Homework Blows

I apologize for the lack of posts lately. I know 1 or 2 of you really look forward to them ;) The kids started school again and as much as I love the structure of it all I HATE the homework. Jake, the oldest,...forget it, he's in 7th grade and he might as well be a foreign exchange student from somewhere I have no idea about.  I understand none of it - you're on your own kid - good luck! Kamryn, the youngest, is all over it as she's in 1st grade and really how hard can writing 5 words down, cutting and pasting and practicing spelling words that consist of "at" & "bat" be?

It's Zakary who makes me want to have Calgon take me more than away between the hours of 3:45 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. The words/terms "nope, not happening, I can't, I don't care, who cares, Fun Friday sucks anyways, I don't know, Dad's way better he doesn't make me do homework, you're a monster for making me do this" are frequent fliers. He hates sitting down to do it. It's not that he can't, he just outright refuses. He does not care if he loses his TV privilege/video games or his prized possessions like legos or action figures. He could careless if I ran over his dog if that meant he didn't have to do his homework. He usually ends up getting most of it done but it is a struggle that I will be happy to be rid of. I can't wait until he's in 7th grade and I can throw him into the lion's den because mama just doesn't understand it. 

As far as my weight loss efforts go...they might as well be based at a 7th grade level as well because I definitely don't understand what my problem is. I mean-I know what my problem is. I am not consistent, I'm reading about 5 different theories right now and applying absolutely none of them AND I haven't been to the gym in quite some time. Like I've mentioned before it's not like I sit around and eat burritos all day (well I did today-I needed some comfort and boy did that meaty bean delight do the trick). Anyhow, I don't do that very often but I don't eat 5-6 small meals a day like I should. I either starve myself or I eat one big meal and move on. Oh yes, and then there's sometimes the red liquid diet dinner. So yet again, I am going to try to get better about that - tomorrow. 

86 Big Mama's Advice:

If you plan on having kids make sure you are capable of retaining more than a 7th grade education so you can get a good job and pay for a full-time tutor.

Note to self:

Before you consider becoming a street walker to afford a tutor for your children hit the gym and stay consistent with your meal plans so that people will actually pay you-not vice versa.
