Lessons for Today:

Carrying a heavy box through a hot factory right after eating too much sugar is not a good thing.

If you're going to blow yourself up, make sure your car isn't as well built as this one.

And finally, if you're going to lie to your mother and tell her you don't have pre-algebra homework, it's probably not a good idea to do it while she has your teacher on Yahoo Messenger.

Not much to talk about today. We've spent the evening doing the battle of the homework. And it's still going on....

Good news is, it rained all night last night. But I'm afraid for this year's crops, it is too little too late.

More good news, Scarlett hasn't urfed yet and it's been 4 days. Maybe we'll get past this eventually.

My son is the same way about homework. Why?? Why do they seem to have this determination to NOT do their homework? School hasn't started here yet, but the past 2 years have been a battle with him. Towards the end of the year I had daily email contact with his teachers-we basically had to tag team him to do the work. SO FRUSTRATING! And he ended up for the second summer, having to go to summer school for math.

Oh, I feel for you girl! I am so there! We've been doing this for seven years now (K-6th grade). It is rediculous what I have to go through to get him to do this homework. This is the first year I've ever had one of his teachers on IM, though. Why didn't I think of that before? It has made it SOOOO easy to double team him!

Cody has never had to go to summer school, so far, but he doesn't make nearly the grades he could be making if he would just do his work.
