We started slow. I made hm wonder what was coming until it was time for the bus stop to start filling with kids.

5:00am- GET UP!

8:45am- Took trash bag & picked up all of front yard...about 3/4 of an acre. Just before the bus came, I had him walk the roadside across from the bus stop and pick up all the crap drivers throw out. I thought the audience would put some memory on it, especially since the little girl he "likes" was right in the front row.

9:30am- Our house is all ceramic tile, he swept every room to inspection. Cleaned his room & then the most fun I had all day....He was privileged enough to clean the toilet top to bottom that he shares with his 4 year old sister and 6 year old brother. When he finally passed inspection, he walked out of the bathroom and muttered..."I am never getting kicked off the bus again".....

10:30am- Started writing sentences, 250 times, I will obey the rules on the bus. then his full name. He had to do 50 of them if he wanted lunch.

11:45am- Lunch.

12:00-1:00pm- Rest in room.

1:00-3:00pm- Mopped entire house to inspection

I got sucked into a crisis with my other boy. We will continue tomorrow.

No one said it would be like rolling in freakin' rose pedals.....and it just keeps stretching what I thought were my limits.

Parenting, what a deal. After 2 behavior referrals for acting out on the bus earlier this week, my oldest boy received the 3rd this morning. He is suspended from the bus for the next 3 school days. I was informed this afternoon. Alternative transportation is not an option. So my academy is opened starting first thing in the morning. He was restricted to his room from the time he came home till bed, except for supper and the restroom.

The school is sending the next 3 days of school work home with my other boy tomorrow. So till he gets home, I get to use "creative discipline".

I will post reports throughout the next 3 school days. This should be an interesting ride.
