This was our first full week of school and...every morning was pretty decent till this morning...lol...richie was not in the mood to go to school today!
I sure hope he is mood got better for his teacher....of course its early out friday...so he only has to go a half a day!
But other then that....so far so good on this end!
How about you guys?

I know what you mean...I got three of them to get around in the morning...and as of yet...I'm still waiting for christian to complete a full week of school. So Yesterday I made the decision to have him put into a study hall...so that he can have help with make up work and such from his absences. I keep hoping that his stamina will get better and his absenses will become less and less.

Chris doesn't like getting up in the morning but what teenager does? Tee hee- Jarl has to get him up and to school since I have to be at work at 7 a.m. so I can be home for the afternoon shift. Jarl is not really a morning person and previous years Chris has been tardy more than once. The middle school is just a couple blocks away from where Jarl reports for work but the high school is clear across town so he has had to be more organized in the morning. HA!! I threatened to change my hours so I could get Chris off to school and Chris said NO! I want you home afterschool. Homework has been easy since it is in his IEP to get most of the homework done at school. YEA!!

Seems like we get a good go and then we have dr.s appts or something. Hey there's always next week right! LOL

It's amazing how much easier life gets with the routine. It's funny, by the end of the school year, I think I hate it, but by the end of the summer, I'm just soooo grateful when school starts!

and yep I have heard them all and including...I have to walk the dog!
Or I did it last night!
Well we keep trying...but today the kids are home...cause richie is coming down with a cold and decided to get everyone up at 2 this morning....so we have been really lazy today.

what excuses have you heard for not being able to get to the homework??? Hear are a few from this bunch...

1...I didn't hear you calling
2...I neeed to go to the bathroom
3...I need to feed the cat
4...Oh yea, I need to feed the dog too
5...do you want a cup of coffee
6...do you want to watch the news
7...can I help with dinner
8...don't we need to go shopping
9...I need to rest my brain
10...If you give me the answers I will get done faster, you know this stuff, you always say, you already when to school, so help then...

Oh, there are more that include how the neighbor needs them.

I honestly do not know why I send these guys to school, they do more work at home than there...and I do not get paid...but go figure...a teacher gets paid to send the school work home for parents to teach, and some government fool, has stated that parents need to hold a degree to teach our own child, but a teacher with a degree can send the school work home and that is o.k.

So far so good...praise GOD!, even having to get a two year old ready has gone smoothly...Julian just goes with the flow, and sits to work when I tell him too...Now the others are questionable, they have an excuse for not being able to sit and get there homework done...but in this house I am the commander and chief...and there are no re-election coming up soon, so they will comply because I said soooo...
