This Remote Learning Thing

This week we were supposed to be heading to Florida for vacation, yet here we sit in Ohio with our suitcases in the closet EMPTY!😕 We're just here, hunkering down during this global pandemic. I get this is serious and people have lost their lives, but holy smokes it's time to get things moving again. It's been 8 weeks for me, I'm taking this time off work to just be mom and teach my boys, yet it seems like yesterday all at the same time! It's been crazy and I'm truly not sure what to believe anymore, but I'm choosing "Faith over Fear" and just embracing this time. I'm loving being home with my boys and learning so much about them with their school responsibilities. I don't get to see this side, so I'm soaking it all up!

Ethan has it down! I can honestly say, I haven't had to raise my voice at him, hound him, or even get him up to start his day. He's doing good and I'm so proud of him! Now, it's a lot and he does take a break midway, but he's got it figured out and that has helped me so much.  Colin, has needed more hands on and with Ethan able to do his own thing, I'm able to give Colin my full attention.  I can't even tell you what a blessing that has been! It's been fun watching Colin and learning more about him, since I don't get to see him in his normal school day setting.  Mrs. Jones has helped so much by keeping this mama in line with a weekly schedule. It keeps Colin on track and helps me not feel so overwhelmed. I never wanted to be a teacher, yet here I sit....lol!

Overall, things have been just fine here. Yes, this is different, but we are all embracing it and making the most out of this remote learning thing. Only 2 more weeks left and yes, we're counting down to summer break!💛
