Re: Taking the plunge

So cool about the lego challenge and the new blocks @CheerBear! 😄 Looks like a great collection in the pic 🙂

Re: Taking the plunge
Good luck with your home schooling @CheerBear
The kids here have only just started their holidays but have been home 3 weeks prior. Its been quite challanging to say the least but id expect many parents carers and teachers and kids too would be finding these times quite difficult t o navigate. Hopefully within the next few weeks the kids will be allowed to start going back to school again

Re: Taking the plunge
They have until mid July off from school @outlander which is bonkers. I am finding it hard to wind down tonight, probably because I am thinking about it.
You're up late (I think?). Are you OK?

Re: Taking the plunge
Thats crazy @CheerBear
We havent got a timeline yet but we know when holidays are over the first 2 weeks will be online. The premier here made mention of discussing school abit closer to when they are suppose to goback but they'd def be off in the first few weeks to start with.
Hopefully if numbers get lower and stay lower and more recoveries theyll allow the kids in your state to go back sooner then july.
Im usually up late just havent been online much latley. Its just one of 'those' sorts of nights i guess, ive put a movie on for now.
Is there something you can do thatll help you wibd down abit?

Re: Taking the plunge
I highly doubt we'll go back before term 3 @outlander. They've been very clear about term 2 being remote. School hols are all over the place as far as when they've started and ended around Australia this time. They started here 2 and a bit weeks ago, though were brought forward nearly a week. My kids had the week before off too so they've been home for four weeks already. It will be 17 weeks if it goes to term 3 (not that I have counted :face_with_rolling_eyes:). It is tough for parents and kid carers. Nothing we can do to change it though.
Sorry you're having one of those nights. They suck. Is the movie any good?
I don't know about winding down outlander. I'm sure there's plenty I could do but right now it's like a buzz in my head. I might put some random youtube something on to see if it can quieten the buzz.

Re: Taking the plunge
Thats a long time @CheerBear
As much as we love them, sometimes school is respite for parents too.
Im watching Sing-the kids movie. I think ive watched it 100 times now but its the closest and easiest to get without disturbing pop.
Ill be up for a while yet if chatting helps at all

Re: Taking the plunge
School is definitely respite @outlander, and time for me to do the things I need to do to keep the house going and to keep myself going. This long at home like this is overwhelming to think about at times.
Sing is a good one, though I too have done my fair share of Sing watching. Nice, happy one for you.
I am giving myself 15 minutes to settle and if it doesn't happen I will take something to make it happen 👍
Thanks for the company. Its nice to catch up with you. Sending you big love. I can only imagine how hard it's been/is for you 😘❤

Re: Taking the plunge
Yep i feel much the same @CheerBear i help with lots of the school too. It gets overwhelming just by presence sometimes even though its not intentional more just that we need some breathing space to do our own thing too.
Hoping you might be tired enough to sleep before meds come out but at least there an option 🙏
Goodnight CB, thanks for the chat sending love to you too 💞🌻

Re: Taking the plunge
@CheerBear Wow, that’s is a splash of colour. Really love the colours. LEGO looks good too.
I’ve just read through last night. It’s rough. We all know it’s unpredictable, strange, weird, but it’s the moment to moment, day after day stuff. The never ending ness of it all. A small house becoming school, with no respite in sight . I really am so sorry. I so wish there was more I could say or do. But, listening and really hearing the hardness of it all. Sending 💛💛💛💛
I had a picture in my mind of you receiving school instructors through a locked gate. It’s bonkers for sure.
Today ..... I don’t know what to say. School at home, challenges.... It’s really is tiny tiny steps, one at a time.
There was a bit of colour for me yesterday, but back in the bowling ally . There’s always someone or something, more than Willing to knock 10 down every time.
My first ☕️☕️ Is long gone. Heading to the kettle for a second now. Leaving one here for you later. 💜💜💜💕💕💕💕
@outlander Sorry it’s tough for you also. You are so grown up, with responsibilities beyond your years. A strange thing to say maybe. Sending lots of 💙💙💙💙💙
@TheVorticon Lots of 💜💙💕💕💕
@eth @Appleblossom and anyone else reading. 💕💜💙
