This past week was the 2nd week at home for the kids/me. It was WAY easier than last week because it's technically their Spring Break, so I didn't try to force any school work on them. And life was good! It was a bit Groundhog Day-ish, tho....every day is the same: we wake up, come downstairs, work, chat, close up the laptop for the night, and then have family time. There's nothing interesting to break it up...but, as long as we're all healthy, that's what matters.
We received all of the info that we need so the kids can start their Distance Learning this coming Monday. I'm impressed that the schools have been able to pull this together and come up with a comprehensive plan on how this is all going to work. G has a video conference call on Monday morning with his class/teacher, so that should be super fun to observe, lol. We now know that they won't go back to school until May 5, at the very earliest. I've heard that it's possible they won't go back at all, so...that's a crappy end of year for them. But, again, as long as everyone stays healthy, that's what matters.
The kids have been having fun playing Minecraft together...we've now had hours on end when they aren't fighting. Amazing!
I think I forgot to post this pic of G right after he lost his tooth...he now has another one ready to fall out. Thank goodness the Tooth Fairy is (hopefully) immune to the coronavirus and can still leave the gold coins for the kiddos!
I've been able to recoup on my commuting time, and am actually getting more stuff done at home, too. I adjusted my workspace a bit, and finally found a good use for Scott's wireless keyboard, so now I'm comfy while working.
The only outings that I had in the last week was a solo trip to the compost bin...and that's outside, so I'm not sure that counts? And then on Thursday, I ordered from Target and did their drive-up pick-up...slick! We had a lovely Mexican mean delivered on Saturday night, so it was good to get some different food into our bellies. :)
Scott and I are both considered critical workers (I'm part of the medical supplies supply chain, and he's in non-residential construction/mechanic) so we are both still okay to work. I just get to stay at home, and he has to go to work everyday. Because of that, he's the nominated one to run to the grocery store, liquor store, and hardware store. With only one of us being out, we're hoping to contain the risk of exposure. Plus, I think he'd go batty if he was at home 24/7. He has made the decision that for his personal customers, he will go to them and work on their trucks, and won't have anything come to our house. I am very grateful for that decision, and am super happy that he's taking this seriously.
The weather feels a bit wintery...it's gray, overcast, and wet. Perfect for snuggling up and watching some tv with the fam!
