Homework

I know everyone is tired of hearing me complain about Tom being gone, but I just need to vent this morning. This is the closest thing to adult conversation that I am going to get.

Laura was loaded with homework last night. We knew this was coming, but what I didn't know was that she had this HUGE Spanish report due. The kids were given three days and a weekend to get this done during class. Laura was given a mentally handicapped partner. This meant that she did all the work instead of it being divided evenly among two kids. I hope the teacher realized this. When she announced that she was done with the packet, I took a look at what she had. She was missing 9 parts of the assignment. I saw red and told her that in "No Way" was she done. I made her do it, even with tears (from the both of us). The report is done and so am I, but I start my string class and sub today. Yeah, I am a little grumpy and a lot tired.

I have to get a grip as I am the adult in this situation. We didn't have time for the hot tub last night, but I know I better get there tonight, for the kid's sake.

Tonight she has to finish a book report and study for a big humanities test. Did I mention that I wish Tom were home?
