WE MADE IT! And let me tell you, that almost didn’t happen!
The girls have their first week of school under their belt. My big one stepped her game up and championed e-learning. She signed on and got to work! I am so proud of the work she has put in, even though she isn’t in her desired environment. And this chick is a creative genius. After completing an escape room created by her GE Math teacher, she took after school time to create her own. This child would not take a break until it was complete and achieved her vision. I am so proud of her…even if she did rudely kick me out as I was trying to help her fix her grammatical errors. #SheCanHoldHerOwn
My little one was a warrior in her own right. She kept her pants on (most of the time) and mastered the art of dual monitors. She is now a true work from home convert. She signs on, moves her daily slides to her second monitor, and excitedly waits for the next snack and independent time. #Priorities If we can just get this child to stop spinning in her chair, tilting her chair backwards (it has wheels), flipping the camera switch on before I am out of view, and drifting off to never never land when it’s assignment time…we may just make it the year at home! #Maybe
I am starting to feel better about my exit stage left, though. I have been in the vicinity of both girls this week, just to make sure they are focused and have what they need at their fingertips. I thought I would be a runner for school stuff, but these chicks apparently need water bottles filled and snacks. Who knew? But I have to remind myself that I wouldn’t be there if they were in school. So, they need to be able to manage themselves without me.
I will remove myself from the room next week and post up in the hallway. That little one will appreciate not having a classmate all in her sugar! Next, I will make it to my bedroom and by week 4, I may just reunite with my own office…DOWNSTAIRS. Imagine that!
I am truly humbled and blessed. I am not working and can give my kiddos the attention and support they need during our “Project Home E-Learnitude.” Now I need to find a way to be that blessing for those that can’t, but virtually. We shall see…
