Today we had a series of failures. After five weeks of online learning I think we hit a breaking point. The internet kept freezing, the all important online check-ins could not be done, and the assignments could not be turned in. The kids hit a wall and in all honesty, I think I hit theContinue reading “Laughter is Good Medicine”

There is a new found freedom when one suddenly doesn’t have to physically attend school anymore. All the social pressures of what to wear, how to fix your hair, name brands, trends, you name it, suddenly disappear. We all remember what those pressures were for each of us and it is no different today. SoContinue reading “Pink hair don’t care”

I’m terrible at Yoga. I really am. I’m not patient; I don’t really like to be quiet; and settling my mind is a whole other challenge. So in all honesty, I’m terrible at yoga.

Today, like most others, I get up, do a little work, get the kids up for school, and if I’m motivated put clean pajamas on. There’s something comforting and “homey” about being in my pajamas all day.Continue reading “It’s pajama day, again”

It’s been almost four weeks. Four weeks of no activities, four weeks of very little contact, four weeks of staying at home. It’s been almost four weeks, and If I’m being completely honest, I woke up today tired of it.   I miss my daily walking route, and the neighbors I see along the way.Continue reading “It’s not about me”

I have a cat. Yes, I know you’re thinking I must have a crazy house with all the animals and your right, it is crazy. The cat is named Charlie. He is 5 and still very persnickety. He was a birthday present for one of my daughters and has become the family couch potato. WeContinue reading “Charlie at work”

Fear lingers in the air as the invisible enemy continues to lurk in the air. People hide in their homes to protect themselves andContinue reading “It’s Easter morning, and everything’s different”

Bright, talented, kind, socially aware. We remember when you started preschool. We thought graduating in 2020 sounded so cool, and so far away. Story after story reported your schooling. You were the class of 2020. What would life be like then? What would your graduation hold? So interesting, so exciting. You’ve weathered many storms. WhoContinue reading “To the class of 2020”
