2 weeks down, no clue how much longer to go....
Cayden starts spring break tomorrow, otherwise known as living life inside the house without school or assignments to do and praying the weather is nice enough to be outside for hours on end and keep most of our mess outside.
If one more person messages me or "shares" another special activity that I can do with the boys in all of our free time.......I don't know, but I am still waiting for this elusive freetime I keep hearing about to show up. The first 7 hours of my day are spent going between 3 different desk stations with different kids. 2 are on Zoom classrooms 3 days a week and the other (up until tomorrow) has to be walked through online assignments that require typing, watching videos and taking pictures of work being done. In between my rounds, there is trying to get another load of laundry washed, prepping lunch to be ready right at 11:45 (older 2 have a specific lunch break), regular house duties that have erupted with 6 people living here full time, oh.....and a 3 year old that has decided to "part time" potty train, learn how to whine about everything, decided to try the defiant thing, wants to eat all the time and walk around with his hands down the back of his pants.
Once school is officially over for the day, comes the snack time, homework, outdoor/extra energy time, suppertime, house blessings, baths, game playing, uploading homework to teachers for the next day, printing out schoolwork and quizzes for the next day, cleaning up dinner and exploding kitchen and then some quiet hangout time with the older 2.
Between job searching, consulting, helping out our church with live streaming, Chris has been spending 10+ hours a day in the office.....he is hopeful to start working with Cooper and Cayden on soccer a couple nights each week since they are missing their soccer season and he was going to finally get to coach Cayden's team.
We are thankful that Gaga is here to give a helping hand. We have found ways to help fill her schedule up some. She gives Cooper a private bible lesson on Monday. Tuesday's bible lesson is with Carson. On Wednesday, she listens in on History class with Carson from 12:30-2. Fridays are quite full. She folds all of our laundry in the morning and sits in on another history class from 12:30-2. We are having her join us for movie nights on Saturdays (this helps out with the fact that Chris isn't available on Saturdays because he is busy recording, editing and uploading the sermon for Sunday morning).
We have no clue how much longer this will last. Looking forward to the day I can put all the electronics away again (2 desktops, 2 laptops, ipad and smart phone being relied upon daily) and get back to saying no screen time on school days....
Stay safe and STAY HOME😷😊
