Day 44: One Week

Of course I don’t know this, but the refrain of one more week was uttered by multiple people in our house this weekend.

One more week of:

Playing professor, principal, and teacherGradingTrying to convince Ezra worksheets are coolEnd-of-school emails School exploding over the kitchenMorning cold snaps (wishful thinking)Jesse missing assignmentsRain (wishful thinking)Convincing myself we can do thisWaking up early to get things going only to sit stumped by the scope of it allWeeds (wishful thinking)Putting off the things I want to do (anything not-a worksheet) because of the things I have to do (worksheets)Math factsA/R quizzes Tommy shouting, “No more school home!”Ezra shouting, “I want a new mom!”Me shouting, “Good luck finding one!”

And so on and so forth.
