  ok,  so mean mamma just wants to say. thanks. to acw and scw for all of those years that i did not have to monitor your homework progress,
 worry about spelling words,  or math drills,  or spend 45 minutes cajoling either one of you to write more than 1 sentence on what labor day means to you that did not come straight out of the dictionary.  tonight,  i have spent the last 2 hours working through the spelling word thing-  trying to get from 'i already know my words' to 'i don't want to do the words' to 'i will never have to know these words ' to numerous time outs,
 an almost missed supper,  and finally an effeciently spent 10 minutes actually writing down words that mean mamma said aloud ( yes,  aloud was a word tonight,  as well as allowed,  as in cayle is not allowed to drive a car.  so frustrating when your daughter cannot be just like your sons. again,  guys,  thanks so very much.
