The unequivocally good thing about today is that it is close
to over. There was definitely yelling
and screaming and crying today. At the
same time some math was learned and some English homework was done too. Alla cooked delicious things and cleaned the
aftereffects of the cooking. And cleaned
most of the downstairs, in fact. My
achievements are much more modest: kids learned material that I planned to go
over yesterday and, after several iterations, completed the assigned
homework. Somewhere along the way Zev
was given (and, hopefully, learned) the lesson about not throwing notebook in
frustration when asked to redo whatever part of homework he got wrong. And then about not escalating and not talking
back to his parents. Somewhere along the
way the shouting started. On the plus
side we made it through most of two episodes of Mythbusters and through all of
the homework and the boys played some music, and we had a delicious dinner (thank
you, wife!).
Oh, by the way, this was a workday and both Alla and I
attended meetings and got work done.
If you will excuse me, I think my wife needs wine and I definitely
need scotch.
