The Imp decided that she could slide by without doing all her homework. Progress reports came home today. Guess what? She can't. It's not like she's failing or anything, but jeez... not doing homework? And it's not like I don't encourage/nag her to complete it. And for the last 4 weeks she has consistently told me that all her homework was done. "Can I go to the movies?" "Is your homework done?" "YES!" Guess I now get to suffer through her being grounded. Nothing earth-shattering...just tiring. I guess, in some ways, it's nice to know she's a normal teenager....actually I think she's better than a normal teenager, but she'd be hard to live with if she were perfect. She'll get her act together. She knew this was coming. Monday night and last night she cuddled up to me on the couch and asked for help with her homework. She knows that the grade isn't near as important as the effort. So she worked hard at demonstrating how diligent she was by even getting assistance on her homework. Smart kids can be very cunning...and if they aren't practiced at it, very transparent.
Spent time in the garden today. Fertilized and turned the bigger bed getting ready for carrots, cucumbers, peppers and beans. Still harvesting great red potatoes. Trying to keep better records this season.
Been spending time on FaceBook connecting with old friends. People I knew in high school...I graduated 28 years ago!!! Guess I'm getting older.
