4 kids-4 different schools. I could not be any more proud of my kiddos! This month they have taken hardships and turned them into strengths!
Thankful for my village! For the first time since school started (late August), I'm free at 9pm on a weeknight night to have ME time. I don't know what to do!
Late Aug - Race to get clothes and school supplies for Emma. Last-minute shoppers get the scraps and have to go to many different stores. Stress level 7.
Aug 30th - First day of 4th grade. Note - She has not been to in-person school since March (a few days shy of her super-crappy B-day) in 2020. Stress level 10!
Also Aug 30th - M* - First day of 12th grade, online. Stress level 10!!!
Sept 11th - Sam's back-to-school supplies are now done. Stress level 6.. not too bad, more products in stock and less needed at his grade.
Sept 13th - First day at a brand new school for Sam. JR HIGH!!! After a year stuck at home, he's now attending a STEM school. Stress level 10! Note.. shouldn't have stressed as he loves this type of hands-on learning. 3-D printer, laser cutter, welding, and woodshop, all in addition to project-based learning.
Sept 15th - Back to school clothes shopping for Sam... need I say more?
Sep 20-24th - Emma's entire school had to quarantine due to a breakthrough case of C-19. Had to learn how to Zoom / Seesaw / Zoodles etc. Stress level 10+!
Sept 27-Oct 1 - Emma switched to a new home school pod. Started a new homework routine, met new friends, had her first test, and made some more friends! Today a much-needed break from stress with her first FIELD TRIP. What a trooper!! Her stress level is starting to come down.
Oct 1 - Christian started college! Online learning with several new platforms is no easy task to learn! He had to create accounts for Moodle, MOM, new Gmail & Outlook, etc. It's all new to us, so it's difficult to sit with all the unknowns to come.
