The time has finally come to rejoice... Winter break is over! Technically speaking, it was supposed to be over last Sunday. Thanks to our lovely blizzard however, Lena got a 3 day extension on her's. Little does she know, they're just going to tack those days on in the end. But what she doesn't know won't hurt her and I'm certainly not going to tell her either.
While I am busy doing the happy dance, she's busy giving me nasty looks. Nevermind the fact that she's been bored for about a week now. The news that there were no more snow days seriously deflated all her hopes and dreams.
School means those dirty words again... Reading Time. I mentioned back in October that she was struggling with reading and I have been a bit of a Nazi about making sure she gets in her reading time ever since. Break however, is just that, a break. I loosened the reigns and let her simply enjoy her time off. She was allowed to stay up late (well, at least until I was ready for bed which isn't really all that late) and I didn't mandate her 30 minutes of nightly book time.
With school literally on the horizon tomorrow, I let her know that she would need to do her reading again starting tonight. She really thought I was kidding about that. When her customary time rolled around the amount of shock and disgust she felt was evident in her voice when she asked if I was truly serious.
Yes ma'am I am... So it's back to the shit list for me. Oh well!
