I know we're lucky to have job security, etc. etc. but still it's just rough every day. We just moved in the fall to a place on a much smaller property, so there's not even the big yard and woods we used to have to get kids outside easily.
Don't get fired is my advice to you.
That is impossible. Wife is doing same thing, with kids the same ages, without working and she is getting her ass-kicked some days. I've been working a bit less to help her out.Quote:

(she normally works btw)
Yeah it's bad especially because kids have so much EXTRA energy from being cooped up without socializing or running wild with their friends. It sucks but I just try to reassure her that it's fine if school work has to take a backseat and you just have to let them veg out at the tv more than you'd like - you just have to do whatever you need to so you can get through the days without going totally mental. I try to keep the kids out of her hair once I get home so she can actually focus fully on work for a while but just long days all around.Quote:

You need to get them little weight vests. Put them on the minute they get out of bed in the morning, and don't take them off unless you're giving them their weekly hose-off on the back porch or they're going to sleep. It will slow them down and they'll be so yoked by the time school finally starts again they'll never have to worry about being bullied.Quote:

Sadly, that's damn accurate.Quote:

Same here no refunds yet. I'm sure they want to attempt to offer some very limited baseball season so they can keep the cash. I figure I'm out $400 for baseball and lax. Kid got a sweet lax sweatshirt..lol. that's not including equipment costs.Quote:

I figured folks would be chomping at the bit after being sheltered in place for weeks. We haven't even had a new case in our city in over three weeks, so the risk seems pretty low to me. I guess it's just going to take time. Not for me, fuck it, I'm sick of this shit.
So clutch. Adult energy, too.Quote:

And I think montana is a bit different scenario then most places. I'm working in your county and the county where I live has had 0 confirmed cases as far as I know( not that montana has had a whole lot of tests..). I did see one of the military planes fly over us toward great divide after what I later heard were flights over all the hospitals to honor our healthcare workers.
So I guess I didnt really have a complaint other than going to work and not grabbing beers.
I grabbed beer, got up above my valley and watched planes. It was a nice break in the day. Super crowded. Even a Karen who everyone wanted to smack.

Ha, just ordered my kids a trampoline last week and it was hard to find one that I could get delivered sooner than later. Selling out all over the place.
Sorry, man. If it's any consolation, I'm down to every other day for 20 minutes, and no flips.Quote:

Oh yeah, forgot about your vertigo issues. I have been spending a lot of time on it double bouncing him to the moon.Quote:
