Long Division Makes Me Dirty

So, One has made it far enough in math to have reached long division. This might be exciting except for the fact that it has apparently made her forget all previous math skills. On the other hand, she has learned some fun new four letter words from me to make up for the loss of all those wonderful math facts! Now, one would think that division would be fairly easy if you know all of your math facts, and I suppose it would be. But, if you have forgotten all of what you have learned previously it will take somewhere in the range of three to ten hours to complete one math assignment. Which leaves me sitting right beside the forgetful nine year old for hours at a time. So, between math with One and nursing Four my shower time has vanished into thin air. I hope at some point to be able to shower at least every other day. But, until that day comes I'll make sure to be stocked up on deodorant!
