We started out with a nice night tonight with the kids. We layed on the trampoline and tried to find stars(I think we found 6), sang, and just chatted. I love moments like that since it seems they are becoming fewer and farther between. We came inside and were able to play a few games together before the girls had to take off for their leadership training meeting.
I was just sitting down to the computer after everyone seemed to be settled when Rebecca came in with a not so good progress report from math. She now has to retake almost every test if she wants to improve her grade and was wondering if I could pick her up every day after school so she could do this. A few minutes later, Jake came in upset because he forgot to read this weekend and feels like he needs to make up for the other days and should read at least 45 minutes tonight. A few minutes later, Nate came in and asked if I could type his report. As I was typing it, I remembered in the back of my mind that when he got this assignment he talked about doing a poster or a diarama with it. I called him in the room and asked him when the project is due. He said it was due tomorrow. We quickly printed some pictures off the internet and glued them onto an old poster I had sitting around. This is all after a horrible Saturday of me yelling at my kids literally from 10:30 to 6:00pm to get their rooms and chores done. I think I need some parenting lessons because I am definately doing something wrong! And the night started out so nice! Why can't it just always be that way?

I think that is how all kids are. But all we can do is try and keep them on the right path. I think your a good mom and that is easy to see in how happy your kids are in there pics.
It's so good to know that my kids aren't the only ones that tell me about a big school project at 9:00 on a Sunday night. I feel so normal now. :) lol
