...just got voted "most musical," by her 8th grade class. <br />
<br />
The beginning of quarantine was tough for her. Everyday she'd come into my office:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"We should be performing in Simi today..."<br />"What are we doing today?"<br />"We would be having our dance today."<br />"We'd be on Spring Tour today."<br />"Can we go to the beach tomorrow?"</blockquote>
She was pretty mad about her social life being put on indefinite hold.<br />
<br />
Two months later it's down to:<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
"What are we doing today"<br />"Can we go to the beach tomorrow?"</blockquote>
She's definitely less angry which is nice.<br />
<br />
I get it, no music trip, no Washington D.C. trip, no 8th grade dance, no 8th grade promotion event (which has been rescheduled as a "drive through" event -- that will be interesting) and probably 6+ music performances cancelled. It really isn't fair. I keep telling her, at least she's not a high school senior.<br />
<br />
She has been doing a lot of solo music. She has started composing using software which I for one think is pretty impressive (yes, I'm her mom, but still).<br />
<br />
All in all we've settled into quarantine life pretty nicely. The girls and I have found our weekday rhythm and I have to admit -- it's not terrible.Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12603610288075750816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076919593092370907.post-44953433848990712782020-05-21T09:48:00.002-07:002020-05-21T09:48:34.773-07:00skate or die<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Mo took a turn on her skateboard and there were rocks and... well, fractured and dislocated elbow.<br />

Oddly enough the COVID-19 pandemic has not changed my schedule exceedingly. If anything I have more time as I no longer have to drive people to school and then pick up and drive around to various practices after school. No joke, this probably gives me anywhere between 2-3 hours more a day.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
But, the tradeoff is I am no longer alone in my office (house). The number of interruptions in my work day is countless. Questions about their school work, how to email an image to a group when they have email accounts that are limiting, how to crop an image for an assignment, how to change a document into a .pdf, questions about how to get answers from a counselor, etc. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I guess I should be happy they are cute little faces popping in ... </div>

Katie has started composing, which can be frustrating for her as in her words "I can't get what's in my head into this program!" And, she really has no one to help her as this is way out of my league. A snippet of the intro she has been working on:</div>

... misleading.<br />
<br />
They are NOT best friends. They tolerate each other. Yes, sometimes they play fight, and that's actually pretty funny. It's slow motion fighting. I'll need to post that someday.<br />
<br />
In the last few months Tobey has been peeing on Fitz's bed. What a jerk.<br />
<br />
We've purchased 5+ beds in recent months for Fitz.<br />
<br />
I finally bought a waterproof bed and slipped it inside a Costco outside lining (he prefers the soft outside), and it's like Tobey knows. He hasn't peed on the bed since. Like I said ... what a jerk.<br />

Love watching them play sports. It's easy to get swept up in the excitement of watching your kid play. We try hard to keep it all in perspective. I want KT and Mo to have sport in their lives. I think it's important, and fun -- but, there is way more pressure on kids and families to play competitive sports then when we were young.<br />

Working from home has its perks. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Except for when it's hot and you have no air conditioning. It has been uncomfortably warm for almost 3 weeks now. When it's hot consecutive days like this, the house never gets an opportunity to cool down. </div>

Today I wrote a press release about a mushroom knife while a fan blew hot air at me. </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'll be honest, it was probably not the best work I have ever produced.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

This is especially difficult for my non-homebody KT who itches to get out and "do something." The days she is not in a camp/clinic during the day is seemingly torture for her. She is always sure to let me know about her agonizing state -- repeatedly.<br />

Mo on the other hand is fairly content playing with slime and watching YouTube slime videos in between doing her mom-mandated-stop-your-brain-from-going-to-mush curriculum.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Part of this "curriculum" is doing music daily. For KT, I never had to employ any type of requirement so I was a little worried about doing so for Mo this summer. To my relief she has taken to it beautifully -- and, has progressed immensely as a result. I can't tell you how much I love hearing both of them play and sing...</div>

This weekend is going to be a bear.<br />
<br />

10 a.m. Relay for Life event for Mo's teacher<br />
1 p.m. soccer match for Mo (in Goleta)<br />
3:30 p.m. soccer match for KT<br />

And, that's just Saturday. There are more games on tap for Sunday!<br />

Maybe someday I'll look back, my life a little slower and think -- wow, we were busy then. But, for now, I'm going to grab a gulp of air and head into the weekend!Beckyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12603610288075750816noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1076919593092370907.post-78487503660182755142018-04-18T11:05:00.002-07:002018-04-18T11:07:10.105-07:00dreaming of bread<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
