Here is my reality:
(taken from a text conversation with my husband this very morning)

Me: N's first attempt at handwriting today. Pray for his teacher



Now his elbows itch. Mercy.

Dr. N, this text is notice of my resignation as head instructor, effective immediately. I am no longer able to meet the high educational standards of the N Family Academy. Furthermore, with "satisfaction" being my only income I find myself woefully impoverished today. I give you hearty encouragement as you search out my replacement.

My Man: Resignation denied. Not accepted. If at first you don't succeed. . . .pray more.

No, no, I quit.

One assignment in a whole curriculum does not constitute failure.

He had about 15 minutes worth of worksheets today. 2 hours later, we're still not done. Don't think we're going to make it to the store today.

Failing to go to the grocery store is different issue. Perhaps the ad should be for a housekeeper not a teacher. :)

The punk just aced reading an analog clock, adding, subtracting & spelling. 100% on all of them. He makes me insane and happy all at the same time. 

I would absolutely accept a housekeeper. Speaking of which, when are you coming home? 

Eventually

Was it T's elbow itching?

No, N's. 

Hmmm

He was just stalling.

He also said his fingers hurt after about 2 minutes of handwriting. The dawdle king has identified his least favorite subject & does what he can to avoid it.

Sly

N just asked for a cat. When I said no he asked for a dog. When I told him no he said, "How about an elephant?" I said we would see.

But if we get an elephant we might inherit a nest of birds. 
*Please see There's a Bird on Your Head by Mo Willems to understand this reference*

LOL!


And now, I'm going to take a nap. . .
