I just checked and I've been working from home since Feb 28th, so it's been 24 days since I've worked in the office. It's been 11 days since the kids officially got let out of school on March 13th. And, it's been 9 days since the kids have been out of the house, aside from walks outside in our neighborhood. I went out once, 8 days ago, to pick up medicine for Nora. I feel like we're doing our part to flatten the curve!
So, here's some more scenes of what our very boring daily life looks like. On the plus side, I really love spending so much time with the girls. It's fun that they hang out with us and snuggle up during the day. I've blocked off time on my calendar to check in with them at least 2x during the day, and we use that time to eat lunch or a snack, or check their "homework" or to play games or go scootering outside. Another plus is that happy hour can start anytime now and no one judges, haha.
On the downside, it's hard to feel super productive at work while trying to make sure the kids learn something, run a cafeteria and after-school program and not be an exhausted mom at the end of the day. I'm beyond thankful though that we are all healthy and safe, and that my boss, team and Microsoft in general have been so supportive throughout these weird times.
Hope everyone else is staying healthy and sane!
