... and so "it" begins

... and so "it" begins!  I am referring to the word that makes the entire Morton household convulse, shiver, roll their eyes and want to curl up in the fetal position until June.  I honestly do not even know if I can type the word or even think it, I am scared as to what can and WILL happen.  I get a pit in my stomach when I have to say the dreaded word when it is that time of day because I know what it coming.  My blood pressure rises, my chest tightens and I am sure my eyes turn red and horns pop out of my head.  

H O M E W O R K people... I am talking about HOMEWORK!  It is the SECOND week of school and we have had a SERIOUS meltdown.  

Which one this time you ask?  NOT Luke!  He sat down and did all his with not one problem.  Yes, I am pretty sure HELL JUST FROZE OVER!  As Luke is doing his homework Jonah sits across the table saying how stupid homework is and that it does not make sense and WHY DO WE HAVE TO DO HOMEWORK... bla bla bla.  He begins with the "I don't get it's" and I tell him that I will help him.  Lord knows mom is sitting here with her phone ready to Google because I do not have a CLUE what they question is asking.  

The tears start flowing and the banging of the pencil on the paper and then he throws out the words, "3rd grade is so easy Luke, that is an easy word, you don't know how to do math".  REALLY?  As you are sitting crying across the table from little brother who is having no problems.  I believe you were there last year and check older blog posts and I am sure you will see that you were STILL CRYING back then too dude!  

I finally walk away calmly ( I know, I was TOTALLY shocked too, hell REfreezing)!  I tell Justin that I am done and will not help him anymore.  

I hear Jonah crying... Justin goes in to help him and I hear him laying into him telling him that is NOT acceptable and he will be writing a note to apologize.  WHAT IS GOING ON IN THERE???  I am dying to know but stay away.  

So, THIS is what was happening!  (see photo below)

Pray for The Mortons we will be living this DAILY for the next 9 months, minus Spring Break, Christmas and Thanksgiving Break.
