Isn't homeschooling grand?

Today Gabby has been a blob in a chair -- all day. Almost all day, I managed to pry her up for a trip to the Y. I got my times wrong, though. Lap swim had ended by the time we showed up. Woops.

So a blob in a chair all day with the exception of a failed attempt at exercise. And a brief lunch of macaroni and cheese -- but even at the dinner table she was sort of blob-ish.

So, I guess the chairs have changed but the blob has remained the same.

She CAN'T do her work. She's said it many times, in a quiet voice, in a loud voice, in a moaning voice. She's tried many voices.

I have told Gabby that I am happy to help her if she has a specific question about a specific assignment, and she loses the attitude.

I got a clear response,

"Then I am never going to do any of my work again at all!"

You can guess what voice she used there.
