Everyone is really tired. Ashley and Dwyane came in about 2:30p. Dillan and Bruce out running around late. Lesa and I got zero sleep and got up early to start our workdays. Work and school from home, the days are blurring one into another. I spent all day and half the evening working. Lesa had to go into the office for half the day, scary sh*t, and she was happy to get the hell out of there. I managed to get the kids fed lunch and helped with homework. Dillan said he had his done and tried to take advantage but I casually mentioned if homework wasn’t done by the time Lesa graded them this evening I was going to give a whack for every word – why whack isn’t whack your whack home whack done whack like whack you whack were whack supposed whack to whack? The afternoon homework found him still sitting at the table to get the morning work done in time. The other three got all their work done. Then I made them do their chores AND clean their rooms. I like to never heard the end of it. All day I heard “but Mommy does it this way” and I was like I’m not Mommy and we’re doing things my way today. Lesa got home and took over enough and I was able to work in earnest. I made piggy pancakes for supper. After supper Dwyane had a conference with his classroom. Dillan, Ashley and Bruce had a video conference with Melanie Prince and the Kid’s City Youth group from church. You could tell everyone was happy to see the others. About 9:00p a storm came blowing in – at about 70mph – and blew the rabbit hutch roof completely off and withing minutes we were without power. Candles and lanterns. Big kids were just into bed and they got kind of freaked out but we calmed them because they are asleep now. Lesa read from her tablet and I read a book from my laptop and going to bed in the dark and sending from my phone.
