Wow! Too busy to blog I guess!

I just logged into my my blog and realized I had not posted anything since we began our school year!  Crazy!  Well, we have been doing good.  I was nervous to start with adding a high schooler to the mix this year, but he is doing so well working on his own, its not THAT much different. My 3rd grader I noticed was getting bundled in with having do everything the 6th grader was doing when I realized after a couple of really bad weeks that it was just WAY too much to expect of him and as I am easing up on the reigns for him a bit I now am getting complaining from the 6th grader who now feels affronted that he is doing less than her.  :)  A mother can never win.  But that is okay, I am glad that I realized what was going on before my 3rd grader ended up in too much trouble with his attitude, now that I am scheduling his day more to his level, we are getting along great!  Amazing how having unrealistic expectations on a child can change them into disrespectful, unmindful, attitude(y) children. And when your expectations become realistic once more, they are like this little angel that you are so thrilled at having found once more.  We have been going through tweaking this week as you can tell and I must say I am loving the atmosphere now.  What kind of tweaking have some of you undergone already this year?
