This week was another busy week. Monday was Caitlin's Birthday so we took the day off of work to hang out. We drove out to Medina Lake just to see something different. We didn't get out of the car but it was nice to just get out and drive around. We also took Emma to the Orthodontist in the morning to get her braces taken off. She looks so grown up and mature without them now. On Wednesday both girls had to go back to the Orthodontist. Emma got her retainer and Caitlin got her braces adjusted. It looks like Emma will get her braces on the bottom in 2 or 3 years.
Yesterday we had a family movie night which was fun. We watched one of my favorite comedies Raising Arizona and then watched In Time. The girls liked In Time but weren't too excited about Raising Arizona. I think next up will probably be Apollo 13 and Speed.
Other than that, not a lot new to report. Emma is enjoying her online summer school. I'm not sure how much longer she has but she seems to be enjoying it so far. The school district has said that they will be doing online school until after Labor Day. After that, they will probably open up classes in person for those who want to go in. We'll be keeping the girls at home for online learning. The situation with the virus is a mess and we've now passed 70k cases a day for a few days last week in the country. 39 states are reporting increases in cases and several states are reaching capacity in their hospitals. We have 50 states trying to run 50 different plans and it's just not working. We need a national response for this but at this point, I just don't think that's going to happen. With fall coming and flu season coming with it, I honestly think that 100k cases will be the norm before too long. As for us, we're going to do whatever we have to to take care of ourselves. If the schools are forced to open for in person only classes, we will be turning to home schooling the kids. We'll sell my truck and pay off the house so we can live on 1 income if we have to. When it comes to the lives of the kids, we're not taking any chances. I hope everyone is staying safe and wearing masks if you have to go out.
