A New Countdown?

For the last NINE weeks of homeschooling, I had a ticker on my sidebar.

I couldn’t WAIT for summer.

Now?

I’m already considering a ticker to count down the remainder of summer.

I know!

School work was no fun….. but I’m not sure constant bickering between my children is an improvement.

Let’s see what God’s Word has for us today:

“Fools fold their idle hands,
leading them to ruin.”

Ecclesiastes 4:5

Boredom leads to ruin.

I came down hard on them today, told them this was their last warning for the rest of the summer.  I don’t care WHO starts it, both of them will reap the consequences of participating in a fight…. indeed, without any additional “warnings”.

Warnings are over-rated.  They are the equivalent of “counting”.

“You have three chances to cross me.  One down, two to go…..”

And I get to wait to be crossed again before I’ll do anything about it?? What’s with that?!

I’m NOT spending the rest of my summer that way, thank you.

It’s all training, right?  Habits can be broken……

Now if I can just keep my own crap together and not lose it every time I’m frustrated with them………

Habits can be broken……..

Right??
