Weekly Wrap Up - The Week Panic Took Over a Nation

That's a great blog post title, but I'm sure there are those who will find it offensive.  However, that's what I see, is fear and panic being pushed down the throats of the American people.  Wash your hands, stay away from sick people and pray for your family and for goodness sakes please stop listening to all the fear mongering.  Now onto homeschooling.

The weekend was pretty busy as usual.  Saturday was the belt testing at the jiu-jitsu studio.  The girls were there from 10am until 2:30.  The evening was pretty low key as we just watched movies and relaxed.  Sunday was regular church and then in the afternoon through 11pm Olivia went with the youth group to see Bethel Music in concert.

Monday was a pretty standard day.  The girls are pushing ahead on lessons and knocking their list out.  I finalized Lindsey's curriculum picks and placed the order mid afternoon.  After dinner I had a graduation committee planning meeting.

Tuesday was pretty typical as well, nothing overly noteworthy.  School, house work and jiu-jitsu were the biggies of the day.

Wednesday morning we got news that my younger brother (47) had a heart attack.  Lindsey had her early morning babysitting gig and I had my weekly church meeting at 7pm.

Thursday morning I was up and out the door early to do my weekly grocery shopping.  I was surprised at the strangeness of items out of stock.  Apparently in my city the panicked masses will be living off of heavy whipping cream, ramen noodles, frozen pizza, rice, beans and using way too much toilet paper, ahem.   I went to the hospital to see my brother and sit with his wife while they attempted a heart cath procedure.  The procedure didn't work and now he's looking at quadruple bypass surgery.  Lindsey's new curriculum arrived while I was gone.  Jiu-jitsu classes were held in the evening, but they then announced that along with everything else they'd be closing indefinitely.

Friday the weather here was incredible.  I opened all the windows and we did some deep cleaning and laundry.  Olivia finished up her government curriculum for the year.  She now only has health and Spanish left.  We also baked a pound cake and some cookies for a meeting I have here at the house tonight.

Blast From the Past

Today's flashback is to a co-op class project Olivia worked on back in 2015.  She created a lovely 3-d display of Heidi for the Literature Fair.

Have a good weekend.  Look for opportunities to spread peace not fear!
