School is winding down for the year, and we are rather frantically working to make sure we've completed all the work required.
And by "we," I mean me, of course.
There's no frantic in my boys. There's a lot of eye rolling and Dear-God-WhyAren't-We-Finished-Already-ing. If they could just figure out a way to harness all the energy required to keep up the constant sighing, we'd be done already.
One of my children is the most amazing procrastinator I've ever seen in all my life. Please bear in mind that I'm an outstanding procrastinator. World-renowned, even.
He tops me by a mile.
One day last week, he spent five and a half hours doing his schoolwork.
And completed nothing.
NOTHING.
Then, in one three hour session on Friday, completed five science lessons, a vocabulary test and a grammar lesson.
Crazy-making, is what that is.
The other one just gets done what needs getting done. He chips away at it every day, little by little, and has actually completed the required lessons in all but one subject, two weeks ahead of schedule.
We've always said that if we could combine them, they'd make one amazing super-human.
