Nine Days Off

Yesterday I picked up the kids from school, and both of them had to clean out their desks and lockers. The schools are closed for next week, and will hopefully be back in session on the 30th. They were also instructed to bring home all of their login information, and add zoom to their phones. It really feels like we might be switching to online only soon…

Right now everyone is home for the next nine days. My husband has taken time off work, and so far I’ve been in the kitchen nonstop. The weather is amazingly cool, and I have been spending time baking breads, brownies, and making homemade soup.

I’ll start the Thanksgiving baking soon, and I still need to menu plan for next week too. I’ve got a load of laundry waiting on me, so I had better get back to it.

Flexibility

Our district announced yesterday that the High School would begin online learning today. I’ve got one kiddo home, and two just waiting to get the call… The covid cases are beginning to rise again in our area, and I’m concerned that we are heading for another shutdown.

This week I’ve been getting the house stocked up with necessities, and getting the house ready for Thanksgiving. I started decorating for Christmas too, because I figured, why not.

I’m trying not to get too stressed about all of it, but the anxiety is eating at me just a little. Right now I’m taking it all hour by hour, and keeping my phone close.
