This new job just took me by surprise as I never applied for it, nor is it a job I want.
You can surely say it came out of the blue.
I actually shouldn't work at all. I'm chronic ill and I struggle to make things go around in my everyday life.
But there is a crisis going on and schools are all closed. So we all need to do our best.
I though home schooling ment teachers would have online programs and follow up with the kids. My bad. Mostly they give out tasks for the day and the kids have to study by themselves.
Since my kid has special needs it's not really working out. Probably not for a lot of other kids too
At school my kid has an assistant who helps him out.
I never actually liked school.
They don't do things the way we did. And it's PowerPoint, word document and annoying apps. That is impossible to understand and to use.
There should be added something here and there and recording sound files and God knows what... Calculate with x and y
Glaciers and history and science projects to try to understand.
It's ages since I was in school and I can't remember half of this. To be honest I did probably not pay very much attention back then.
The first week I spent more time on finding out what to do and how to do it than I actually managed to help my son with his work.
I wanted to cry.. I was so tired I had 2 extra naps a day. I learned my kid a hole lot of new swearing 🤬 words. So he actually learned something... I felt like an idiot most of the time... I pulled my hair and seriously thinking about throwing the computer out the door...
The only light in this is the one teacher who calls and help my kid very much.
This week the apps and other annoying stuff made a little bit more sense. But not very much
I'm still not a teacher. And I still hate to do school work.
But I do want to help my kid as much as I can.
And we are the lucky once as my kid only needs help for school work 👍 as I browse through the news I can read about families with disabled children who suddenly have absolutely no support at all. So I feel I'm a whining bitch while I think about when I last had a proper hot meal that wasn't hotdogs or frozen pizza 🍕 because when school is done I am out of energy.
I think we probably can grow potatoes on the living room floor. That is probably a good idea, as I don't have to go outside to pick them up... 🤣 🤣 🤣
But at least my kid gets a bit of school.
And he made this beautiful redesign from some old bottles. It made me really proud ❤️

I have tried to keep some sanety by trying to do all the fun prompts for mendmarch. Hosted by the fun and mendy
Kate @visiblemend over at Instagram.
Usually I like to write much more about my mending here but due to the situation you can check out my
Instagram or
Facebook page instead.
Adding a few pictures of what I was supposed to blog about
Gratitude for my hubby and all the other truckers that does a very important job every day but people first noticed how important they are now due to the crisis.
Text says without trucks, Norway 🇳🇴 stops
Here is an article about how important key workers are treated in this crisis. I'm ashamed.
Is this how we should treat key workers the article is in Norwegian
My sister got her dress repaired
Worst winter coat ever got a lot of new mends
Bugge for my hubby's shirt
My sister in her franken pants 👖
Spilling coffee ☕
Fixing dad's shirt
Very old and loved woolshirt
Crochet longer sleeves
Though I feel like I rather should clean..
But keeping sane is pretty important too.
Though I'm pretty sure homeschooling will kill me before corona...
I should have been outside making the garden ready for spring 🌷
I have piles of dirty laundry to do.
And I have been writing on this post for days, but I just keep falling asleep.
But it's important to keep positive right?
So I was very happy to see we have got lots of snow this morning.
Something I usually hate. But now it means I don't need to think about gardening for a while.
I lost several kg because I'm to tired to eat. That's really good as my clothes lately seems to have been shrinking in the wardrobe. If homeschooling keeps up for another month I actually might have a bikini body in June..
The deers have been really helpful too cutting back all our fruit trees and even a holy bunch and some rhododendrons too.
That is pure luck 🤞 🍀
I probably can leave the laundry for a while, with social distancing no one will notice my shirt has a stain from last week 🤣🤣🤣
And I can send my hubby to the store. He can just say he came straight from work if someone says he has dirty clothes.
I got to refresh my knowledge from childhood and the book they are reading in Norwegian is really good. I hope I will manage to get to the end.
But now I really need to have another nap.
Stay safe and stay home
