I am a middle school technology teacher.
I have been working from home providing NTI assignments for my students since mid March, so it has allowed me to get more running in. In-person school has been cancelled for the rest of the year, but grades finalized, and curriculum for next year begins now, from home.
I am also canine mom/care…
I have been working from home providing NTI assignments for my students since mid March, so it has allowed me to get more running in. In-person school has been cancelled for the rest of the year, but grades finalized, and curriculum for next year begins now, from home.
I am also canine mom/caregiver to geriatric and disabled/health impaired dogs. We have a 3-legged maltese, a blind pug mix, a deaf pug, a cart-bound rat terrier, and several that are in the 15 -17 yr old range, as well as assorted other ailments that deem them unadoptables. I also wear the hat of wife, mother to 5, grandmother to 11. In addition, we also assist my 90+ yr old mother, going to grocery, mowing her yard, etc... My husband and I ¨tag-team¨ the dog-children responsibilities as we both work full-time.
I am fortunate that most of the time, I can schedule my runs after school, get a quick 30-45 minutes in during the week, and at least one run in on weekend. Sometimes its a struggle as often my school day is 10-12 hrs. Sometimes, if no sports are going on, I will change clothes from school and get a couple miles in on the track.
Fortunate or unfortunate, none of our children live near us, so we don´t have the grandparent babysitting concerns a lot of grands have. Of course, now, no one is visiting.
Some say we´re crazy! Just the crazy dog lady. When the kids went to college they determined they´d been replaced. Maybe why none every moved back home. lol

Running is my sanity saver!
You have a lot on your plate! Really interesting, especially now, to hear about the caregiving so many of us are doing. It's my sanity saver too!
