Here’s the thing…..
I was FULLY expecting this homeschooling, stay at home, quarantine life to last a while.
I’ve seen all the other states one by one canceling school for the remainder of the year, and I’ve literally just been waiting for us to follow suit.
I’ve seen the other states extending their stay at home orders to June and knew ours was/is coming.
When the announcement came for Texas to cancel school through May 4th, I was hit with big feelings.
I found myself tearing up letting my son know we’d continue school at home for April.
I found myself taking control of the things I could control, like a swept and mopped floor. A fridge cleaned and ready for tomorrow’s H-E-B curbside order. Perfectly scrubbed countertops.
Finally, when my husband asked if I was ok if I needed help, I broke down. Unsure of why the tears were flowing so freely.
We decided it was time for some family sunshine, so a walk and a short family roblox workout was just what I needed.
I can’t control this dang virus, I can’t control the amount of time that life will be lived primarily in our own home.
But I can control healthy doses of sunshine, I can control time spent together doing things that better us as individuals and as a family.
I know I’m not the only one that feels some kind of way about these new announcements today, to the momma reading this that is at her wit’s end and is feeling big feelings let me send you a {virtual} hug!
