Today is the first day of spring break for the boys. We didn't have plans to go anywhere but I was going to let the boys pick fun things to do. Maybe a painting class, parks, ice cream, you know, all things we aren't allowed to do right now. Except ice cream. We can and should still do that. I think I'm starting to go a little stir crazy in the house. We are so lucky that we have a backyard and hiking trails behind our house. Maybe tomorrow we should go hiking. We have done distance learning for 3 weeks now and have gotten in a routine. I think I'm feeling so off today because we don't have a routine this week and nothing to do outside of our house and yard. I made a goal list for both the kids and I with things we need to and want to accomplish this week. I've knocked a lot of things off my to-do list today in the way of cleaning. They sound like they are having a great time in the basement right now so I'm not going to disturb them by suggesting something else to do. I think tomorrow my goal will be to get them off IPads and doing something creative. It's also supposed to rain so a movie day would be nice. I hear that April will be the worst month and that the cases are supposed to peak within a week or two. They're suggesting that everyone stay home and not even go to the grocery store. I have a grocery delivery coming tomorrow evening but the milk Mike bought yesterday is sour and chunky, which means that if we want milk for the morning one of us is going to need to go out and get more. It's not even worth returning but what a pain! Anyway, I'm not feeling profound right now but wanted to get my thoughts written because it helps me process. At the end of every entry I'm going to write things I'm grateful for so I don't get in a pattern of negativity.
I'm grateful for...
My family
Beautiful spring weather
That Mike is still working and has a paycheck coming in, unlike so many people right now
