Yesterday we got the official news that we are "distance learning" from 4/1-4/14. We are expected to be in at least one meeting each day on top of all the other things we are doing. What this means is we get no spring break. Not that we can go anywhere, but I know some of the HS teachers are doing a lot more for their classes. We will have to attend a meeting on Good Friday and every school day for the next two weeks. I know others were looking forward to a break. I don't feel like I have been doing a ton with my kids, but this whole process is exhausting. Then add 3 kids to the mix.
Today was a tough day. I had 3 different zoom meetings throughout the day, 3 hours on the computer. Plus I did my fb live. I'm beat and the kids didn't get much schoolwork done. They didn't want to help clean either. Mama wasn't too happy. I think whenever we do get to move things will be better. It's still cold out and quarters are getting tighter each day. We need space to roam free!
On a lighter note, the kids are getting along really well. I still worry each day that Callie's going to get hurt and have to take her to the ER and we are all going to get sick. Normal thought process, right? But they love each other and were all reading together tonight and snuggling-unprompted from mama. I'll call that a win.
Last night Alton wanted me to sleep with him. How could I refuse? Callie snuck in as she always does. There is no room for 3 people in a double bed. I told her to go snuggle with Daddy or V. She pulled out her blanket and Mermaid and slept at the floor by my feet. She even put on my slippers while she slept.
First thing in the morning it was pile on mama! This is why we have a California king. After talking with mom and auntie Jen on ft, we promptly hopped on pop so we had room!
On Wednesdays we do mad libs for my students on fb live. The kids didn't want to work with me today, but Callie sat on my lap and "helped." It's a great way to keep the kids refreshed on nouns, verbs, and adjectives. And the silliness is off the charts!
They wanted to look at a map to see where Texas was. They want to visit their aunts and cousins again!
I was in meetings all day which killed me. It was cold and yucky out and the kids watched too much tv. Thankfully it got nicer so we could spend some time outside. Callie is ready to take on zombies and wants to mow.
Rough day, mama started early!
We are doing a slide show for our kids while we are apart. My video wasn't working- of course. So I took a few pictures. Not to self. Wear real pants. These pj pants are becoming a real problem. Here are some cropped and non-cropped pics
April calendar. Nick will still be 40 on the 16th. That's about it. Closing will hopefully be in 2ish weeks....who knows..... No trip to NC, no spring break. Insert sad face.
But the good thing is we have lots of books to read and for me to record.
It's almost thirsty Thursday
Not prompted.....come over here, I love you!
and at the end of the day, no matter how crazy things are, these babies make it all worth it. I'm so lucky to be their mama.
