I have noticed something very strange about my behaviour. My husband continues to work as normal (but working from home), my son is home schooling as well - beautifully organised by his school and so requires only a small amount of input (I'll get back to that).
This means that during the week the house is a hive of activity first thing - as alarms go off and people get ready for their day as they would do normally. I'm the first person up, I have a coffee and get dressed so I can be ready to make sure my son is ready for his day.
Once school and work has started I rush around the house getting it back to square one, ready to be messed up again. Then I think what I'm going to achieve for the day - A blog; learn something; create something; finish a chore?.......... (Let's face it, right now the list ISN'T endless, but I can dream).
Then we get to the weekend - after a hard week the rest of the family take their foot of the pedal... and I do too. Happily staying in my p-j's, slurping coffee with little or no plans for intelligent activity.
Curious huh? That said it has helped create a small level of normality in my otherwise upside down world.
On the subject of upside down - this week I have cabin fever, I'm literally desperate. I want to challenge my brain, have a purpose, go somewhere else - I'd love to see my parents. I want to know what the future is going to be like.
I'm a control freak and I'm driven by achievement - right now you can't control the unknown and you can't strive to succeed in something that is intangible.
If you know one of those people ignoring government advice and thus extending this whole thing tell them to STOP IT RIGHT NOW. Your making it worse for the rest of us that are trying to do things right.
OK mini meltdown over (for now).
GUESS WHAT - this morning my son got stuck with some maths and I.............. helped him............... I know............. I'm terribly proud of myself!!!!! (little things).
