.) Every Night, we watch a football game.

For as long as I can remeber, My father has always watched a football game after supper. This gets so annoying when all you hear is," Touchdown" all night long.


So, In Conclusion, If you are a parent, put a little spice in your life and the lives of you children. Here are some idea's to help.

1.) For dinner, if you cook at home, try to have a different cultural meal at least 2 times a week, Italian, Chinese, Latin, or old family recipes from Germany or Israel. Then go out of your way to try different recipes from online or cookbooks. This will really put taste in your life. * Also, set different meal times.

2.) For after dinner, try to watch televison only on 2 days a week, ( Tuesdays and Wednesday because of "American Idol," just kidding :) Other nights, try family bible studies, game night ( with your favorite board games) or just read a book together. Do anything to keep yourself from watching that filth on TV. * If finances allow, try to see a good movie at least once a month ( at the Starke, Florida movie theater, they only charge 5$ for a film.)
