It's Only The Second grade!!!!

In the last post I talked about our mornings but our nights are unreal!!
This is an example. Dom gets home at 11:00. Addison gets home at 4:00. Shanna gets off at 5:00. I usually start cooking around 5:00. Addison gets free time for about 1 hour, then time for homework. She doesn't want to but we get started about 6:00. Shanna Addison and Dom start homework while I finish cooking. Dom practices writing his name while Addison starts her 4 pages of math. She is doing minus and plus (2 colums) time, and counting money. Then break to eat. Then time to start spelling and reading. While Addison is reading to me Shanna gives Dom his bath. She has different things to do each night. We start with the spelling words, then reading the stories, then a 1 minute time test. How many words can you read in 1 min?? She is amazing at this, to pass to third grade you have to read 90 words per min. She is reading at least 200 or more, Nana has to brag. Then 15 min of reading. Tonight was writing 5 silly sentences using your spelling words. We are looking at 1:30 mins at least of homework and this is just the second grade!!!! Then, she has to have a bath and be in bed by 8:00 for down time and lights out at 8:30. This is every night. I give a hugh thumbs up to all the mothers who have more than 2 and who have no help. I don't know how they do it?? And I feel so sorry for all the little ones out there that don't have anyone to help them. Wow, what is 3rd grade going to be like.
