So many changes

Our Au Pair has opted to return home. This was a fast decision. She told us Sunday morning and was on flight out of the country by Wednesday. I can understand why this decision was made, but ACK!

With the COVID-19 virus, we are all working from home. The governor closed all schools for our state about a week ago. The day care also closed and will remain closed for some time. I also think we shouldn't use the day care and risk additional exposure coming home with the youngest.
We will miss, K.

Social Distancing for COVID-19

We are all stuck at home. It's a very uncertain time and the gravity of everything that is happening with schools closing, work places closing and required remote work. I hope that all of this makes a difference.

We are, obviously, doing a lot of cooking at home and I'm sure as the weeks wear on that this will become more creative.

Day 1 dinner was via Jamie Cooks It up Lemon Butter Chicken with a loaf of beer bread.

The schools closed for 6 weeks starting last Friday. I have been working from home since the first time big N's school closed for an active COVID-19 diagnosis.

The big kids are being good sports. Big N is hiding in his room after I suggested he work on some online math work. We will see if he comes around. Little N has been a huge help. The littles have a ton of energy. The day care closed, officially, Monday the 16th. We kept Little A out of day care on Friday when the announcement mentioned that they did not have enough staff. Big A is in kindergarten and out of school with the big kids.

We have an AuPair living with us and she is being a good sport. Her hours have significantly increased with all of us being home and I'm trying to balance out making sure she has some down time while I get my work done. Obviously, that's harder than I thought considering I am running sims in the background right now at 2:51AM.
