Talkin about My Girl.

I don't know if it was the rigorous schedule, her not feeling well because of super-sized tonsils, or that *evil* (I'm kidding, just kidding, really, sort-of joking) public school, but last year J's attitude was really something to contend with...all year long. I see huge changes in her this summer. It's very nice. I feel like I've got my girl back in all her sweetness. She is much better with her brothers, more helpful, (in fact, I've been a busy bee this summer making them all my little slaves with our chore list, they are doing a GREAT job...they are being compensated for their efforts, so I guess technically it's not slave labor) and just generally more enjoyable to be around. Again I find myself thankful for home school, which we have been doing all summer long. It feels just right for us at this time. I believe it is good for each of the children, as well as our family unit as a whole.
Now if I could just get everyone else on board with the Better Behavior and Attitude Plan, we'd be good to go. Are these little yahoos doing better lately? No, not so much.
