Morning of Day 23

Wow, it's been a week since I last blogged. It's been fast and slow all at once.

Work is still insane. I've been working more hours than I should; not many more, but I have had a few 9 hour days, at least 2 this week. Mostly, I've been able to keep from working over hours because my husband gets on me about it.

I've been trying to make sure I get out most days for at least a short, socially distanced walk. I try to get kiddo out as well, but yesterday was rainy, and today looks rainier.

Patience has been on the thin side. "Homeschool" has been a bit willy nilly and more flexible.The kid's school has now started doing at least a few things online, so I'm at least making sure they check into the google classroom each day, and then do a few things. Thank goodness for Khan Academy and Crash Courses on YouTube.

Math yesterday wasn't great. Kid was frustrated, and there was some yelling because I was trying to get some time urgent stuff done, but we got through it, and in the end, the kiddo understood it well enough to be able to get 100% on the Khan unit test.

I'm so tired of laundry this week. It doesn't help that about 4 times this week, kid has wet the bed. Husband is usually the one that changes the sheets at night, since it either happens when he's still awake, or he's a lighter sleeper and wakes up faster when kid comes into the room to wake us. It's not out of the ordinary, and growing out of it late has run in the family. I've seen that that can be hereditary to grow out of it late so...I guess we just deal with it for now. It's a bummer though because it does make things like arranging for sleepovers, or (like we want to do tonight) camping out on the air mattress, a bit more touch-and-go. Kid has had a few sleepovers with no issues, so I'm not sure if it's just that they sleep lighter with company/elsewhere or if it's been pure luck that those haven't been accident nights.

Things around here are closed until at least May 4th. That's still a whole month to go.

I have vacation in a few weeks; hoping that I can still take it, because I'm really going to need a break from working at home.
