On A Positive Note

I hope everyone is staying home and staying healthy. What an unbelievable time we are living in right now. Most days seem completely manageable, but some days I question if I'm even going to make to the next🤔.

Despite this crazy, chaotic, some days memorable, other days questionable, and needless to say - an unforgettable period in our lives, I have managed to recognize some of the more positive things...in no particular order.

1. My kids can and do eat peanut butter every single day for lunch #noallergies #winning

2. After being a stay at home mom for the majority of the past 9 years, I was questioning if I was really ready to step back into my career as a teacher...it's only day 23 of this quarantine - but yup it's been determined, I am definitely ready to go back to work.

3. I think after all this, those parents who maybe didn't fully appreciate teachers or comprehend the full extent of what they do - will now perhaps have a change of heart.

4. My kids might actually start washing their hands on a regular basis. It seems absurd but I think it's actually become engrained in their heads...I don't even have to ask them anymore #whowouldhavethought

5. I've learned you can never watch enough Hallmark movies.

6. Apparently I can live without Tim Horton's coffee, but I can't live without alcohol.

7. On that subject...suddenly "teaching" - while also drinking coffee with Bailey's in it, now seems somewhat acceptable😜 Although I'm not condoning it ha!

8. I'm learning more about technology than I ever thought possible...and clearly my students know more than me ha!

9. All the Easter stuff at Walmart is pretty much marked down to clearance prices (and has been for the past couple of weeks)...when I made Easter baskets for my kids I was pleasantly surprised.

10. Running always has been and still is my only addiction...thank goodness it's a healthy one!
