How does time pass? It’s odd to me!
Just a week ago, I was with my students, teaching.
Just a week ago, I was working on the next week’s lesson plans.
Just a week ago, I got an email saying school is cancelled through April 6th.
Just a week ago, it felt strange leaving school and heading into the unknown.
Just a week ago, I was stressing over having 40 people at the house for a birthday party.
Just a week ago, I was talking about summer plans.
Just a week ago, I was almost looking forward to the time to work from home and get stuff done around the house that would normally not get done.
Just a week ago, I told my mom, “See you tomorrow.”
It’s been a week since I have been with my students.
It’s been a week of planning e-learning for my students and checking in with them.
It’s been a week since I have had social interaction with anyone other than my husband and kids.
It’s been a week of hoping that we can get to the neighborhood pool this summer (and wondering if I should even buy a pool pass this year).
It’s been a week since I have been home and nothing has gotten done.
It’s been a week since I have seen my mom, my sisters, my nieces, and nephew. We are a close family and this is the most difficult part of all of this for my kids and me!
Craziness of Being a Kouts 
Such a strange, long, hard week. I thought I would accomplish a lot, and I really haven’t. And like you, I miss teaching and miss my family, especially my 86-year-old mom, who is basically in isolation in her apartment at the senior living center. I’m looking forward to the end of this!

It is such a strange feeling to feel so disconnected from the ones we love and care about!

It’s so hard not to be with family. It takes self discipline!
