I stayed home to help with the kids again today. They were totally out of control yesterday and I can only imagine what they would have been like if I hadn’t been here. Lesa worked today so that made things even harder. I tried to fill in for her and help out where I could but mostly I wasn’t in the know. My role was peacekeeper and enforcer all rolled into one. I’m tired because I stayed up late last night and I got up before my alarm this morning due to Louise and the kids. I got a call early morning about the extra Chromebook so I went out just before 3p to pick it up, I was really hoping to get an extra hotspot but those were limited so we settled for the Chromebook. Dillan says the hotspots are working okay even in the video conferences. That’s a huge relief since our Internet is basically non-existent. All the kids but Bruce did their work, Bruce still has no structured learning from his teacher so we had to teach him ourselves, I did math again, and I also helped with his language arts and had him read to me, Lesa did the rest. By afternoon we were done enough with school work that I was able to get the Chromebook, took Ashley and Dwyane, Dillan and Bruce didn’t want to go. I stopped and got ice cream from Dollar General on our way home. I took Lesa’s car because my has the brake issue. I put brakes on the truck and Dillan helped. He didn’t really do much but he did stick around the entire time this time. We test drove it after. Bacon and eggs Thursday which was fine with me, I like breakfast for dinner, kids not so much. I was filthy so I took a shower. Lesa went to Tractor Supply for chicken stuff and the three boys went went her, she stopped and got ice cream for the boys. It must have felt like an ice cream kind of day. Kids watched TV before bed and bedtime was a struggle. Did another 3 hours like I did last night and I’m getting ready for bed now.
