After spending most of the day in bed and not feeling very chipper, I was not looking forward to an afternoon of homework with the kids. But with the afternoon ritual of picking up Hattie and Sam at 3pm, Hattie starting her homework first, Sam taking his turn on the computer for 1 hour then he will start his homework at 4:30, I was gearing up for a "wonderful" afternoon of GRUMPIES coming from the boychild! Well, when it was time for Sam to start homework there was a little resistance who wouldn't when there is "TONS" of it, MOM! heheee Then, Peter comes POUNCING in the door around 4:45 off the bus! He was such in a good mood despite someone picking on him all day! He asks Sam what he was doing for homework and if he needed any help! Whoa.... I am thinking... did I hear this right? Sam then responded, "I don't need help right now, but I will in a minute, I have history and it is about the Civil War!" Peter jumped on that one! Peter grabbed the book and sat down read the chapter and then proceeded to help Sam with his Math so they could get to the History faster! I was then, able to start and finish cooking dinner, take a LONG DISTANCE phonecall and get dinner on the table the whole time they did all this homework and study for science, too! They whole time, I was in TEARS!!!! I was even able to snap this picture!!! I just HAD to capture this moment, I didn't think ANYONE Would BELIEVE ME!!! It was AMAZING! There wasn't even any fighting or raised voices either! I was on CLOUD NINE!!!!! STILL AM!!! This was the best ending for the day!!! THANK YOU, JESUS!!!
