Covid 19 Day 1, no school

Actually yesterday, March 16 was our first day at home.  Anyway, I fully intend on blogging almost everyday during this fiasco we call Covid 19 that has literally shut this country down. As of today kids are out of school until at least March 31.  Restaurants and bars in Illinois are shut down and social distancing is the word of the day, week and probably month!  People are hoarding toliet paper like their life depended on it but not my sister.  She got resourceful and made sure her family had plenty of T.P.
Notice what our glasses say.  I am thankful for a couple of things right now: First my family appears to be healthy.  Second my boys are older.  They are better at entertaining themselves and being self sufficient in getting their schoolwork done (even though it was a bit of a challenge with Nick).  Third Jay finished his E-learning today and spent the rest of his day working with Mike.  Fourth Jay got a job offer today, something I did not think would happen given how the country has come to a stand still.  The challenges today revolve around Nick.  He was frustrated with the directions or lack thereof for his E-learning.  He complained incessantly.
It's just such an odd time in our history.  We went from a roaring economy to a recession in a matter of one week.  Life as we know it is pretty uncertain right now but one thing I know remains is God is still in control.
