This morning, as Brady and I lay in bed and woke up slowly to an episode of “Life in Pieces,” a notification popped up on the laptop screen.
“Preschool helper.”
A small, but glaring reminder of how recently everything was normal, and how fast everything changed. There is definitely some grief that goes along with the shutdown, and all of the little things we’ve lost. Our normalcy was taken. I KNOW many people have things a lot harder than we do here, and I am so grateful to have a truly happy family that is doing well living together, day after day. Its not perfect, but its not unpleasant. But, our routine and our normal was ripped out from under us, and thats the undeniable truth for just about everyone.
I don’t have much to say on the subject, but it was a bit of a bizarre, surreal “Oh ya…” moment this morning. I can’t believe we’re doing this. A pandemic. I never even considered this happening in my lifetime or that of my children, but here we are, making history in a crazy way!
