Hi everyone,<\/p>\n

Hope you are having a great weekend. My boys are finishing up their spring break this weekend, and I am ready for them to go back to school. We had a nice quality time with family this week, but too much of staying home together is sometimes no good. They are ready to go back to their routine of school and sports. I can’t wait until Monday when we are all back to our busy schedule. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

One of the things I had to remind them was their homework! Of course they had procrastinated to work on them until now, so they are now struggling to finish them by Sunday night. I knew this was going to happen, but why again? Seems like this has been the pattern that has been happening to my boys, which I don’t like it at all.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So, here are some of the useful expressions for a situation like above.<\/p>\n

As I was complaining to my boys about how much they had procrastinated on their homework, I realized that I also procrastinated on working my blog article. \ud83d\ude41 I am just as guilty as them.
