Comments on: Mom’s Log: Day 219 of the Rona Meltdown, Both Maddening and Funny https://storiesofourboys.com/2020/10/22/moms-log-day-219-of-the-rona-meltdown-both-maddening-and-funny/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=moms-log-day-219-of-the-rona-meltdown-both-maddening-and-funny faith, family, and travel Fri, 30 Oct 2020 02:39:10 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.8.3 By: Leslie Susan Clingan https://storiesofourboys.com/2020/10/22/moms-log-day-219-of-the-rona-meltdown-both-maddening-and-funny/#comment-23755 Fri, 30 Oct 2020 02:39:10 +0000 https://storiesofourboys.com/?p=14703#comment-23755 So glad you woke up to a better day and feeling better about things. I truly fluctuate between being stark-raving mad and content to be home to work on projects, like your husband. But my city, El Paso, is in a state of emergency and every day is scarier than that one before. No end in sight.

I worry about what my granddaughter is or isn’t learning in 5th grade. She missed at least a third of fourth grade to this virus. She is very much a loner and this is making her more so. I hate it for her. She has seen other children maybe a half-dozen times in the past 200+ days. Cady is now back in school but it is wiping her out after 5 months of home schooling. Our poor babies. Our poor babies moms and dads!!

Oh, agree, about perfect looking produce. How is that a thing anyway? Having a garden again still feels like a long off goal for me. Someday.

Wow. Love the drink hiding, food marking and paper army making. Sounds like it’s survival of the fittest around there. Better find some extra food hiding spots, just in case. Just think – there’s less than 70 days in 2020 remaining. “I think I can, I think I can…”

Turning in those virtual assignments sounds like a nightmare – for y’all and the teachers, too, I’m sure. I’m also assuming no two teachers do the same way, either. Sheesh. At least the Misfit Market is working out – that sounds neat! All our garden produces is misfit looking vegetables – I don’t know how anyone finds anything to sell at regular grocery stores, ha!

I’m so glad you got to go back to church!! We try not to worry too much either. I still miss Alabama though. The older I get the farther away it feels. Amen to what you said! We will make it.

I don’t mind spending lots of time at home but I i miss seeing friends. We have lost several friends during this time and we can’t go see the family. That is very sad. When this is over we will be busy going to memorial services. We are going to church most Sundays and recently started SS again. Everything is sterile, we wear masks and social distance so we try not to worry too much. It is wonderful to see real people again. I know WHO is in charge and trust HIM to get us through this. I do pray for all people—-especially those of you with children and the crazy school situation. WE WILL MAKE IT WITH GOD’S HELP. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻 Bibby

My kids are gradually going back 1 day per week, and I’m like yes! I will take it. Lol. Yes, I could totally hide under all the rocks.

To Caleb’s artwork and sneaking mini Cokes in the garage. And the snack hoarding, of course.
We got Misfits Market up here. It’s awesome!

Our town voted on a hybrid model coming soon, which seems as confusing and ridiculous as anything right now. With the remote schooling, maybe soon to be hybrid schooling, and the holidays coming, and the election, it might be time to hide under those rocks the kids are hoarding. I want to!

I’m happy about your church being vigilant, by the way!
