SENIOR MOMENT 4 WOMEN

  https://www.nytimes.com/ I am going to be honest and say it,  This COVID-19 PANDEMIC  HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!  I was adjusting to the  "STAY AT HOME" advice  from the CDC. I do venture out once  a week to run errands and get groceries. I realized that was spending days on end wearing my drab & faded everyday clothes. I reserved my worn faded out jeans and tops to wear when I am staying at home. My business casual clothes and dressy clothes were to be worn when I eat  out at nice restaurants  or go to church.

This Pandemic has been  a true wake up call for many parents.  My husband and I  worked a full-time job when  my children  were young.  We had to adjust to   being  at home  with them all day on the weekends and during  family vacations. We had to count to five many  times  to avoid losing our temper.   I can not  imagine being at home with children  24 hours  a day, 7 days  a week for 4 months!  I hope the  parenting methods my husband and I used will help  some  parents during th is Pandemic! Rules were set for my sons when  they were home for school vacation. They had to make up their beds, and empty the trash before they could play outside. Our sons had to take turns washing lunchtime dishes. My sons were like piranas when  they were home for school vacation. These guys would eat every time  they got bored or came in from playing, Our groce
