Homework Blues

I am tired of making children do their homework....complain grumble...oh wait is that me or the kids! I can't wait till summer is here and there is no more homework and no more books no more teacher's emails. I am looking forward to not having that stress. I love my children but they hate their homework and hate doing it. It frustrates me so much to watch them struggle with their homework.

IEPS

Well today is IEP day. We set up the individualized education plans for the boys. UGGG! I hate them. I am trying to have a positive attitude about it. The boys are struggling in LA and in math now. Math is because they do not turn in their homework. I am trying to think of a goal for the boys so it is worded that they will turn in their homework. Colton has 4 assignements done and sitting in his take home folder not turned in. I can not walk him to class to hand them in. HMMM maybe I should do that. It seems to cycle around like this. They don't want to do their homework any more. UGGG

UGGG another one of those days

Well I was going to just hang out at the house and not do anything. Courtney got sick at school. Her tummy hurt. So I went to go get her from school. I had to pick up some 7-Up and chicken noodle soup. So she comes home and eats some chicken noodle soup and feels a hundred times better. I don't know if it cut through the mucus in her tummy or if she just played the nurse at school. Her temperature was 99.7 so they did not have to send her home.

A friend called and she was at her mom's house because she had a migraine and needed me to pick the kids up because of her medications. So I went and got them and dropped them off there.

The boys got home and did their homework. They were very good about doing all of their homework tonight. I don't know why but they did it. They had tons of homework this week. I suppose it has to do with only having 2 half days of school last week and they need to make it up.

I did get to listen to the Cd's today and exercise for an hour. It feels good to be exercising all the time. I also have lost 10 lbs in 2 weeks. I have been exercising and watching what I eat.

Dog Tired

I am so tired tonight. I am waiting for the boys to finish their homework so we can go to bed. 10 more math problems for Caleb. I hate Thursdays because all of their weekly homework is due tomorrow. The procrastinate and save it for Thursday night and then make it miserable for all of us.

There is supposed to be more snow moving in tonight. Maybe there will be a late start tomorrow. :) Then I will not have to work. I worked all day today so I am dog tired. I am glad I worked some extra hours today so in case there is snow I have some time on my check this week.

The boys have sleep over birthday party I need to get a card for the boy, we are just giving cash as a gift. I think at the age of 12 it is the best gift you can give. I don't know what else to get him. The boys didn't really have any ideas either.

So I have to round up the sleeping bags so they can take it over to his house.
