For one thing, we started on a non-Math day. That's huge and my daughter took that into consideration when she begged to start on Thursday and insisted on 2 weeks off for Christmas break. ;-P Thursday is also a day when I am home and don't have to work, so that helped. Also, and this is the most important thing ... my youngest son had gotten a Gamestop gift card for Christmas and had spent it on-line and the games arrived yesterday morning. I told him that since he had new games, he could have screen time as soon as he finished school. Also, Netflix came, bringing a show that everyone wanted to watch so voila, school done by 2:30 with no whining. I love it when a plan comes together. :-P Something that helped me in making the extra screen time decision was that I knew we were going to the skating rink that night during regular screen time and they would be exercising there, at least a little. One skates, one plays air hockey and one runs around with his friends the whole time.
I think today will go pretty well since Friday is our easiest day.
