It's official. School is back and we are online learning specialists. Though HOW a certain maths teacher for Grade 7 expects the kids to do SEVENTY pages of maths in the next 7 school days I really don't know. HH offered to add a tot of something restorative to my tea this afternoon when that went down!!
The young padawan was at his computer well before the allocated hour, keen and eager and mildly desperate to get online. He tore through his lists and was done by 10am, then wanted to play games for the rest of the day. "That's a negative, Skywalker!"
The older padawan threw virtual light sabers everywhere, shredded a few people in the family but generally survived the LOUD music she was listening to while clearing a few items from her to do list. She loves the Piano Guys so I don't fuss too much. They are pretty amazing musicians.
HH and I headed out at 5 for our exercise session, which I knew I would need because of the supper I was planning. Chicken and mushroom pie, followed by mini apple pies for dessert. Yummmm. It did lead to lots of "MOM"s being yelled along with pleas for more. If only we could get the kids out and running around with us. I do a minimum 2km run each day and am impressed with my progress as I actually dislike running a lot. I'd rather hike! I do add to the workout by carrying the cat for some distance too. I call it weight training and he is NOT light! None of us want to roll out of lockdown in a country that is struggling for food.
Which leads to the quote of the day: "Who the heck knows what frugal living is?!" delivered by a tween who obviously does NOT know anything about frugality. The question was asked loudly while she was inspecting the fridge (hee hee). Oi vey!
Time to loadshed the house to get said tween to bed. Hoping the essay due on frugal living will trigger some good conversations.
Cccccooooommmming! And that's Day 31 done and dusted. Where did it go?
