Two Months of SIP

Wow, it’s been two months (9 weeks actually). I can hardly remember what has happened these past 4 weeks. The days are blurring and would probably be worse if I wasn’t going to work on a regular basis.

I’ve been able to work from home 2 out of 4 of my work days and it’s been helpful but challenging at the same time. Jes bought me a widescreen monitor for the desk upstairs and set up my laptop so I had dual screens for work.

The kids are in somewhat of a schedule now:

Between 7-8am: They wake up and hang out together on their iPads until Jes wakes up.

8:30am: Breakfast (they get some good meals nowadays – bacon, eggs, waffles sometimes)

9:30am: KK’s Classroom Zoom Meeting / Peanut on his laptop doing some math games

10:00am: KK either has Music (on Mondays) or free time to play with Peanut

11:00am: Office Hours with Ms. Bliss (her teacher). Some days she reads to them, some days it’s a small group lesson

12:00pm: Lunch

1:00pm: Play Time

2:00pm: Yu Ying (Mandarin online school) and Peanut takes a nap

3:30pm: KK is done and Peanut generally wakes up by then.

The rest of the day is spent watching tv and/or playing.

5:00pm: I come home (on Mondays and Tuesday) and the kids go outside to ride bikes, scooters, and skateboards. I park the van outside and they use the garage as a play area.
