Ok seriously...how are
y'all doing this?? Does anyone feel like we are wearing so many hats that
there simply isn't enough time in the day?
I am still working from home and still have no idea when that will
change. However, I am now also my daughter's teacher. Our school
districts virtual schedule expectations were just too much for me to do while
working so we decided to pull her and are now homeschooling. It allows us
much more flexibility in scheduling.
With that being said, it also feels like I am being burnt at every
end. I had always thought homeschooling would be a great option if I was
a stay at home mom. I would daydream of the field trips we could take and
the projects we could make. Well, reality is not the same folks. I
have a 40+ hours per week job. How do you fit field trips into
that?
Being home all day every day, you would think my home would be
spotless, right? Wrong again my friends. When is there time to
clean? Heck, I am lucky if I get to eat. Shower?? What's
that?? That is a bit of an exaggeration but not by much.
It's very strange to see how much life has changed in the last 6
months. And to ponder the future is also crazy. Will most office
jobs ever go back to the office? Or after 6 months running this way, have
they witnessed that it is sufficient enough to keep it this way? Nobody
really has the answers to that. We just take it one day at a time.
One mess at a time. One meal at a time. One homework assignment at
a time. Keep on keeping on mamas. We are all in this
together. Check in on your friends and family. Send them a coffee,
or heck, a bottle of wine. Until I find time to write again my
friends....
