It’s the end of the fourth week of homeschool. I can say with 100% certainty that it was much harder than I thought it would be.

Is It Over Yet?
I am exhausted. Yet, I feel like I’m getting nothing done. Today I realized that I couldn’t remember the last time I watered the plants. I’ve been keeping up with it really well up until a few weeks ago. Then I discovered my new weird ass succulent that looked like a dinosaur mouth and hadContinue reading “Is It Over Yet?”
Learning In The Time of Corona
The first day of school is August 17th. I told the kids this morning and it was met with groans and sighs. And more groans. Some of them mine. So on August 17th we’ll wake up and the kids will actually get out of bed before 9 am and they’ll sit at the kitchen table.Continue reading “Learning In The Time of Corona”
Crazy Covid Coaster
I Know, I haven’t written in a long time. Well I have written but I haven’t published it. Mostly because everything has been a rant or a ramble. I think too much of what I’ve read lately has been of that same anxious/afraid/angry thread and I don’t want to follow that crowd. My anxiety wasContinue reading “Crazy Covid Coaster”
School Survey
My son is still in Public School. He’s been doing pretty good at his work. As far as I know. I make sure that he does it but I’m sorry, I’m not checking it. Homeschooling my daughter fully, takes up most of my time. I’m coming up with her lessons and checking her work asContinue reading “School Survey”
The Never-ending Quarantine Story…
I have to check at least three or four times a day what day it is. Is it Monday? Is it Friday? Who knows or even cares anymore? Time seems to have become non-existent. Sometimes it’s as if Mother Nature is finally disciplining her children. “Slow the F**k down.” she seems to say. I amContinue reading “The Never-ending Quarantine Story…”
Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?
If I wasn’t The Hermitess before, I definitely am now. I chose the name for the blog because I felt that it fit me, a woman who was choosing to work at home in the middle of the woods, and trying to deal with extreme anxiety that made it really difficult to be around otherContinue reading “Quarantine Day…What Day Is It?”
Quarantine: Week 3 (Three hundred and forty five)
It’s nearly midnight and I’m finally able to write. The past few nights I’ve spent my usual writing time trying to plan out the next days educational adventures for double trouble (my two kids). I look for things that they can do while waiting to switch out on the computer and make sure that myContinue reading “Quarantine: Week 3 (Three hundred and forty five)”
A Hermitess’ Guide To Social Distancing
It’s been a little over a week now since all of this COVID-19 stuff got downright scary. Since social distancing become a part of the common vernacular. It seems like months. Damn. I mean it’s always been serious, but we went from an action movie where that one single action hero has to stop theContinue reading “A Hermitess’ Guide To Social Distancing”
Goodbye Public School
I sent in the letter of intent to completely home school my daughter today. It had been sitting in my Google docs for a while now. I’d gone back and forth on the idea and then I thought that we would maybe start next year, if my daughters grades hadn’t improved. Then COVID-19 hit andContinue reading “Goodbye Public School”
