The stars aligned today and, don't worry, it's not going to my head or anything, but I am absolutely marinating in the loveliness that was today.
What made it so great? Oh, I'm glad you asked. I'd be pleased to fill you in.
Both girls did a larger than average amount of independent play/work which, in the land of isolation and homeschooling, is a big deal. e spent a good deal of time building with Mega Bloks and tending to her babies and animals in her playroom, and E crushed her to-do list for the day. I made a running list of assignments that need to be completed this week (mostly assigned by her school with a few of my own details sprinkled in), and she almost finished the entire list! She was pretty much nose to the grind from about 9am to 4pm, just like a regular school day.
How did this happen?
Shhh...don't question it. Actually, I shouldn't even be mentioning it except for the fact that it's over now and I can't jinx it after the fact.
While the girls toiled, I slogged away at my taxes, which are still nowhere near completion. But it's a process, and at least I'm on the road. I also spoke with the girls' school about how to continue paying for private school after having most of our income wiped out, and I was so pleasantly surprised at how completely understanding and accommodating they were. It turns out I needn't have lost all that sleep over the past few days after all! Now let's cross our fingers that the bank is equally helpful. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA...
After dinner I suggested to E that she do a little running on the treadmill. She and her dad have a little challenge going, and she stands to make some cash if she wins. She has been given 2 weeks to meet her goal. She crushed it on Day 1. That's MY GIRL.
So, what's brewing for the rest of the week, you wonder? Let me check my calendar...
So glad to read about a great day!! We were nowhere near as accomplished, but we met some goals (like tacos for dinner). Super yay for the convo re: the school.
