It’s Monday, and the kid is off for the week. His dad and I got together and decided to lift the grounding/video game ban because I personally will go insane if he has nothing to do but sit around and read books and expect me to entertain him for the whole week. On a good point, the two weeks of no fun appears to have made an impression as his room is clean, not just clean by picking things up but clean to the point that I’m not afraid of my parents coming this weekend to visit clean. He is also sitting on a 95 in math so far this period and the other grades are showing a bit of improvement as well. Now to see if I can live through a week of Smash Bros. and Halo.
