boys to basketball practice and my daughter to football training.Then I have to take my other son to piano lessons.Maybe I could cut out a few of their activities,but I believe these activities are important for my childrens future.I really want them to be successful.”However,the tired children dont get home until after 7:00 p.m.They have a quick dinner,and then its time for homework.Linda
