Entry FeedSon One is in grade one. Every Monday he brings home a homework book, and every Friday morning he takes it back complete and has a spelling test.
I was thrown a little this week, as there was no school on Monday. Last night I tried to have him sit down to do his homework for this morning, but he couldn't find it.
A few weeks ago he lost his school library book (still not found). We have thousands of books in our house - I love books, the kids love books. The phrase needle in a haystack is fitting here. Losing things really bothers me, maybe neurotically so. I am not sure why, but it drives me crazy thinking that something is there and I just can't find it. Even worse is losing something outside the house and knowing that it is gone for good.
Still annoyed with Son One about the lost library book, I had him spend 45 minutes looking for his homework book. The kitchen (the usual place for homework), his bedroom, the living room, even the minivan. No luck. I probably snapped at him 5 times about how upset it makes me when he loses things.
He tried, he really did, but no homework book. Then he came to me and said, "Mommy, I don't think that we had homework this week."
I called another mom in his class, who also thought that there was no homework this week.
Hmmmm..... 45 minutes wasted looking for homework that didn't exist - and he STILL didn't find his library book!
