So we got confirmation on yesterday that school will remain closed through the end of April. When I first heard the news I was a little devastated because I didn\u2019t want my kids missing out on instruction that long but after talking to two of my sons former teacher, I was at peace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m not sure if you have been practicing social distancing or if you are under \u201cstay at home\u201d orders but personally speaking; it\u2019s not as bad as I thought it was going to be!

We have been able to communicate and spend quality time together that if we didn\u2019t have this current pandemic I honestly don\u2019t think we would have made the time to just hang out and be a family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tell me what you think and how this has changed your everyday way of living. Comments welcomed below.
