Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

My older three kids have been arguing CONSTANTLY for the past couple of weeks. Hardly a kind word to/for each other comes out of their mouths these days, and it is driving me batty. I think part of our problem is our climate , but does anybody have any ideas (beyond the standard time-out, cool-down, loss of priveleges kind of thing) of how to solve this problem? Or, at least to make it a little better?

Fortunately, it's almost 60 degrees today. We still have a lot of snow, though, so I still had to put the kids in snowpants and *force* them to go outside. Maybe they'll sweat some of the crankiness out!

Road trip?
Go to a matinee movie?
Ice cream parlor?
When my kids act like this I just want to get the heck out of the house. A change of scenery can work wonders.
