Hubby set up his "office" at the kitchen table to work from home... College daughter was home to finish the semester on-line and couldn't even clean out her dorm room until a couple of weeks ago... High school son lost his job and was home all day every day...
We were all home, and I was having a hard time with MY routine. My daily "chores" and yoga became hit and miss - or even non-existent. Our budget was (and still is) a hot mess. The work I was doing to promote my Etsy shop and figure out how to best use social media is still on vacation mode. My Bible study (which was also my social life) was canceled! And it's very hard to mop floors with people always around - ha!
While I was usually coordinating one car for two working people (husband and son), we all of a sudden had two vehicles (with daughter home) and no one was going anywhere! Such a weird predicament!
Our high school son finished on-line high school in a very anti-climatic way - he submitted his last final and that was it! We couldn't even celebrate with dinner at his favorite restaurant. No open house... no party... And the summer event that he'd been looking forward to was canceled.
It's kind of ironic that we noticed the other day this calendar on the refrigerator to keep track of our son's work schedule. In some ways it's like time stood still once the virus hit and he was laid off. March almost seems like forever ago.
But today, I finally hit the reset button. Hubby's back at the office, and I actually did my AND mopped the floor! It's a small but important step to get me back on track! Thankfully, each day is a chance to reset and start again!
The faithful love of the LORD never ends! His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.
Lamentations 3:22-23 NLT
