Homework time! Please pass the corkscrew.
I am about to help Big Son with his homework. He is going to tell me he doesn`t understand it and can`t do it because he`s too stupid and can`t read English. I am going to clench my teeth into something that I hope resembles a smile, and constantly reassure him that he CAN do, that he`s NOT stupid, that he can do ANYTHING if he would only just TRY! We will repeat this ritual in approximately 3 minute cycles, and it will take us an hour and a half to finish one Social Studies worksheet.
The only way I seem to be able to get through this without screaming is by drinking wine. Does anyone wonder why I`m not homeschooling?
Today, Little Son came home with some drawings he made at preschool, and one is a drawing entitled "Ed, Edd, Eddie," that awful Cartoon Network show that lots of moms I know don`t let their kids watch.
No, he didn`t write the title himself -- he`s 3, and he`s no prodigy. His preschool teacher wrote the title. This means that his preschool teacher now knows I let him watch "Ed, Edd, Eddie."
I am SO busted....

You know, I try to limit that show with my kids, but they actually have a DVD. Shhh... don't tell anybody.
I used to smoke. Maybe I should try wine...
It's me again. Sounds like your day went much like mine. Jen, my one deep dark secret is that I still smoke. Not around the kids of course. I've quit twice for about three years each time and I keep saying I'll quit again.
Maybe when cold weather hits and I don't want to stand out in the freezing cold would be a good time to try it again.
I'm impressed you only need wine. I would something much stronger . . .
