Hi Stephanie! How's life?

My girl is stubborn.

It is hard to see this as a feature and not a fault at times.

hello, all! I'm good - watching the snow fall outside the window of my home work spot. Trying to get started on a new week of work but not feeling it yet. Sort of dreaming of escaping my current reality but of course, there's nowhere to go AND who would care for the kids so...I thought I would drop by and say hello.

Yes, motivation seems to be a major casualty of this crisis.

Not much motivation here this morning either. ltc is sitting next to me and asking me how to spell words so that she can write them in her new notebook. I thought I had a headache last night because I drank too much prosecco, but I think it was because we had this major rain storm coming.

Dear, sweet, Jeebus, YES. Mine has completely fled. Even for the stuff that I LOVE TO DO.

'Sup, y'all??? Aims reporting for duty.

CINDY!! I was JUST wondering where you were and how you've been!! I am so happy to see you!!

Hey Aims! How are you and the kiddo doing? Also, how are all your little out of school kiddos?

We're doing okay. Both of us struggle without structure so we're trying to work through that both here at my place and at Joe's. Em and I have been talking a lot more as her anxiety is pretty high right now. I find it difficult sometimes to carry the load of her (understandably big) emotions and anxiety, as well as try to find balance within my big emotions and anxiety.

My little out of school kiddos are okay, from what I can tell. I've only "met" with them once. It took me a good three days to recover from that, I miss them so much.

I can only imagine! I am stressed and anxious, and that never happens to me, so a new experience. As a teen it has to be that much more emotional. I have to say the teens in my area seem to be gathering on the street in larger groups than most of the adults. But still maybe 3-4 in a group. Kids here have virtual school, but that still leaves them with way too much time on their hands.

DH is trying to keep his athletes on track with individual coaching suggestions like running our overpasses since they don't have the beach or hills as an option. Also using things at home for weights since they can't go to the gym and these kids don't have weight benches at home. No hoops to practice shots unless they have one at home.

Hey gang.
