by Michele L. Mueller on 03/30/20So yesterday the President extended the orders to stay away from each other and hang out at home until April 30th. That means a whole month ahead of this learning at home. I guess it doesn't seem as bad as NOT having a date. I know...that doesn't mean that April 30th is written in stone and can't be updated. But...it does give me a SENSE (or false hope!) of...a light at the end of the tunnel.
So Thursday was kiddo's birthday so I let him have a school work free day - same as Friday so he could enjoy his new gifts. Of course, Saturday and Sunday are school work free and we're back at it this Monday morning. I thought there would be less resistance if we started out with something fun on one of his "Choice Board" that his Teen Leadership teacher sent us - so he is building a structure out of marshmallows and toothpicks. From what I can gather from my inconspicuous side-glance...he's making a skeleton...well...and petting the cat.
On a very momentous note...last night kiddo tried something new...stuffed shells I made for dinner. He loved it! "That was a great meal, mom. May I have more ?!" Like...WHAT?! That's a big deal for a picky eater - at least MY picky eater! And he said he can't wait to have more today for lunch. :)
Anyway...here we are...another week of learning at home. Fingers crossed and prayers sent up for patience and good vibes. More importantly, for our nation and all those affected in so many ways by the Coronavirus.
