I have 4 lovely children at home with me, while I work, continue to prepare meals for them, (at home), keeping the house tidy, laundry caught up, get that fresh air, maintain sanity, all while doing the “things.”
I am gaining a bonus child during the week, 4 days a week anyway, while her parents are working. What’s one more? She’s definitely a joy to have, so there is nothing to complain about there.
I have the blessing of being able to work fully from home, get my full benefits, and I’m truly GRATEFUL! There are not many who have the same situation.
This is spring break.. We were planning a trip to dig for diamonds this week. Leaving today actually. Instead, they requested that we set up our family tent in the garage, so they could experience camping. No problem.. I just wish we had property they could just pitch the tent up in the backyard, and we would be safe. There have been vehicle break-ins in our neighborhood, so we really can’t just camp out there. I also started out with 4 kids in the tent, and the BOYS were deciding they wanted to sleep inside instead. The girls braved it out, and made it all night long. They loved it.
We will continue our outdoor hikes this afternoon, scootering around, swim tonight at our family poolhouse, and hang out at home.
We are truly blessed with the situation we are in, and I wouldn’t have it any other way, given our circumstances.
Local parks and facilities were shut down, effective yesterday.
I’m just thankful for my cousin’s coffee & tea shop remaining open, to provide my daily essentials, to keep my sanity. 🙂
Kids are grateful too, since they do enjoy her custom hot chocolate and steamed milk.
Cheers!!!
All in a Day
