MJ's little flock

[MaryJanet]

Corona virus concerns?

This morning I opened the henhouse as usual and four chickens piled out, turned around, piled back in. Self-imposed isolation?

Seriously, I shut the door after them because I thought they'd seen a predator that I hadn't. The henhouse is their safest space.

Yesterday, I felt like the only person in Australia who was happy when hair appointments went down to 30 minutes because I've been trying to convince my hairdresser that I want to be grey for about two years now. When she called to ask if I wanted to do a colour yesterday before the 30 minute limit came into force, I told her this was our chance to embrace the grey! She said that's awesome, seeing a positive in it. I was so relieved and happy!

First news story to hit my eye this morning: 30 minute restriction is lifted

Me, not so much. I still go to the grocery store every Saturday and do all of my work from home. What I buy, it appears the hoarders aren't interested in. Sue's working at figuring it out... She's working from home and working with parents who are now the "teachers." She makes assignments, passes along homework (goes to the office once a week to hand out) and is available throughout the day by phone and email to the parents. She found a meme the other day that was sooooo very appropriate... Kids have decided that their teachers aren't so bad, since their new teachers are mean!

That's so funny! I bet the tears are flowing in some homes.

Let's just say that Sue has gotten some interesting feedback from some of the parents. Especially those who don't think their child requires soooo much attention....

I homeschooled ~ youngest all the way through & she used to get so riled because school kids thought she did nothing all day but watch TV & play when she & I both knew she worked harder than they ever did! @ one stage she was doing 3 instruments, 2 choirs & an orchestra as well. She worked her butt off as her academics only took 1~2 hours to complete & her extras took up all her time.
