OK--Who Guessed 23 Days?

I know there were votes for 3 days and 2 weeks, but the winner of the bet on how long I'd last as a stay-at-home mom is 23 days. To be fair, it's not the stay-at-home mom thing that I'm fully and completely done with--it's the home schooling mom thing. It sucks. How did I manage to produce such disrespectful kids? Neither of them could make it through any of the six classes today without getting out of line. Greta I've gotten more used to--she really is too little for regular school. It was shocking to me at first that she could not focus on math for a 30 minute class, but it's just her age. Emery I expect more from. Though the end is in sight--Emery will start Nov 3 at Nelson Mandela, and we have successfully obtained our residency permit today, so Greta's application can now move forward--I don't know how I'll make it through tomorrow. Guess I'll have to figure it out--Dan is going to Kiev again next week.

Home schooling two kids in a foreign country? I think 23 days is quite unbelievable. I could NEVER do it. What's really going to happen if you let them goof off for two weeks? Really? Especially when the highlight of your outings are things like mineral rooms...
