Not enough hours in the day.....

Have you ever felt like there was just not enough hours in the day to get things done? Boy do we feel that way after this week! Between homework, school, work and everything else, I am amazed we survived the week.

Today when I picked AJ up from school, the afterschool program director talked to me for a little while because AJ has not been doing his homework or does not want to complete his homework while he is there. AJ's teacher also had to come to the afterschool program and talk to him about his homework because he has been hiding his homework in his desk at school instead of bringing the papers home to work on. The last couple of days, I have asked AJ if he had homework and he would tell me he finished it in class. So yesterday in his assignment notebook, I wrote his teacher a note to see if this was really the case. And of course that was when we found all of the papers in his desk. So needless to say, it took us 2 1/2 hours to complete all of his assignments tonight. We had a long talk with AJ about his school work and responsibility about getting his homework done. Hopefully this will help, but I am not going to hold my breath!

Ashleigh is doing well in school! She is learning how to write her name, however, she can't seem to get all of the letters! She writes her name like this: A S H G H. I guess that's a start! She is also starting to recognize letters in books and on paper which is really neat! I think she is going to have an easier time in school than AJ! Hopefully, she will enjoy school!

Now on to making lunches, ironing uniforms and getting ready for tomorrow! Have a good night! Thank god tomorrow is FRIDAY!
