Kids and Homework- Oh My!

I feel like I'm back in school and I have no idea WTF to do!  My 5th grader is bringing home math homework that looks foreign to us.  My husband and I both look at each other as to see who can help our child but we both know we can't.  It's straight crazy!  I'm thinking in the 5th grade either I was flirting with the boys too much or I actually got it back then.

Last night it was my turn to help with homework so I looked at the page and just went blank!  I looked at the examples and them proceeded to do it, hoping I was right.  After going through the steps with my son at least 5 times he still didn't GET IT.  My patience by this time was gone because I feel he was using me to do his homework.  I gave him to his dad at this point, using the "I need to make dinner" excuse.  Dad didn't even understand so the child was left doing it on his own which ended up being 3 hours of "I don't understand" fit. He wouldn't even give it a try- he just wanted US to do it for him and I wasn't falling for it again!  We tried to reason with him and I think he was super tired but just wouldn't calm down.  At that point (it's 8:30pm  and we have been doing this since 4:30) I gave up and told him I would wake him up early so we can tackle it then.

Why is homework so STRESSFUL!!!!

Gojo Purell Review- 2 Thumbs Up!

I was pretty excited when I got the box full of GoJo Purell products to review.  I know my kids don't always wash their hands when they use the bathroom because I usually have to tell them to go back in to do it.  Also I'm always cleaning the bathroom and kitchen to make sure we are not spreading germs everywhere.

Having these products around the house is a blessing during this flu season.  I put the Gojo Purell Hand Sanitizer/Dispenser AD-7 in the bathroom (it wouldn't stick to our wall so it's on the counter).  It was very easy to set up and put the soap in so I loved that.  The kids are washing their hands more I hope, I haven't had to say too much lately.    My lil girl took off with the pink Gojo Sample of Purell Jelly Wrap and has it on her backpack now- wonderful spot! She loves the jelly wrap because she says it's not going anywhere that is how strong it is!  The Purell Pal is in our kitchen and I love this cute thing.

As a mom I feel every house should have these items to help stop the spread of GERMS!  Dad is the only one in the house that got really sick so we think we are doing pretty good fighting this flu from getting the best of us.  Dad need to use this more LOL!
