Coronavirus - Shelter In Place

As of right now we are technically on day 15 of Socially Distancing but also day 3 of Shelter In Place. This means you're not allowed to do ANYTHING except hit up the pharmacy or grocery store. It's extremely eerie when I do our grocery store run and the shortage of toilet paper has people on edge. Almost apocalyptic with the silence and people in masks and glove avoiding one another like everyone else has the plague. US just surpassed all other countries with total reported cases and schools were just pushed back to April 20th although lots of experts say we could be in this for a couple-few more months. We will get our official school work for Drew Sunday evening and already have guidance for Ady. Mentally I'm completely all over the board. One minute I feel like I'm nailing it and the next I start uncontrollably crying and feel a panic attack coming on. There has been yelling and hugs and time outs and laughs. It's a complete roller coaster and I've ALWAYS said I wasn't cut out to be a stay at home NOR a homeschooler. But, here we are with the rest of the world. There are MUCH worst situations so it's hard to complain but it's just. so. darn. hard. I'm trying my best but this is the most stress I've ever been under in my life. Trying to keep all 3 occupied, let along doing school work and learning something feels like an impossible feat. I've hit some minutes of depression but running and walking has kept me sane for now. I'm focusing on the silver linings like the weight I'm losing from working out so much and the relationship between Ady and Drew along with all the family time. Ady even took her training wheels off her bike and is doing awesome with that! Drew learning how to play monopoly and did really well and is keeping his chess up by playing with Grandpa and friends. We have a wonderful house (and in an awesome neighborhood), a full pantry and our health.
