It was not entirely troublesome for me today. The kids were well behaved for the most part. There is still the issue of getting them to sit all the way down in their seats and not put their feet up on the couches and stools. For a while I thought about giving up because sitting them down has not been working, but I am not a quitter so that will not happen. I had to sit one of the kids down for using a curse word. He did not actually say the word, but I knew he meant to use it. The kids do not seem to understand or they do not care when we tell then that doing that is actually the same as using a curse word. We try and explain it to them in the best ways we know how.

I had "1" kid for Power Hour today. Hooray! That was better than nothing. He needed help on his math homework. I knew how to do most of the problems on his worksheet, but there were a few that I even got stuck on. It is basic math, but I have not done some of it in years. If it were algebra, I could probably fly right through it. I actually had to go bring another kid in there to help him on the problems that I could not solve. Even though I tried my hardest to help him, I still am not perfect at it. Hopefully I can do better at it next time.
