Welcome to Dana's blog!

parental joys........

Last night was ugly. Turns out that Mat was overtired, but that was not seen until later. The rule is that I am allowed to spot check math timed tests at any time and if htey are not 100% complete, no youth for that not. Mat had been doing a good job so I wasn't spot checking. My mistake. But we are trying to let Mat have some 'control' and responsibilities. So I realized my mistake when it dawned on me that I was asking if his timed TEST was done. I could've shown you each day he had math on a Monday. ARGH! Another 25+ tests WERE NOT DONE! So no youth. The amt of caterwalling I heard was beyond unreasonable. Which garnered him loosing youth for all of Dec (which in retrospect is 2 meetings!LOL). Meanwhile, he was very, very angry. He wrote on his shirt in green pen. Which this morning he learned lost him all of December's allowance to make up for the shirt. I went in at 10 last night tho (he's normally up WAY past 10!) and he was GONE! DEAD TO THE WORLD! Needless to say, today has gone MUCH better and he's almost caught up on timed tests and the world can go on.........LOL

But today I haven't done much. CLeaned up, put away the dry laundry, etc. Realized that Mat's 'fun' last night cost me a trip to the grocery. So that's what we are doing today. I also dont' know when the last time his amphians were fed so we're going to the 'big' town and getting crickets and my reward for yesterday will be a Starbucks (have no fear, I have gift cards!LOL).

I also made the cheeseballs today so we'll drop that off at horseman's.
