Mom, school is important too...

We moved + homeschooling + Chris out of town = disastrously messy house.

Disastrously messy house + visiting teachers coming over = frenzied cleaning morning.

Frenzied cleaning morning = kids doing chores instead of school work = following conversation...

Me: Dana, have you finished putting away the clothes yet?

Dana: No, not yet.

Me: Please hurry and get that done.

Dana: Mom, am I going to do school today?

Me: Yes, but later, right now we need to get chores done.

Dana: Mom, school is really important.

Me: Yes it is. So is keeping your room clean. Get to work.

Apparently Dana doesn't think I'm prioritizing properly.
