Homeschooling Day 1: I am tapping out. 😭🥃🤪😂

Quarantine Kitty Snuggles

Homeschooling Day 1: Field trip! First stop on our tour was to the BGS parking lot where we dumped our bags of purged clothes and shoes to the ECO Bin. Not pictured was our next stop to dump all our plastic bags into the recycling bin at Shaw's. After that was a stop at the local transfer station where we pretend that all the recycling we dumped in the bin actually gets recycled. And last, we finished our trip with Frappuccinos at Starbucks.

Homeschooling Day 1: A Tale of Two Shauns. This morning got off to a very rough start (top picture). There was a meltdown of epic proportions (Shaun), followed by lots of swearing (me) that ended with both of us in our respective "take a break" spots. None of us like this new normal. We have no control over this situation or how long we're even going to be in it. And it's beyond frustrating. The bad attitude the tween had this morning certainly didn't help. After the "take a break", a come to Jesus talk, a long hug, a little exercise (to get the blood flowing), a field trip and a Frappuccino, we came to an understanding. And that brings us to the afternoon (bottom picture). There was a complete 180. The tween had an adjusted attitude and new respect for what we're all going through and I truly felt like we were going to be OK. And tonight, this mom (and reluctant homeschool teacher) earned her bourbon! 🥃 Tomorrow is another day.

Sweet, sweet, nectar of life! 🥃😂
