Day 29: Get it Together
Last week was hard, y'all.
After a few weeks of home/crisis-schooling, I was looking forward to their official spring break. The plan was to take it easy, no real schedule, kids could do whatever they want so I could do the things I needed to get done. I got none of my things done. The kids seemed content to get their unlimited screentime. I was the one that needed the structure. I barely got through the first day without tears.
And yes, I know how privileged I am to even be able to process these "struggles." Not even close to the experiences my friends and family, especially those on the frontline, are going through. It feel frivolous to be "struggling" but the feelings are there and unavoidable and real.
Not sure there this is going, but this needed to be documented.
I am thankful for the super structured week ahead, tornado warnings (yes, really) and all.
