School started on Monday. I'm excited because I get a lil bit of peace and quiet during the school hours. At the same time,I'm super busy with all their activities, plus homework, and dinner....yada yada yada....you know the drill.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I ask Moo-Moo, "Do you have homework?"
He replies, "Yes..I have a math page." I realize that I saw another math page sitting near my desk and I ask him, "Is that your math page too?" He said yes, so I told him to get up at the table and do both.
Today I got the kids off to school and was working in my office. I decided to straighten up a bit as I had to go out for a bit. There it was....sitting under the table. The 2 pages of homework. I was MORTIFIED. What the heck is the teacher going to think of my son??? He can't even get him homework in when it's done. We live across the street from the school, so I ran it over.
I walked into the office. "Hi! Yes...its the 3rd day of school and my child didn't bring his homework. Can you put this in Ms. Dobbins box?" The woman in the office is soooo unbelievably sweet. She just giggled and said sure. I told her I'd probably see her again sometime this week and left.
So tonight, I had another meeting to go to. I was trying to have kids do homework while I was making dinner. I wanted it done before I left. "Moo Moo....where's your homework?" He went to go find it. His cousin (who is staying with us this week) comes in and tells me, "He can't find his homework. I think he left it at school" OMG!!!!! Now for sure the teacher is going to think this kid is a problem!!!! I was so annoyed I told him, "Moo Moo...you get in there and write 10x, 'I will not forget my homework at school!'" I'll just attach a lil note next to his sentences letting the teacher know I'm taking proper steps, and know what is going on!
Moo Moo came out after a while with his sentences in his hand. He handed them to me. I looked at them. "Moo Moo.....did somebody help you write these?"
He replies, "Yes mom, I wrote the first half, and my cousin wrote the second half".
Ugh!!! I give up!!!
You're such a crack-up. I love you so much and thanks for making me laugh!
