Well this is my first blog. This week has been hectic-But think this is the first week my boys have been in school for the whole week. Miracle!
I have to share about my Monday morning. It started off great. Got up/dressed and then went to say Good morning to my two boys. Got them up and told them they had 25 minutes to get dressed and ready for school. Well, it went on totally on deaf ears!! They found this old red scarf and were having fun. They were pulling each other/ chasing each other / just having a good time.
Instead of my normal reminding them to get ready, then REMINDING THEM TO GET READY, then YOU'D BETTER GET READY OR ELSE-I decided that they could be late. They had fun, I cleaned my freezer and then around 7:50, my oldest looked at the clock and then at me. I told him that he would be late to school and that since he didn't have time to help me with his lunch, he would be eating whatever the cafeteria was serving.
He could have cared less about the being late part, but oh the cafeteria food brought tears. He was going to have absolutely nothing to eat because the meal that day was pinto beans!! He couldn't believe I would starve him.
So we made it to school, the boys had to apologize to their teachers for being late, and lucky kids the menu had been changed to popcorn chicken!!
We will see if the lesson is taken to heart.

I have done the same thing and my kids, too, could not care less about being late... but a bad day in the cafe? THAT they'll remember. I don't even start fixing their lunches anymore until they are completely dressed, down to their shoes, with their hair fixed.
ReplyDeleteYeah, you started a blog. How exciting! I think you spoke too soon about being in school for a week. I almost cried this morning when school was canceled. Good job on sticking to your guns on Monday. No better motivation than the thought of eating yucky food for lunch.
