Right now I am...
typing an entry on my blog
while I watch the snow fall.
While I wait for Mary to draw a picture for her history homework so I can help with her next assignment.
Yep, I'm the homework buddy for today. The last several months she hasn't needed too much help with her homework, not since we discovered she's got ADD. She's more in the inattentive spectrum, not the hyperactive spectrum. That's Alex. He's the hyperactive one. Who knows about Adam. Let's hope not.
Once we learned some tricks about how to help Mary deal with her ADD (yep medication, but also other homework strategies and parenting strategies) she has done SOOOOO much better with homework. She gets more done at school and has an easier time with homework, although her spelling is still a work in progress.
Today Mary's got a major case of the tireds. Yep, tireds is a word, at least for today. Her math took an hour.
So here I sit helping her with homework. Well except now I'm not. Because turns out that last assignment she needed help with really was just her incomplete reading log from last week that she was supposed to turn in today. What was incomplete about it you may ask? I forgot to sign it!! (Maybe I have ADD too, although it's much more likely that I'm just a mom who's busy...)
So what else have I been up to for the last several months. Well, that's a post for another day. I'm going to enjoy watching the snow fall for a bit longer and then eat some strawberry pie and read Harry Potter to the kids. (We're on book 6, and the pie is pretty darn tasty.)
