Yesterday was the first "real" day of school, I would say. First day with regular schedule, academics, etc. It went fine. Overall, it was all fine. The biggest issue is that I already feel exhausted from just being "on" all the time. The easiest days by far of having kids home with me while I work… Continue reading An easy day vs hard day: parenting edition

Life, and a SPLURGE!
3 day weekend, complete. On to the....first "real" week of school! Technically the boys started last week Thursday, but it was super light. Too light, in my opinion, after months and months with no school, but I digress. Anyway, they basically just had a couple check ins with their teachers and worked through a few "techy" things… Continue reading Life, and a SPLURGE!
U-rah-rah, it’s the first day of school
Hold onto your hats, folks, it's another school year. Today marks the official first day, though as I've already shared, we'll be starting back up virtually. I think these first couple of days will start out slow and mostly be getting their feet wet with the new virtual schedule and system.Over the past two days, the… Continue reading U-rah-rah, it’s the first day of school
School Update
I hinted at this in my post the other day, but I should probably address this fully. So, school. Just another one of the 1,000,000 hot topics of the year that gives people another thing to fight and disagree about. This one really gets me riled up personally, so I'm going to try to keep this… Continue reading School Update
School
Well, it's been a few days now so I guess I have to stop pretending I’m still on vacation and talk about something else. How about….SCHOOL??? Because in the current climate, that’s a fun topic!!! 😊 Hehe. Seriously though, school talk is all the rage right now around here. Probably everywhere, I’m assuming. Our local… Continue reading School
Back to Reality + School Woes
No matter how hard I try, I always have sort of a hard time getting back in the groove after some time away. My 5 am alarm that I normally really have no trouble getting up to felt like a bullhorn going off in my room today. I hit the SNOOZE button (repeatedly), something I… Continue reading Back to Reality + School Woes
Last Day of School
Happy Friday! Today is officially my boys’ last day of school, although we basically called it as of like, Tuesday. 😊 They really didn’t have any real “work” this week- just some fun, optional virtual activities and things like that. I mostly gave them a free pass the rest of the week to just do whatever… Continue reading Last Day of School
Online School, Flexibility and Life Lessons
This is a quote that I have always really liked. I've heard it a lot in the fitness world, but I think it applies to all aspects of life. In the fitness and health realm, it refers to staying true to your goals (decisions) but knowing that there is more than one way to get there.… Continue reading Online School, Flexibility and Life Lessons
A Random Thursday: Work Worries, a new School Schedule and Lemon Bars
The last few days have felt pretty manageable. There hasn't been a lot of real significance to report, but overall I feel like this week has been going relatively smoothly. No big issues on the school front, no big issues on the home front. The only "issue" would be on the work front, which I… Continue reading A Random Thursday: Work Worries, a new School Schedule and Lemon Bars
“We gotta get out of this place…” 🎵🎵
It's Day 25 in "lock down" for us today. Yesterday afternoon we got the news that our "Safer at Home" restrictions have been extended through at least May 26 and school has officially been cancelled now through the end of the school year. 😞 We all knew this was a real possibility, but of course we… Continue reading “We gotta get out of this place…” 🎵🎵
