Ok, so it is the end of week 1 in quarantine for me due to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak. Being the introvert and homebody that I am, I thought that being quarantined would be easy peasy. But now that I am at the end of my first week stuck at home I have a feeling that the next weeks to come are going very long ones. The first few days were great, felt like a much needed long weekend. I worked on my blog and started a twitter page for it. Schools are closed so I've turned into my little brother's homeschool teacher, we spend probably a good hour on his homework packets every day. And it's a real struggle to keep him focused, half the time we don't get through the whole packet before he's completely lost focus and I've completely lost patience. After homework comes lunch, and then all 3 of my brothers are allowed to play videogames.

Lately, I've been playing Minecraft with my brothers, we started a new world, invited our cousins and other friends to our server and together worked on expanding and already built village into a city. Everything was going, good our village was prospering and we were all having fun. Then I decide to go exploring further into a cave near the village. In the end that little expedition gets me lost in a cave for 3 days, and I'm not talking Minecraft days, 3 REAL-TIME days! Well since we only played about 2 to 3 hours a day lets say I was lost for about 8-ish hours, however, 8 hours for us is WEEKS in Minecraft. on the 3rd day lost in the cave, I was desperately trying to find an exit, but all I was doing was running around in circles. I was going crazy, running out of supplies, my inventory was full of Redstone, iron, coal, gold, lapis, etc. luckily I wasn't carrying any diamonds, because in the end I lost my footing and fell to my death. I was so mad, all that hard work collecting that stuff, just to lose it at the end? I quit not long after that, lol. Anyways, I've started getting bored of doing the same thing over and over again. And I'm not ready to play Minecraft again just yet, the wound was a little to deep this time, lol. I don't know what to do with myself anymore! I love my family but they are starting to drive me crazy, lol. How are the rest of you faring with your quarantine? Any ideas to mix things up so you don't fall into a boring cycle? For those of you who have young children, how do you keep them focused and learning during these times? I will take any suggestions.
