The week was a bit of a blur – ups and downs as usual, very busy, still exhausting. But tiny buds of green hope emerge as we all appear to be beginning to recover from the shock of all the changes…
Hello! How are you all going out there? I trust that you are managing day to day to adjust to your variation of “the new normal”.
For us, overall, I’d say this week was a slight improvement on last week. Not a huge achievement as last week was pretty chaotic! For most of the week It seemed as though at least one member of the household was crying, tantrum-ing or silently cursing. Thankfully, there were definitely more moments of calm this week.
I thought I’d go with a summary of things that worked for us this week and things that didn’t.
On Tuesday we pulled our two eldest out of school. The bible college which my husband is studying at put a pause on lectures and classes while they scramble to organise online lectures for next week, and we commenced our social isolation along with most of the country, trying to stay at home as much as possible – the five of us – in our two bedroom home.
