pure craziness on a daily basis.

Things have been insane the last month.  Well maybe getting more insane is the right way to put it. This past week has been extremely off kilter. Tuesday, after days upon days of frustration with how the boys treat DVD movies and PS2 games. I went through all of them and threw away all the horribly scratched unplayable ones.  Then I proceeded to pack the rest in a garbage bag and put them in the storage closet. They are banned from movies for a month. This is only way that I know how to teach them that they need to take care of their things.  The house has been pretty quiet without a constant movie or game on. truthfully, I am enjoying the less noise.

School has been a mark of frustration this week.  Jaedon is having a really bad attitude about it and it shows when he is doing his work.  He will take as long as he can to do a particular assignment.  He spent 2 hours yesterday doing Geography.  All he had to do was identify 10 states and write down the names.

We have started reading through Exodus at lunch time.  They both really enjoy it and are able to recall what i read.

Today, i let them have some play time for about an hour hoping to get some energy out.  we are starting school in 10 minutes. hoping and praying that the Lord will take control and take our school day.
