Making It Up

I have a lesson schedule planned for school to help my older boys get "caught up" and to keep us moving. Last week I lacked the drive to push my older boys to accomplish all of their scheduled lessons. So now each day of this weekend they will work on it to get caught up. Part of me feels bad, but another part feels like if I slack off on the dishes or laundry, I have to work harder to get us caught up (and give us some clothes to wear-grin). So they should have to understand that if they slack off on their work then they have to work to catch up. So even though they are sad that they have lost their weekend, they are hopefully learning to get their work done when it is due.
