So today was our first day all 4 of us were home. We’re starting to learn how to do school and work at home and it can be challenging at sometimes. It’s a whole new normal and it’s going to take time. Days like today I wish we had a room that was our office but Chris went downstairs and was able to do his video classroom there. I am lucky enough that I don’t have to make plans or lessons for my kids who I teach because I am a pre-k teacher but I do have mandatory trainings that I have to complete. That can get long and boring at times sitting at the computer for hours on end. These days really make us appreciate life and realize the little things that we have taken for granted.
The kids got most of their homework done in the morning and we spent some time outside playing softball and basketball. While Quinn and I took showers Amelia and Chris took a walk. Both Quinn and I have been very stuffy and was hoping that taking a shower would help things. I definitely felt much better after getting out of the shower.
It’s was a great day to be outside. By like 2:00 in the afternoon the sun was shining and it felt so good to get some vitamin d. After playing in the front yard for a little while Quinn and I eventually went to the backyard. She played in the sandbox and even swung on the swing. I got a chair out from the shed and sat there and started to knit. Knitting really does relax every bone in my body. I’m not making anything particular. I’m just going to continue and see what happens.
I also began keeping a tally of the days that we have been at home. I can’t wait until one day we look back at all this and say can you believe what happened! We survived it and became stronger from it.
I’m just happy that my kids haven’t really been emotionally affected by any of this yet. That will be a hard day when it does affect them. Thank God for Facebook messenger and zoom so we can see friends and chat with them.
Thinking back at the last few days today was definitely one of the hardest for me. I have just been really tired today and just really need to get some r&r. Quinn And I even took a nap mid-afternoon and I think that’s what she and I needed.
