How do you moms (and dads, but it seems to be a mom thing with my friends) a) get your kids to do the homework and b) not explodiate with rage.
Noah does some at after care and some at home. Grace does all her homework at home. I just basically sit at the table with them and tell them what to write and when. there are high fives with each page finished.
Noah does not like homework at all. Yet we have a DK math for first grader's book and he has done, oh, maybe 80 pages of it in the past week. And then he decided to make his own. So I think we might say, "If you finish your homework then you can work on your math book." Grace is not so motivated nor as able to work independently.
I bought 3 yards of fabrics to make hospital gowns for Grace. If we have to continue to go to the hospital, then she will at least get to wear what she likes and have stylish fabrics -- she chose rockets for one, owls for a second and then a cool remnant that has woodcuts on it.
I know I mentioned earlier that a co-worker was giving me some venison. OMG...some? A huge cooler FULL. There are breakfast sausages, game salami, fillet mignon, bunches of steaks, and I've only dug through the top couple of layers.
I tried to offer him home made cookies or something in return (before I realized how much there was) and he said that it was thanks for all the help I've given him all year. I prepare one report a month for him...takes about 5-10 minutes a month.

DUDE. That's awesome! You won't need to buy meat all year!
I keep trying to get my coworkers in AK to send me salmon or crab, or give it to me when I'm there, but so far no luck.
On it's own, the word Neveah is kind of pretty, sounds exotic, and not too bizarre to spell. Knowing someone said "I know! Heaven spelled backwards and wrong!" makes it annoying.
I'm probably going to need advice on how to cook some of this stuff.
