NO MORE MONDAYS

I have decided at our house there will be no more Mondays. On Mondays, Andrew chooses to disobey more than any other day, he refusing to do his work, and therefore I am having to discipline more on Mondays.
Today, Hannah-Faith decided to follow in her big brother's footsteps. She decided to dump all the colored pencils out on the table, then take her hand and push them onto the floor. She was very persistent in the fact that she was not going to pick them up. Therefore, she was sent to time-out. When her time was up, she still refused to pick up the pencils. Of course, she was sent back to time-out. Finally, after the third time she agreed to pick them up. During all of this, there was lots of "No's" and screams. In addition to this display of emotion today, Andrew decides to destroy his work from Friday. So, you guessed it, he had to redo his work. Sierra, is not exempt from Monday misbehavior either. She thinks because all of this is going on that she needs to help me parent. Oh yes, she has to step in and explain things to Andrew and then help Hannah. Of course, I let her know that she needed to sit down and complete her work unless she would like more work to do. It took me an hour and a half to get dinner in the crock pot this morning. We have not gotten any of our books read, and I am not even going to think about getting Math done today. Today, I am having lessons in developing Character.
So as you can see, we do not need Monday's at our house. The rest of the week seems to go fine. There are some misbehavior's and some disobedience but nothing like what happens on Mondays. Because I can not quit this job that God gave me, I am choosing to have 2 Tuesdays at our house. Yes, from now on Mondays are not allowed.

"Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up."
Galatians 6:9 (My encouragement from The Lord.)

If you seem to have Mondays like ours, don't give up. Hang in there. Tuesday is just around the corner.
