Springtime School Blahs

School lately has been blah! Motivating mud kind of days. I am frustrated because nothing is getting done and if it is, it is so slowwwww.

I decided to make up a contract with each child of there daily chores and school. I had them sign it.

Here is the new rules, signed and understood by everyone.

-No TV or playing until all chores and school is done. (I told them that if it meant they work into the night, too bad. Dad won't rescue them!)

-Mom is no longer available for school after 2pm. (Because I am mentally done at that time and don't want to be bothered with it. Plus I am tired of feeling the punishment for their Slowski mood) They can ask Dad for help when he gets home. And Dad can ask why they are taking all day!?!

-If they don't chose to get their school work done, it cuts into their summer. Yes, I decided to take summer off. I needed some bribery power!


Two days into it and I think we have something that is working, at least for the moment!
