It has been a struggle the past two weeks handling my grade school kids in the late afternoon and early evening hours.
Being outside to play is far more attractive than the routine necessary:
piano practice,
homework (thank goodness there's not much lately),
dinner (6:30 is about as late as I'll let it go),
shower (needs to be underway by about 7pm),
reading assignment (*sigh* if there is any time left)
What a dichotomy! Why am I'm nagging them to get outside for fresh air on weekend days, and nagging them to get inside on weekdays.
Will someone please send the Spring Fever Relief medicine over here?
Long Days + School Week = Disruption
