Back to school this week, and I am prepared. Armored with the best teacher around. April (my step-sister) comes to my rescue, as usual. I just appreciate her so.
We are maintaining our routine fairly well.
I start my day with coffee from my favorite coffee shop (Reverie), and get on the computer for work before 7am. I do what I can before 8, when I go downstairs to wake all the kids.
They are to eat breakfast, get dressed, brush their teeth, get their school work set up, ready for April’s arrival at 9am. School is from 9 til 11. They are able to complete all of their daily work within that timeframe.
Then, it’s playtime. I am still working, so they are content with eachother’s company.
I make a lunch, we go for a walk in the neighborhood, and play some more. Of course, I work some more, and then the day is done.. except on the day when we have virtual karate, pathfinders, and now counseling once a week.
It’s an interesting time across the globe, but we are managing, and learning to thrive in these unprecedented times.
Coffee for the win.
Kids Chromebooks for the win. (this is how they get their school work done, read books, test on books, and stay accountable to meet their weekly goals)
Kids having supportive, engaging teachers for the win.
Having family support for the win.
We are doing it, with a smile. 🙂
All in a Day
