Slacker Shelby returns

Shelby's teacher wrote a note in her assignment pad today that Shelby had not done ANY of her classwork today. So we had to do it all this evening. I really don't like it when she does that, as it throws off the whole night.

I planned to take the kids to the library because Darby needed to get a book for her next book report, and she needed to get a research book for her science project. I was going to have Shelby pick a book as well, but instead I had her take her school bag in so she could do homework.

It doesn't help that she operates devoid of haste. Because of her slowness, I didn't want to have her pack up all of her school stuff, only to unpack it at the house and start again, so we stayed at the library until she was done with her work. However, that took longer than I would have figured, so there was some backfire factor. We ended up being at the library almost two and a half hours. While Shelby did homework, not only did Darby find some books she needed, but she also got all of her homework done and read two or three books while waiting for her sister to finish.

It was after nine again by the time we got home, and we still had to deal with baths, so we got to bed fairly late again, as with Monday.
