Not every moment needs to be teachable

Some days . . .

Today was one of those days.  The kind where you just sit back and think, "what was I thinking?"  Fussy kids.  Disaster called House.  Sick Dog.  Just a horrible day.

So Darling Daughter 1 decides that she doesn't want to do ANY school ANY more EVER.  She just wants to play and have me take care of her for the rest of her life.  Her school work is too hard (her readers are 3 levels below her ability).  She decides she can't read her book because it is too hard.  So she sets it down and goes to the book shelf and picks out . . . Illustrated Classics of  . . . FRANKENSTEIN.  She can't read The Long Way Westward, but she can read Frankenstein.  So what I am I missing???? 

Well, tomorrow is another day.  May be we'll try some new stuff.

I am stuggling with the same thing here. Not just in reading but in all the subjects. I wish there was an easy answer to make this problem go away but I am afraid there might not be one.
