Day 5: 3/20/20

I survived a full work week with kids at home. I think it went well overall as long as I assigned activities and give them a strict schedule. Next week will definitely be an interesting one as kids start remote learning.

My goal is also help any working parents if I can. I blocked an hour today to help entertain kids while parents work. This is truly a difficult time for all parents. Us parents are working 12hrs a day now if we can even get more time in a day I think most parents be happy. So to all the parents out there and including myself, please pat yourself on the back for doing such a hard work. Allow yourself have some drink time when kids asleep.

So today’s virtual art session I led was to make a rainbow (I read somewhere on FB that someone started this as a symbol of hope and simply put this rainbow on your window for anyone walking by to see). The bright color does lighten my day. It was a great idea and indeed fun for kids under 10 years old. I asked the kids to be creative with their rainbows. So here they are:

Beautiful rainbows from these kids

Since it was a beautiful spring day (almost 80 degrees), I ended work slighly early to take the girls out for fresh air and scoot around the neighborhood. Everyone remember that we all need fresh air and exercise!

Nice weather for a neighborhood walk/scooter

With virtual learning and socializing now, alot of people are starting to adapt using video conference like zoom, google hangout, etc to talk to one another. I am super glad that we have this technology now else we be super bored.

Hope everyone have a wonderul weekend. Stay healthy and be safe!
