Homework time

Every week I get a homework packet with five assignments plus a reading log. I always start the week with the quick and easy work, like math problems or marking up sentences. Then I skip a few days, procrastinate, beg mommy to let me do it later, and finally sit down on Sunday to do my longer writing assignments. Twice I've actually had to do the work on Monday before the school bus. There are just so many other things I'd rather do. Why can't my homework be playing NFL football on the iPad for 6 hours?
