Well.
Last night Zane said, "Why is there still a Christmas Tree in our living room?"
"Because I haven't taken it down yet."
"Because you're lazy."
"Oh really?
"Yep."
"You really think that?"
"Yes. The only work you do is on the computer with your fingers."
"Oh. Really now."
"Daddy does physical work all day long. You just use your fingers. That's lazy."
"I see. So you don't think my brain is engaged when I'm writing my stories?"
"Okay. You use your brain and your fingers. How hard is that?"

Guess who's scrapping the current homeschool schedule? And guess who will be writing short stories for, oh, maybe a month?
And Zane will quite possibly have to stick by my side for a week and do all the things he doesn't see me doing. Laundry. Dishes. Toilets. Sinks. Cooking.
Oh the joys of homeschooling!
To be fair, he's got a point about the Christmas tree. I don't think it's laziness as much as avoidance. I just don't want to do it so I keep doing other stuff. I don't want to do it because it is so very tall and I am so very short. It is overwhelming and I have been letting that eat away at me.

Be sure to share his stories with us.
Housekeeping is for the birds, lol! Umm, are there any birdnests in that Christmas tree? ;)
I was gonna say...the tree is up because of the vertically challenged issue...not because of laziness! LOL The things kids say LOL Maybe your un-vertically challenged friend can come help you this week :)
What a great story! Maybe if we all rally in spirit, it will give you motivation to get that tree down. Thanks for sharing. Visiting from Anna's blog. Great green shots from both you and Zane!
Tell Zane hello and I cannot wait to see his next image! ;) I homeschooled as well when we lives overseas but now mine are all enrolled! It is nice to make a learning opportunity out of something like this!
Take care you two!
