"How many times have I asked you about what you were doing? How many times did I ask if you were getting things typed? What did you do with all the computer lab time you had?"
These were just a few questions that I asked (some of the rather loudly) this evening. I ask her every day what her homework is. Today she said that the social studies homework was to finish her science fair project since it was due on Wednesday. I asked her if she had done any more typing for her poster, she said no, that what she had done was all that she needed to do.
I said that, no, it wasn't what needed to be done, and that she was going to have to work on it tonight. When we got home we had a quick bite to eat and then started on the typing for the project. We just finished the typing. It is NOT going to be pleasant to wake her up tomorrow!
I know that science fair projects are a fact of life for the next several years but I really need her to start using that calendar the school gives her, and to do the little bits that work up to the final project! Too many tears tonight. (Her and I.)
