Hey, hey, guess who turned 44 this past week! Me! Last year my birthday fell on Easter, so most people didn't remember it. This year, it fell on a Tuesday in the middle of a global pandemic, and everyone was online, wishing me a happy day. Woohoo!
Overall, it was a lovely day...I had to work, but at least I was at home...right? I had the chance to chat with my Aunt Steph, my parents stopped over (hadn't seen them since early March!) to drop off a cake and gifts, Scott and family gave me flowers, cheese curds, and wine (because he couldn't get me anything else...and that's ok!), and my friend Dana had flowers delivered to my house. Cheeriness all around!
Beyond that, the kids had a pretty good week at the Goers Elementary/Middle School. Ava is continuing to be focused and driven and getting everything done well and on time, if not early. G has even settled down a bit, and is knocking out his school work quickly - except for writing. He still fights me on that, but once he gets it done, he acknowledges that it wasn't that hard and didn't actually take very long to complete.
G lost his 2nd tooth on Wednesday and the Tooth Fairy brought him a quarter. I thought that was weird because she usually brings him a gold dollar, so not sure how a silver piece was dropped off instead. Hmmmm...
The kids were off of school on Friday, and I only had 3 meetings, so I was able to be super productive for my job. It was, by far, the best day that I've had in the last 6 weeks where I've been balancing working at home, while also schooling at home. It was a GREAT way to wrap up the week for the weekend. (Let's just say that the first four days of the week were very hard...lots and lots of meetings, and trying to wrap my head around my new/old project that I inherited from the contractor who left. I really needed a good end to the week.)
I managed to get out for a little bit this week...ran to Costco, my work (to pick up a few things), and a parking lot pickup at Target. The local library is now doing curbside pickup for books that are on hold, so I was able to pick up my book club book on Friday. Wooooo!
Scott asked if I wanted to go to Menards with him, and I declined. I still feel very anxious when I leave the house, and would prefer that we limit our exposure to outside germs. Scott seems to be fine with it, so it's best that he's the one who is out and about.
The weather has been pretty nice, so we're hoping that it's not a super rainy end to the weekend. I know we'd both like to get outside and get some yard work done before the work week starts. It's a strange spring, where we can't do the normal things that we are used to when it gets warmer...like socializing with neighbors on the weekend, and fun happy hours on patios. Just gotta keep in mind that THIS TOO SHALL PASS! :)

The shirt is a little hard to read, but it says:
"April Birthday

The year when sh!t got real!
#quarantined"

Practicing some computer work for school...he spends a lot of time with me at my desk, on my home laptop
For his site words practice, he played hopscotch with "big, little, mother"...he loves that game!

G is a little sleepy from all of his screen time?
