I am a teacher. I make amazing lesson plans getting middle schoolers engaged and successful in math on a daily basis. I can scaffold and differentiate like no one else.
Confession: I am struggling trying to teach my 6 year old one on one. I am bored, he is bored, I am ready to throw in the towel and have a Mario kart challenge all week instead. I downloaded abcmouse (boring) and adventure academy (“can not connect to server”) to be my savior, but they have failed me. I am telling myself he was way ahead when schools closed, so missing a few months is no big deal and we will just bake cookies and it will be okay. |

I've realized how much I need to push myself when I have no outside motivation to get things done. I struggle with mild depression and anxiety but lead a very happy and productive life because I have no choice not to take DS to things, get together with friends, etc. Sitting at home not being able to do anything? I'm having a hard time motivating myself to work out.
Plus I'm a nurse, so I'm already stressed and overworked and all I want to do is sit around The one good thing is that it has reinforced how amazing my husband is. |

I've realized I'm so much healthier when working from home.
First of all, I eat less at lunch and typically work right through when I would normally have a Larabar each morning if I was at work. It must be because in my head, I know I'm at home and can pop in and get a snack in a moment's notice if I need to. Also, I've taken my hour lunch each of the days I've been home to work out. I don't do that while working because it's too much 'work' to get cleaned up and re-presentable for the day after working now. But from home? Pfft, my dog doesn't care if I'm a little stinky for a few hours. Also, being able to work outside on my deck last week when it was in the 70s was amazing! Working in an office IS terrible. I just never really realized it until now. And yes, OP, I'm watching TV while working. I'm cleaning up my DVR like crazy! Finally watching those old Beverly Hills 90201 episodes from last summer. |

My work laptop is open so I can keep an eye on emails but I'm using my personal laptop to surf and am watching Grey's Anatomy reruns. It's 9:35 in SF, I just finished breakfast an hour ago and am already considering having a snack or making banana bread. |

I washing and moisturized my face, and brushed my teeth. That's it. Still in the nightgown I wore to sleep, with a sweatshirt over it. Hair is in the ballerina bun I wore to sleep. Glasses, because why bother with contacts. |

I caught DH in the act of reaching into his candy stash, which i was not aware existed. I may have overrreacted a smidge.
Anyone else getting “Flowers in the Attic” flashbacks here?! Aside from the sib-on-sib action that is |

I’m a teacher and not teaching my three kids that are home. Bigger issues right now in the world. I don’t even care if my students do the packet. If you put your name on it and turn it in, you get full credit |

I cracked open a beer at 11am this morning. Didn’t take a shower until 2pm. Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

| I was in a video conference call in my underwear but had a nice blouse and a blazer on top! My hair looked ok on the front, but I really didn’t brush the back. I watched 2 episodes of M Maisel, because all of this is kind of depressing. |
