We are all scared.
The mom of a medically complex child.
The dad who can’t work from home.
The adult caring for their elderly parents.
The child who doesn’t understand why they can’t go to school or see their friends.

Confession Time
CONFESSION TIME.
This week was tough for me.
I don’t have a color-coded homeschool schedule.
We have not perfected a routine for our days.
My patience ran short too often.
I was cranky and not always fun to be around.
My kids had too much screen time.
Alone Together
I’m a homebody.
I’m an introvert.
You can even say that I’m a bit shy and sometimes avoid interacting with other people on purpose.
I am for sure #TeamSociallyAwkward.
But, guys. This social isolation is killing me. Only a few days in, and I am missing the world around me.
There is something about not being allowed to have contact with others that makes me crave it even more.
Scared, But Thankful
I am scared.
I’m scared, but I’m thankful.
I am so thankful for the medical professionals who are out there on the frontlines fighting this virus. I am thankful for their strength and bravery. And, I am thankful for their family members who are fearful for their loved one, but who selflessly share them with those in need. We couldn’t do this without you.
This Is What I Can Control
I’m struggling.
I was doing really well for really long, but now I can feel my wall crumbling just a little.
It is disconcerting to see our world turned upside down with all the changes happening around us. Things we couldn’t imagine happening just a few days ago are now a reality. Quarantined towns, schools and colleges closed, sports seasons postponed or even cancelled.
