ahora vamos a contar

it really gets my goat when my kids --who ARE in fact the smartest class in school-- slack off after 8 months of hard first grade work. out of 19 kids, only 8 turned in their homework after i broke it down yesterday afternoon. all kinds of talk about how they need to be responsible for their learning and ready for second grade. EIGHT kids. i'm pulling out all the stops this week... if things don't turn around, i'm going to get desperate.

..also making things less than super-duper: nannies that bring kids to school in the place of their hot dads. or just the one nanny who is taking the place of the hot dad =P no progress on that front, by the way. it's a nice little fantasy that i like to play in my head.
