ok, so mean mamma just wants to say.....thanks...to acw and scw for all of those years that i did not have to monitor your homework progress, worry about spelling words, or math drills, or spend 45 minutes cajoling either one of you to write more than 1 sentence on what labor day means to you that did not come straight out of the dictionary........ tonight, i have spent the last 2 hours working through the spelling word thing- trying to get from 'i already know my words' to 'i don't want to do the words' to 'i will never have to know these words ' to numerous time outs, an almost missed supper, and finally an effeciently spent 10 minutes actually writing down words that mean mamma said aloud (yes, aloud was a word tonight, as well as allowed, as in cayle is not allowed to drive a car....) so frustrating when your daughter cannot be just like your sons....again, guys, thanks so very much........
