I live in a medium-sized metro area with capital and university. I am now working from home, and the kids (the ones in private school) are doing remote learning that the teachers set up in 2 days. The high schooler is doing Khan Academy, since the public schools are doing nothing. My husband is working longer hours to fill in for staff that can’t work due to no childcare. Lots of places are closed. It rained yesterday and was cold and blustery today. The kids (6) are squirrelly but the always are. (5 are my sister’s).
Good things happening though. My sister has stopped over feeding the kids, and we focus on eating leftovers before they go bad, so there is less waste, we are praying together as a family and in general learning to care more for each other. A lot of this they already do at school, but it’s nice to see at home.
Some of the same things still happen, like spilled milk and sticking stuff in electrical outlets. So far we’re doing well.
Not raining today, so we did some lite shopping then spent a couple hours splitting wood this afternoon. Support your local small biz, most are in dire straits
