And Now...a guest post by Debbie Downer
We're back to school and it stinks! We are doing a co-op this year, and it's with all the people I love most in the world. and the teachers are great, and I LOVE the curriculum...
BUT
it is kickin' my kids'
BUTTS!
It's 10:50, the older two still aren't done with today's work. Heck, they actually aren't done with YESTERDAY's work. They've had 48 questions to write the questions and answers for in ONE book alone. And this is 7-10th grade, so they require some hunting to find the answers.
Add that to the fact that my son isdumb as a post determined to not do ANYTHING I ask, and you have one frustrated Mamma.
TJ is loving it, so there is a positive. And he's totally caught up-ahead in the read aloud actually.
And Sari's co-op gets all the work done there, so she's fine, but up my craw for more "cool" work all morning long...but not math...and not reading...and not, well you get the idea. Can she please do "cool" that isn't school?
And she is the energizer bunny. It's almost 11, and she's still going strong. And she does this every night. She's usually the first kid up too. To misquote the Sound of Music...I must have had a wicked childhood to deserve a child who functions on so little sleep ;-).
And it's still hot in our school room. Like 88 degrees hot. So that's not helping anyone's mood.
Okay, enough venting. Tomorrow is another day. God's mercies are new every morning. Mine can be too :-).
