Tuesday was family dinner night. Mom's fixing waffles, the kids really love them! When Mr Z gets here, we sit down to do homework. Not that I have to do much - he's a bright kid! With the "new math", I'm not sure all his papers are exactly correct. Back in my day, we memorized addition and multiplication tables. Not much need for the strange counting they do, especially when it comes to double digit math!
I was an independent kid, I don't remember having help with homework. My son was ADD at school but was always able to do homework quickly at home.
Has homework changed that much in the past 50 years?? Are they learning more math at a younger age? Tougher spelling words? I'm not sure I know.
With those thoughts aside, I am still dealing with mom and her pains that seem to travel. While I am certain that part of it is her cutting her anxiety pills in half, we are moving along with the doctor recommendations of a CT scan this weekend. A good friend who has known her for years suggested that her pains stem from loneliness.
Maybe I should spend a couple of nights. Which doesn't excite me in the least.
In the meantime, PF is where I get away. Skipped it today so I could wash the car and clean the back patio .... its almost cool enough to sit out there again!
