okay, okay, i have been loathing
around the house today,
and decided to check in on my blogroll,
it has been AGES,
and if you think that I have stopped coming by your site,
I haven't come by any for a long time,
[i am sorry, i miss you]
between traveling,
the baptism,
finals for me,
helping my kids with their homework
[the last one - homework- is new to me,
i got some WORDS thrown my way,
that pretty much told me that
I wasn't cutting it as a mother,
when it comes to my kids study habits,
hey, in my defense I thought
they learned enough in school,
seriously,
they have my kids for
7 hours every day anything
they haven't taught them
during that time isn't my problem.
I only get them for four hours
a night before bedtime;
time that I don't feel
should be wasted doing
MORE school work.
scary huh!]...poor kids.
So, what Makes My Monday....
hmmmm, let me think:
okay, here goes...
my niece, my daughter, my youngest two sons...
and My oldest...makes my day as well...
he opted out of the dandelion
photo opportunity,
regretfully, when he heard
about all the fun we had...
I love dandelions,
I love my kids,
I don't love that they both grow like weeds...
have a happy monday!

I know exactly what you mean about the homework. Mine is in kindergarten, and she has homework everyday. Isn't that crazy?
You have a fabulous Monday yourself. School for you huH? That is so awesome. Good for you.
Cute picture with all of the dandelions. My kids grow like weeds too!
At least school is almost out, right?
No, you have a happy Monday!
Oh I so not looking forward to homework...I totally agree with you on the homework thing! Great picture and hope you had a great mother's day. Stopping in from Cheryl's MMM.
My kids grow like weeds too. SO sad!! )0:
This is such a poetic post! That picture and your words are just wonderful...that you've played along this week, so thoughtfully, Makes My Monday!
Thanks! (and I wish the weed-like growth would slow a bit too!)
Hey, I'm right with you. I totally agree that if the kids are in school for 6-7 hours why aren't they learning? Why do they have to come home and have hours worth of reinforcement? If I spent 1 hour a day on any given subject I would be an expert by the end of a few months. Really. Oh, wait, homeschoolers complete the same curriculum in about 3-4 hours a day. So that most of the time is wasted in classroom management and social stuff. And whoever decided that a bookmobile or a diorama was a good way to give a book report? Who? Add to that, I feel like I ALREADY did school. I'm DONE doing school. Do I really have to do it again? 5 times? I resent this.
So, I feel your pain. Really, I do. And you are a good Mom for enduring all the school work help that your kids need!!!
And, I guess, when we, as mothers, spend time helping our kids with their school work that really is time spent with them. Sometimes even one-on-one. I think that means a lot to the kids. I have lots of memories of my parents helping me with school projects. Until I got into high school and then I worked independently. That’s the goal, right?
aaaaargh! homework. i so agree with your sentiments on it. feels like i'm in school all over again some days...
So you're in school too!! Great job!
I love dandelions too. :)
