Thanks, Sumi!!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
When I take work home, if I don't start right off it ain't happening. Or I have to start at like 1 am when shit gets real.

Trust my rage
The best thing EVER for Emmett was having an aftercare program where everybody did homework
My friend's kids do this and I am jealous. My main issue is that she can't read yet so and adult being right there is a must. Thankfully, she does 90% after school with my dad.

My elderly cat gets a mat at the same spot. For two years. I cut it when it gets long but it stays in the same spot.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
(I'm pretty sure I'll be able to watch tonight's Downton Abbey at pbs.org, at least.)
You certainly will! Dooooowntonnnn.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
good after-school programs are like the best thing ever in the world wrt homework, especially those early years. Mac has zero idea how to study though and man he is hell-bent to not do ANYTHING with me. I am trying to see if there are things they offer in the upper elementary grades about teaching basic study skills, rather than just doing homework sheets.

everyone in NYC should start referring to Upton, Dooownton, and Miiidton.

They cut an awesome Downton promo to Petula Clark, but only showed it to us at an all-staff. It was hilarious.

I feel the same way. It drives me crazy how much of MY time is required for homework.
HAHAHAH! Noah has occasional homework and the shine has not worn off it yet (pre-K!) but I was just kvetching that I hate how the homework is last minute to us ("Here's a coffee can! Fill it with things that start with the letter D! It's due tomorrow!") and we scramble to do it.
And I know what the teacher is trying to accomplish and am generally for it, but still it makes me grumbly.
Like Stephanie, the hard part is that since he's preliterate I have to do the homework. It's an assignment for me!
We have been doing workbook stuff every day this break and I hope to continue that as a school thing. Both kids surprisingly love to do it and call it their homework.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
My elderly cat gets a mat at the same spot. For two years. I cut it when it gets long but it stays in the same spot.
Kittenish has a spot that I just wonder if she can even groom easily now. So far just brushing fixes things but I can easily see us getting into mat territory and I do not look forward to it.
