DAY 10

This is Peyton again today my mamaw thought  I should write about the super heroes that are helping.

I think the heroes are the mail man, grocery store workers,and doctors. And teachers.The mail man helps cause he can give letters to people at the hospital and others. Grocery store workers because they are cheeking stuff out for you to have a lot of food and toilet paper. Doctors cause they are testing people and give out masks. Teachers cause they are giving out things to do.
My mamaw is making masks for hospitals and they will help. make sore you are during something to help.

Our elementary school has been sending encouraging emails with links to activities to keep the kids busy. It is officially Home School Spirit Week. Today is Super Hero Day. Miss Nine decided to dress like a teacher. She wants to be a teacher when she grows up, and this is how she dresses on every career day that they have at school. She could not bring herself to actually get dressed, so today she is a Home School teacher. I shouldn't toot my own horn, but home school teachers really are heroes. Classroom teachers are Super Heroes! When I home schooled my older kids years ago I developed a whole new respect for classroom teachers. Especially the ones who do it all without self medicating. Some days dealing with three kids was enough to make me a danger to myself or others. I can't imagine the self control it takes to navigate a herd of twenty-five or thirty.

And about those minimum wage workers who are keeping us fed, if they do not deserve a living wage after what they have endured through this, I don't know who does. I went to Kroger early yesterday morning, and a young girl was in the lobby with a spray bottle of sanitizer and a roll of paper towel. She cleaned the handle of every cart as customers came in to shop. My niece works at Kroger and she has put up with long hours, angry customers, and more over the last couple of weeks. These folks are Super Heroes.

Doctors, nurses, emergency personnel all deserve a medal for navigating this unprecedented fiasco. Politicians who can't find their own ass with their own two hand, they deserve to be voted out of office with no lifetime pension. Just sayin'.

Today Miss Nine worked on Everyday Math for half an hour. She did some more jar painting and watched animal videos. She face timed with her bff and we read some more of Little House in the Big Woods. She cleaned her room and organized her clothes.

Organizing is a great stress reliever, if you don't already know it. Organizing has become my drug of choice. When things are out of control, you control what you can. I cleaned out my bathroom cabinets and drawers first thing this morning. When I heard that Governor Whitmer had ordered us to stay at home for at least three weeks I started working on my bedroom. My house is likely to be super clean and organized when this is over.

Keep calm and organize your silverware drawer. It's almost better than a glass of wine.
