Homeschooling

-


Hello coffee lovers,
I know lately, it has been insane and emotional. I will tell you I feel sorry for all those poor lives lost and scared for those who are still fighting to stay alive, my heart goes out to you completely. I am to discuss something else that many people are dealing with at the moment as well which is home-schooling.

 I bet by now you might have had at least two cups of coffee am I right?  Today was my first day of homeschooling with my child and I might add I tried to figure it out beforehand so I can be prepared. I thought I had it in the bag or at least enough to do my work with no problem. Boy was I wrong.


 First off I woke up at 8:34 am and I didn't wake up my child until 10 minutes after. We started on the computer at about 8:50 am. Just to find out we were supposed to log in at 8:20 am. I felt as it should have been at least at 9am being that it is brand new to us. Throughout the day it just got harder trying to figure out what work needs to be done and how to get it done. We could not print out because our printer is out of service and so I thought I can open on my Microsoft. It opened but I could not edit so he can put his answers in. I then decided to use google docs, which worked but then my 8-year-old son had to draw as well for his class. I had to find yet another application on my computer just to do that and then find a way to save it and put on his google document classwork.

 I spent most of the day on his work and helping him because unlike me he is not computer literate. He is one of those children who rather run around and go outside and enjoy every second of the day. I enjoyed that so much because most children are about being in games and in front of computers.

 besides that, he has an older brother of age 15 who also had trouble with getting in his class. We had to call his doctors just to get help. It was a hard first day for us all. Mind you I know very well about computers and there were so many times I wanted to just give up but I refuse to show my kids it is ok to give up because it's not. We finally did our work for the longest day of our lives.

 Afterward, my head just had so many questions. I was able to help them today because I had off. What about tomorrow? How was I going to work and know my kids were going to be up on time and do their work without giving up? At school, there is grown-ups/staff to make sure they are on point and doing their job. I also had in the back of my mind I am also restarting school online tomorrow as well. How can I take care of my kids to help them in their work and cook and clean and also be a student, plus a coworker?

 This is so overwhelming I started even thinking about other parents and what they are going through. What if they don't know computers as we think. All theses kids can fail because they do not have the support they need or if they do have the equipment yet have no knowledge of how to use it. If you made it through the day without any problems I give it to you because I didn't.Tomorrow is a new day lets see how it goes.
Until next time talk to you Latte! ☕☕☕

Recovering addicts, Can they really be helped?

Hello Coffee Lovers, Today, I was drinking my coffee. As I was enjoying my drink, watching a show called (The Resident), I am pretty sure many people are familiar with it. I found it while strolling on Netflix.Of course, it's no Grey’s Anatomy. Somehow it had a way of catching my attention. I am discussing this with you because a few of the episodes were about being addicted to one thing or another and trying to help them. I feel as though anyone happened to know one or even has been through it yourself. Today, of course, it may be a bit easier to get help with the many programs they have now. They also have online help and video chatting.Now, my question to all my readers is, do you believe that those who are addicted to drugs or drinking. Can they be helped? The statistics show that eventually, they will fall off the wagon.I must admit that many people try really hard to change,but the percentage of Relapse is Between 40% and 60%. When you think about those scary static ...

Hello coffee Lovers, The conversation we are about to have is very deep and very informational at least to me and I hope to you readers as well. I suggest you grab your coffee closer to your lattes steamer and espresso shots that will keep you going through this. Get ready and let's talk about what most of the world has. Anxiety. Everyone is scared of this word and to be honest ist so natural these days. I have my own story to tell how I didn't know I had it until my younger 20’s. I was stressed out about my job. I just quit it because he was a true womanizer. I couldn't take any more of it. I quit and while thinking about it on the way out I thought about my past and I thought of things I could have been, I got in my head so much by the time I got home my heart was beating right out of my chest. I felt light headed and I couldn't breathe. My heart started to beat faster and i felt myself locking up.Not being able to move.I was on my bed just thinking thats it. I a...

Hello coffee lovers, I have been drinking coffee for a very long time, Since maybe the age of 10. Knowing that I can drink coffee and still think about my past, we know that the past has a way of alway being in the back of your mind. Like I remember drinking coffee at 6am in the morning with my stepmom and playing Mario Bros. Some memories go away or you forget but some memories of the past you cannot forget. Let's Talk about victims in young ages who can’t forget their past even if they wanted to. Abuse is a word that carries a huge amount of weight, yet it's one of the many people who struggle to fully understand until they've experienced it firsthand. For too long , I kept my story hidden, wrapped in a blanket of shame,fear and uncertainty but today ,I'm breaking my silence. This is my journey from victim to a survivor ,and I hope that by sharing my story,others who have faced similar struggles will find the strength to speak out and seek help. Abuse can take m...
