Today in Coronavirus Quarantine Homeschooling it is Friday, the end of our second week at home, and -hooray- Pajama Day.
.
First Up, Mom checks in with work.
.
Next Up: After doing math all morning, ClaraJane video conferences with her actual school teachers.
.
In addition to his regular curriculum today, Gavin dabbles in electrical engineering.
.
Then he promptly gets online in time for a quiz game with his Spanish Class:

.
And –after an epic battle all afternoon– Daddy & CJ celebrate completing her perspective narrative writing assignment (which turned out awesome btw)!

.
Alas, we are now done with Week Two and Day 10 of Quarantine Homeschooling.
I can hardly believe how far we’ve come. I’m learning so much tech my head legit hurts.
I’m ready for a drink.
Drinks.
I’m ready for a drinks.
And *still* there are teachers lobbing in more “Distance Learning Material.”
And *still* there are “friends” who want to “share ideas of what to do with your kids while you’re hanging out at home.”
Hanging out.
“Hanging out.”
Where’s my drinks?

AT RISE: It is late morning on homeschool quarantine day #10. CJ is on the couch doing “Symphony Math” on her Chromebook. Mom and Dad are babbling incoherently about something or another, just like real life annoying grownups.
CJ: [Muttering quietly through clenched teeth.] How do you expect me to do this problem that requires listening with only one earbud working and you making all this noise!?
Mom: [Pauses.] Is she talking to us?
Dad: Hmm?
Both: [Look over at CJ]
CJ: [More emphatically.] How do you expect me to do this problem that requires listening with only one earbud working and you making all this noise!?
Mom: [Thinking of multiple solutions.] Is that something you want help troubleshooting or is that your way of telling us to be quiet?
CJ: [Cold stare.] It’s a rhetorical question.
Mom & Dad: [Look at each other, impressed. Dad shrugs. Mom exhales.]
Mom: Wow! All we have to do is nothing. Fantastic.
Mom & Dad: [Exchange a tiny kiss, and then SHADDUP.]

.
.
.
To the dismay of our kids, Hubsand and I gave it a go.
Woo-hoo!!
Who KNEW just a tiny bit of exercise could make such a difference?
Oh wait, everybody. Everybody knows that.
And I used to be an athlete too.
I just forot.
Either way, we are doing that AGAIN!
