One minute I’m so thankful for this time I get to be home and spend with my family and then a few minutes later I feel like I’m just tired of everything and want things to return to normal. Many people I speak with are experiencing these same feelings as well.
Don’t forget, our children are feeling this way too. As parents, we have the responsibility to keep ourselves grounded and help our kiddos maintain their sanity! It doesn’t sound easy and, honestly, it isn’t. It takes patience and creativity.
At this point, many of us are just about out of patience and creativity! Well, I’m here to help!
