Hope everyone had a good weekend now that it's Monday again.
We didn't do too much at all this weekend. On Saturday, I went to pick up the library book we had on hold and then spent the rest of the day doing laundry. In the evening our friend from Vancouver came over and we all jut hung out on the couch, watched the hockey game, and talked for a few hours. It was good to see him again and while I didn't have a lot to contribute to the conversation it was good to speak to another adult for a change. On Sunday, Bear and I went and got groceries. We also picked up the last thing she needed for her school list, which was a pair of shoes. We also managed to label all the school supplies and get them broken into the two piles of stuff they need the first week and stuff they don't. Hubs had hockey in the evening so I paid some bills and watched some TV. I've been trying to get through Very Scary People but of course I have to watch it when the kids are in bed or out somewhere as it's much too intense for them to see or hear.
Sometime this week the school has said that the girls teachers will call or email and let us know about what is going to happen for the near future. The whole back to school plan is a little in depth so any clarification will be good. While I understand all the precautions being taken, I'm still not all that happy that I'm not allowed into school as a parent and also Bug can't walk Bear to her classroom and pick her up after school. So I'm having to trust that everyone gets to where they need to go and where I can pick them up all on their own. It's a little much for the young kids to handle on their own.
I did not get the carrots dug up yesterday. I did think about it and then went for the school supplies instead. At least one thing got crossed off the list.
This week I need to do the carrots, get through work, and I'd like to clean and organize a book shelf in the living room. It's a small step but I think I can get rid of some books and make it look a little neater. I should also go through a drawer or two in my bedroom and clean and organize them. I just shove them full and shut the drawers and hope for the best and that is really not good enough.
We have swimming and bowling starting this month and so days are going to be used up and then it will be Christmas and nothing will have been done and then I'll have to go back to the office to work and even less will happen. Which reminds me.....I've got to book a day off. Better go do that!
Have a good day!
The whole school thing is very loosey goosey here in Ontario. Each board has different plans. My teacher friends are feeling pretty anxious too.
ReplyDeleteI just came in from pulling carrots. Not sure what is going on with the parsnips. They are only about an inch long!
