Oh my goodness what a long month. Good things - the birthdays and family fun. Bad things - online school. The girls have had so many ups and downs the past few weeks. Kate hates online school. Fiona doesn't hate it, but gets next to nothing out of it. Alice... I'm never sure. It seems like she's okay, but then she melts down. I've been okay teaching online, but the prep never ends. During the day I'm at home, so when I should be doing my prep, during my preps - I'm cooking, or cleaning, or helping my girls through their class work or their emotions, so then I'm up late every night prepping for the next day. That means I'm exhausted pretty much all the time and that's hard. The upside - we're together, Ken and I are employed, we're healthy, and we have enough tech for everyone to work at home!
The school set-up in the beginning. This didn't last. Eventually Kate went up to our room, Alice and Fiona were in the living room/dining room and I camped out in the basement. I think I've only been interrupted by crying Fiona twice. The girls have interrupted my classes a few times - but not too bad!
We've had some fun outside time, and it's been pretty mild, so that's a blessing.
