We are in the Red Zone

 This last week was pretty good. I was especially feeling good about having established a new routine that I felt was manageable and even started fitting in more workouts. Unfortunately, it was short-lived. Ada County is back in red with corona numbers and Piper and Ryan are going back to school every other day instead of every day. I now have to worry about ensuring they are getting their school work done as well. Piper does pretty well but Ryan is much too young and needs my support in his assignments  It's hard to come home after work and try to teach Ryan a day's worth of school work. UGH! Teachers in the West Ada school district are mad because they don't want to teach students in person at all in red and parents want their kids to go to school. I feel really bad about the people in charge. 700 teachers in the school district called in sick for Monday and so the school district had to cancel school. It's such a mess! So I'm wondering if they will go back to online full time. Meanwhile, in my district, I am supposed to start having kids come back to school this week. I just checked my work email and as of right now that is still the plan. I will be very curious about what this week brings. I'm pretty stressed about it and am trying to think about it tomorrow. My co-worker Janet and I were too nervous to buy cooking supplies on Friday because we weren't sure if we would be staying online. Mondays for my district are always online so we have tomorrow to see what happens and buy supplies if students do in fact come back Tuesday. I teach 2 classes at Boise High and they haven't had an FCS teacher for a few years so I have no idea what supplies I need to get over there. I will be in survival mode this week for sure. I also have parent-teacher conferences this week. Hold on tight!

I started to get a bad headache last night and still have one today. My stomach also hurts. I'm staying in bed all day and hoping I will feel better tomorrow. This week will be a doozy. 


Scott snagged a picture of me and Ryan's bedtime storytime. 

I was so tired of sitting and working on the computer all day that I decided to sew an apron on Friday while at work. It was a good way for me to figure out the school sewing machines and I don't have a lot of time at home to do it. Huzzah! 

Our dryer does not work well and we had it professionally blown out! It's much better now. Our vent runs all the way under our house and is impossible to clean out ourselves.
