    I’m also going a bit nuts having all 3 kids at home, and not being able to go anywhere 😣. It’s made working out more interesting though, nothing like having a 1.5 year old climbing on you when you’re trying to do push ups etc

    @mizzmahem I have three little ones at home too! It does get insane. Now they try to work out with me... which is cute and all, but let’s be honest annoying as hell!

    Lol I hear ya. My middle child has a habit of getting into trouble, like you can’t take your eye off her for one second. So I have to get her and the youngest doing something, usually in the same room as me. They both try to ‘help’... it’s not helpful. Where in the world are you located? This is some crazy *kitten* going on eh?

    Ahahah I’m in Missouri! You? Yeah this has gotten out oh hand rather quickly. I was just saying to someone crazy how it feels what we had before this all happened wasn’t so bad after all!

    I’m in Ontario Canada, been keeping an eye on what’s happening in the US, I’ve got family in Arizona. You guys seem to be in a bit of trouble over there with all of this!
    Being an introvert, the whole staying at home thing hasn’t been too bad. But being a germaphobe... it’s been hell lol. The worst part has been trying to explain it to the kids. Middle child keeps asking when she’ll go back to school, and my oldest is freaked out about even going out into our yard.

    Explaining to the little ones has been so tough! They don’t quite understand.. I can’t wait for this all to at least just calm down a bit.

    Hello neighbor! I'm in Illinois lol I heard yesterday Missouri finally closed down all their schools for the year. They haven't done that in Illinois yet but I wish they made up their mind already. My kids are still hoping to go back which I find it weird because before this they hated school 😂

    Heyy! We are close! Yeah they did close it all down. Illinois has to follow suit I’d think... my kids were ok with the idea. I’m not so sure lol..

    Introvert here, so staying at home hasn't bothered me too much. But you can occupy your time with various activities, like puzzles, books, or crafting. Get started on that idea you had for a novel, learn a new dance from Youtube, or take on learning a new language. Clean up your shed or garage. Organize your pantry.

    My sons stay in touch with others by meeting in online gaming worlds.

    I’m still working...actually more than usual but it’s getting to me also. This home school thing after me working 12-17 hours a day is for the birds. There is a reason I never wanted to be a teacher. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    I’ll be WFH till at least the end of August. Let me tell you I am getting bored... don’t get me wrong, I’m thankful my employer is taking this seriously and most of all that I still have a job, but for once I actually wouldn’t mind seeing my coworkers in person! Ironically, work has been very busy but when my dog wants to play it’s hard ignore...

    Hope you’re all wearing masks in public, washing your hands, and staying safe!

    As a nurse on the frontline, thank you for staying home! I’ve been working more than ever, sadly, and getting my *kitten* kicked in the Covid ICU.
