Home. I should be doing chores right now, but I am not. I still have to clean the kids' bathroom and wipe down all the doors. Also, I am supposed to help Z with his math lesson on counting money. He is having a hard time understanding to give change. Maybe I should just concentrate on counting the money first.

The kids are doing OK with the material for their home schooling. But what makes it difficult for them as well is me is their difficulty in concentrating on the lesson at hand. They fight with each other and their two younger sisters. They really hate to do any writing. They know how to write, but when they see they have to write sentences, the moan and groan about it taking up time they could be doing other things. I don't know how to break them of this but it is keeping them from progressing like they should. I am still having trouble organizing the day to get the most out of their short attention span. Right now their eyes are glued to the TV watching iCarly on Nickelodeon (Nick) channel. I wish they could pay that much attention to their lessons.
