We have elections tomorrow, and we've been "thanked" for our political support by being placed on every calling list in the Western Hemisphere. (OK, so I exaggerate. A little.) Although we are on the national do-not-call list, that service does not block political calls, even the recorded ones placed by auto-dialers.
This makes homeschooling very difficult, especially for a child like Samuel who is very easily distracted. In a typical school day, we alternate between periods of work and play. The boys play for a while, then I gather them back in for our next lesson. Today, we had just settled down for reading -- I finally had their attention and involvement in the story -- and the phone rings. This has been going on for weeks.
Arg!
