I don't understand how people can say they just loooove homeschooling.  I hate it.  D will spend hours on one thing - not really doing it,  but butting into other people's business, staring into outer space, and any other thing he can think of to aggravate me.  I can't stay on top of him because I am trying to do school with N as well, and you can't forget about "Princess" C who is always saying she has to go potty, yet refusing to go without me.  And then there is Baby B, who is currently feeling sick and clingy and not sleepy.  I don't know how to get my oldest to do his work.  When I get really mean and start adding more work, he just cries the day away.  HE IS 8!!!!!  ARGH!  C is done on the potty, gotta go crack the whip, again, and again.....
