Our Island Family Life

Connor was in a good mood yesterday. It was the first day of his new schedule change and he got a lot of work done in his new study block. He got some science done and his teacher was impressed. She is starting to see he has the concepts despite what his other teacher might think. So, fingers crossed on that. He still is not wanting to do any chores. I didn't even ask him to do any yesterday. I had done everything. I did ask for him to toast me and Sofie a bagel because she didn't want the tuna casserole I made for dinner and for some reason the smell of tuna was making my tummy roll. Sometimes it does that even though I love tuna. So I thought having something like a bagel would settle better on my tummy. He never did it and after waiting an hour I finally got mad. I only asked in the first place because I was helping Cade with his homework and didn't want to be distracted. I got the food myself and made him do the dinner dishes instead. It is his least favorite chore. He said he would make me "anything" I wanted instead but I said no. He had his chance to be nice. Dishes. The end. He did them and never complained after that. I think he knew I wasn't pleased.

Working again today. It's finally been somewhat steady. I really need the money. I would feel a little less stress if I could pay the bills this month. Somehow I am supposed to do something for Connor's birthday? I think I will use the food stamps to buy him a case of Ramen. He loves that. Not the healthiest eating but great gaming food...:)
