Corona virus
Today we are
going to go on a walk after we finish our dld for the day. It is a very nice
day it will warm up good, but it will rain later. Everyone is outside so it is
hard to stay six feet. I am very bummed about soccer being canceled it feels
like an eternity of time till I get to play again on April 30th
hopefully it will be earlier then that though. My coach is not happy either.
Time for the walk.

ABBY Survives the Coronavirus! [based on the hit book series “I Survived”]
Chapter One
Today I am writing about the coronavirus and my life. My
soccer practices got canceled but on the other hand I still get to practice digitally.
I also got to be on the soccer video number 2. I got to do it with Hannah Kate
at her house. Her dad is the coach for u9 and a landscaper, so he made a wall
that went into the hill made to fit the soccer goal. It is a good set up there
in the front yard. They were able to do this because they bought their
neighbors property. I am not very happy that they canceled school for me. But it
is easier in all to do dld but you do not get to see your friends. So that is
the bad part about this dld. And that my birthday is going to be during dld. so,
I do not get to have an official birthday party this year so that is not good. But
it will work out I still do get to enjoy with my family. And I already got a
kick back it is where I can kick on a 2 by 10 board and it will come back to me
we also play wall ball on the kick back and soccer tennis those are some fun
games to pass time with my family and I enjoy playing.

Today started off normal with school and everything I went
to intramurals and then church. Today was the day when I got the news March
Madness was canceled for fans. I was upset because my friend Matthew was going.
That night the hawks played, and little did I know that was there last game for
a while.
Thursday, March 12th, 2020
When I woke up my mom tells me about the NBA and how it was
canceled. Apparently, Rudy Gobert was tested positive and the league wanted to
stay safe. Soon after Donovan Mitchell got it from Gobert. After school, I
learned that the MLB and some other leagues were postponed. I was mad because
the Braves started in less than a month. March Madness was fully canceled too.
That night I went to my Wood Elite scrimmage and that was our last one for a
while. On the way back home, I learned that school was canceled for two weeks.
No friends!
Friday, March 13th, 2020
Here is a hint, today goes along with the date. I went to
school and all my teachers explained how DLDs (Digital Learning Day) would go.
When I got home there was not a lot to do and boredom became reality.
Saturday, March 14th, 2020
Today started off boring. My sister’s soccer’s were canceled,
and I shoot hoops at the park with Matthew. Finally, at two o’clock we do
something. Even if its hiking we can get out of the house. When I get back
home, I play with friends then eat dinner.
Sunday, March 15th, 2020
Church is canceled. We watch online service, which is great,
but we don’t leave the house. Then my friends come and played, and little did I
know that was the last day for a while to play with two of them. While I was
playing my dad and his buddies took the railing of above the porch and took off
the window boxes. Our house looks a lot better.
Monday, March 16th, 2020
Today is the first day of DLD. I work tirelessly for about
4-5 hours and finally finish after what feels like an eternity. After I’m done,
I shoot hoops with my neighbor Will and learn my other neighbor is quarantined.
The world feels like it is shutting down. Stock Market is crashing as well.
Tuesday, March 17th, 2020
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! We had our traditional Lucky Charms
cereal. Then the fun was over and DLD time it was. After that we baked treats
and called Nana. We went on a walk and I played with my friends. For dinner we
had Tacos!
Wednesday, March 18th, 2020
Today was the same old same old with nothing do but play
outside or be bored. I had online RevStudents, my church, and DLD for hours.
Thursday, March 19th, 2020
Today started off the same but after dinner the Mahrs and
Esterlings came over for a desert and to play. It was fun and the rest of the
day was DLD and basketball.
Friday, March 20th, 2020
It’s Friday! While I was working my mom ventured out to
Kroger and Chick-fil-a and I ate fast food for the first time it about two
weeks! Not to mention we filled the fridge and pantry. The rest of the day was the
same though.
Saturday, March 21th, 2020
We had pancakes for breakfast and my dad went up to Lowes to
work on the house and then we had a normal day.
Sunday, March 22nd, 2020
Today we had virtual chruch and then another day of just the
same thing.
Monday – Friday
Not much so I combined the week which involved just mostly
work and playing outside.

Wednesday, April 22nd, 2020 – Coleson’s
birthday!!
Random quarantine memories
*Chloe’s class does a call on Microsoft teams every
morning. From 8:45-9 they are free to
just chit chat and talk about whatever.
And so the class has been hearing our cuckoo clock go off at 9:00 every
morning. Mrs. Shakespeare asked Chloe if
she would start the meetings – so now the pressure is on to keep the time right
on the clock. When the clock goes off,
Chloe’s class job is to say something along the lines of “it’s 9:00, mute your
microphones, it’s time to start our meeting”
I love it!! The clock has always
had a special place in my heart, and I love that everyone else seems to love it
too!
*I’m hoping I don’t burn myself out on a new favorite lunch
– Abby and I love to have peanut butter, honey, and banana. I toast my bread first and have it open face,
eating with a fork. Abby puts it
together as a sandwich. Sooo good. Since I shop on Fridays only now, we usually
have it earlier in the week. Even though
I buy two big bunches, our fresh bananas run out by Tuesday or Wednesday. I also usually have a scoop of raisins on the
side. Those keep longer but are still
yummy [at least in my opinion, and I’m the one doing the shopping, hehe]. And cookies.
Cookies have helped me get through.
Any cookie will do, but my first choice is the Keebler soft batch. Jessi made me some amazing birthday
cookies. And Mari wrote on the top of
the Tupperware “Happy Birthday Mrs. Amy.
Amy’s cookies, do not touch” They
know me so well :)
*Our days have settled into a routine pretty well. Coleson has been getting up pretty early to
run and/or read his Bible. I try to get
up around 7/7:30 and I like to start my day listening to one of the online
devotions from Revolution Church. They’ve been doing them on facebook live daily
at noon. Noon is not ideal with three
kiddos and a work from home hubby, so I watch them later. I really enjoy them. Each morning has been a different chapter of
psalms. The kiddos come downstairs
around 8/8:30. The further into this we
get, the later the girls have been sleeping.
Finally! More often then not,
Chloe would be awake when I would come in at 6:15 on school morning. Breakfast, schoolwork, sometimes the LA Times
crossword for me, computer work/billpaying/ typing things like this/ etc. Abby usually finishes up mid-morning. Chloe takes most of the day. Ryan is done by maybe 2:00. Most days we eat lunch together standing
around the kitchen island about noon.
Chloe has an afternoon call at 3:00, these are fun ones – show and
tells, mystery readers, sing-a-alongs, book cooks. We try to bike and/or run. Lots of yard projects. Dinner followed by a walk around the
block. Grandma has been reading to the
girls from Anne of Green Gables. Occasionally
playing Yahtzee over facetime with Ryan.
Xbox in the evening, the girls will watch Ryan or play Roblox on their
chromebooks. Or watch Love it or List it
on HGTV.
*Cherokee county sent a survey to parents, teachers, and I
think high school students [I know not middle school] about how the year was
going and one of the questions was about the end date. Taking into account our preferences, the
school board unanimously voted to end school on May 8th this
year!! I’m ready to be done. The county, schools, teachers have been great
about walking everyone through these digital learning days. Their emails almost always start with a
message about grace. Compassion over
convention. Super kind thoughts like
that, I love our community.
*Our state has been on a stay-at-home, lockdown that is
supposed to go through April 30th.
Not much is open, and we’re encouraged to stay home when at all
possible. We really haven’t been out
much at all. And yet now, the governor
has approved some things to open up on Friday [the 24th]. I’m not sure how this goes along with the
lockdown that’s still in effect?! Hair
dressers, nail salons, gyms, and what we keep laughing at is, in the list of
maybe a dozen things, it specifically says bowling alleys. Go figure.
We’ve joking that we’re going bowling Friday night, weird. Our plan is to pretty much keep on, same old
same old, until May 8th. With
digital learning and Coleson working from home, we’ll just do our thing and see
how this “re-opening” plays out. We do
occasionally talk about our hopes and dreams and the crazy places we’ll go as
soon as school’s out. We’ll have a four
month summer with a hubby who will hopefully be able to work from home still. Not sure how much we’ll really be able to do
in reality, but it’s fun to daydream.
Rumor is that the pools might not even open, the neighborhood swim team
was recently cancelled for the 2020 season.
