Fail

It's one of those days or hey even one of those weeks. We have done school for hours on end and no that isnt an issue but the fighting to get things done is the issue. He is understanding things fine but he doesnt want to do any of it. Today he was writing his spelling words four times each and it took almost 2 hours cause he procrastinated the whole way through it. Meanwhile here is MY fail. On Monday during school Rowdy started going to the bathroom A LOT during school. I just assumed he was going and doing his business although sometimes he would take forever to poop. Anyways I would yell (Yes, yell. That's the kind of person I am when at my wits end) "Hurry up and POOP!" So this goes on for Monday, Tuesday and then started the day off with doing it too. Let me lay the scene out for you for today. I tell him that he has to write each spelling word 4 times each. He whines no, not 4 times. I say ok how about 6 times each. He says ok fine 4 times each is what I'll do. So then after about 30 minutes of writing a few of the words he goes into the bathroom. Meanwhile I am doing this and that and I yell hurry up and poop. So he reappears about 10 minutes after my yelling. So then he works on the words some more and about another 30 minutes go by and off to the bathroom he goes. Well this time I decided to see what the deal was instead of yelling at him. Well guess what I see when I walk into the bathroom. My little boy sitting on the pot playing his Nintendo DS game. Plugged in and charging so conveniently while he "Poops". Well I grew up with the phrase(I will clean it up) "Poop or get off the pot" Well I explained that phrase to my beloved little boy today. I also took the DS away for weekdays and it can only be played on the weekends and NEVER to be played in the bathroom nor charged in the bathroom. Really why did it take me to Wednesday to figure this out? I am so slow! The crazy kid has a weird stomach and so I really thought he was pooping. So mind you when I discovered he was playing his DS my Mom walked in the house and got to witness the whole scene. I was really close to throwing the DS away. I was so peeved about it. Happy School week here at the Lemley's.

 I wonder if anyone else has these crazy shenanigans going on at their homeschool?
