We had one of "those" mornings. I overslept. I found that Ben has been using a tote full of stuffed animals as a toilet during the night (for who knows how long, it's not the first pee puddle I've cleaned up in there). Drew spilled a full cup of oj all over the kitchen. Sam is teething and MISERABLE. After scrubbing the kitchen floor, clearing the closet and mopping, making a keep and toss pile of stuffed animals, endless loads through the washer to clean the precious keep pile, and trying to salvage any sanity left, we finally got around to starting school at 11:15. Thankful for yet another "review" day in our curriculum, it went quickly and we were having lunch by 1.
We started
Accountable Kids this week, and that is what saved me. The kids were able to get through their morning and early afternoon routine with no intervention from me. Just a brief reminder here or there to be sure they were done before running off to play. Ben came and helped me with the laundry and mopping in his closet. Drew kept Sam occupied. We just got through a chunk of the afternoon being quiet time, and I regrouped. Ready to start our day over.
Here's the boys' daily board from AK. They love it, we love it, and it sure has made life easier.
