Is this time different?

Wow life has gotten crazy.  That is probably the biggest understatement.

Obviously the virus of which we don't speak it's name is the headliner of all news.

So a list of things that has changed for my family in the past 2-3 weeks

1. School and daycare was shutdown or an additional week after spring break. Which they added 2 additional weeks - So we are homeschooling
2. Work has strongly encourages us to work from home if possible. I was able for 2 weeks until they wanted me to coming.
3. My work office is changing buildings to have our team seporated across buildings
4. Summer plans are all on hold
5. Tickets we bought for skiing are all in question
6. The stockmarket has fallen like a rock 
7. Whole state is on lock down

Here is a list of some nice things

1. Taxes are now not due until July 15th yeah I get to keep the money longer
2.  I accidently over bought toliet papper months ago.  I though we were out in Janurary so I push up out Amazon subscribe and Save order. I counted yesturday we had 120 rolls.  We donated 24 rolls to our friends who were on their last roll.
3. Went through a list of services we aren't using and cancalled 
1. Car wash (we only use in the winter)
2. gym - no point when you can't go
3. consumer reports - good resource, but not something we use every month. No real reason to keep it until you need it again
4. RoadRunner - havn't cancalled yet. It is nice when you have to buy shoes.
4.  One eatten out/in once since this all started. Really only to support local a business. They are hurting.
5. Bought flowers for a friend who was sick. They liked it and the flower store thanked us like 5 times
6. A lot more outside walking time with dog and family

Besides out dog who is getting like 10 walks a day since he is a year and half old Lab with so much energy it is required. This last month has pretty much sucked for the entire world.

Before I started back at work this was my schedule. We kinds skipped Spring break and just went straight into homeschooling. Sorry kids.

6:30 - Wait up at and get breakfast ready
7:00 - First try to get the kids up. Mostly they get up, but sometimes they need an extra 15
7:15 - Make sure kids are up and changed
7:30 - Eat breakfast and let the kids play until 8
8:00 - 9:30 - school (circle time, math, literacy)
9:30 - 10:30 -   snack and recess - we do this in the basement as it did snow a foot the first week, I  workout during this time. Either run on treadmill or weight exercises. Today the kids rode their bikes and I ran along side them.
10:30 - 11:30 - back to teaching - science and art
11:30 - 12:30 - Lunch and recess again (outside recess) - we have been playing soccer during this time in the driveway
12:30 - 13:00 - Switch with Wife (continues the schooling) who was working in the office and I walk the dog.
13:00 - 18:15 - Working from home
18:15 - 19:30 - Dinner and story time with the kids
19:30 - 20:00 - relaxe/recharge/bathroom/walk dog
20:00 - 22:45 - finish working
22:45 - 24:00 - looking leason plans for next day and figure out how to homeschool. and get ready for bed

So I have been pretty tired these first two weeks and they have been a learning curve.

More to follow on homeschool and how we are dealing with the food shortages.
