This morning has gone remarkably smooth. Having a plan in place to deal with DS9 mouth is working better than I had hoped. My plan is dead drop simple so the implementation is easy - When he says something he shouldn't then I ask - Is that something you should be saying? He thinks about it and answers No. I ask him Why? And he tells me why it was wrong. Then I tell him - Now try again. This time talk in a respectful tone and chose your words wisely.
The *carrot* I used today to get DS9 focused on Math lessons was painting a tabletop when he finished the problems with a score above 90% correct. He loves to paint so he was eager to get the problems finished and done right. While he was doing his Math lesson I did the prep on the table to get it ready to paint. It was fun to see him excited AND to get something accomplished. The table top looks much better now with a fresh coat of paint.

to get through just the "regular" week desk day for the church, still unable to check off any monthly work, which looms large this month. I make a different deposit for anything non-contribution so there's no confusion. We had to have several reimbursements because of the one same __ 
__ credit card continuing to be used in poor decision making. (Yes, I had encouraged the idea of cancelling the card, to the best of my ability when that came up, but the resolve from other directions failed, so we're still stuck with it.) One reimbursement came in in cash and coin without an explanation written on the envelope, so I had to chase that info down. Another was brought here to the house - what if it hadn't been convenient for me to stay home to receive it. 
, dd older will be here later tonight.
